Day 16 - Your guilty pleasure show
Day 17 - Favorite mini series
Day 18 - Favorite title sequence
Day 19 - Best TV show cast
Day 20 - Favorite kiss
Day 21 - Favorite ship
Ugh, this is hard - I invariably like ships in fanfic much more than onscreen because with the nature of TV, they tend to drag relationships out, give them artificial ups and downs to make things interesting. I like Brian/Justin from QAF because they made it through despite it not making sense from the outside looking in. I liked Agron/Nasir from Spartacus for defying my expectations because I was SURE that Nasir was going to die at any moment, making Agron go beserk with rage and kill a million Romans. Or vice versa, giving Nasir yet another character arc, BUT NO, THEY WERE THE ONLY COUPLE TO SURVIVE AND THEY WERE GAY, YOU GO SPARTACUS, FOUR FOR YOU.
Oh, Lynda/Spike from Press Gang! My first real exposure to a bad ass girl who could have feminine lovey dovey feelings and how her attraction to the 'Bad Boy' did not stop her from being who she was. SEE STEPHEN MOFFAT, YOU CAN WRITE WOMEN. LIKE, TWENTY YEARS AGO.
I like Merlin/Arthur, though I did wish that Arthur would stop calling Merlin an idiot when he clearly did not think so. I've decided that Merlin/Arthur is my favourite slash ship ever though - there's a sweetness and a romance to them that other ships just don't have.
Day 22 - Favorite series finale
It comes down to two. Merlin, for exceeding my very low expectations and just giving me exactly what I needed even though they killed off Arthur (I don't think I'll ever get over that). It was the best it could be, but that final season could have been amazing, and well.. it just wasn't.
The other is Spartacus, and well, that was an exercise in ALL THE FEELINGS and ALL THE SATISFACTION and ALL THE AMAZING ACTION and I've never come away from a series finale more satisfied.
Oh, bonus mention to the series finale of Roseanne, which knocked me off my feet. I was young at the time, I don't know whether the switcheroo would have had the same impact on me, now that I'm older and wiser, or whether I'd just think it was cheap and cheating. Look it up on Wikipedia, I can't possibly explain it.
Day 23 - Most annoying character
I cannot deal with Sue, or half the cast of Glee sometimes.
I could not deal with Morgana in that season where she was still in the castle and just smirking every single shot.
I don't know if T-Bag from Prisonbreak counts as annoying but he made me so uncomfortable watching him on screen, I just didn't watch.
Day 24 - Best quote
Oh, this is too hard. Pick a random one from Boy Meets World. Or the OC. Or Community!
Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)
Adventure Time! I've also made it 2 episodes into Breaking Bad, so we'll probably give that a go. Same with Boardwalk Empire. Not going to try Hannibal, even though that's all that's on my Tumblr dash lately. I can't do gore. Maybe Homeland, too. I have to watch TV with Adam, so that explains those choices.
Day 26 - OMG WTF? Season finale
Sherlock. Surely someone's worked out how he faked his death now. That's the problem with the big gap between seasons, nothing they come up with will be any better than the fan theories. And seriously, the way they got out of the end of Season 1 - what with Moriarty and the pool - EVERY FAN FIC WAS BETTER THAN THE CANON.
Day 27 - Best pilot episode
Glee was pretty damn good.
That first scene where Merlin meets Arthur in the pilot will always make me grin with glee.
I liked the Stargate pilot, bridging the gap between the movie and the show.
Day 28 - First TV show obsession
I liked a LOT of cartoons when I was younger, but my first real obsession where I had to buy merchandise etc was Beverley Hills 90210
Day 29 - Current TV show obsession
Elementary! Yes. You should watch it. Also excited for Teen Wolf to return, though I don't actually enjoy the show that much, I just want to see all their faces.
Day 30 - Saddest character death.
I bawled pretty hard at the end of Sherlock's Reichenbach Fall, even though Sherlock wasn't dead. I don't think I bawled that hard for any show ever. I've yet to come to grips with the fact that Arthur Pendragon died.
(saddest character death in the movies for me is Beth from Little Women. I JUST CANNOT DEAL WHEN CLAIRE DANES CRIES)
YES! FINISHED!

Date: 2013-05-29 01:43 pm (UTC)2. I love Boardwalk Empire and Homeland. Both great, great shows. I really like Hannibal, and I don't like gore. But the gore is really well done and visually appealing, so it is a little easier to handle.
3. Did you watch the Elementary season finale yet? I loved it.
Still mooring Dan's death...lol

Date: 2013-05-29 11:33 pm (UTC)Morgana and the smirking...ugh!
Boy meets World quotes...hee!
I've heard so much about Adventure Time and I'm very close to giving it a glance just for curiosity's sake. I plan on catching Breaking Bad soon.
Yeah, the resolution to Sherlock's series 1 finale was pretty lame.
Arthur and Merlin's first scene is one of my favorites of all time and I always smile watching it.
I think Beverly Hills, 90210 was one of the first primetime shows I got into hardcore as well.
Elementary is definitely my favorite new show of the season.
I can't even think about Arthur dying without wanting to cry.
Yay for finishing!
