TV meme stolen from rionaleonhart
Dec. 2nd, 2024 10:13 pmTV questions: pick five TV shows you like (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don’t cheat!
1. Lost
2. Dark
3. Yellowjackets
4. From
5. School Spirits
1) Who’s your favourite character in 2 (Dark)?
Mikkel Nielsen. He does not deserve the fate he ends up with.
2) Who’s your least favourite character in 1 (Lost)?
Smokey McSmokeFace. Or whichever of his names you choose (Esau was popular with fans at the time with him being Jacob's brother, Samuel was used in a casting call, officially he's referred to as The Man in Black. At one time I would only ever call him What's His Face Bastard. But I don't care what was said on a YouTube video, who was called Barry in Classical Roman era? So I'm not acknowledging that one.) He is still dead to me 14 years on from The Bloodbath Candidate. Seriously, wiping out my het pairing and one half of my slash pairing in one episode?
3) What’s your favourite episode of 4 (From)?
Tough one - I'm actually thinking about doing a bit of a rewatch so that might give me more idea. I'm trying to be careful here as I'm caught up to the end of S3 but I know I have people who aren't - on the one hand the S3 finale does give some answers but on the other, it also has the one thing I never want to see.
4) What’s your favourite season of 5 (School Spirits)?
Well, there's only been one season so far, so I have to say that one!
5) What’s your favourite ship in 3 (Yellowjackets)?
Shauna and Jeff have provided me with the most writing material, followed closely by Travis and Natalie, then Taissa and Van.
6) Who is your anti-ship in 2 (Dark)?
It's a bit of an odd one in that I never rooted for Hannah and Ulrich to be together, didn't ship them as such, and yet this is a pairing that's actually provided me with some inspiration to write!
7) How long have you watched 1 (Lost)?
Since 2006, I binged the first two seasons to catch up with the third as it was airing live.
8) How did you become interested in 3 (Yellowjackets)?
I'd seen Steven Krueger (Ben), who I'd also watched on The Originals, promoting it on his social media, and then saw that a few people here had been watching it, so I checked it out.
9) Who’s your favourite actor in 4 (From)?
The one who got me into it in the first place, Harold Perrineau (Boyd).
10) Which show do you prefer? 1 (Lost), 2 (Dark), or 5 (School Spirits)?
Lost's always my old favourite, School Spirits would be the one of the three I'd go to if I wanted something lighter, Dark is definitely the one giving me most inspiration right now.
11) Which show have you seen more episodes of; 1 (Lost) or 3 (Yellowjackets)?
I've seen every episode of both, but have to say Lost purely because more episodes exist.
12) If you could be anyone from 4 (From), who would you be?
Right now I'd probably go with Donna.
13) How would you kill off your favourite character in 1 (Lost)?
I wouldn't. See my answer as to why Smokey McSmokeFace is still dead to me.
14) Give a random quote from 1 (Lost).
"It only ends once. Everything else is just progress."
15) Would a 3 (Yellowjackets)/4 (From) crossover work?
It would involve taking liberties with the timeline, having the Yellowjackets' plane crash in Fromville instead of the Canadian wilderness, but who knows? (Every eejit on social media who's talking rubbish about knowing what's going to happen in From S4 despite the fact that it only got renewed a few days ago and there hasn't been time to complete the scripts yet is wittering about the idea of a plane arriving in the town. Honestly, I'm just finding those posts annoying at this point).
16) Pair two characters in 1 (Lost) that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.
Sayid/Desmond should totally have been together. They had very similar backstories, they had chemistry...
17) Has 5 (School Spirits) inspired you in any way?
Yes, it's inspired me to write a few fics.
18) Overall, which show has a better cast? 3 (Yellowjackets) or 5 (School Spirits)?
I think I'm going to have to go with Yellowjackets.
19) Which has better theme music, 2 (Dark) or 4 (From)?
Not really sure either way on that one.
