TV questions: pick five TV shows you like (in no particular order) and answer the following questions. Don’t cheat!
1. Interview With The vampire
2. Wheel of Time
3. Sarah Connor Chronicles
4. Yellowjackets
5. The Mandalorian
1) Who’s your favourite character in 2 (WoT)?
Oof that's a tough one! Book-wise Moiraine and Nynaeve always shared top spot - really eternal faves tbh - but the show has nudged Egwene into the running as well, and Lan doesn't feel far behind. Depending on how they handle things going forward, Perrin could also pull into the running *shrug emoji* Look. I have feelings about these books!
2) Who’s your least favourite character in 1 (IWTV)?
Hands down, Santiago. Don't even have to think about it. I would like to throw hands with that mofo.
3) What’s your favourite episode of 4 (SCC)?
From season 1, The Demon Hand. Cameron's arc with the ballet dancer, Derek watching her dance later on, Ellison visiting Silberman and the subsequent Jesus-like rescue scene with Sarah, John confronting Sarah about signing away her parental rights while imprisoned.
Season 2 is a lot harder, so mini-cheat, I'm picking the double episode Today Is the Day pt 1 and 2. But the whole season is honestly so strong, no longer weighed down by the needless high school drama of season 1.
4) What’s your favourite season of 5 (The Mandalorian)?
1, with the lambasted season 3 being a close second. I love that they went, "you know the space western? Now space fantasy!" From the score, to the setting, to the charming use of puppets. Really gave old school fantasy show on tv vibes. Imo the only thing marring season 3 is the droid episode, but when has Star Wars focusing on droids made me anything but spitting mad.
(my brain was also extremely conflicted by Grogu basically riding around in IG-11's hollowed out corpse, but damn if the cuteness didn't override it)
5) What’s your favourite ship in 3 (SCC)?
Derek/Jesse is such a messy treat, Sarah/Ellison is also very interesting. But Cameron/John is endlessly amusing.
6) Who is your anti-ship in 2 (WoT)?
BOOK SPOILER
Never ever have I been sideswiped as hard by a pairing as Moiraine/Thom. If the show ever so much as hints at his, I will breathe fire. And possibly throw up in my mouth a little bit.
7) How long have you watched 1 (IWTV)?
Since about three episodes into s1. It's one of the shows where I'll grab the episode as soon as it lands. Yay weekly episodic television <3
8) How did you become interested in 3 (SCC)?
I was honestly resistant, loving T2 so very very much. But after my flist started raving about season 2, I finally dove in, and fell deeply in love. The themes, the characters. What an excellent show!
9) Who’s your favourite actor in 4 (Yellowjackets)?
The cast is incredibly strong. I'll cheat and pick one from each timeline: Liv Hewson as Van, and Christina Ricci as Misty.
10) Which show do you prefer? 1 (IWTV), 2 (WoT), or 5 (The Mandalorian)?
They're vastly different and so I like them in very different ways, but to rephrase: if only one of these three shows could exist,which would you choose?
Wheel of Time. The books still live rent free in my head, every morsel I get of this world on screen is a gift.
11) Which show have you seen more episodes of; 1 (IWTV) or 3 (SCC)?
Sarah Connor Chronicles has the lead, with one and a half seasons of old timey length tv seasons. But I do hope Interview With The vampire gets to carry on.
12) If you could be anyone from 4 (Yellowjackets), who would you be?
Oh, I'd be Walter. Independently rich, and unburdened by everything except wanting to do stuff he finds enjoyable. No woods trauma for me!
13) How would you kill off your favourite character in 1 (IWTV)?
Well. They kinda did? (really cannot choose between the vamps tbh) But the "Claudia is my coven" sendoff is the comfort blanket in that scenario.
14) Give a random quote from 1 (IWTV).
Suffocation by the world's softest, beige-est pillow!
Let me tell you, I cackled out loud. Had to pause to finish cackling. After I watched the whole (god damn amazing) episode, I went back and watched their fight several times.
15) Would a 3 (SCC)/4 (Yellowjackets) crossover work?
Hmmm. They could run into Sarah and John in the forest, hiding/training/prepping... Future timeline with Sarah hiding away at Lottie's retreat would have such potential for hilarity. Misty and a Terminator out doing shenanigans together would be unbeatable tho.
16) Pair two characters in 1 (IWTV) that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple.
Um, they're all strange but definitely not ok lol. I think "ok" would undermine the fabric of reality for these dysfunctional fools.
I mean, IF THEY'D JUST LET THEM BE, Claudia and Madeleine would have owned the night. But alas.
17) Has 5 (The Mandalorian) inspired you in any way?
I guess it got me to make icons? And it was probably part of the reason why I wanted![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
disneyplusshows to be a community that existed. I did search "lyrics hot space papa" so my head vid could have tunes, and now David Wilcox's "Hot, Hot Papa" is my ringtone and is very good at getting me out of bed (when I use it. It is quite loud and insistent).
Well my friends all wished me a fare-thee-well
And papa shoot like a bat out of hell
Hot hot papa
Hot hot papa
I got a ten dollar wristwatch on my wrist
Two thousand dollar written on my fist
Hot hot papa
Hot hot papa
And ah ooh wah ooh yaah mmmmmm
Hope you don't bend
I know how to get it
I can sip hot lead and spit out rivets
Hot hot papa
Hot hot papa
:DDDDDDDD
18) Overall, which show has a better cast? 3 (SCC) or 5 (The Mandalorian)?
Sarah Connor Chronicles. I mean, Lena Headey? Fucking excellent Terminators? Flawless. No notes. I haven't seen Stephanie Jacobsen in anything except that one BSG episode since, and it's a crime tbh.
19) Which has better theme music, 2 (WoT) or 4 (Yellowjackets)?
Definitely Yellowjackets. Getting Alanis Morisette was such a peak move, and the vibes are immaculate. However, I will say Wheel of Time has the prettiest title sequence. They stopped using it for a while, and we were all happy to see it return.
+ Random icon button gave me a Star Wars icon, so that's today's fic pick for #Rec-Cember!
Star Wars
when you lay me down you'll only bury bones byonespaceace (18,959 words)
AU where Mando couldn't save Grogu at the Seeing Stone (Chapter 14: The Tragedy). This grabbed me beginning to end, both the POVs and the character interactions were *chef's kiss*
Luke jerks awake with a gasp, and immediately gags.
Artoo whistles a question behind him, but he can't give a better answer than the groan behind his clenched teeth. He shuts his eyes and swallows hard a few times until he's sure he isn't about to throw up in his lap.
There isn't much recorded about Force visions anymore - at least, not anywhere that Luke has looked - but he knows that what he saw wasn't a dream. Not really. Shaking, he presses a hand to his throat, running his fingertips over the unmarked skin there, where he swears he can still feel the impossible heat of blaster fire. There's no way of knowing if what he saw has already come to pass, but there's a twisting deep in his gut that tells him they're too late. He can't tell if it's the Force reaching out to him, or simply his own fears, but the cry for help that echoed across the galaxy to him had jolted him from meditation hours ago. There is every chance the child is long gone; their Mandalorian defender long dead.
But Luke, for all his faults, has never learnt to quit while he's ahead. Until he reaches Tython, until he finds the child, there's still a hope that he can't quite abandon.
