Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
1. Leverage
2. Haven
3. Babylon Five
4. Doctor Who
5. Blake's 7
01. Who's your favorite character in 2 (Haven)?
Audrey Parker, hands down. She's sarcastic and smart, and very self-assured when it comes to her job. She's also open to every possibility, and doesn't just assume it's the simplest solution. I <3 her a lot.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (Leverage)?
Nathan Ford. There's only so much ManPain I can take, and I wish he had less of the spotlight, as much as I like Tim Hutton.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4 (Doctor Who)?
Oh, fuck, I don't know. TimeoftheAngels/PandoricaOpens/Horns of the Nimon (shut up, I LOVE IT)/Warriors of the Deep/Fenric/Ghost Light/Battlefield/Blink/Armageddon Factor... ok, no, seriously, it's easier for me to say "well, Unearthly Child, The Daleks and Leisure Hive, and most of Nine/Ten sort of bore me" than to pick a favorite. Sheesh, people.
04. What's your favorite season of 5 (Blake's 7)?
Oh, dear, that's sort of unfair, because I love them all for different reasons. I suppose it's three, though, despite the lack of drive for everyone. Cally being the only freedom fighter left makes it a bit hard, and there's some painfully bad sexist fail in there (diaf, Jarvik). It at least let Cally, Servalan and Dayna have more of a role than sitting at the teleport controls to rescue everyone (though Jenna and Cally were quite adept at that. One assumes Blake never sent them as he was too afraid they'd solve the whole problem of the Federation without him)
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3 (Babylon Five)?
Um. Lyta/Susan. Though, I suppose my favorite is probably Delenn/Sheridan, with the caveat that I've no interest in fic at all. And I possibly ship Marcus/Susan/Talia/Lyta/G'Kar in various ways. And Lyta/Number One. And a bit of Number One/Stephen. And a slight side of Lise/Anybody who isn't Garibaldi, except her husband.
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2 (Haven)?
Duke/Nathan. I'm much more of an OT3er, for this show. Or Audrey/Olivia Dunham. (what?)
07. How long have you watched 1 (Leverage)?
Since the premiere.... two years, then?
08. How did you become interested in 3 (Babylon 5)?
Oh, god. I don't know? I resisted watching it for years, because I didn't need something else to be fannish about. But there was Susan Ivanova, and so I was sort of like, "hrm." And then my roommate got them via blockbuster, and we started watching... so, yeah. I was all over that, afterwards (I LIKE EPIC LEGENDS AND SPACE BATTLES AND WOMEN. Even if there is occasional fail and WE WILL NOT DISCUSS THE WHOLE LYTA STORYLINE FROM SEASON FIVE)
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4 (Doctor Who)?
...why are the hard ones going to Who? If you'd asked B5, or Leverage... even B7.... But, no. Doctor Who. I DO NOT KNOW. I'm really loving Karen Gillan and Matt Smith and Alex Kingston, but I also loved Lalla Ward and Mary Tamm and Peter Davison and Tom Baker and Colin and--like, srsly? I have to choose?
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 (Leverage), 2 (Haven) or 5 (Blake's 7)?
*ponders* Poor Haven doesn't even make the cut. But Leverage vs. Blake's 7? That's a little harder.
I have such nostalgic love for Blake's 7, that, despite the women not getting as much to do, I think it edges out Leverage? I mean, I've been watching B7 since Mom's friend Mimi's crush on Paul Darrow first meant she exposed me to it. So, y'know, a good 20 years.
Otoh, Leverage has its occasional fail, and I'm still waiting for a Hardison-focused episode.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 (Leverage) or 3 (Babylon Five)?
Babylon Five has five seasons, so, B5. If we're talking re-watching, I think Leverage might edge it out, there. But only just (dude, you CANNOT REWATCH JUST ONE B5 EPISODE. It doesn't work like that)
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Doctor Who), who would you be?
Choices, choices. Bernice Summerfield. as much as I <3 River and Amy and Ace and Mel and Jo and the Romanas... I want to be a time-traveling archeologist with an alcohol fetish.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1 (Leverage)?
...Tara takes out the terrorists under MI6's orders, and unfortunately blows herself up in the blast. ...or does she?
14. Give a random quote from 1 (Leverage).
"My name is Nathan Ford and I'm a thief." (it is possibly the one line that made me <3 Nate)
15. Which character from 5 (Blake's 7) would be a good guest star on 2 (Haven)?
Jan Chappel's Cally of Auron. It would be epic, and there would be telepathic and clone shenanigans and space battles, and Nathan doing that "this is my facepalm face, Audrey." a lot. (I can so totally dream)
16. Would a 3/4 (Babylon Five/Doctor Who) crossover work?
We are all Kosh.
No, really. It would be epic. Amy's antics would annoy Ivanova, but they'd also get alongand shoot things at some point and Lyta wouldn't be able to read Eleven, and would be all O.o and then G'Kar would drag him off for drinks while Delenn and Amy meditated, and Lennier and Rory and Marcus had a manly bonding moment with Vir
(Na'Toth crashes, towards the end).
At some point, River would flirt outrageously with Bester, as she's always loved a man in uniform.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (Leverage) that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
Maggie Collins/Tara Cole. It would be hot and Maggie would keep objecting to the cons and stealing things, and then Tara would point out something that would distract her.
18. Has 5 (Blake's 7) inspired you in any way?
OMGYES. I want to be a freedom fighter when I grow up and wear boots and shoot things. And blow things up and fly fantastic spaceships. Because as I child, I didn't sweat the small stuff, like Jenna and Cally being left behind. As far as I was concerned, they were awesome and did everything.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 (Haven) or 4 (Doctor Who)?
That's, again, sort of unfair to Haven. As, well, despite some issues, Doctor Who has a much wider base to choose from. And Smith is sort of blowing it out of the park, every episode while Haven, is, well, it's on Skiffy, and loooovely Vancouver is decent, but not stellar.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 (Leverage) or 5 (Blake's 7)?
As much as I <3 B7, Leverage's music is so bouncy and fun. =D

14. "My name is Nathan Ford and I'm a thief." I feel exactly the same about that line.
16. <3<3<3
And I'll definitely be interested to see more Lyta when I get into B5 again. But not the apparent future fail part, *sigh*.
