Pick your five favourite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions (from...actually I can't remember who I snagged it from. Lots of people):
A. Stargate Atlantis
B. Numb3rs
C. NCIS LA
D. The West Wing
E. Criminal Minds
1. Who's your favourite character in B (Numb3rs)? Colby, though Megan and David are very close seconds.
2. Who's your least favourite character in A (SGA)? McKay, no question. Partly because fandom thinks he's so wonderful, and partly because season 5 would have been a lot less bizarre than it was without him. Also, because he's just annoying.
3. What's your favourite episode of D (The West Wing)? Three Daughters, maybe. Or any episode early on in CJ's tenure as chief of staff, when she's being brilliant at it.
4. What's your favourite season of E (Criminal Minds)? Season 3, I think - it had Emily, who I love, and fewer tragic backstory episodes than season 2.
5. Who is your favourite ship in C (NCIS LA)? On the actual show, Sam/G, because it's practically canon. In fic, though I don't think anyone's writing it, Dom/Nate.
6. Who is your anti-ship in B (Numb3rs)? Don/Charlie, because I just don't see it.
7. How long have you watched A (SGA)? Since 2006, when my co-worker kept telling me how good it was, and I bought season 1 while watching the current season on download, and got utterly confused (where did Ford go?!) but also hooked.
8. How did you become interested in C (NCIS LA)? I could not tell you, because I don't watch NCIS any more. Someone must have been talking about.
9. Who's your favourite actor/actress in D (The West Wing)? Alison Janney-she's attractive, she's tall, she's got a great laugh, she's smart and funny in interviews, and she plays one of the most awesome women on TV.
10. Which do you prefer: Show A or B or E (SGA, Numb3rs or Criminal Minds)? I think maybe Numb3rs - there's no-one on the show who annoys me like McKay, and it's a lot less terrifying and depressing than Criminal Minds.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, A or C (SGA or The West Wing)? The West Wing, because it ran for seven seasons against SGA's five. Plus I've actually seen every episode of TWW, unlike SGA where I skipped a few, especially in season 5
12. If you could be anyone from D, who would you be (The West Wing)? CJ, for her confidence, though I wouldn't want her job. In reality, I'mmore like Ellie, I think.
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in A (SGA)? That would be Sheppard, so... I guess heroically defending Atlantis to the end. Or in some way that allowed for the possibility of it all being a big mistake and him coming back.
14. Give a random quote from A (SGA)? SGA is not actually all that quotable, just for the record, but:
McKay: So exactly what kind of special training do you guys have to go through to get this sort of mission?
Lorne: "You guys"?
McKay: Yeah, you know - 'Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines. It's a great place to start'.
Lorne: And by this mission you mean hunting down a skilled weapons expert hopped up on Wraith drugs, in the pitch black of an alien planet?
McKay: Yes.
Lorne: Actually, I skipped that course in Major school.
McKay: I was afraid of that.
16. Would a C/D crossover work (NCIS LA/TWW)? It...could. Though NCIS is marines and navy, which TWW doesn't have a lot of. But Hetty does visit Washington occassionally, so maybe that way.
17. Pair 2 characters in A that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple (SGA): Surely I must have written one of those...Katie Brown and Keller. Despite having both dated McKay, or maybe because of it :)
18. Has E inspired you in any way (Criminal Minds)? Terrified me into closing my windows when it's late at night and I'm watching it, sure, but if you mean inspired in the typical positive sense, no, not so much.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, B or D (Numb3rs or The West Wing)? TWW definitely. Not that the Numb3rs cast aren't perfectly decent, but TWW's were definitely superior.
20. Which has better theme music, C or E (NCIS LA or Criminal Minds)? NCIS LA - it's much happier than CM's, and it comes with pretty shots of the beach.
(Hey, did anyone else notice, this meme doesn't have a number 15?)
