Fannish Argosies

1. The first character I first fell in love with - Hm, probably Rimmer. He's just so unlikeable as to be likeable.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Cat, maybe? He was a bit over-the-top for me at first, but he quickly grew on me.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - I'm not in tune enough with the fandom for this one. There's not really anyone in the series (so far that I've seen, b/c I haven't seen every season) I hate.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Does anyone hate Kryten? I like him.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Still like 'em all.
6. The character I would shag anytime - This one's tough. Rimmer is too much of a git, Lister would need to be disinfected first, Kryten is an android, and Holly...there is no good choice here.
7. The character I'd want to be like - Good god, none of them, please.
8. The character I'd slap - Rimmer. And often.
9. A pairing that I love - Rimmer/Lister amuses me.
10. A pairing that I despise - Eh, nothing really.

Hell-O! Ace Rimmer! And he'll leave you disheveled in the twisted sheets as he dons his flight jacket and says, "Smoke me a kipper; I'll be back for breakfast."

Gawd, I need some Dwarf icons, man.

From:

Gah, of course! The problem is solved! *g*

For RD icons, try

spacemonkeyluvn, s'where I got mine.

I was going to suggest him, but

gritkitty beat me to it. ;-)

From:

O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin books.

A surprise, I know.

Huh-huh, huh-huh, I said "surprise".

From:

*grins* He who would pun would pick a pocket, m'dear.

1. The first character I first fell in love with - Stephen. Oh, Stephen. Love.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Sophie. I have mixed feelings of pity and respect for the poor dear, but I do like her.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - This one is so easy. Diana. I know I'm supposed to find her strong and admirable and suchlike, but god, I can't stand her. There's just something about her that grates on me something fierce.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Are there many hated characters? Besides Mrs Williams, but I don't like her anyway.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer - I don't think I've fallen out of love with any of them.
6. The character I would shag anytime - Another difficult one. Stephen would need a good scrubbing, and Jack is a bit loose for my tastes. Probably Bonden, then :)
7. The character I'd want to be like - A mixture of Jack and Stephen. I'd like Jack's good nature and cunning without the corpulence and lack of social skills, and Stephen...who wouldn't want to be a naturalist and a spy?
8. The character I'd slap - Diana. Hard. And maybe Dillon, too. Jack on occasion, and probably Stephen when he gets all self-destructive.
9. A pairing that I love - Jack/Stephen, though I don't have to have a pairing for these books. They work quite well without one.
10. A pairing that I despise

From:

Whoops, forgot the last question. Pairings I despise - anything with Diana, 'natch.

I guess I'm easy; I'd sleep with just about any of 'em. *g*

From:

Hee. Oh, btw, I found a great site listing some of the language related faux pas in the books - here (http://www.io.com/gibbonsb/pob/lapsii-linguae.html).

From:

I just bookmarked THAT puppy for leisurely enjoyment later! Thanks!!!

From:

Ah, dear me, let's see. There are so many! Um...um...AUGH.
I'm torn among Barney Miller, I-Man, and Hornblower, so take your pick (or, hell, do them all XD).

From:

Hee! Your wish is my command.

Barney Miller:
1. The first character I first fell in love with - You know this one. Dietrich, my lovely little fellow redheaded bookworm. Who may or may not be from outer space. There is nothing about Dietrich I don't love.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Wojo. At first glance I saw a bit of an oaf, but he's such a gangly thing in so many ways and has such a good heart that I can't help loving him.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - Erm...does anyone actually love Levitt? Surely not.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Is anyone but Levitt hated? Dunno if he's hated, but poor Zatelli probably has few fans, and I love him to bits.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Hmm. Can't think of anyone.
6. The character I would shag anytime - Harris would kill me if I said Dietrich ;)
7. The character I'd want to be like - Dietrich! Sensing a pattern? So unflappable. I want to be that cool.
8. The character I'd slap - Harris on occasion, also Barney. Levitt I wouldn't slap; I'd push him off a building.
9. A pairing that I love - Harris/Dietrich
10. A pairing that I despise - Anything that comes in-between the above.

I-Man:
1. The first character I first fell in love with - Very first? Fawkes, probably, b/c the first scene I ever saw was the bit in "It Hurts When You Do This" where he's stroking Bobby's arm so gently and being all sweet.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Eberts. He sneaks up on you, and you overlook him at first b/c he's in the background but then he opens his mouth and you realize that Eberts is God.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - I love everyone on this show. Except Alex, but I don't recall too many people loving her.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Do people hate Jonesy? I love him. Or I love to hate him, anyway.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer - My love for these characters continues on and on.
6. The character I would shag anytime - BobbyHobbes. Hell yeah.
7. The character I'd want to be like - Hrm. Claire, I think. She's the most level-headed of any of them.
8. The character I'd slap - Darien whenever he turns stupid and shags evil enemy agents like AquaChick.
9. A pairing that I love - Bobby/Darien
10. A pairing that I despise - Anything not the above.

Hornblower:
1. The first character I first fell in love with - Um...the ships, to be honest. I was drawn to the show by the prettiness of the ships. Then Horatio, b/c the first movie I saw was "The Fire Ships", then Archie. But Archie is still my favorite, with perhaps the ships a close second ;)
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Bush. Wasn't looking forward to his inclusion, but I do love him now.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't - Maybe Pellew, though he does have his moments when I like him.
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - This answer could be Archie or Bush, depending on your definition of "everyone else".
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Pellew, probably. He lost his shine in the later movies. Horatio, if we're talking about the last movies.
6. The character I would shag anytime - Archie!
7. The character I'd want to be like - The Duchess, perhaps.
8. The character I'd slap - Everyone at some point or another. Except Archie, b/c that would be mean.
9. A pairing that I love - Horatio/Archie, Bush/Cotard.
10. A pairing that I despise - Horatio/Pellew, Horatio/Bush. The first...just, ew. The second - I don't see the love there. Really don't.

*giggles like mad*

Erm...does anyone actually love Levitt? Surely not. Levitt I wouldn't slap; I'd push him off a building.

ahaha Levitt really was the one character on that show that I could've happily seen die. His ridiculous tantrums, I just couldn't even like to hate him. *runs him down with a lawnmower* Cute props to Zatelli. ^^

Darien whenever he turns stupid and shags evil enemy agents like AquaChick.

Word. X| Eberts! heehee

Um...the ships, to be honest.

LOL That's fabulous. Totally agree about the Bushter. I was already fond of him in HH2, but it's funny how a little French blood could make me love him immensely. XD Word to answer #10.

From:

Heh, I've already watched the entire DVD set for season one. Devoured those damn things. Some eps I haven't seen in AGES. I had to both groan and giggle at the one where he sleeps w/AquaChick, b/c on one hand he sleeps w/her when he knows it's not a good idea and he doesn't use protection to boot, but on the other hand when he tells Claire about this she gives him the "my god, you're so bloody stupid" look then makes him wear the big Stupid Helmet. As if it's a punishment, her way of saying "look, if you're going to go around sleeping with enemy agents I'm going to make you look stupid in public". I love Claire.

From:

*G* I haven't seen the pilot since it first aired, so there's a lot of it I don't remember except for the parts I've seen so often in vids. Poor Darien. Pretty bad when even the actor didn't wanna kiss AquaBabe because he thinks she's too cheesy.

From:

*snickers* I love those boys. Such marvelously opinionated actors, and so not afraid to publicly state (often) that the best part of the show is the two of them together.

From:

And the sci-fi channel didn't mind pandering to our tastes either *G*
