entwashian: Choose five series (no peeking before you choose them), list them, and then answer the questions behind the cut.
1. Firefly
2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
3. Veronica Mars
4. Lost
5. Battlestar Galactica
1. Which is your favorite series from your list?
Unlikeentwashian, I am going to go ahead and say Firefly in spite of there being so few episodes, because every single on was brilliant. After Firefly, probably Buffy.
2. If you were to pair two characters from 1 (Firefly) and 4 (Lost), who would they be?
Man, I am so tempted to say some sort of shallow boy-on-boy hot sex fantasy pairing, but I'm embarrassingly fond of the idea of Sawyer/Kaylee, because that would be about the most adorable thing ever. She would butter him up so much.
3. What is one thing you'd like to change about 3 (VM)'s plotline?
MORE PIZ.
4. If both main characters of 2 (Buffy) and 5 (BSG) were falling off a cliff, which one would you save?
I'd save most anyone from Battlestar Galactica over Buffy. I mean, who're the main characters? Probably Lee, Starbuck, Bill and Roslin? The Adam pseudo-fucked-up-family? Any of them over Buffy. She's so whiny and self-righteous. *ponders* not unlike Lee, actually, but we get less of him. And he's prettier.
5. Which event was the most horrible for you in 1 (Firefly)?
The fact there there's not MORE OF IT. If you count the movie, them giving Serenity the Reaver makeover is totally gut-wrenching. I didn't know Wash well enough to be really upset by that and I was expecting it the second time, but watching that part and Zoe going 'you want to VIOLATE our HOME' was really disturbing. Oh, and also, Sarah Paulson on the video thing, that's gut-wrenching too.
6. Which is your least favorite character of 2 (BtVS)?
Buffy. Also Darla, but mostly Buffy.
7. If the antagonist of 3 (VM) were to rape the main character of 1 (Firefly), what would you do?
Uh, agreed withentwashian, wtf question? Although, two of the antagonists of season 3 of Veronica Mars WERE rapists. I don't think Mal's their particular cup of tea, though.
8. What song reminds you of 5 (BSG)?
ETA: LOL, forgot to do this one. All Along the Watchtower, obviously.
9. Of 1 (Firefly), 3 (VM), and 5 (BSG), which is the easiest to think about?
Battlestar Galactica is always really hard-going, and Firefly is depressing because of the cancellation. Veronica Mars has Piz, who is ALWAYS easy to think about. So, Veronica Mars :)
10. Are the protagonists of 2 (BtVS) and 4 (Lost) similar?
....not really. At all. Like, almost none of them, except maybe Jack and Buffy, who are both - hey! - whiny and self-righteous.
ETA: My interests explained!
corellianjedi:
11/11 - That's a Lord of the Rings one, that is. In 2004, Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won all 11 of the 11 Oscars it was up for. It's tied with Titanic and Ben Hur for the most Oscars ever, and they didn't manage to get every one they were nominated for. That was the best night, I was so happy.
charolastras - 'Charolastra' means 'star cowboy' in Spanish, it's what Julio (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Tenoch (Diego Luna) call themselves in Y Tu Mama Tambien.
disapproving mom stance
This is the Disapproving Mom Stance, being modelled by Piz. Desmond Fellows mostly brings the Disapproving Mom out in him. It's SO CUTE, and a term coined and pretty much only used by me in the Team Piz Week spam of DOOOOOM.
dom's cold nose
This is ENTIRELYack_attack's FAULT. I was like 'this is one of my favourite photos of Dom EVER, because hello, shirtlesss with baby!' and Rachel was all 'every time I see that picture I think his nose must be really cold on the baby's head' and now IT'S ALL I CAN SEE. The shirtless and the baby and the adorable pale in comparison to his COLD NOSE, to the point where, when I met him and it was freezing cold outside and he was RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME I thought HIS NOSE MUST BE COLD.
ianto's stopwatch - Torchwood reference. Ianto was given a stopwatch to time how long people could be resurrected for in 'They Keep Killing Suzie' and, at the end of the episode, flirted with Jack by suggesting that there were filthy things they could do utilising said stopwatch. It must be a hell of an exciting stopwatch.
naked sean maher - I'd've thought more people would have this as an interest, because, HELLO?
tahmoh penikett's ears - He has the CUTEST LITTLE ELF EARS.
See? They're all pointy at the top and delicate and so not in keeping with the rest of him. It's ADORABLE!
subtle__sarcasm:
tango/foxtrot - All the dolls (Actives) in Dollhouse are named for the phonetic alphabet - Echo, Victor, Sierra, November - and I saw someone say 'who's up for shipping Tango/Foxtrot?' and thought it was hilarious. Thus, an interest was born!
the chaser - The Chaser is an Australian comedy troupe that started out writing a student newspaper satirising current events and ended up with several TV shows - CNNNN, The Chaser's War on Everything - and are currently doing a tour around Australia. They sometimes go way too far - two members of the team and some crew were arrested at APEC for getting past security dressed as Bin Laden - but they're also hilariously funny. In Australia we always need at least one comedian lampooning our government. Plus, boykissing!
spicks & specks - Probably the only other Australian interest in the list, Spicks & Specks is a music quiz show. It's the Australian 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks', essentially. Celebrity guests tell anecdotes and jokes and guess the answers to questions about music. The host is a hottie and the show's really cute and fun. Plus, boykissing!
(This is the best thing that ever happened, though.)
jack nasty - There's a line from Brokeback Mountain that poor Michelle Williams has to say that's the worst and most unintentionally funny moment in the movie, after she's found out about Ennis seeing Jack: 'Jack Twist? Jack NASTY!' They talked about it on Oprah, how it was sort of a running joke behind the scenes and they were going to (or did?) make Jake a hat saying 'Jack Nasty'. Later in the interview Oprah was asking about Heath getting all the accolades and Jake was saying that no matter what, if Heath won he'd be in the audience applauding and saying 'JACK NASTY LOVES YOU!' See icon.
hans jensen - Another Lord of the Rings one! This is from an easter egg on the Return of the King extended DVD, in which Elijah Wood is interviewed by who he thinks is a real German journalist, but is in fact Dominic Monaghan creating brilliant, wonderful comedy. See it here.
entwashian:
cheese - uh, I'd've thought this was fairly self-explanatory. It doesn't get much more complicated. I like cheese. Especially brie. It's good.
joss is god - again, not terribly complicated: Joss is God. There is no other explanation for his awesome brain and mad writing/directing/existing skillz. He's intelligent and funny, and his shows are the best on the box.
monty python - who doesn't love Monty Python? They're hilarious. I know most people like Life of Brian best, but I prefer Holy Grail. And this one sketch where a guy's hiding behind bushes and they blow them up, I thought that was the funniest thing ever.
save the cheerleader - save the world! Just writing 'Heroes' as an interest doesn't really work for me, because people could have an interest in other heroes, but 'save the cheerleader' is nice and specific and a wonderful catchphrase for the show.
shakespeare - I was pretty much the only person in my class who LOOOOVED Shakespeare. I mostly understood what was going on, but even when I didn't the language is so wonderfully evocative and pretty, and most of the stories are eternal. Even the crappier stories are beautifully written. He's like the Elizabethan Joss Whedon :D
some like it hot - BEST COMEDY EVER. I love this movie so much it hurts. I love the way Marilyn Monroe pouts her way through, and Tony Curtis makes a weirdly convincing woman, and Jack Lemmon gets more and more into his Daphne character. The chase scene at the end is brilliant, but the best part is the last line. A real classic.
the piz dance
GREATEST MOMENT OF TELEVISION EVER.
Frommelissajane14
a:ts - stands for Angel: The Series. Makes more sense than just writing 'angel' as an interest. I only really liked seasons 1 and 5 of Angel, though I've been meaning to go back to it. I just can't take the clusterfuck that is season 4.
big damn heroes - there's an episode of Firefly where Mal says to Zoe 'what does that make us?' and she replies 'big damn heroes, sir'. It became fanspeak for the main characters of Firefly, often shortened to BDH. It's so prevelant that Joss referred to the movie as the Big Damn Movie, or BDM. Ain't they just?
Apparently, it's now also a trope. Who knew?
frakkin toasters - on Battlestar Galactica, 'frak' is the substitute word for 'fuck' or pretty much any other swear word (though it's definitely fuck, because they use it in place of the word sex.) They refer to the cylons as 'toasters'. This one's a double meaning, it can either mean that the cylons are bad or that you want to jump their bones. Both are more or less accurate in my case.
jears - lol,ack_attack coined this one, and it's everywhere now. It's the Jack/Tears ship, or a word for Jack's tears, because Jack cries ALL THE TIME. ALL. THE. TIME. Every one of his flashback episodes, and pretty much anything bad or good happens, even if it's relatively minor.
zoe alleyne - this is Zoe from Firefly's maiden name, or original name, before they made it so she took Wash's last name. I like the idea of her keeping her name better.
helo - yes, Helo is Tahmoh's character on BSG. He's my faaaavourite. He's the fleet's conscience.
WTF, Rachel, stop creating my interests. Also, if there's any more interests anybody wants explained, ask away!
