Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them.

1. Chase
2. Lost Girl
3. Haven
4. Nikita
5. Sanctuary

1. Who's your favorite character in 2? (Lost Girl)

ooh. Hard one. I really like Bo a lot, though (it's, uh, the search for her mother I'm sort of bored by? But her bonding with Saskia = <3 <3 <3). I guess it's a toss-up between her and Kenzi?

2. Who's your least favorite character in 1? (Chase)

The fugitives. No, really, I like the team as a whole, so it's hard to pick. If I did, it would be that pre-prejudiced dislike of Jimmy as he's Johns the asshole bounty hunter from Pitch Black.

3. What's your favorite episode of 4? (Nikita)

1.9, less for the Michael stuff and more for the Jaden-having-a-plot stuff? Idk. I really liked the first Black Box episode, too. It's a little hard, as I've really enjoyed almost ALL of the episodes of Nikita this season.

4. What's your favorite season of 5? (Sanctuary)

Probably the webisodes. Or season one? I'm not sure, I like some of season two and season three isn't awful, and season one was sort of horrific at times.

5. Who is your favorite ship in 3? (Haven)

Audrey/Jess. It never happened and Jess only managed to be in three episodes, but. sigh.

6. Who is your anti-ship in 2? (Lost Girl)

Bo/Kenzi. I... have this issue with mentor/mentoree type things, and that one time Kenzi was jumping all over her in bed, while in text it sounded hot while watching it was like a five-year-old jumping on her mama's bed on Christmas morning. And the impression really hasn't changed. :/

7. How long have you watched 1? (Chase)

Three days. The power of the internets, bb.

8. How did you become interested in 3? (Haven)

Despite the promos looking sort of, well, awful, I knew it was about a female FBI agent investigating a small town where wackiness ensues. What wasn't to love about that premise?

9. Who's your favorite actress in 4? (Nikita)

Maggie Q. She just... nails it, every time.

10. Which do you prefer: Show 1, 2 or 5? (Chase, Lost Girl, Sanctuary)

On sheer "there is no skeevy business here"-ness, Chase. On sheer bad-assery.... man, that's hard--Chase is just intensely badass, but otoh, Helen Magnus, Kate and Ashley. Tough call. Also, Tesla. Perhaps Lost Girl wins this round by a hair?

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3? (Chase, Haven)

Haven had a 13-episode first season, so far, Haven has three more episodes than Chase.

12. If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be? (Nikita)

Nikita or Jaden. Not sure which most. Probably Nikita, though.

13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1? (Chase)

Annie would go down in a blaze of glory, trying to bring someone in. Maybe there'd be a surprise!bomb or a sniper no one thought to check for. Either way, picking up the pieces would be Jimmy's job and then the four of them would be gunning like mad for the perpetrator--who might not survive to be taken into custody.

14. Give a random quote from 1. (Chase)

...er, I don't remember many? Mostly, paraphrasing, "I'm going to find him, and then you can sleep at night." - Annie Frost, to every victim.

15. Which character from 5 would be a good guest star on 2? (Sanctuary, Lost Girl)

Helen Magnus or Kate Freelander. There'd be sex involved and possibly a discussion of whether the fae are related to abnormals or something else entirely. Also, Helen would pass on messages from Dyson's cousin Henry.

16. Would a 3/4 crossover work? (Haven, Nikita)

Yes, provided Division had something to do with Audrey's mother Lucy--or perhaps Percy is farming 'special' operatives in Haven. Or that's where one of the black boxes is.

17. Pair 2 characters in 1 that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple. (Chase)

Luke/Ben Crowley the bounty hunter? I don't know, I could see most of the team (in that "we don't talk about the sex" way). Or Annie/Ben, though the show already sort of went there.

18. Has 5 inspired you in any way? (Sanctuary)

Well. It's inspired a great deal of annoyance at how it's not really about Helen Magnus, but I don't think that's what was meant. Otoh, I do have several pages of Ashley is not dead fic. Perhaps I should write on it s'more.

19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 or 4? (Lost Girl, Nikita)

20. Which has better theme music, 3 or 5? (Haven, Sanctuary)

I like Haven's more, possibly because Sanctuary's feels a bit appropriative, now we've reached season three? I don't know, it's all "look, we have, like, Indian themes in here now. We're totes multi-cultural, no rly, now 'scuse us while we write more about the white guys!" (well, at least, when Sanctuary HAD an opening credits, that is)

While Haven's is just "No, really, we're Eeeeerie, get it? Tee Hee Hee" about it all. Also, it makes me giggle a bit. Also, is Haven going to be back soon, Skiffy? I'm having withdrawal-from-Audrey-pangs. (a check tells me not until SUMMER OF 2011. That is harsh, syfylis)

Lost Girl and Nikita have been such a balm for me this fall. Neither are perfect or completely beyond reproach, but both give me awesome women being awesome every week.

I know. No show I watch manages to pull off being perfect, but at least some of them try.

You know, I've been watching a fair amount of NBC, and I've never seen one single promo for "Chase". I'd never even heard of it outside your journal. That feels wrong.

That's kinda sad.
