Fandom Meme

[potentiality_26]

Hello everyone!

So, I'm trying this fandom meme my new friend megan_moonlight is doing.  It's similar to ones I've done before, but there are a couple of different questions, so I can excuse it.


Give me a fandom and I'll tell you:

Favorite male character:
Favorite female character:
Prettiest character:
Funniest character:
Most badass character:
Favorite season:
Favorite episode:
Favorite romantic ship:
Romantic ship you don't like:
Favorite friendship:
Character who would be your BFF:

As a reminder, my main fandoms are Angel, The Blacklist, Cabin Pressure, Castle, Discworld, Doctor Who, Due South, Firefly, The Good Wife, Harry Potter, Heroes, The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, Justified, Longmire, Marvel Cinematic Universe (Avengers movies & Agents of SHIELD), Murdoch Mysteries, Once Upon a Time, Orphan Black, Person of Interest, Pirates of the Caribbean, Profit, Robin Hood, Sanctuary, Sherlock, Sleepy Hollow, Star Trek (all the series and movies), Stargate Atlantis, Stargate SG-1, Torchwood, Warehouse 13, Welcome to Night Vale, X-Men 

I feel like I’m forgetting a few (when am I not?), so if you want to ask me about a fandom I haven’t mentioned, go for it. I’ll tell you if I’m not familiar.

Ooohhh I love these memes. Did I ask you for Angel? I get so excited when I find a fellow Angel fan :D

Or how about DS9? I soooo loved that one!

And how come no love for SG: Universe??

I could never really get into SGU. Since watching OUAT (given my love for Robert Carlyle) I've always planned to give it another try, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

Angel and DS9 coming right up!

I started SGU for RC, and it took a while to grow on me, but now it's one of my favorite shows of all time, the writing is utterly brilliant. I'd put it up there with BSG and Firefly, it's THAT good!
/plug!

SGU did seem to me the kind of show that took a while to warm up, I just didn't have the time to give it a fair shot. I'll give it another go eventually, though.

Angel

Favorite male character: Wesley
Favorite female character: Fred (and Illyria)
Prettiest character: Gwen
Funniest character: Cordelia, I think- but Lorne is funny too. Also, I have a very old memory of watching Angel with my mother kind of weaving in and out of the room, not really knowing what was going on, and she would refer to him as 'The gay interior decorator guy.' Whenever I rewatch, I think of that and laugh so hard.
Most badass character: Illyria
Favorite season: S5; I loved the Wolfram and Hart arc, and also having Spike as a regular.
Favorite episode: "The Girl in Question"
Favorite romantic ship: Fred/Wesley or Illyria/Wesley, but I was willing to read Wesley/pretty much anyone fic-wise.
Romantic ship you don't like: Watching BTVS, I liked Buffy with Angel and with Spike, but the way Angel/Buffy and Spike/Buffy were played on Angel made both a lot less appealing.
Favorite friendship: Gunn and Wesley
Character who would be your BFF: I really can't think. I'm sure Fred and I could be friends, though.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Favorite male character: Probably Garak, but my favorite regular is Odo
Favorite female character: Jadzia, but I love Kira too. Chosing is hard :(
Prettiest character: Kira
Funniest character: Quark
Most badass character: I think Sisko, in a lot of ways- I don't think any other captain faced the sheer number of horrible decisions that he did, and he hardly ever flinched. Kira is pretty badass too, though.
Favorite season: I'm really not sure. I definitely favor the early seasons, though- I liked it when the show was focused more on the Cardassian/Bajoran issues and less on the Dominion War.
Favorite episode: "The Wire"
Favorite romantic ship: Garak/Bashir and Kira/Odo. I liked Worf and Jadzia a lot too, but those two were my "ships."
Romantic ship you don't like: Bashir/Ezri; Not only did they replace my beloved Jadzia with someone I didn't like half as much, but the whole thing read as very contrived, very 'no, look how hetero everyone is!'
Favorite friendship: I loved it when Garak and Odo started to be friends, for obvious reasons. I liked Kira and Jadzia's friendship too.
Character who would be your BFF: Keiko O'Brian

Interesting. I was mildly Buffy/Angel when watching BTVS but when ATS came along I fell hard for Angel/Cordy. I liked Spuffy too, but you're right, something about Spike's awesomeness in ATS just made Spuffy seem ... I dunno, less fitting?

Kira! Odo! oh GARAK! I agree on Ezri, I could never warm to her because she was just so wrong for Bashir, and it felt forced. Plus, I hate that so much of the last season was wasted on a brand new character when we already had such a spectacular cast.

I was mildly Buffy/Angel when watching BTVS but when ATS came along I fell hard for Angel/Cordy.

Pretty much my feeling. On Angel, we were focused on the plotlines and romances of Angel, and when Buffy was brought into it, it was really only to add conflict, which to me did a disservice both to Buffy as a character and to the Angel ships.

Plus, I hate that so much of the last season was wasted on a brand new character when we already had such a spectacular cast.

Very true. I get that if they felt they needed a major character to die to prove that the situation was serious it pretty much had to be Jadzia because there was already a vehicle to bring in a new character to take her place, but I just really didn't want a new character.

[liliannabelle.livejournal.com]

My memory is fuzzy but I'm pretty sure we lost Jadzia because the actress tried to hold out to get paid even remotely what they were paying the male leads, but they just shrugged and wrote her out :( so Ezri was not even really long term planned, she was just such a distraction away from the characters we cared about :/

That's unfortunate, but I can believe it all too easily.
