I'll be honest: I have a tendency to think in more romantic than platonic lines, so these two questions were a challenge!

Top Five Currently Airing Shows

Okay, this is a slightly biased question, given that several shows have just wrapped, leaving me vaguely disappointed, and several shows have not yet started with new episodes, leaving me hopeful and optimistic.

So I'm going to answer this question in a completely un-5-things format.

( Fic Snippets )

I quit Chuck after season two, but I'm still downloading episodes for my mother. Well, this week I read a spoiler that make me want to watch the episode, so I'm in the process of doing that. However, there was a line that pissed me off so much that I had to post.

Sarah says: ( Chuck vs The Tick-Tac )

Seriously, I almost threw up. Although that could have been the thirteen onion rings I ate an hour ago.

Also sickening is the fact that their is a Wesley/Andrew community on livejournal but not a Wesley/Fred on. Fandom, how so cruel?

Compared with that, j's new navigation bar is just very, very annoying. Why would I want to go to friends of my friends with one click when I can't got to my friends with one click?

Normally these shipping memes are kind of 'well, duh' but since I've recently gotten into new fandoms and have not been writing fic... I think my flist will find, if not suprising answers, answers they've haven't heard before.

Six ships you are into right now:

o1. Adelle/Dominic (Dollhouse)
o2. Kahlan/Richard (Legend of the Seeker)
o3. Will/Emma (Glee)
o4. Victor/Sierra (Dollhouse)
o5. Ried/JJ (Criminal Minds
o6. Kantiss/Peeta (The Hunger Games)

three ships you liked but don't like/aren't a rabid fangirl for anymore:

Which totally does not mean I ship these characters with anyone else, ever. I'm just not actively reading them atm.

o7. Kakashi/Sakura (Naruto)
o8. Angela/Hodgins (Bones)
o9. Sarah/Chuck (Chuck)

four ships you never liked

1o. Will/Terri (Glee)
11. Cara/Richard (Legend of the Seeker)
12. Parker/Eliot (Leverage)
13. Kaylee/Mal (Firefly)

two ships you're curious about, but don't actually ship

14. Kahlan/Cara (Legend of the Seeker)
15. Rachel/Puck (Glee)

( Somebody To Love )

 From this week's fannish5 :

List five characters you'd want on your side in any kind of trouble. Bonus points for assembling an "Action Team" with complementary skills.

1.) Jack Bristow

2.) Elizabeth Swann

3.) Sophie Deveraux

4.) Sarah Walker

5.) Max Guvera

I would want to have one of these individuals by my side no matter what kind of trouble I was in. However, this would make a terrible team, because with the exception of Sophie and Sarah, these people are not good at taking orders. And Sarah wouldn't take order from anyone on this list except Jack.

Okay, so in the first Chuck episode of the new season ( vague spoilers )

Okay, who on my flist watches Chuck? Show of hands, please.

If you don't, let me pimp for a moment. Chuck is show about a guy named Chuck (surprise, surprise), who was kicked out of college, had his girlfriend stolen by his best friend, and has been working at a dead-end computer repair job at Buy More for the last five years. Then his former best friend sends him an email that uploads the entire NSA and CIA databases into his head. 

Why you should watch this show:

-it's Get Smart meets Alias

-it only gets better in the second season.

- it has platonic, familial, and romantic relationships, and all of them are treated as important.

-the writing is consistently top-notch.

- it's funny. And honestly funny, not fake sitcom funny.

-it's dramatic. When they want to rip your heart out, they do.

-Adam Baldwin.

-fantastic action sequences. In which the main heroine kicks so much ass.

-great outfits.

Now, if anyone on my flist has actually watched this show, I would love to squee about it in all it's spoilery glory and find out what other people thing about the game-changer finale.

(Which is more me keeping track of when shows come back and which on-going series I'm watching.)
