Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them! (I choose five shows that I want to talk about, not necessarily my favorite shows of all time.)
1) Alias
2) Burn Notice
3) True Blood
4) Community
5) Legend Of The Seeker
01. Who's your favorite character in 2 (Burn Notice)?
Definitely Michael Westen, although lately Fi has been climbing the charts.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (Alias)?
Slone. Not because he was a villain but because he was a villain who long-outlived my credulity. By the third season I could not understand why Jack didn't get analytical and just put a bullet in his head for practicality's sake.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4 (Community)?
Hands-down, 1x15 "Romantic Expressionism." This episode is choke-full of two things I love, Jeff and Britta being BFFs and Annie/Jeff subtext (that gateway douche-bag conversation will never stop being hilarious). And the Pierce subplot is almost watchable.
04. What's your favorite season of 5 (Legend of the Seeker)?
While I have much love for season one (Listener! All the times Richard and Kahlan made out while being other people! Denna! The best AU episode ever!) I'm going to have to go with Season Two. Cara! Leo! "Princess!" The epic girl!fights!
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3 (True Blood)?
Jessica/Hoyt. Eric/Sookie is hotter but I like both of Hoyt and Jessica more consistently.
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2 (Burn Notice)?
Sam and Michael kind of makes me gag.
07. How long have you watched 1 (Alias)?
I finished the first season in August of 07, right before I left for France.
08. How did you become interested in 3 (True Blood)?
I read the books and it must be said, vampires are a weakness of mine. But it must be said that I kept watching because it seemed like everyone on my flist was watching it.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4 (Community)?
Alison Brie. This is by no means a slam on either Gillian Jacobs or Yvette Nicole Brown (both are good actresses although I don't think their characters are particularly hard to play) but I've listened to Alison Brie speak and it's so clear that Annie is very much not Alison Brie and that the character and her mannerisms (which are interesting, consistent, and natural) are all acting choices and not the actress shining through.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 (Alias), 2 (Burn Notice) or 5 (Legend of the Seeker)?
LotS.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 (Alias) or 3 (True Blood)?
Alias. Sometimes that was not a good thing.
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Community), who would you be?
I think I'm most like Britta and could handle her life quite well.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1 (Alias)?
Sydney would die in her sleep, before Vaugn.
14. Give a random quote from 1 (Alias).
"You just threw your beeper into the Pacific."
15. Which character from 5 (Legend of the Seeker) would be a good guest star on 2 (Burn Notice)?
Danger! Fandom incompatibility! Danger!
16. Would a 3/4 (True Blood/Community) crossover work?
Not in the traditional sense but I imagine much hilarity could ensue if the characters of Community did a group showing of True Blood.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (Alias) that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Jack/Nadia. If by 'strangely okay' you mean 'so wrong and yet so right.'
18. Has 5 (Legend of the Seeker) inspired you in any way?
I can't say that it has.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 (Burn Notice) or 4 (Community)?
Definitely Community. That show lives and dies by cast cohesion and chemistry and while I love Fi and Sam and Madeline, Burn Notice really is The Michael Westen Show.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 (True Blood) or 5 (Legend of the Seeker)?
True Blood automatically wins this, even if it had better competition than LotS's lame CGI sword.
