Pick five of your favourite shows, in no particular order, before you read the questions below, then answer them!
1. Buffy
2. Torchwood
3. Being Human
4. Dr. Who
5. Star Trek (original series version, thank you very much.)
01. Who's your favourite character in 2?
Owen the Slappable. And how. He's just so ... someone once described him as that mangy cat that skulks at the back of the house. Entirely capable of being calm enough to be fed by you, and yet still entirely capable of slashing you with it's claws.
02. Who's your least favourite character in 1?
How are we defining least favourite? Character who you didn't like or character you wanted wiped off the face of the Earth because of their actions. The second is easy, his name is Warren Mears, and I'm well aware I'm the only person online who thinks being flayed alive was just desserts. The first is more difficult because I like most of the speaking characters for one reason or another, or they're bad guys who you're not supposed to like.
03. What's your favourite episode of 4?
Genesis of the Daleks.
Closely followed by the Daemons.
04. What's your favourite season of 5?
Season 2, it contains slightly more of the episodes I love than the other two.
05. Who is your favourite ship in 3?
(Makes strange noises best described as 'akk'.) Um, I dunno. Probably Pilot! Mitchell and Pilot!Annie, although I do have a soft spot for Series!Mitchell/Series!Annie.
06. Who is your antiship in 2?
I think my exact comments re: Owen/Gwen were 'this will not end well'. It actually ended better than it really should have done, but ouch! for the duration. Not that it wasn't interesting, but it was effectively realistically awkward.
07. How long have you watched 1?
Since it first got broadcast on BBC2.
08. How did you become interested in 3?
The words, 'there's a vampire, a werewolf and a ghost living together' may well have had something to do with it :). And the trailer.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4?
Going with NuWho here, just for ease (you expect me to pick one out of millions for old skool who?), Catherine Tate does a fantastic job.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5?
You can't make me choose! I'd say Original Trek or Buffy out of the three.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3?
There are more episodes of Buffy, but I have seen all the episode of Being Human, so in terms of numbers, Buffy, in terms of percent of episode seen, Being Human.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?
The Doctor. :)
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1?
I actually quite like Spike's send off in Buffy (temporarily ignoring his return in Angel). Partly the callback to Han and Leia, which I've always assumed to be deliberate, and just 'no, you don't."
I actually love his ending from Angel even more but then again, um yeah, badass poetry and a fade to black unwinable fight.
14. Give a random quote from 1?
"We're hindering.' Willow to Principal Snyder, School Hard
15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2?
Any of them. It is part of the pleasure of Torchwood being one of the most crossoverable things ever.
16. Would a 3/4 crossover work?
Probably. Except the vampires in Dr. Who tend towards the, if not evil, then at least uncontrollable killery, and Mitchell's vamps aren't and I can't see it ending well.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Um, Holden/Buffy? I'm very bad at this shipping thing. But, baring the mildly evil aspect, he's definitely the best boyfriend material of the vampires we meet, and I can't help but think Spike was right re: Buffy liking a little monster in her man.
18. Has 5 inspired you in any way?
I'm not sure. Possible. Still not Vulcan but managing the science bit.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4?
See previous statement re: Dr. Who's cast of millions and Torchwood's cast of somewhat less than that. It's a bit of an unfair comparison.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5?
Star Trek, by a long way. Especially given that I can't even remember what Being Human's theme music sounds like.
1. Buffy
2. Torchwood
3. Being Human
4. Dr. Who
