jade_sabrethis is not a post about Mississippi, nor is it telling you that I'm going out of town for the week for various family/friend activities--oh, wait.
TELEVISION MEME
Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
y'all--I had a hard time coming up with five shows. I almost resorted to Sailor Moon. WHAT DID I WATCH BEFORE I WENT TO COLLEGE? Ganked from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
redbrunja
SIDE NOTE: I am working on those writing memes y'all gave me. But, well, the first one was supposed to be five drabbles and now it's like five pages long and not done so. You know me and brevity--it's been a while since we've had a chat.
1) ATLA (seen: entire show)
2) Chuck (seen: season one and two and the beginning of season three)
3) Enterprise (seen: almost the whole thing; did not watch the finale on principle)
4) Glee (seen: the back nine, and like half the first part of the season)
5) Bones (seen: large chunks from various seasons)
01. Who's your favorite character in 2 (Chuck)?
Oh, this is hard, because there are so many awesome characters! (Also, I have not seen season 3 yet, so keep that in mind.) Ellie and Awesome are definitely at the top of the list, and Casey. Sarah and Chuck would be higher if the writers would get a grip on how to write a character arc. I'm really fond of Morgan too--he's come a long way from his creepster best friend beginnings.
Um...Ellie and Awesome.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (ATLA)?
Combustion Man. Seriously, what was the point? What got cut? What were we supposed to understand?
03. What's your favorite episode of 4 (Glee)?
Um. I really liked the finale, and the episode where Will and Sue squicked everyone out by almost smooching, and large chunks of the Gaga episode.
Or maybe just the Puckleberry episode.
04. What's your favorite season of 5 (Bones)?
Oh, I don't know, two? Because I've seen the most of that one?
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3 (Enterprise)?
TRIP/T'POL, BABY. *waves the flag proudly, and still occasionally goes back and reads the fanfic she faved*
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2 (Chuck)?
Ellie/anyone not Awesome and Awesome/anyone not Ellie. Sarah/that guy in season 3 who would have been okay if they had brought back that super-sexy British guy but they didn't.
07. How long have you watched 1 (ATLA)?
Since November 2005.
08. How did you become interested in 3 (Enterprise)?
Dude, it was the new Star Trek series! It was one of the few shows that my family would have dinner in front of! ...at least in the beginning.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4 (Glee)?
Diana Argon. Tied with Jane Lynch, and with a healthy dose of love for Chris Colfer.
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 (ATLA), 2 (Chuck) or 5 (Bones)?
Oh dear. ATLA had about, mmm, ten minutes of hateful content at the very end; Chuck's third season apparently goes whack, but I haven't seen it; and Bones just needs to hurry up and let Booth and Bones navigate the rocky waters of actual relationships.
(Side note: I saw whichever episode ends with her saying she's jealous of her friends for believing in love as an eternal, lasting thing, and that line helped me a great deal towards understanding her character, and so I'm a little more okay with how she behaves towards relationships--but I haven't gotten any real sense that her character has changed at all, and that is vexsome. And the show now is currently riding the knife-edge of "not getting them together" and "oh my God after all they've done for each other HOW ARE THEY NOT TOGETHER" which is bad territory because it becomes less about them getting together 'cause it would be awesome and more about them getting together because the dude[/or chick, though I haven't seen that as often] deserves to get her[/him] after all that's happened, and that's not a good reason to ship anything.)
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 (ATLA) or 3 (Enterprise)?
Probably Enterprise, because it had more seasons. Propotionally, I've seen all of ATLA, but I'm missing half a season from Enterprise, so.
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Glee), who would you be?
Um. Frankly, no one? Maybe Mike Chang. He hasn't had too much stuff happen to him.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1 (ATLA)?
Oh dear. Who is my favorite character tonight? Old age, in their sleep, for all of them.
14. Give a random quote from 1 (ATLA)?
THIS TASTES LIKE LEAF JUICE.
15. Which character from 5 (Bones) would be a good guest star on 2 (Chuck)?
...omg
Booth on Chuck
oh
em
gee
16. Would a 2 (Chuck)/4 (Glee) crossover work?
A musical episode of Chuck involving neurotic high school students WHILE SUE SYLVESTER HELPS THEM DISMANTLE BOMBS OH MY GOD YESPLZ.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (ATLA)that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Mai/Earth King do it.
18. Has 5 (Bones) inspired you in any way?
Only to rant about UST in television.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 (Chuck) or 4 (Glee)?
Um. Again, I've not seen the third season of Chuck, and despite the fact that a crossover between the two would be awesome, the cast members for both are really really talented, but also talented at different things. Like, Glee has more kinds of talent, but that doesn't mean the people on Chuck are less talented. And a lot of the things I don't like about the acting on Glee is more writer-related than actor--the guy playing Will Schuester is doing the best he can with the wild stuff he's given.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 (Enterprise) or 5 (Bones)?
Oh, you did NOT just make me think of the Enterprise theme song, which, after the first episode, we would always change the channel for. Oh blech.

My sister and I were in the grocery store last weekend or whenever I was last with her, and the check-out guy told her she looked like the kid from The Sixth Sense (believe it or not, she gets it a lot--it's our squinty little eyes). But the kid bagging groceries had this -___- look. Kid did not know what The Sixth Sense was. I could not believe it.

Date: 2010-08-02 03:15 pm (UTC)Combustion Man. Seriously, what was the point? What got cut? What were we supposed to understand?
Now that you mention it, if he were cut out we MAY have gotten a few seconds to find out where Ursa was hanging out at? (WHY she was never a member of the white lotus astounds me! Why?!)
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (ATLA)?
Combustion Man. Seriously, what was the point? What got cut? What were we supposed to understand?
Puckleberry. ♥
O_O Cough, that episode turned me towards the pairing even though I was nonchalant towards it. Such a shame more hasn't been said on it.
Oh dear. ATLA had about, mmm, ten minutes of hateful content at the very end;
I WANT THE ORIGINAL NON SHIPPY ENDING. (Oh yes there was an original that made a bit more sense. WHY would Zuko be in a tea shop in the EK when he's just become the Fire Lord?)
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Glee), who would you be?
Um. Frankly, no one? Maybe Mike Chang. He hasn't had too much stuff happen to him.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (ATLA)that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Mai/Earth King do it.
As much as I love Jet/Mai, this could work.

Date: 2010-08-03 02:42 am (UTC)The end of Mash-Up is what got me into Puckleberry fic is what got me into Glee fic is what got me into Glee. "We were never friends"? OMG, trope me harder, Puckleberry. Om. Nom nom.
STUPID SHIPPY ENDING so nonsensical, so badly drawn. *weeps*
Mai/Earth King has all the stuff we love about Maiko with none of the bad stuff. I mean let's face it, Mai was in love with pre-scarringdork!Zuko. The Earth King is a huge dork, with none of the complex psychological issues.
(also in my private canon she is the one holding the whip in their public interactions but he's wicked awesome in bed.)

Date: 2010-08-03 02:44 am (UTC)hey now, Chuck is entertaining television. With added geek references, and lots of really tall, attractive men.
because I haven't seen enough Samurai Jack. I mentioned Enterprise, I mean come on, how old school do you want me to get here.
