TV Show Meme

[darkdreamer]

Name your top six TV shows before readiing the questions, then answer the questions accordingly:

My six are:

1. House
2. Dexter
3. Ugly Betty
4. Law and Order: SVU
5. Buffy the Vampire Slayer
6. Angel


1.) Who is your favorite character from #2? (Dexter)
     Dexter, of course :P

2.) Who is your least favorite character from #4? (SVU)
     Finn (Ice T's character) honestly, I don't really think the guy can act all that well :P lol

3.) What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include? (House and Buffy)
     oooooh, I've actually read some wonderful crossover fic with these two fandoms!!! hehe... I think it would rooock!!!!

4.) Who is your favorite ship from #6? (Angel)
     It was only there for like a minute (sigh) but I looooved Wes/Fred *tear*

5.) If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #6 on a blind date, who would they be? (Ugly Betty and Angel)
     Hmm... this one is tricky... I really can't think of anyone that would be that well matched, but it'd be interesting to see how things might work out between Hilda and Lindsay. Two beautiful people, and maybe her soft sweetness and vulnerability (combined with the feistiness to hold his interest) might pull him back toward the good side :P hehe

6.) If you could meet one person from #4 and spend the day with them, who would it be and what would you do? (SVU)
     Elliott, no doubt. Oh, did I mention, in my fantasy world, he's single? And also, in my fantasy world, he'd want me :P hehehe... We'd spend the day locked away in my bedroom and doing... *lots* of interesting stuff ;) hehe

7.) If you could change one thing about #2's plotline, what would you change? (Dexter)
     Well, honestly, I love it as it is. Like, I'm dying with suspense right now, and for my watching pleasure, don't want anything changed. For the well being of the characters, on the other hand... lol... right now just about every episode has me screaming at my screen, "Noooooo, Dexter!!! No!!!! Don't trust him, don't tell him that, don't put your faith in someone for the first time in your life when I *KNOW* he's gonna turn out to be a hundred times worse than you are and ruin you for all other possible friendships!!!" :P LOL

8.) Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5 and why you like the relationship between them. (Buffy)
     I love a lot of relationships in this show, but one that stands out for me is the relationship between Dawn and Spike. I love how he's always there to protect her, and how she feels she can be herself around him. Their friendship has always appealed to me in writing fic.

9.) If the lead title characters (first names in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be? (House and Ugly Betty)
     Sorry, Betty, but you're a resourceful girl; I bet you could find a way out hehehe... House is crippled, he'd need my help more................................... WHAT????

10.) If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose? (SVU)
    Um... I really don't get why this would be so significant. I guess most my shows, I think they did it right the first time :P hehehe... I like the credits as they are :P

11.) If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline of #6, what would the character be like, and what would their role be? (Angel)
     I'd add in an interesting, sexy female character whose role would be to become involved with Spike in a *healthy*, *loving* relationship. After 7 seasons of torment and heartbreak, he deserves someone who'd actually love him and treat him like a person :P

12.) What happens in your favorite episode of show #2? (Dexter)
     Hmmm... the finale of Season 2 was pretty awesome. I also love the ep where Dexter kills the two human traffickers, and realizes that he can actually love and make it work with Rita. :P

13.) If you could kill off one of the characters in #1, who would it be and how would you do it? (House)
     There's none that I really hate, not among the main cast. I'd have to say Cameron, though. She's just a little too judgmental and self-righteous for my taste -- not to mention the whole stalker vibe :P lol

14.) If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose? (Ugly Betty, Buffy)
     Sooooo Buffy. I love Ugly Betty, but the set would be sooooo much more interesting for Buffy. :P

15.) If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person would it be?
     Mmmmm.... so many options. :) House and Wilson both, of course... and Dexter, he's a *hot* little serial killer; hehehe... and Elliott from SVU... and of course Spike... and also Wes... so many hotties!!! Gaaaaah, can't.... chooose.... *dies*

Wes/Fred!!!!! <3
Definitely needed more Dawn and Spike buddy stuff.

Hee hee to question 11. :D

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

heheheh... didn't he deserve so much better than what he got, though? honestly, by the end of season 7 i wanted him to blow buffy off and forget her, cause i didn't think she deserved him anymore :P lol...

*hugs*

You've seen my fanfic! lol

Yeah, I'm definitely one of the Spuffies that wants it because Spike wants it, not because I think Buffy is the best girl for him. :D

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

yeah, totally... i've never put spike with an oc, but that's just cause i'm not good at writing oc's (and are you kidding, love? of *course* i've read your fic!!!! i *love* the one where you gave spike that really sweet friend-turned-girlfriend that i adored, though i can't remember her name)

but yeah, he deserves far better than buffy... which i showed in my fics by villainizing her, and having him *not* forgive her for it hehehehehehe

[kimrae1977.livejournal.com]

*g* speaking of which, I take the oppurtunity to nudge you about White Magic.

That was Corinne, from An Offer of Hope.

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

YES!!! that's it, i couldn't remember, but i looooooved that fic... i marvelled at how full of a character you made her... i felt like i knew her, and that almost never happens with OC's for me :P hehe...

and yeah, hon, i've actually started getting more into buffy stuff again (rereading fics to see where i'm at, watching eps again) so we'll see ;) no promises yet, but i may end up finding a balance between my two fandoms yet :P hehe

*hugs*

I used to like Fin more than I do now. He's become a bit one-note.

yeah, i kind of always thought he seemed a little flat ... and like.... ice-t was a rapper/musician first, and it kinda seems like maybe he just thought, 'i don't know, i'll try acting'... lol... and imho, it's not his thing :P hehe

[onceuponapillow.livejournal.com]

Yeah, um.....ELLIOT STABLER ROCKS!!!! *clears throat* Yeah, I wouldn't mind spending some alone time with that man.

Spike, House, Elliot, and Wesley. That's 4 guys we have in common ;)

I too love Spike/Dawn friendship. I was mad that it got pushed to the side.

And yeah, though I'm a diehard Spuffy shipper....Spike can do better.

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

hehehe... yep, we've clearly got a lot in common :P heheh

[zamaza.livejournal.com]

We watch all the same shows (or maybe I watch waaay to much TV?) Would have had them in a different order (not sure if Ugly Betty would have made it on mine... I really like "Reaper" a lot.)

I sadly read the questions and thought of similar answers before reading yours XD (I'm not fond of Ice T's character, Elliott in everyone's fantasy world is single) but your answer to number 9 had me dieing laughing. (I too would be saving House. Betty's entertaining and nice, and maybe she could save herself right? House needs us!)

Spike totally deserved some happiness. Hell, 90% of the characters in Joss's shows deserve SOME happiness. Maybe we can get Joss on antidepressants or something (then the shows would be boring?).

House is cute, funny, interesting, brilliant but I'd date Wilson. We have more in common. Plus House would make me seriously nervous. Wouldn't Dexter make you a bit nervous? Maybe if you didn't know... hmm...

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

never seen reaper, but judging by our similar tastes, i think i'd prolly like it ;) hehe

and yeah, joss has a tendency to be mean to his characters, but isn't it fun to watch?

yeah, i think if i *actually* dated house, i'd be constantly self-conscious and nervous beyond belief, yeah... but if i was dating dexter, it would mean i hadn't figured out his secret, for him to be willing to date me ;) heheh... therefore i wouldn't be nervous, because on the surface he's pretty much the perfect boyfriend :P hehehe

This is slightly randomly off topic, but your icon is highly distracting. Your journal top is bad enough (two sets of those gorgeous baby blues) but your icon is adorable. Do you ever get distracted by your own journal?

I'm hoping to get Dexter on DvD for Xmas. Unlike House (where I have seen every episode 3+ times) I've only seen each episode once so far.. Hard for me to remember things (also then I'd finally be able to show the show to friends).

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

pretty, isn't it? :) *beams* my wonderful friend tamakin (who's not even really all that into house) made both the banner and the icon for me :) hehe.. glad you like :)

and i'm the same way, only seen each dexter ep once... but i'm keeping up with this season, and i'm quite into it at the moment :P

*Hugs*

Tres Cool. Yes, spike does deserve a nice healthy relationship. And Dexter, I'm so with you on the shouting at him for trusting that guy.

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

yeah, have you seen the latest ep??? *zips lip til I know if it's safe to speak or not* ;) hehe

[swirlsofblue.livejournal.com]

I just saw the ep where Dexter tests the shirt for the blood, is that the last ep? That moment when I thought he was actually flipping out, was like OMG :).

I found the link to the fic you asked me for ( the one where spike kidnaps House and Wilson)

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

thanx, hon... i absolutely loved that story :P i noticed the last update was in january, you have any idea if the writer plans to finish it? :)

and yeah, you're up to date on dexter! :P so i can rant freely... hehehe...

i *KNEW* it!! I sooooo knew his trust was misplaced :P lol... and that's all i'll say :P

I've only seen 4 of these 6 shows, so can't comment on a lot of these.

Re #11 -- of course if it was a new character then, unless she was somehow exceptional, I have a feeling most of the audience would hate her (although probably moreso the women than the men, heh). I'd probably want a new female character to be there and get established apart from Spike for a few years, before putting them together. I've found romantic connections between characters are a lot more interesting if they've had the chance to develop apart first.

But yeah, wow, a lasting healthy relationship for him would have been something new. Actually, that'd probably be true for like, every character in the Jossverse.

Are you a closet Lindsey lover? :P

Fun meme! I might do it myself, just for my own curiosity.

[dreamsofspike.livejournal.com]

yeah, i agree with you, hon, it would have to be someone we'd already grown to know and love, since otherwise i'd prolly tend to be very suspicious of her and her motives ;) heheh...

and yeah, i loooove lindsay (not so much with the closet, though; i don't bother trying to hide it ;P) hehe he's my favorite from Angel i think :P

and yeah, this meme was awfully fun :)
