castalieBecause it's 3.50 am and instead of being asleep I'm comment-chatting with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
babycakesin and because she asked and I always obey her every command always grant my alpha's wishes am just that nice, I'm doing the TV meme that has been done by just everyone else.
a. Post a list of 10 TV shows you watch (current or cancelled!)
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite CHARACTER from each show
c. When guessed, tell us why you like that character
I know everyone will be waiting for those, so let's get that out of the way - actually, let's say I'm dividing the meme into three categories:
Category #1 aka It's a Matter of Speed aka It's a Matter of Who Will Get Here First:
1- Stargate SG-1 - Danielwho else [guessed by, well, everyone who played] : he's a genius, you'll see that it usually is a good reason for me to pick a character. So he's a genius, he has one hell of an angsty childhood and that usually counts too, he's sweet and geeky and strong and infuriating and obnoxious all at the same time, he isn't narrow-minded and always tries to reach out to people and respect other cultures and does't believe his way is the only way just because he was born in the US on Earth. And he happens to be, like, the prettiest man on the planet, too. Hey, I can be shallow too.
2- The Sentinel - Blairof course [guessed by everyone too. You made me so proud with those two answers, guys *wipes tears*]: he's uber-smart as well and geeky to the core. He's sweet and bouncy and talks a mile a minute and I think he's the perfect beta to Jim's alpha, he can be pushy and never really lets Jim intimidate him and that's pretty impressive when you know the big guy... he knows what frienship is about and was able to make sacrifice after sacrifice for the man he loves his best friend and I respect that character a lot.
3- Numb3rs - Charlie [guessed bystarwatcher307 and babycakesin, you'll find her name pretty much all over the place lol]: he's a genius. Yes again. He's a really fascinating character who seems to live in his own head though he's not that bad at interacting with RL either, he just sees things differently and following him is a wonderful ride. He's also insecure and needy and always wants to do good for Don and I also love his relationship with his brother and his father. It's like a whole package, really...
4- Lost - Charlie [guessed byzanzou_chan, maaaaa and babycakesin]: he's a woobie! He's the cutest thing ever! He's needy and insecure too and he has brother issue and he was a junkie and he gave some niiiiice storylines and he's just plain sweet and has with Hurley some of my favourite lines in the show *hugs Charlie*
41/2- Battlestar Galactica 2003 - Apollo [guessed bysori1773 and x5_536]: I was going to say because he's Jamie Bamber OMG but I realised it wasn't exactly constructive so I'll go with Daddy issues! He wants to be loved by his dad but doesn't know how to reach out to him anymore and when he does it's awkward and almost painful but all the more beautiful and because he needs reassurance that Daddy loves him and he breaks my heart! He angsts beautifully and he also can have his ass kicked by Starbuck, which is just sweet.
Category #2 aka Okay So Maybe They're Not That Obvious But Still A Little, Anyway, Or You Know, A Lot:
5- QAF US - Michael [guessed bymaaaaa, babycakesin and x5_536]: he's so fucking cute and sweet that he's killing me. Sometimes it feels like everyone in the fandom thinks he's weak and pathetic and this doesn't compute with me because that's not the Michael I see at all. Look at his family, at his best friend, at what he went through and all the thing he accomplished - that's not a weak and pathetic character to me and never will be. I love Michael.
5b- QAF UK - Vince [guessed byx5_536]: he's a geek and I recognise myself a lot in his obsessive compulsiveness re Dr Who. He's also pretty stubborn under his sweetness because you'd need to be to be Stuart Allan Jones' best friend.
6- X-Files - Mulder [guessed bystalecorruption and babycakesin]: he's a genius. His mind is a scary but fascinating place. He's so fucking dedicated and he believes in what he does and he never cares what others might think of him. He's true to himself and his quest and that demands a lot of strength, I've always admired his character. He also has daddy issue and he's been beaten so many times that I can't even begin to count and that's nice too *nodnod*
7- Quantum Leap - Sam [guessed byzanzou_chan, maaaaa and babycakesin]: this won't come out as a surprise, he's a fucking genius. Like the genius to end all geniuses. He took insane risks to prove his theory was right and he paid for it and just for that, I can't not love him. He's a wonderfully generous and respectful character who never looks down on people and always tries to do the right thing, and he feels things so deeply... he's just plain sweet, too. He had a perfect childhood which he lost and is desperately trying to regain and this too always broke my heart. He's also a wonderful friend.
Category #3 aka But I Can Still Surprisesome of You:
8- The Big Valley [I talked about that one once in my almost-two-years on LJ and I'm going back to a time when I was maybe seven years old, but I needed to spice that meme a little, so there] - Heath [guessed bystarwatcher307 and babycakesin]: he's the illigetimate son of Mr Barkley! Nick hated him at first! Until he realised his quiet and reserved half-brother was actually someone he could count on and love and they became best friends of course. I just love Heath to pieces. He had a difficult chidhood and had to do hard and painful jobs to survive and he was such an angry young man until Victoria welcomed him in her home and gave him a new family and wow, that woman was one hell of a lady...
9- Fruits Basket - Yuki [guessed bybabycakesin]: he's damaged! Akito abused him and when he tried to reach out to his brother for help, he was rejected and to this day he carries the scars of that time. Poor baby!
10- Yami no Matsuei - Tsuzuki [guessed byzanzou_chan]: he's damaged too, damaged by a past he can't forget nor come to terms with it, and it's still haunting after all this time. He also feels thing really deeply and can get emotionally hurt easily and even though his task kills him a little more each time [which doesn't mean a lot considering he's a shinigami but whatever] but he keeps going on and going and you just ache for him a lot. Also, he's cuter than cute and so sweet you just want to pet him and comfort him all the time.
