[sinfulslasher]

Since I know that there will be enough folks who will pick the obvious *g* I'm going to go with something different. *g*

NCIS!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Hmmm interesting. I've been watching that show for quite some time but never really felt fannish about it.

- The first character I fell in love with: probably Abby
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Jackson Gibbs
- The character who I do not understand: Ziva
- The character that I think the show ruined: Well, I think they're all stuck in their old selves and the show shouldn't be afraid to go forward. Though I have to say, the episode where Gibbs covered for his mother-in-law and arrested someone who he knew wasn't the murderer ruined Gibbs a little for me.
- The most attractive male and female character: I loved Mark Harmon in the early seasons. I wish he'd smile more now. Tony isn't bad either. :-)
- The character death that was the worst for me: Mrs Vance. Oh my god I was getting annoyed that the season was boring and BAM. I mean, Mrs Vance! This is the kind of character that seem secondary enough to be safe!
- The character that is the most like me: Oh wow, they're all too screwed up to be like me. McGee maybe.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Gibbs, definitely. Also Tony and Abby.
- The character that I just want to be happy: LOL ALL of them! what a question... Would anyone want someone not to be happy, really?
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Jackson Gibbs, the new girl, Abby, McGee.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Mike Francks, Eli David, not a big fan of Vance either. Hmmm can't come up with a fourth one. La Grenouille maybe. But that's more the whole storyline than the character per se. And I still love how they couldn't pronounce "grenouille". Why on Earth did they pick such a hard word to pronounce?!

[sinfulslasher]

Interesting! Love your answers, and agree with most of them. :D

JACKSON!!! *sniffles*

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Yes, I really loved him and Ralph was so awesome. That first episode where he appears is probably my favorite.

Did you know I had made a vid on the Gibbs(es)?

(if it's blocked I can send it to you. Depending on youtube's mood it's available or not...)

[sinfulslasher]

Heartland!!! One of my all-time faves. ♥

The vid is geo-blocked. *sadface*

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Damn, I'll send it to you.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Crap I just realized I totally forgot Fornell! To be added to my list of favorite characters!

[sinfulslasher]

I ♥ Fornell!!! :D

[leesa_perrie]

Someone needs to write a crossover with WC that is solely Fornell coming to New York for 'reason'! Would love to read Fornell, Peter and Neal's reactions to each other, lol!! :)

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

totally!
I can see Fornell teasing Peter about his little prison stay, and Peter teasing back about Fornell getting shot in the butt. ^^

[leesa_perrie]

LOL! Yes, that'd be perfect! :) :)

[dennih23.livejournal.com]

Let's try Castle.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

- The first character I fell in love with: Castle
- The character who is my ‘baby’: I don't really have a "baby" on that show, but I think that'd still be Castle
- The character who I do not understand: Alexis lately...
- The character that I think the show ruined: I don't really see one, yet. ;-)
- The most attractive male and female character: hmmm dunno. Ryan maybe?
- The character death that was the worst for me: Not that many important deaths on the show. I'll go with Montgomery
- The character that is the most like me: Ah good question... Ryan?
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Castle hands down. Also Martha
- The character that I just want to be happy: All of them, doh.
- My four favorite characters, past or present:Castle, Espo, Ryan, Martha.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Is there anyone I actually dislike on that show? Can't think of anyone. Well, I'd say anyone involved in the murder of Beckett's mother. Don't really care for that story, so all those killers and dirty people are just annoying.

I really want to hear your views on ... White Collar. Surprise! But if others request our beloved series, how about --- The Blacklist?

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I don't watch The Blacklist so go for White Collar. :-)


- The first character I fell in love with: unexpectedly, Peter (truly I wasn't expecting to fall for the cop)
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Peter, obviously. :-)
- The character who I do not understand: There have been a couple times where I didn't understand Neal, but otherwise, James. That one... *rolls eyes*
- The character that I think the show ruined: I don't know. Has a show ruined a character? I like what the show did with most of the characters.
- The most attractive male and female character: Peter, Neal, El, Maya... Everyone is so good looking in that show!
- The character death that was the worst for me: Siegel! I'm not sure I've recovered yet. But when you think of it, the death toll is quite impressive for a "non-violent crimes" show, huh? And they've all been quite schocking to be honest. Kate, Ellen, Hagen...
- The character that is the most like me: Peter
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Neal and Peter equally, which I'm really pleased about. And Mozzie!
- The character that I just want to be happy: EVERYONE!
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Peter, Neal, Mozzie, El and everyone.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: James, Callaway, Pratt. Can't think of a fourth

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

Hmm I wonder Agents of SHIELD :D

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I don't watch, try again. ;-)

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

awww, oh hey I know "Crossing Lines"!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

:-/ I have only seen the first 2 (maybe 3?) episodes, and I didn't really like anyone...
How about House, Sherlock, NCIS LA, ER, Fargo, The Americans, The Good Wife, Carnivale, In Treatment, CSI, TBBT, Almost Human, Real Human, Zorro?
ETA: also Person of Interest and Rizzoli and Isles.

[nieseryjna.livejournal.com]

muchaha you don't make things easy! but Person of Interest!

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry!!! /o\ But I need to know and appreciate the shows a minimum to play... otherwise it'd be boring "I don't like anyone"...

So PoI, interesting because I'm relatively new to it.

- The first character I fell in love with: That's interesting because I DIDN'T fall in love with anyone. It took me some time to warm up to the characters.
- The character who is my ‘baby’: So no "baby" for me but I like the bound between Reese and Finch.
- The character who I do not understand: I'm not sure I actually understand anyone LOL especially Finch. The more we go into his past the less I get it... (I'm at season 2)
- The character that I think the show ruined: No one. Yet, still a young show.
- The most attractive male and female character: I do like Reese.
- The character death that was the worst for me: None that I can think of.
- The character that is the most like me: oh god, I'd be worried if any of them were like me! The lady cop is still the closest I guess. The most honest of the bunch.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Finch.
- The character that I just want to be happy: All of them, even if they're no angels.
- My four favorite characters, past or present: I don't know if I really have favorites. I like the 2 cops.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: I don't like the girls from Reese's past. I can't make one from the others, and the one that thinks the machine is a person...

You can pick another from the list - if you want - to make up for me being difficult.

[leesa_perrie]

Ever watched Stargate Atlantis, or SG1, SGU? If not, maybe Hawaii 5 O?

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Never watched SG, but I occasionally watch H50, so let's try that one.

- The first character I fell in love with: Hawaii
- The character who is my ‘baby’: no one.
- The character who I do not understand: Kono (watching out of order and missing things here and there doesn't help)
- The character that I think the show ruined: Turk Malloy from Ocean's Eleven LOL
- The most attractive male and female character: I'm not attracted to anyone in particular. I guess McGarrett isn't ugly...
- The character death that was the worst for me: did anyone die?
- The character that is the most like me: Can't think of anyone like me.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: McGarrett and Danny
- The character that I just want to be happy: I don't really care, but I don't wish anyone not to be happy!
- My four favorite characters, past or present: The big guy, can't remember his name. And Danny
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Not found of McGarrett.

[leesa_perrie]

LOL! Yes, I'm not a big Steve fan myself. I like it when he and Danny banter, but sometimes he gets on my nerves a bit!

Did anyone die? Steve's dad in the first episode... and then a woman they brought in for a while whose name escapes me.

I like the big guy too, and the ME (the one who played Hiro in Heroes). I really like his geekiness and quirkiness!

There have been many times when I've thought that I've had it with the show, and then I try another episode and it's not so bad! Honestly, I've no idea why I keep watching it. It's not the best written thing out there! But I keep on going back... *shrugs*

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Same for me with NCIS. H50, like a couple of those classic procedurals, I watch when I have nothing better to do. And precisely tonight there's H50 on TV...

[sheenianni.livejournal.com]

You mentioned House above, so how about that?

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Ah good one! I used to be a big fan of House (not on a WC-level, but still big fan) though I felt it really went downhill around season 5

- The first character I fell in love with: Wilson
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Wilson
- The character who I do not understand: House!
- The character that I think the show ruined: hmmm I'd say Cuddy, or more precisely the Cuddy/House relationship, when it got serious to finally go nowhere.
- The most attractive male and female character: Wilson and Chase. And probably Thirteen for female character.
- The character death that was the worst for me: Oh wow Amber! House's Head and Wilson's Heart are probably the best episodes of the series. Awesome finale, though it kinda ruined the House-Wilson for the next season.
Kutner's death was a big shock too.
- The character that is the most like me: I believe they're all way too ambitious and career-driven to be like me.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: I honestly don't know.
- The character that I just want to be happy: House, and everyone else.
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Wilson, Cuddy in early seasons, Kutner, House's detox partner.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Taub, the cop that had a grudge with House in season 2, Thirteen (very annoying in the last seasons she was in), Foreman.

Speaking of Foreman, did you watch ER during the early seasons? The guy who played Foreman was playing an intern in ER that killed himself in a very horrible way. Seeing him again all those years later - lab coat and stethoscope included - was such a shock!

[sheenianni.livejournal.com]

Interesting :)

I only watched the first five seasons and then season 8, so I can't really tell about House/Cuddy... I know what you mean about Amber.

I never really got that much into House myself, but it wasn't a bad show. I did like the Season 8 finale with Wilson and House driving away.

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

LOL perfect strategy, season 6 and 7 were terrible. You didn't miss anything. I did find season 8 was better and a little more in the same spirit as the earlier seasons.
I found it was kind of too cliché to have the cancer doctor having cancer, but it was handled well and it did rekindle the old House/Wilson dynamic. And as that was my favorite relationship on the show, I was very happy they ended it on a high note (sorta). :-)
So, yeah, I found that ending satisfying.

[eldorah.livejournal.com]

Hmm, fun meme! Have you ever watched Sherlock?

[aragarna.livejournal.com]

Yes! That's actually the only show that could make up for the end of White Collar, if only it had more episodes per year! This is the other best bromance.

- The first character I fell in love with: I love both Sherlock and Watson, but I have a soft spot for Sherlock, probably because of Benedict Cumberbatch.
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Sherlock, but Watson too.
- The character who I do not understand: the cop that didn't like Sherlock and suddenly became his bigger fan... Anderson?
- The character that I think the show ruined: Well, Anderson a little.
- The most attractive male and female character: Sherlock. ;-)
- The character death that was the worst for me: LOL does Sherlock's count?
- The character that is the most like me: Molly probably
- The character I think the writer(s) love: Sherlock. Also Moriarty.
- The character that I just want to be happy: all of the good guys.
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Sherlock, Watson, Moriarty, Mrs Hudson.
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: Anderson, and CAM.
