If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.
It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.
When you're finished, post this little paragraph on your LJ and be surprised (or mortified) about what people DON'T ACTUALLY remember about you.
Now -
Name your top six TV shows right now, before reading the questions:
1. Firefly
2. Doctor Who
3. Rescue Me
4. Supernatural
5. Deadwood
6. Grey's Anatomy
Then answer the questions:
1. Who is your favourite character from #2? [DW]
...probably Nine. Just because he's my first Doctor and there are no words for how much I love him.
2. Who is your least favourite character from #4? [SPN]
What's-her-face. Demon girl. I found her to be such an annoying, clichéd villain. Thanks but no thanks.
3. What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? [Ffl/Dwd]
Time travel. Or AUing either of the shows to make them fit with the other's 'verse, which would actually not be that hard at all. I can see Deadwood set on a border planet, with all of its characters just the way they are, and the Serenity crew having some business in town. (...and here are the "Simon/Seth undressing each other" mental pictures again, thank you,
the_grynne.) Yes, I think it would work better this way than the other way around, because if you move the Serenity crew to the Deadwood-verse it means no longer having Serenity and that just wouldn't work.
4. Who is your favourite ship from #6? [GA]
Burke/Yang. Although Alex/Izzie are, surprisingly, coming a close second.
5. If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? [RM/GA]
*dies laughing* Right. Mm. Pre-Preston, Cristina and Franco. They'd have great sex and never call each other again.
6. If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do? [SPN]
Sam. I mean, I love Dean like you wouldn't believe, but I don't know what we could possibly do for a whole day together. Unless it involves him training me or taking me on a hunting trip. So, yeah, Sam. I'd show him around Paris, take him to some great little bookstores. We'd have coffee. I'd take him to the Notre Dame and the Père Lachaise. Lunch would include some baguette sandwiches. Dinner would involve melted cheese and charcuterie. Then we'd go have a few beers in a pub. And there would be nothing supernatural happening whatsoever. Until Dean called and went "where the hell have you been, I need you, I'm up to my eyeballs in ghouls" or whatever it is, and he'd have to go.
7. If you could change one thing about #2's plot line, what would you change? [DW]
Well, the only thing I might want to change has not happened yet. Let's just say, it all depends on how they handle the Captain Jack/Ten reunion.
8. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5, and why you like the relationship between them. [Dwd]
So. Many. Interesting, complex relationships, but right now I'd go with Alma and Trixie. They're in such different circles - Alma's a lady, Trixie's a whore. They shouldn't ever have even spoken to each other. But Trixie worked as a nanny for a young girl Alma had in her custody, and helped Alma quit the drugs she was on. They drifted apart, but when Alma found out that she was pregnant (out of wedlock, mind you), it's Trixie she turned to. And those are just facts, but the true complexity of their relationship is wonderful to see play out on screen. Trixie's pride, Alma's condescendance, all of it.
9. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be? [Ffl/RM].
Mal or Tommy? Mal. Definitely. I mean, I love Tommy, in a "he's such a SOB" sort of way, but. Mal. Mal all the way.
10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose? [SPN]
Wouldn't change a thing. For what little credits they have.
11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6, what would the character be like and what would their role be? [GA]
I would've said a boyfriend for Joe, but now that's been done. Damn. Mmm. Oh! An ex of Izzie. That happens to be a girl. Who will make Alex feel all insecure all over again. Once he's stopped drooling because she clocked him one.
12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2? [DW]
Rose hangs off of a balloon, a kid is mighty creepy, the Doctor revels in the fact that for once, everybody lives, and he deserves it, Jack almost gets killed, the Doctor dances. Yes, I cheated, it's a two-parter.
13. If you could kill off one of the characters of #1, who would it be and how would you do it? [Ffl]
I don't think we want to be killing any more of them. It's been done masterfully for one of the two casualties, anyway.
14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? [RM/Dwd]
Deadwood. I mean, I'd love to meet the RM boys (and girls), but god. Deadwood. Have you seen the sets? Deadwood Deadwood Deadwood.
15. So, I saved the best question for last. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
Firefly - Inara. Or Wash and Zoe, if I can get them both at once without disturbing their marriage. (Denial!)
But let's do each show. Who - Jack. Duh. It wouldn't last. Just a few lovely shags now and then.
RM - Johnny, I suppose. I don't think it would last more than a couple weeks, though.
SPN - ack. How can I possibly choose? Again, even though I'm a Dean girl, I'd probably have to say Sam. I wouldn't have anything in common with Dean.
GA - I could not date a surgeon. So that pretty much strikes them all off my list. ...I wouldn't throw Burke, Cristina or Izzie out of bed, though.
So, for those of you on the flist that wanted to know what I though of Grey's Anatomy? I love Burke and Cristina, I knew Alex wasn't just an asshole and I love him and Izzie is so amazingly beautiful, the Nazi rocks, but Shephard and Meredith bore me by now. His wife, though, is much more interesting. I like her. Oh, and George, how can anyone not like George.

Date: 2006-06-28 05:17 pm (UTC)I mean!
No, actually, I meant exactly that.
It was worth it, though. Even the hissy fit and tantrum. First day we met, and yelled at each other, and then bonded over alcohol. I'll never forget it. Apart from the parts the champagne made me blackout and you haven't found my bra have you?

Date: 2006-06-28 05:41 pm (UTC)My favorite, though, I think was the lazy Sunday we spent not changing out of our pajamas, curled up in blankets to ward off the heavy November rainstorms. A constant flood of tea so heavy you were up to pee every forty-five minutes, fresh baked chocolate chip cookies intoxicating the whole of the house, my dog, Bo, taking up more body space than should be humanly possible and trying to crawl into your lap despite his being the approximate size and weight of a twelve year old. Paging through the dictionary and making fun of words together. That was a great day.
Pity about what happened after dinner, though.

Also, did you see? Terry Gilliam, Good Omens! I am flailing with trepidation. Excitement, and not a small amount of terror.

It would have been bad enough if that was all that had happened, but really the whole thing got backed up. And people started booing. Which of course spooked the horses. The children cried a little, nd the clown wandered off, but I guess they got it started up again.
You would think that they would come after you, but they didnt. And we watched the rest of the parade, and had a beer afterwards.
