sophieisgodRULES:
-List six of your favourite TV shows in no particular order, without looking at the questions
-Simply answer the questions.
1. Rome
2. Doctor Who/ Torchwood (same universe, it counts!)
3. Heroes
4. Firefly
5. The West Wing
6. Home & Away
1. Who is your favourite character from #2?
Harsh! I'm going to have to say The Doctor (Nine, if pushed), but that's far too obvious because the show's named after him. Cap'n Jack Harkness got so much love he got his own spinoff, plus the angst, plus the HoYay, plus the RAF coat... I loves him. And yes, I am aware that I just totally cheated.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4?
Again, harsh! I love all the key characters. Is this including, like incidental characters? I need guidelines, dammit! Okay, of the crew-type people, it would have to be Book, just because we never got his backstory or anything. Damn you, Cancellation Gods! Of the randoms, Badger's accent pissed me right off. Oh, scratch that. Nandi the Mal-stealing Whore! Didn't care for her. She made Inara cry!
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?
Oh, this is completely awesome. Bloody assassinations in the White House? Really really fast-paced Latin dialogue. Nudity, obviously (Josh, it is your time to shine). Lots and lots of violence, with swords, on the streets of DC. And I can see Vorenus and Donna totally getting it on.
4. Who is your favourite ship from #6?
Mattie and Ric forever. It's been years in the making, and only now are they both balanced enough for it to work. Sigh. Shout out to Tony 'n' Beth, for showing that middle-aged people can find love too!
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and #6 on a blind date, who would they be?
Hmm, Heroes meets Summer Bay. I could either set up 2 characters I loathe, or 2 characters I really like. Which is funner? Also, all the H&A characters I like are in relationships! Ooh, okay. Nathan Petrelli (AKA Squarejaw) and Sally Fletcher. I think it would be one of those screwball type things where they hate each other but find each other undeniably attractive, then fall disgustingly in love. With snark. Also, I think Nathan could have a lot of fun corrupting Sally.
All of this would of course take place in a time when it was no longer TOO SOON!
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
Phnar. All righty, I'm going to take the pervert hat off, so bye-bye Simon Tam and Mal Reynolds. I would spend the day with Wash, so he could tell me anecdotes about juggling geese and let me fly Serenity. Then, if Zoe wasn't looking, I would feel his biceps.
7. If you could change anything about #2's plotline what would you change?
DW is mostly perfect! I'd like Rose to stay, but then we wouldn't have had the magnificent, heart-breaking angst, and I do love me some angst. Ohhh, Torchwood! Okay, I would cut out Owen's ridiculous falling-in-love with stupid pilot lady plot, and Owen's stupid Weevil fight club thing. That whole lesbian alien pendant thing was a bit stupid. Actually, that was so trashy it can stay. More consistency next season! If in doubt, just add smut! I'm serious. Janto forever!
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #3 and why you like the relationship between them.
*does smutty laugh*
Okay, the BroYay. Brothers do not touch that much! Brothers do not have that much EyeSex! Actors playing brothers do not generate sexual chemistry! .... Unless they're played by Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia. God, I love those guys.
Smut aside, I think the dynamic/ dependency between the two of them is really interesting, especially Peter's apparent need to please his brother (oh gawd). Okay, I'm stopping now.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in credits) from #1 and #5 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
Ooh, that's harsh. For the sake of clarity, we're saying Season One credits, okay? Although wouldn't the lead character in TWW be POTUS? Gaah. Is it Sam up first? Don't judge me, I don't have the DVDs at uni. Okay, so that's Vorenus and Sam. I'm going with Vorenus, because angst > charm. Plus he makes me cream.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #6, what would you choose?
If they ever show the credits ever again?! Sally's at the front, where she belongs. I'd definitely bump up TonyAndBeth. Brad wouldn't be there. Also, I'd like the camera to linger much longer on the naked, dripping torso of Forearms Furze.
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #4, what would the character be like and what would their role be?
Ohh, they could have had so many more characters if it hadn't been CANCELLED! I think it would be pretty cool to see some more of the other River-type geniuses that Blue Sun were testing. Bring the crazy.
12. What happens in your favourite episode of #2?
Favourite episode? Okay, I'm going to cheat here, because it's basically the same plot twice. Rose gets sent away by the Doctor for her own safety, comes back, saves the day.... Then they're parted forever. *sobs uncontrollably*
Shout out to End Of Days... Jack gets betrayed by his team and shot in the head, comes back to life, saves the world from a Fuck-off monster, dies again, comes back again.... and kisses Ianto.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1 who would it be and how would you do it?
Well, with the whole 'based on history' thing they've got going on.. Caesar was pretty much doomed. His death was fantabulous, though. I like them all, even the bastards are interesting and have fun motivations! Um... maybe... Ooh, Niobe's annoying sister! There we go.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5 which would you choose?
I'm going to go with Heroes, mainly because I'm shallow and I'm drawn to the pretty like a moth to a flame. Also, blah blah special effects cakes.
15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Unfair question. There are too, too many. The Doctor, because he's the Doctor. Jack, because he's an intergalactic space whore, with issues. Ianto, because the man knows how to rhyme. Vorenus, because he's so wounded and masculine. Peter Petrelli... So. Damn. Pretty. Cap'n Tightpants, because I want to be on his crew. Toby Ziegler, because clever is sexy.
Okay. The Doctor, as played by Christopher Eccleston.
*which allows me the special metaphysical loophole of getting to Peter Petrelli via Claude*
