FAVORITE SHOWS/CANONS

[ELPHIE.]

...discuss!

[president laura roslin]

BSG obviously - Laura Roslin is my favorite character from that show, and I fully ship her with William Adama.

LOSTTTTTTTTTTTTTT. That is my next favorite - I adore Charlotte Lewis and Daniel Faraday, and Alex Linus. Too bad they all died. Richard Alpert is one cool dude too.

Fringe! Love it.

Glee is a big one - especially now that Darren Criss has graced my television with his presence on the show.

Uh, Castle! Love that show too. It's hilarious - then again, it's Nathan Fillion, so it has to be awesome. Speaking of him, I also adore Firefly! <3

V - that's the only other show I really watch religiously. I love it - mostly because the woman who plays Juliet on LOST is on it, but also because it's a badass remake. I have a tendency to fall for modern remakes of old shows (see BSG) if they're done very well.

So, anyone else?

[dr. temperance "bones" brennan]

BONES is my all-time favorite show, obvs. xD I have all five seasons on DVD that've been released and s6 should hopefully be released around the same time as my birthday so there's also that.

I also follow Glee because Darren Criss is fabulous. I am aware these shows are polar opposites, thanks.

And NCIS is pretty cool, although I only started watching it 'cos people kept comparing me to Abby. I kind of agree. >.>

[yolanda7g]

hmmm ok so...I love my vampires, except Twilight (sorry! Lol) So my list is as follows:

Obviously VAMPIRE DIARIES - not necessarily because its genius work or anything. But its entertaining, everyone in it is hot lol, and my character, Damon Salvatore is a barrel of laughs so I enjoy watching it very very much - if just to laugh at it. Favorite charries: Damon obviously, Alaric, and Katherine

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER - the best vamp drama ever. Favorite charries - Xander, Willow, SPIIIKE! and Dru. FAITH! OZ! But for some reason I dont like this show as much as I do....

ANGEL - I have all 5 seasons. I guess I like the darker feel of that show. Its my fav show I think. Favs? ANGEL, most definitely, even in all his broodiness. Darla & Angelus. LORNE and GUNN. FRED! WES! Ok I like everyone on the show lol

LOST - is the best. LOVE it. Favs? SAWYER! FARADAY (he was awesome) and RICHARD! Hurley and Sayid! BOOOOOONEE! CHARLIEEEE! *cries*

BEING HUMAN - THE ORIGINAL. I'm american and I hate hate hate the fact they're making an american version of this. The original was amazing all on its own. I love love love the show and I love love love Mitchell!!

I watch a handful of reality shows for laughs - Hell's Kitchen, Celebrity Matchmaker, MTV's Cutthroat lol I also watch the soaps...All My Children specifically, also for laughs lol

[the eighth doctor]

Hm... -drags out the big book of Stuff I Like™-

DOCTOR WHO: Goes without saying, doesn't it? XP I've watched the entire post-2005 series and have been jumping around in the old series, which I actually prefer. Except for series 5, I absolutely love Matt Smith's Doctor.

SHERLOCK: So... I have a thing for Steven Moffat, apparently. Whatever. Three brilliant episodes and I'm hooked good and proper. LOVE the cheerful creepiness of Moriarty.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER: Just recently started watching this, and it's amazing. Funny, dark, heartfelt... it's got everything. Favorite characters? Giles and Willow, definitely. And Spike is always entertaining.

[director j'onn j'onzz]

DOCTOR WHO - my favorite classic doctor has to be the fourth. (sorry, eighth. :3) my dad always loved the fourth so it rubbed off on me. but the new series, i love eleven and ten equally. each brings their own traits to the role so i really like them both.

SMALLVILLE - derp. i'm a huge superman fan, and an obsessive comics fan in general.

BOARDWALK EMPIRE - okay, it's not sci-fi, but i REALLY like this show. michael shannon's portrayal of nelson van alden is what convinced me to use him for j'onn. he's so alien, like he's trying to fit in with humanity but can't understand them. except for the whole whipping-himself-for-sexual-thoughts thing. that didn't come into play in the decision to use him as the PB.

THE WALKING DEAD - love love love it. it's a very emotional drama, and who would have thought you'd get that sort of experience from a show about zombies?

HOUSE - because i pretty much am house IRL. ask elphie.

[ELPHIE.]

I have far too many, and cannot bring myself to put them in any particular order, so here you go:

X-Files - Easily one of the best, if not THE best show ever made. Caters to my love of the paranormal, love/hate relationships, conspiracy, and just down right spooky fun. Have s1-6 on DVD because the other seasons never happened.

LOST - no show has shaped me as much as Lost, and while it had it's flaws, I will love it forever. I own all the seasons on DVD and it is what got me into the net, and roleplaying. I did lost-rp exclusively for 3 years or so. Faves: Sawyer. DESMOND. Ana-Lucia. Juliet. Hurley. Faraday, Richard. .... Basically? I love everyone except Jack, Kate, Claire and Charlie. They suck. And are boring.

Xena - my childhood show, my idol, Lucy Lawless - one of my 3 girl crushes. <3 Amazing show. Also: Ares. That is all.

Grey's Anatomy - I didn't start into it until s5, and then I watched the entire series from 1-5, now I am super addicted, and love it, and though I used to mock it as a soap opera, which it can be, I LOVE this show. Lexie+Mark forever.

House - I spent the first 6 seasons pretty much just dying for House and Cuddy to bang because Hameron was made of puppymurder, but I have never missed an episode. Love me some house.

ST: Voyager - Another show that shaped my childhood immensely. I haven't ever given other Treks much of a chance. Voyager for me. B'Elanna. Tom. and JANEWAY, bitches.

Firefly - SHINY CAP'N. I love Firefly. I love Whedon. I love Jayne. End of story

Doctor Who - I am ashamed to admit I was nagged to death by Evita to watch this show about 3 years back, and I tried watching 'Rose' and got bored and lol'd at the fake mannequins, but then she suggested I skip forward to The Empty Child, being that it was the Moff, and because she knew my thing for the bad-boy arctypes. And then there was Jack Harkness, and then there were 5 seasons to watch religiously, plus specials, and I haven't missed an episode of Eleven's run.

BSG - this is a recent one, (the reboot) I watched the entirety of the series in less than a week....this LAST week, LOL. So, I really enjoyed it a lot.

Friends - This is my stand by show. I own all 10 seasons, am a master of trivia about it, and quote it in my everyday life. Often.

Pushing Daisies - RIP YOU LOVELY SHOW YOU. This show was awesome. Cheno. Nuff said.

GLEE. I love glee. I am a gleek. I have been since season 1. I have converted everyone I can to Glee. GLEE is epic shit. Watch it.

M*A*S*H - If you do not know why this is on my list, I don't want to know you.

Nikita - THE ORIGINAL ONE. NOT THAT BULLSHIT WHAT THE FUCK VERSION ON CW. Peta Wilson. Section one. THE SEXY MICHAEL. Operations and Madeline scaring the shit out of me. Not some scrawny Asian chick and a fugly 'wish I was michael' CW hype train show.

There are probably more but I am bored of listing now, OH and.

I used to be a huge fan of Alias, Smallville, and the like. However I stopped when the shows went to shit plot wise, I still own dvds and hold them close to my heart.

[captain jack harkness]

Space Above And Beyond - Amazing show, ended too soon.. Thank you FOX for ending slash ruining a great show. T.C. McQueen he was awesome! McQueen is a battle veteran and commander of the 58th Squadron. Prior to leading the 58th, McQueen had served many year in the military. During the AI Wars, he was a munitions handler at Port Riskin. At the time of first contact with the Chigs, McQueen was in charge of the 127th Squadron, The Angry Angels. During one of the first battles of the Alien War, the 127th was decimated, leaving McQueen with burns over 20% of his body and as the only surviving member of his Squadron. Angry Angels are the best! -huggles Angry Angel patch-

The X-Files - Watched this show since it started back in 93 and never missed an episode or movie. I truly hope they put out at least one more movie to wrap up all those damn questions Carter left us with >.> Fox was my all time favorite character.. at one point in my life I wanted to be a FBI Agent because of this show. Scully was cool too and I really came to love Doggett. I still have two X-Files shirts and I have the I Want To Believe poster.. even have some action figures from the show as well as trading cards.

Stargate SG-1 - All I need to say is Jack O'Neill = Epicness xD of and Jack and Daniel slash was great, such a good couple.

Torchwood - Love this show and can't wait for the new season. COE was epic and really proved that no one lives long on the show or is safe. I miss Ianto, he was great character. I love Jack Harkness though, he is the best and not to mention rather hot -drools-

Doctor Who - Got into this because I wanted to see the start of Jack Harkness and to see the full storyline. I ended up falling in love with the Tenth Doctor and David Tennant, he was so great at the Doctor and I miss seeing him around -still not watching any of the new season.-

Sherlock - Can the British get this right or what? It made the movie look too American and like it was a piece of crap. I can't wait for the second season.. Sherlock and John are the best. And Moriarty is truly one creepy guy on that show, love how he can just snap.

(Will finish this up later.. has to run..)

Just had to comment. The movie is crap, I'm not going to argue otherwise. I fell in love with McGann's Doctor via the Big Finish audio dramas. I know, esoteric beyond the pale, but they're really excellent. Anyway, nothing wrong with liking the fourth! He's great too. I don't dislike any of the Doctors, it's just a matter of degrees.

*wanders back to Geekland, which incidentally sounds like a fantastic if completely implausible theme park*

[EVITA.]

Okay, I figured I'd jump on the always-late-to-everything train, my go-to method of transportation, and! I love far too many fandoms to list them all, but there are a select few that I like to call my "soul fandoms", the closest to my heart and the ones that really helped to shape me. HERE THEY ARE. THESE ARE THEM.

LOST - For all the same reasons Elphie listed; it got me into RP and the internet in a big way, it introduced me to my closest friends, it taught me that Ben Linus is an impossible badass (an important lesson for anyone to learn). I still need to see the last season because I am a fail, but. I love LOST, flaws or no, and I always will.

DUE SOUTH - This is an amazing little Canadian show from the 90s, about a Mountie who first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of his father and, for reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture, has remained, attached as liaison with the Canadian Consulate. He has a deaf half-wolf named Diefenbaker and two partners both named Ray. It's in turns ridiculous, endearing and heartbreaking and I love it more than anything.

M*A*S*H - No show makes me laugh and cry like this one. Its finale is still the single most-watched episode of any television show in history. If you don't get why, see Elphie's reply. Mmk.

BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER (and Angel) - I used to watch Buffy as a kid, and it really shaped my sense of humour and the way I talk, and also taught me what it means to be a strong woman. VERY IMPORTANT FANDOM HERE.

FIREFLY - Anyone who knows Firefly knows why it's on this list. I don't think I need to say more.

DOCTOR WHO - My go-to fandom! The first episode I ever saw was Gridlock, and when the Doctor described Gallifrey to Martha at the end, I realised that I was embarrassingly in love with a fictional character. No yeah really. Eleven only made it worse, I ADORE him. And every other Doctor except Six. He's horrifying. I AM JUST SAYING.

SUPERNATURAL - Gave me my love of classic rock, classic cars and all things awesome. Honestly, I love shows that give a strong sense of home and/or family, which you'll find in every show on this list. Spn included.

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA - There is no way for me to coherently describe my love for BSG, so I'll leave you with this instead: so say we all.

STARGATE ATLANTIS - A relatively new fandom for me, but no more beloved because of it. The Team is family, Atlantis is home, everything is amazing and popular opinion suggests that I am so much like McKay that it terrifies. (Its sister show SG-1 is quickly earning a place on this list as well, even though I'm only partway through season 1 of that.)

THERE. I DID IT.

[renee]

24 - So I guess this one was major obvious. But I'm a big Renee/Jack shipper <3 I've been watching it since I was like, 10 despite the fact that it is extremely violent and will give you nightmares. But DAMN, watching thumbs and various limbs get cut off is awesome! Hehe.

CRIMINAL MINDS - Yeah, I kind of enjoy my disturbing shows. But learning about sexual sadists is freaking fun. Plus I'm totally obsessed with my little genius of a Reid. Then there's Emily/Morgan moments that are hard to resist. It's amazing. DO NOT DENY THE LOVE OF IT.

RIZZOLI & ISLES - Another crime show xD I'm obsessed plus I'm reading the novels right now which are really good too. Don't like the Rizzoli/Isles shipping though, you can so tell it's not that kind of relationship. They're like sisters, not lovers.

SUPERNATURAL - Just recently got hooked on, but it has such a strong family feel and of course the violence that I adore and appreciate so vividly. Plus Dean and Sam are really hot ^^ That's always a bonus.

VAMPIRE DIARIES - Here's for Yols XD Damon is a sexy beast and do not deny it, I don't give a damn if he's a psychopath. While there are wayyy too many vampire things that people are obsessing over I do like this one because they don't fucking sparkle like little ballerina disco balls.

Moderately incomplete, but it's good enough! ^.^

[melinda gordon]

My favorites shows are:

Renegade: Some of you who know me might have guessed that but anyway. It's one of the best shows i ever seen. I got all the seasons on DVD. I love all characters on there, expect h0gg and his brother as they were annoying as hell, Dixon was a scary, insane and foolish bad guy but i liked him but The good guys are first on my favorite list no mater what. I am Reno/Chey Shipper. Bobby/Sandy shipper, Reno/Lisa Bendetti, Reno/Teddy and surprising I am also Sandy/Reno Shipper too.

Nikita: Same one Elphie spoke of. The one with Peta Wilson the newest show sucks big time. Sorry to anyone who is it's fan. I love Nikita, Michael and the rest. I don't really like operations much but the actors and actresses were definitely amazing. I am Michael/Nikita shipper. Medaline/Operation shipper too.

Buffy and Angel(both shows) : Great action and acting. It's two amazing shows ever, no joke. I love all characters but the master and the first. I didn't like Cordelia on Buffy but I liked her in Angel so. I love: Buffy, Angel, Tara, Willow, Spike, Fred, Gunn, etc. Kennedy and Kendra included. I am a Willow/Tara shipper. Kennedy/Willow, Wood/Faith, Gunn/Fred, Cordelia/Angel, Angel/Buffy, Buffy/Spike, Xander/Anya, Dru/Spike, Angel/Drusilla, Dawn/Connor shipper too.

Dead Zone: Another great show i love. Acting, storylines as well as special effects are great in that show. I love all Characters but only two or so I hate. I like Johnny/Sarah together just as i like Walter and Sarah together. RIP Walter.

Dead like me: It's funny at first I couldn't stand it after watching the first episode as i was complaining about the show a lot. Eventually after watching it i got hooked. It's another great show. Not my usual kind of show but still. I love all characters here.

Vampire Diaries:One of the greatest shows ever. Ian and Paul Wesley are the reason I Started watching it but I got hooked right away. I love all characters here. At first I hated Taylor but not anymore so. Actually I only hate Elena's mother. I love Elena/Stefan, Katherine/Damon, Matt/Caroline, Caroline/Taylor, Alric/Jenna as couples.

Ghost Whisperer: Also it's rather obvious but anyhow. It's an amazing show, a bit dark but I love it. I love all characters but the laughing ghost, Melinda's step dad Tom. I also don't like Eli James.

Medium: Another great show. Dark as well as funny and mysterious. I love all characters but only few I hate. I love Allison and Joe as well as their kids and many more so.

18 wheels of justice: kind of like renegade. Got a lots of action and fun. I love all characters here, except some of the bad guys.

Sanctuary: Not long ago I started watching it on the net and got hooked. Definitely one of the best shows ever. I love all characters except Adam and some others. I would admit that I hated the last epi so.

Charmed: One of my other favorite shows. To bad it ended but I loved the ending anyways. It's an amazing show no doubt. I love many characters here but the source and some others like Dan. I didn't like Cole at first but not anymore now I like him.

Lois and Clark: New Adventures of superman: Another show I like. It's definitely one of the best shows ever. It got action, humor and mystery too. I love all characters here except some of the bad guys.

Hercules and Xena: Two shows I love. Some episodes I need to catch up but a.ll in all I love both shows. I love all characters except Stryf and his twin brother. I dislike Joxer's brother too.

Witchblade: One of the best shows of all time. Got hooked right away. Danny is just amazing here. I love all characters, except Irons and a couple more. All in all it's an amazing show, full mystery and humor and what not.

Bionicwoman(2007): Yes the remake. It's one of the greatest shows ever too. I love it. I wish it had few more seasons like many of the other shows. I loved Jae and Sarah as well as Jaime, Becca and Ruth, Nathan and few more. Many others I hated including Jaime's guy in the first epi.

Alias: Another great show that I like. It's amazing and fun to watch. I miss it. I love all characters except Sloan.

Smallville: Another show I like. It's amazing show but I just see this show as another idea for Superman. I like all characters here except some of the bad guys. Yes here too I got characters that I hate.

Lost: Another show I liked but I so hated the last epi so. I love all characters here except Desmond's girlfriend's father and Sun's father.

Friends: A great show plain and Simple.

Everwood: A very good show which I got hooked to. I still got many episodes to see that I haven't but still.

Doctor Who: I only watched 9TH Dctor and Tenth and I like both.

Stargate sg1 and Stargate Atlantis: Two Great shows that I really like.

X- Files: I only saw few episodes and got hooked. I wish to see all the other episodes so.

Sliders: Another show I like and miss. It's an amazing show and the characters are great.

Secret World of Alex Mack: Great show and original, I like it.

Hex: Wow, a great show and fun to watch. Each episode got suspense in it.

Party of Five: Fantastic show with great actors and actresses.

Full House: I miss it just as I miss Party of five. One of the best shows ever too.

Second Noah: Loved it because it got a lot of interesting plotlines and good acting.

Beverly Hills 90210: Miss this show. It is definitely one of my favorite shows too.

Dark Oracle: great acting and good storylines as well as good special effects. Each episode is unexpected.

I like more then that but it's only some of my favorite shows.
