chickenJumping like a sheep -- BAAAA -- onto the TV Meme bandwagon ...
01. Post a list of 10 TV shows you love (current or canceled!)
02. Have your friends list guess your favorite CHARACTER from each show
03. When guessed bold the line and write a sentence about why you like that character
04. Post in your own livejournal
01. Firefly - Kaylee (guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
keever). A very well-written, witty, strong female character. Zoe is a close second. Both very gorgeous actors. But Kaylee's humor and intelligence are a little more subtle, and thus more likeable.
02. Angel - Lorne (guessed byalice23kate). Funny, green, and oh so gay. And boy can Andy sing!
03. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Andrew (guessed bywickedprincess3). Only the funniest geekboy ever. And with oven mitts and a hard-on for Xander and Spike. Need we say more? Faith is a close second, because, HOT. But Andrew was my first major fandom obsession, so he stays #1 by just a pinch.
04. Wonderfalls - Jaye (guessed by no one). I love the way she's forced to think better of herself over the course of the eps, the way she starts makes decisions to help people above and beyond the instructions, so to speak. She also gets the funniest lines, and Caroline's comic timing is brilliant. Plus, "slacker ivy league graduate" is a favorite aspiration of mine. But also, none of the other characters really had time to develop fully -- curse Fox for cancelling this wonderful show!
05. The O.C. - Seth (guessed byzandra_x). Ah, his self-deprecating humor, show meta-humor, and comic book love all contribute to this obvious choice. Again with the emerging pattern. Yes.
06. Smallville - Lex (guessed bythe_automatik). Just because he doesn't actually want to be evil, but tends toward it anyway, and because his obvious care for Clark often leads him down very interesting roads.
07. Alias - Irina or Marshall (guessed bykeever). I really hate the idea of a tie, but I just can't break it in this case. I have to have Marshall as my favorite because he fulfills my pattern (nerdy, insecure, funny), but the hotness of Lena Olin tends to triumph over all other considerations. Well, also because her character is so interesting, and because Irina's manipulations and emotional trickery are so nuanced in the hands of such a talent as Lena Olin. So I just have to have them both as my favorites. ARGH!
08. Roswell - Michael (guessed byalice23kate). I really wanted to say Isabel, because Katherine Heigl's sheer beauty almost triumphs over all other considerations. However, Michael's constant rebellions against the group are just too interesting -- his broody loner mystique gives him a slight edge.
09. Queer As Folk (U.K.) - Vince (guessed bywickedprincess3). Stuart is too obvious, whereas Vince fulfills my constant desire for a Mary Sue -- a nerdy sci fi geek with a sense of humor. Do we sense a pattern?
10. The L Word - Alice (guessed bykarenor). All the other characters just feel too stereotypical for my taste (with the exception of Tina, who is a close second). Alice feels like a real character, untarnished by writers' weird stereotypes. She's quirky, funny, a great flirter, and she says exactly what she thinks. "Sardonic" is a good word karenor used to describe Alice.

Date: 2005-04-07 09:17 pm (UTC)Faith is my second-favorite BtVS character, though, so kudos anyway. :-)

I don't even know the names of the characters for the others (well, I do know some Firefly names, but have never seen it), so I can't even hazard wild guesses.
(no subject)
Date: 2005-04-07 09:29 pm (UTC)Your number one favorite on Buffy is Andrew. Your number two is Anya.
Wild guessing again.
Uhmmmmm. Justine is your favorite on Angel?
I'm claiming do overs!
(no subject)
Date: 2005-04-07 09:54 pm (UTC)FYI, I friended you due to a certain Andrew allegiance, what with the Yahoo groups and Funnel Cakes and all that, so I thought you'd get that sooner. :-) But you still beat everyone else by a few minutes.

Date: 2005-04-07 09:57 pm (UTC)Sadly,
Justine is my second-favorite Angel character. Tough call!
(no subject)
Date: 2005-04-07 10:00 pm (UTC)Oh. My. God. Lorne is your favorite character on Angel, right?
I'm just going to keep guessing until I name everyone.
Guess who my favorite character on Angel is????? Can you guess??? Hee?

Date: 2005-04-07 10:30 pm (UTC)2. Lilah
3. Tara

8. I always liked Michael a lot, too, although if forced to pick, I'd have to say Max.
9. Vince
10. Tina

Date: 2005-04-07 11:33 pm (UTC)No on 2, 3, 6, 7. Although I do adore Lilah. She's probably in my top three favorite Angel characters. I'm curious why Max instead of Michael? That's very interesting.
9 - Vince, yes.
10. - No, although very good, because she's my #2 (only just barely, it was a tough choice).

Date: 2005-04-07 11:38 pm (UTC)And sometimes I get both in one character, as with Angel.

Date: 2005-04-08 02:20 pm (UTC)Is your favorite character on Smallville that blonde chick? Is her name Chloe? Clark scares me. I don't like his looks. He's toooooooooo pretty. Skery.

Date: 2005-04-08 02:31 pm (UTC)I think Clark might be the Bunny's favorite one, just because of those pretty eyelashes. :)
