I meme therefore I am... a sheep.

Because it's 3.50 am and instead of being asleep I'm comment-chatting with 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 - Daniel who else [guessed by, well, everyone who played] : ( because )

2- The Sentinel - Blair of course [guessed by everyone too. You made me so proud with those two answers, guys *wipes tears*]: ( because )

3- Numb3rs - Charlie [guessed by starwatcher307 and babycakesin, you'll find her name pretty much all over the place lol]: ( because )

4- Lost - Charlie [guessed by zanzou_chan, maaaaa and babycakesin]: ( because )

41/2- Battlestar Galactica 2003 - Apollo [guessed by sori1773 and x5_536]: ( because )

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 by maaaaa, babycakesin and x5_536]: ( because )

5b- QAF UK - Vince [guessed by x5_536]: ( because )

6- X-Files - Mulder [guessed by stalecorruption and babycakesin]: ( because )

7- Quantum Leap - Sam [guessed by zanzou_chan, maaaaa and babycakesin]: ( because )

Category #3 aka But I Can Still Surprise some 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 by starwatcher307 and babycakesin]: ( because )

9- Fruits Basket - Yuki [guessed by babycakesin]: ( because )

10- Yami no Matsuei - Tsuzuki [guessed by zanzou_chan]: ( because )

So that was Doctor Who, huh?

After seeing one too many Doctor Who squeeing post, I decided to give that new series a shot and finally see for myself what the fuss was about. So I downloaded "The Unquiet Dead" and... well, I wasn't exactly enthralled, I'm afraid. I mean, from what I heard I was ready to hide behind my sofa or something. Isn't that series supposed to be freaky and scary? Sadly, that's not what I saw at all. And I wasn't expecting to be blown away btw, so it's not as if I had set my expectations too high either. Also I'd heard everywhere on my flist how Billie Piper had improved as an actress and obviously I didn't know her from Adam but you mean to tell me that this is the improved version? I thought there was something off with her...

But I'm not giving up on DW nor on Rose and I'm willing to give it another chance because sometimes you see the light after more than an episode so I'm downloading the pilot this time. Maybe if I start at the beginning of the new series, it'll give me another perspective. Also, I'm telling myself that when you know nothing about Doctor Who-verse, you might need a little more time to get into it.

Because the extent of my knowledge regarding DW? Is the following:

Tom Baker.
Paul McGann doesn't count.
K9, which makes a shiny 30th birthday present.

Watching Doctor Who didn't make a believer out of me but it sure made me want to watch my QAF UK DVDs again!

Also, DW fans out there? I have one or two questions. First, and not to play on words but who is the Doctor exactly? Or what? Is he a human from the future or an alien or... what? And why does he travel through time anyway? In Time Tunnel and Quantum Leap, Tom, Doug and Sam didn't exactly have a choice but what about the good ole Doctor?

Finally and without the slightest segue, here's a link to a post I thought was both brilliant and hilarious: getting into fandoms is like buying a car. Fans are my favourite people. They're crazy and sometimes damn annoying and petty but they also bring you little gems like this one - that was just plain sweet *g*
