Pick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat!
1) Doctor Who
2) Firefly
3) Merlin
4) Blackadder
5) Green Wing
01. Who's your favourite character in 2? (Firefly)
What?! Its Firefly, gorram it how in the Verse do you expect me to answer that. I love all of them equally. OK fine, fine, if you are going to force me at gun point… Wash because, oh come on I can practically recite his dinosaur speech in the pilot episode. All together now DAMN YOU FOX!!!
02. Who's your least favourite character in 1? (Doctor Who),
I suppose this means least favourite reoccurring character because and I can’t say the entire crew of the ship is “42” for sheer boringness? Alright, Rose. *Ducks* Let me explain first before you lynch me! I did love her when she was a companion, I really really did, but partly due to fandom being really insane when it comes to her and partly to do with the fact that they Keep Bringing Her Back, I’ve just gone off her a bit. Sorry.
03.What's your favourite episode of 4? (Blackadder) The last episode of the forth season because well anyone who has watched it knows why.
04. What's your favourite season of 5? (Green Wing) The second season mainly because I’m a Mac fangirl and just...love...watching him...
05. Who is your favourite ship in 3? (Merlin)
Well unusually for a Merlin fangirl I’m not convinced that Arthur and Merlin are at it like bunnies and actually find myself wishing for a nice gen fic. I actually quite like fics that explore Arthur/Gwen because the way he says Gwenivere is the hawtest thing ever but really I don’t have any ships in Merlin. What can I say: I’m a special snowflake.
06. Who is your antiship in 2? (Firefly)
River and Mal, which was why I was very disturbed when the movie came out and every one in the Pit started writing it. Its just they have developed such a father daughter relationship and that on top of River being all broken… ergh.
07. How long have you watched 1? (Doctor Who)
I’m a New!Who girl having been far to young to have watched the original series, so I started with season one of the new series, although I missed a couple of the first series out, still haven’t seen ghosts and Charles Dickens.
08. How did you become interested in 3? (Merlin)
I saw that it was the new BBC Saturday night family show and said to myself, well I suppose I have to give it a chance. I have to say that I did spend the first episode going “Specs? Tomatoes? What?” but then I turned that part of my brian off and just enjoyed the cute.
09. Who's your favourite actor/actress in 4? (Blackadder)
Again why does this have to be so hard? I think I have to say Rowan Attkinson because of his amazing facial expressions and wonderful line delivery but actually the entire cast is in third with Hugh Laurie a very close second. I just adore how wonderfully gormless he looks as George.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 or 2 or 5? (Doctor Who, Firefly or Green Wing)
I think it has to be Doctor Who. Firefly is amazing but doesn’t last for long enough and Green Wing is wonderful but I’m not fannish about it which adds so much to my enjoyment of a show. Although naked Mac on a motorcycle would almost make me reconsider.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (Doctor Who or Merlin)
Doctor Who but just because it has more episodes.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (Blackadder)
I would be Queenie because of the pretty dress and the ability to chop off the head of anyone I didn’t like.
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1?
Um, well on one hand that is easy, the Doctor dies saving the universe, preferably in the arms of the Master and his says something like “Now who’s won” and the Master is convinced that he has actually died and is devastated but then he regenerates in to Matt Smith and goes “I would never” and then the Master goes “What? What? Must you force my to add child molestation to my list of crimes?” and then they have sex and the Master blows up something and runs away again. Yes I have put far too much thought in to this. But on the other claw, the Doctor and Donna are equal in my estimate so… Donna dies of old age but before she does the Doctor gives her back her memories and takes her on one last journey then they return and she dies surrounded by her family.
14. Give a random quote from 1? (Doctor Who)
“I’m part of Hermits United. We meet up every ten years to swap stories about caves, it’s good fun. For a hermit.”
15. Would a 3/4 crossover work? (Merlin/Blackadder)
There is not enough yes in the world. After all the wonderful thing about Blackadder is that he slips into absolutely any part of history. Perhaps Blackadder is one of the Knights of Camelot but does everything he can to get out of fighting mythical beasts, Darling is the store master and is suspicious of how much Blackadder’s horse eats and of course Blackadder is selling stores to the next Kingdom. And Baldrick is dirtier than any of the other peasants. And George is the nitwit who volunteers them to go off and fight a Basilisk or something. Or, or Blackadder is a wizard and they all have to avoid Darling the witch hunter. Someone should totally write that.
16. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. (Doctor Who) Jenny and Ross they could run around saving the world and making quips and awful puns! It would be great.
17. Has 5 inspired you in any way? (Green Wing) It has inspired me to love Mac… and motorbikes… and Mac on a motorbike… preferably naked.
18. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? (Firefly or Blackadder) Oh God. I hate this meme with the passion of a thousand fiery burning suns! Right, Blackadder because all cast members went on the become British institutions and are right up there with tea as reasons to live in Britain.
19. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? (Merlin or Green Wing) Um… can’t say I really noticed the music in either of them. Green Wing because it is quite cool when they do the fast motion stuff and that has music.

Did they show you the whole of that series, or just the last episode?

Yes, it's pretty much unforgettable. I never thought they'd go there and was stunned when they did.

I gobble up Merlin/Arthur in a completely greedy way but I do like Arthur/Gwen too and agree about the way he says her name being amazingly hot. There isn't much Merlin gen fic around at the moment I'm afraid. The Merlin Big Bang has just gone live and is a lovely site but there's no gen fic as far as I saw.
no subject
Exactly, especially as it was a trope that everyone died at the end of the series but in a suitably slapstick and funny way and then we get this episode and all that gets blown away. I mean we expect Blackadder to come up trumps at the end but in the end there is no escape. Personally I well up every time he says "Good luck chaps" and means it.

And I think I've read all the gen fics out there! I don't mind really, after all when you have a show where the Slash Dragon goes on about "two sides of the same coin" and "the half cannot hate that which makes it whole", what do you expect? Really? Actually I do have a secret love for fics that have a proper OT4 I think there should be more of them out there.

I don't make it a habit of defending Rose, but they only brought her back once. They brought Martha back twice as many times.
I demand your write that Doctor/Master scenes. Just for the CRAX.
no subject
See I prefer the Lazarus Experiment to 42, after all we do get the Doctor in a tux, Martha being quite awesome and explosions where as 42 is just dull, dull, dull. Personally I think that they were saving up all their writing mojo for the finale. Which can I just say, favourite season finale, ever.
I don't make it a habit of defending Rose, but they only brought her back once. They brought Martha back twice as many times.
See that is true, but I don't mind that as much, partly because I just like Martha more now but also because I just feel that they didn't really do anything with Rose when they brought her back. Martha I feel that tehy did a good job of showing how she had moved on from the Doctor, got her life back on track etc, Rose... I would have loved it if she had been coming back to save the universe and was shown to have grown as an independent person in the mean time but instead it seemed like she had literally spent the whole two years finding a way to get back to the Doctor just because she couldn't live with out him. I don't know, I really don;t want to get in to the whole ship wars thing and actually I don't ship either of them with the Doctor so... Donna pwns both of them, hah! ;) Bring Donna back!!!
I demand your write that Doctor/Master scenes. Just for the CRAX.
No, seriously no, not only do I have at least five things I need to write before that but I am also terrified of writing Time Lords, seriously, you don't know how scared I am of trying the get in side their heads. That is why I don't write Who fic!!!
no subject
Yes, no ship wars, please. Especially because I don't really ship in Doctor Who, it just seems rather unnecessary. I do worship at the alter of all that is Martha, but I don't think Rose just waited around for the Doctor. Rose spent two years in the other world hanging out with Jackie, kicking ass at Torchwood, dating scientists, and baby-sitting her little brother. It was only when the start started going out that she decided to put all of TW's resources into getting to the doctor so she could tell him to stop running around and save the universe already! Of course, the finale didn't show this very well, but that's hardly Rose's fault.
Donna FTW!
