ndnickersonPick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them!
1) Mad Men
2) Law & Order: Criminal Intent (original flavor)
3) Chuck
4) Legend of the Seeker
5) Community
01. Who's your favorite character in 2 (L&O: Criminal Intent)?
I have to pick Goren/Eames. Not as a couple, but as partners. Eames is awesome and Goren is incredibly quirky and great and together, they rock.
02. Who's your least favorite character in 1 (Mad Men)?
I really, really don't like Duck Phillips. Or Henry Francis.
03. What's your favorite episode of 4 (Legend of the Seeker)?
I will go with the super-shallow reason and say, "Any episode in which Richard and Kahlan make out, specifically that one where they technically did it but really didn't."
04. What's your favorite season of 5 (Community)?
Trick question! Since we're in Season 1.
05. Who is your favorite ship in 3 (Chuck)?
Chuck/Sarah. Like anyone had any doubt.
06. Who is your anti-ship in 2 (L&O: Criminal Intent)?
Since there really aren't ships on that show, except I guess Ross/Rodgers... I find the idea of Goren/Nicole pretty damn distasteful.
07. How long have you watched 1 (Mad Men)?
I started watching right before S2 started, when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fairy_tale_echo convinced me to watch; watched all of S1 on DVD, watched S2 live (mostly), and S3 was appointment television.
08. How did you become interested in 3 (Chuck)?
I was vaguely intrigued but found the virulent promos for S1 invasive and irritating. I caught a rerun of the pilot the Saturday after it initially aired and was hooked from then on.
09. Who's your favorite actor/actress in 4 (Legend of the Seeker)?
Bridget Regan is closer to how I imagine bookverse Kahlan than Craig Horner is to bookverse Richard... plus, the epic hair. (I do love Craig for his own particular take on Richard, though.)
10. Which do you prefer: Show 1 (Mad Men), 2 (L&O: Criminal Intent) or 5 (Community)?
L&O: CI when there's nothing else on (although I will sometimes pick marathons even when there is something else on), Mad Men when I want something dramatic and probably dark and moody, and Community when I want to laugh. If you put a gun to my head, I'd probably pick Mad Men, but grudgingly.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 (Mad Men) or 3 (Chuck)?
I've seen all of each show, but more episodes of Chuck exist.
12. If you could be anyone from 4 (Legend of the Seeker), who would you be?
Kahlan, of course. She's kick-ass AND she gets to make out with Richard. Win/win.
13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 1 (Mad Men)?
That's difficult. If it were Don, he'd probably be engaging in some sort of high-risk behavior, as he is wont to do; I'd want him to call Betty and Peggy before he died, and I'd want Anna to come to his funeral. Method? Knowing him, it'd probably be injuries sustained from a drunken car crash.
14. Give a random quote from 1 (Mad Men).
"This never happened. It will shock you, how much it never happened."
15. Which character from 5 (Community) would be a good guest star on 2 (L&O: Criminal Intent)?
I think Abed would be kind of hilarious following the detectives around.
16. Would a 3/4 (Chuck/Legend of the Seeker) crossover work?
I can see Sarah being a Mord-Sith. I can see Chuck ending up with the Sword of Truth and kind of fumbling his way through it.
17. Pair 2 characters in 1 (Mad Men) that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.
For some reason I've always vaguely shipped Peggy/Father Gill, even though they were nowhere near being a couple on the show.
18. Has 5 (Community) inspired you in any way?
It's made me think about fanfic, that's for sure. Although I still can't quite get a handle on it enough to write it.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, 2 (L&O: Criminal Intent) or 4 (Legend of the Seeker)?
I may be biased by how cracktastic Seeker is, but the Criminal Intent cast is more well-rounded.
20. Which has better theme music, 3 (Chuck) or 5 (Community)?
Heh, given that we so rarely hear Community's theme music, I'd go with Chuck.

2) Law & Order: Criminal Intent (original flavor)
