Character meme

Nicked from several people:

  • Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch (current or cancelled!)
  • Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each show
  • When guessed, bold the show and write a sentence about why you like that character
  • Post in your own livejournal if you want to play
  1. Blake's 7 - Vila. He's funny, sweet, vulnerable, brave despite all his fears, and utterly adorable.
  2. Farscape - Stark. I love all of them but Stark touches me the most because of his tragic past and losing Zhaan. And he's such fun to watch.
  3. Babylon 5 - Vir. (though Londo and G'Kar are tied) I have much the same reasons for loving Vir as Vila; Londo is fascinating and tragic and to me his story is the central one of B5; and G'Kar is the sexiest lizard I know.
  4. Battlestar Galactica - Starbuck because she's tough, strong, kick-arse, and the person I always wanted to be (hey, I was a kid who wanted to be a fighter-pilot). Pity about the cigars.
  5. Firefly - Wash. He's funny and cute and so loyal to his Zoe whom I also like a lot.
  6. Lost - Hurley. I don't know his back-story yet, but dude, he rocks. {Nobody actually guessed him, but I got confused and posted him instead of Data. :-P)
  7. ST: Deep Space Nine - Garak because he's witty, intriguing (in more ways than one), has a wicked twinkle in his eye, and is not at all 'plain and simple'.
  8. ST: The New Generation - Data for much the same reasons as Spock. I do regret them giving him an emotion ship and making him more human.
  9. ST: TOS - Spock, who else? He's a logical alien who regards humans with the bemusement I sometimes feel.
  10. Andromeda - Harper because he's funny and vulnerable and very entertaining to watch. However whereas I'd keep Vila if he followed me home, I'd call pest control on Harper.

Oh, I know some of these! Let's see...

1. Vila, needless to say.
2. Starky!
3. Vir
4. Hmm. This one, I don't know. Starbuck? Why do I somehow think that can't be right?
5. Umm... Wash?
6. I know you've said, but as I've never seen the show, I don't remember.
7. I think Odo.
8. Probably Data.
9. It's either Spock or McCoy. Let's say Spock.
10. Harper?

How'd I do?

Pretty good! You got 1, 2, 3 (well, tied with Londo and G'Kar whom I'd also have accepted), 4 (why not?), 5 (of course!), 8, 9, and 10. :-D

8/10! You know me well.

Well, Vila, obviously, and logically that should imply Vir, Wash and Harper for 3, 5 and 10, though logic doesn't always work. I'd guess Stark for 2; I haven't seen 4 or 6. Hm, Star Treks... I suspect the person closest to the VVWH mould would be Rom but it doesn't feel quite right. Maybe Odo? I don't think I've ever *thought* about a favourite character for TNG, which is so much an ensemble thing, but I suppose I find it difficult to imagine anyone plumping for anyone but Picard. And the original... it's so long since I've watched any of that, apart from one or two episodes I tried a few years ago to see if I could stand Kirk yet and I couldn't. Umm, umm, er, Scotty?

Yep! And my favourites aren't all the same type, you know. I must bold the ones people have got...

Ah, but it did work on all the shows where there was an obvious match!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, there are a couple of patterns there.

Hurley does indeed rock, and I enjoyed the episode with his backstory (especially the very end).

For DS9, I'm going to guess Miles.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! [grin]

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Nope! Hint: The DS9 character wasn't a core regular.

Oops, bolded the wrong line... Astro already guessed Data. Sorry. I'm at work and multi-tasking.

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
Either Garak or Rom for DS9?

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! It's Garak! What was your reasoning?

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 06:10 am (UTC)(link)
Because you said it was a non-regular, plain and simple.*g*

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
But there are other non-regulars! I do actually like Rom a lot, but Garak's way out in front.

[identity profile] selenak.livejournal.com 2005-04-04 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
True, but you have a penchant for either woobies or sarcastics. Hence my suggesting Garak and Rom. Garak first, because of statistics (haven't met the DS9 fan who doesn't love him most of the non-regs, if they don't love him most of all characters anyway).
