nyias and trinityvixen:
a. Post a list of 15 fandoms.
b. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each one.
c. When guessed, bold the line, include the character name, and write a sentence about why you like that character.
1 - Star Wars (original trilogy)
2 - seaQuest DSV
3 - Xena
Joxer
The character I like in spite of the character. Joxer is one of the most annoying, grating characters ever created, but I will still watch the show just to watch Ted Raimi. I love Ted Raimi. Even more than Bruce Campbell, sometimes (sacrilege!).
4 - Firefly
5 - ER
6 - Buffy
Xander
I actually got into the Buffy fandom through the books, before watching the show (wierd I know!). Without even knowing what any of them looked like, Xander was my immediate favorite. For being the totally normal everyman in this collection of superpowered beings. He's the humanity of the show. And he's damn funny.
7 - Angel
Wesley
From an unpromising start in Buffy, Wesley has turned into the most complicated, fascinating and dynamic character on Angel. It doesn't hurt that he's one of the best actors. Rewatching seasons 1 and 2 you can clearly see his character progression. The attributes that would eventually turn him dark are always there, even in the buffoon. And I love him for that.
8 - Andromeda
Harper
I can't not love a wise cracking guy with a seriously vulnerable streak. And when you get him cornered, he gets more wise-ass. As one of the show's writers said, Harper is like tabasco sauce. You put just a little of him on a scene to spice things up.
9 - Star Trek: TNG
Data
Data is the mirror character, teaching us about the nature of humanity. Brent Spiner is brilliant as both Data and Lore (and I point to the episode "Masks" for the breadth of his talent) and has always been the most entertaining to watch.
10 - X-Men movieverse
Logan
Hugh.
Jackman.
That's it.
11 - Enterprise
12 - Smallville
Lex
Watching a character's path to evil can be fascinating, if handled right. And Michael Rosenbaum played the struggle within Lex heartbreakingly well from the first episode. It's so clear to see how he can have good intentions yet fall into evil deeds, how he tries to do the right but doesn't know how. The direction of the character has flagged coming into this season, but MR is the only reason I kept watching the show after the pilot and the only reason I still watch it.
13 - Alias
14 - Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers
15 - Twin Peaks
Coop
Cooper makes this whole series worth watching. Such an attractive, intelligent, cheerful, seriously fucked up man. Between the sending tapes to the possibly fictional secretary Diane, practicing fly-fishing in his room in his boxers, picking suspects by throwing rocks at a glass bottle and being able to transition smoothly between waxing poetic about Douglas firs and prying slips of paper out from under a girl's fingernail, we have a winner. Even if his soul is destroyed in the end.
Some of those are complete no brainers. But I'm not putting Batman:TAS on there because that would be too easy.
ETA: OK, so I've changed a few of them since I first posted, but I bet nobody noticed.
