jetpack_monkey- Post a list of ten shows you watch/watched.
- Friends guess my favorite character from each show. I'll edit when one is correct.
- I'll say why once it's guessed.
1. Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Oz (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kittycat22)
Oz is, admittedly, too cool to be real, but that's why I like him. He's the guy I'd want to be if I could shut up. He's in a band, he's funny, and his every word is well-chosen, studied. His sense of humor is bizarre and lightly sarcastic. Also, there's just not enough good Oz-fic around.
2. Angel - Wesley (invisionary)
Much as I love Scruffy!Wes, my preferred is stilly Geeky!Wes from Seasons 1, 2, and half of 3. Still, my favorite character in every season is Wesley, because at the heart of him, he's a man who desperately desires to do the right thing. He may not always get it, and he might dirty some hands, but his intent is almost always pure even when his actions aren't. He's badass and he's geektastic, all in the same show.
3. Firefly - Book (kittycat22)
We didn't get to learn about his mysterious past, but I love Book because he's a huge contradiction. A pacifistic man of cloth who finds himself being inexorably drawn into a world of violence. I think that Book was, in many ways, Joss's commentary on religion and how he believed it couldn't salve all wounds. If Mal and Zoe were ever incapacitated, Book has my vote for ship's captain.
4. Farscape
5. Alias - Marshall (powerof3)
I swear this guy's the only one making the show bearable this season. Marshall Flinkman, tech genius extraordinaire, he who wonders if his co-workers saw the thing about the monkeys the other night while debriefing them on insanely complicated spy tech. Pair him with love-of-his-life Carrie Bowman or man-love-of-his-live Michael Vaughn, and it's wacky-tastic. He's really the heart of the show - affable, good-natured, innocent.
6. Lost - Hurley (airawyn)
"She says hey." Hurley is... oh, dammit, did I use the "heart of the show" thing already? Hell. I like my characters as goofy, affable loners apparently. Desperate mirror reflecting from pop culture icons? Who knows. I just know I like Hurley a whole bunch, and he adds a bit of "dudes!" levity to any scene he's in.
7. The Prisoner - Number 6 (powerof3)
Duh. Like, the only character on the show with any real consistency. Other than the Butler. Still, McGoohan is harsh, yo.
8. Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Tom Servo (powerof3 and darkestlily)
Joel/Mike were wry. Crow was a wisecracker. But Tom was the overconfident voice of joy, blaring out from the theater seats wacky slogans and exclamations of disgust. His trademark "SLEEEEEEEP!" during any hypnosis scene never fails to crack me up. Plus, he has a gumball machine head. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't love a gumball machine head?
9. Monty Python's Flying Circus (favorite Python)
10. Veronica Mars
