snoggedPick your five favorite TV shows (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don't cheat!
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2. Angel
3. How I Met Your Mother
4. Big Bang Theory
5. Grey’s Anatomy
01. Who's your favorite character in 2? (Angel)
I’m gonna say Fred. This is actual a hard choice for me because I drool like crazy over Lindsey and Wesley. But with Fred…I see substance behind the pretty face. She’s not just someone I want to see boned over and over again. (Heh.) I think she’s gorgeous and she’s nerdy and she didn’t deserve to die. I still kinda hate Joss for that more than anything. No matter how cool Illyria is.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1? (Buffy)
My least favorite character: Andrew. Hands down. I think he’s whiny and annoying and I never thought he really fit into the dynamic of the Scooby Gang. I mean, I know there are some on my flist who like him and yes, I’ve written him…but I still just find him off-putting.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4? (Big Bang Theory)
I really want to say the “Panty Pinata Polarization” is my favorite because it’s a fun episode and the dynamic Penny and Sheldon bring as they try to one up each other is just so funny.
04. What's your favorite season of 5? (Grey’s Anatomy)
I’m going to say Season 2 (though the most recent season comes in close second). I think Season 2 found a stride for the characters of Seattle Grace and I remember being so blown away by the episodes week after week. The bomb episode in particular continually strikes me as epic and the Izzie/Denny storyline is so heartwrenching.
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3? (HIMYM)
My favorite canon ship is Barney and Robin. I’ve been hooked on the idea of those two getting together ever since I saw episode 4 of Season 1 (and even thinking back to it…the first episode where he cracks /You just know she likes it dirty/ made me feel pretty compelled to love those two even more. And now that Season 5 promises to show them in a relationship, I couldn’t be more excited to see how they explore it.
06. Who is your antiship in 2? (Angel)
Probably Angel/Nina. That was just a big no no in my book.
07. How long have you watched 1? (BtVS)
I started watching BtVS during Season 2. My friend Rachel had started watching it the week before and she was totally geeking about it that I needed to share in her geekness. The first episode I saw was “Who’s Line Is It Anyway, Part 1?” and I was immediately hooked by the plot and the characters.
08. How did you become interested in 3? (HIMYM)
I knew about HIMYM because it was Alyson Hannigan’s new project but I had never gotten to see it until I stumbled on a repeat performance of the Season 2 episode “How Lily Stole Christmas.” The show made me laugh so hard I fell out of my seat and any show like that is worth devoting time too.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4? (Big Bang Theory)
Jim Parsons, without a doubt. That man has amazing comedic chops and plays Sheldon so perfectly
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 or 2 or 5? (BtVS, Angel, Grey’s Anatomy)
I think I have to go with Angel on this one. At least from my perspective on them now. It combined the supernatural with mature elements that I never really saw in BtVS. It also was the place where David Boreanaz truly blossomed into an amazing actor and his supporting cast was so loveable.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (BtVS or HIMYM)
I’ve seen more of BtVS. It ran for seven seasons where HIMYM is only going into its 5th.
12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (Big Bang Theory)
I think I’d be Penny. She can be fun and flirty but can hold her own in the geek world. I mean, I’m more of a geek than she is but I’m totally fun and flirty :)
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in 1? (BtVS)
How would I kill off Willow?
Angelus would bite her and make her his mate. Hey, this question never said anything about making them undead.
14. Give a random quote from 1? (BtVS)
If you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel. A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend. Have fun!
15. Would a 3/4 crossover work? (HIMYM, BBT)
I’m sure it would. I’ve seen it done before.
16. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple (BtVS)
Willow/Spike or Willow/Angel. What did you expect me to say? :)
17. Has 5 inspired you in any way? (Grey’s Anatomy)
It’s inspired me not to pursue surgery as a career field. I’d suck at it.
18. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? (Angel or TBBT)
I’d say Angel. Joss made it very easy to get close to the characters and to fall in love with them. I remember hurting when they hurt and sighing blissfully when they loved. It was amazing.
19. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? (HIMYM or Grey’s Anatomy)
Ooh, this is a toughie. But I think I have to say Grey’s. That’s how I found out the Fray and the Pipettes and they are so amazing!

on 2009-08-06 05:47 am (UTC)And HIMYM/TBBT crossovers have been awesome so far! I recently read one on fanfic.net where Sheldon's sister Missy is Ted's "The One", and it was really cleverly conceptualized (but I personally didn't find some of the writing itself impressive) Its here if you wanna read it - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5166293/1/The_Ted_Mosby_Connection :)

on 2009-08-07 05:31 am (UTC)Omg, I'm gonna go sob at the memory of Denny. I think I stopped watching after then, or maybe somewhere through the third season, I don't remember. But I was so, so upset when they killed him. He is probably one of my favorite characters from any show. And I've been wanting lately to see PS I Love You to see how Jeffrey Dean Morgan is elsewhere (not to mention James Marsters!)
