From espresso_addict:

1. Post a list of up to 20 books/movies/anime/TV shows/video games/etc. that you've had an obsessive fannish love of at some time in your life.
2. Have your friends list guess your favourite character from each item.



1. Blake's 7 -- Cally (kalypso_v)
2. Deep Space Nine... that's far too bleedin' obvious, try guessing my second favourite character: -- Kira (communicator got the character, mikekellner got the name)
3. The Lord of the Rings -- Galadriel (aervir was not fooled by fanfic output and remembered my alter ego)
4. Firefly -- Simon (stultiloquentia)
5. Rome -- Vorenus (kalypso_v)
6. Law and Order: Criminal Intent -- Bobby Goren (communicator)
7. ST:TNG -- Q (communicator)
8. The West Wing -- C.J. (kalypso_v)
9. The Moomin books -- Snufkin (communicator)
10. Buffy -- Xander (kradical)
11. Babylon 5 -- G'Kar (kalypso_v, with katlinel a split second behind)
12. The Vorkosigan books -- Gregor (katlinel)
13. Doctor Who 2005 -- Raffalo the blue plumber (kalypso_v)
14. The Stand -- Glen Bateman (ladybarnard)
15. Elizabeth Enright's Melendy family books -- Oliver Melendy (chazzbanner)

Bonus question: which four fictional characters are invited on my equally fictional pub crawl? (Clue: three are off telly, one is from a book, and only one of them is on the above list.)
-- Garak (mikekellner; that's the one that counts as being from the above list)
-- Titus Pullo, Faramir, Anna Grant (kalypso_v)


ETA: All done.

10. Willow?
14. Glen Bateman?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

10. No - see above.
14. Bingo! A sociologist who uses his powers for good!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I watched Magnum P.I. obsessively when it was on, but don't remember the first thing about it. Wow, that would be some pub crawl.

Noonian Soong? Nope. (Someone's already got this, btw!)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Ha... well, for pubs that's got to be Vila and Mollari. Unless you're reckoning you need one drinking crony who doubles up as a bouncer, in which case Pullo.

Hm. Should I turn back to the crew and try Cally, or cast my net wider?

Oh gods, you can't possibly be going for Centurion Tedius Vorenus?

Friends close, enemies closer - G'Kar?

(Katlinel at work)

Since no-one else has got this one yet, I thought I'd take a stab at it.

11. Babylon 5 - G'Kar

[kradical.livejournal.com]

Ah, well, then it must be Vorenus for Rome.

And C.J. was my first choice, but somebody (to whom you hadn't yet responded) guessed her, so I figured I'd hedge my bets and guess someone else. Glad to see that I was close. *grin*

I thought (1) might be Jenna.....

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Pullo has recently been invited on the pub crawl. But not Vila or Mollari. Yet.


Should I turn back to the crew and try Cally

A very good idea. Bingo!


Oh gods, you can't possibly be going for Centurion Tedius Vorenus?

'Fraid so!


Friends close, enemies closer - G'Kar?

That's my boy.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Oooh, just a split second behind kalypso_v!

[mikekellner.livejournal.com]

I was going to guess Q, but I thought someone tried it and missed.

Perfect for you.

My favorite Q moment... When he decided Picard needed a bit more style, and outfitted him with a serape, sombrero, and cigar, and brought a band for mood music as well.

Wouldn't it be fun to be Q? Just think of the pompous asses you could annoy at will.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

My heart had already been stolen by the telepath.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

It is indeed Vorenus, although without Pullo he's nothing (and vice versa).

And so hard to pick one from The West Wing, because it's such an ensemble show. Josh, Toby, Ainsley were all up there as candidates.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

You know, I think that might be my favourite Q moment as well.

Wouldn't it be fun to be Q? Just think of the pompous asses you could annoy at will.

Welcome to my imagination!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, if you're not picking them on their drinking capacity... if I were crawling round a pub, I'd like to have the Doctor and Marcus on the floor next to me.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

My drinking companions are picked to be a combination of decorativeness and also maximum potential for exploits.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Precisely my criteria for picking the Doctor and Marcus. But if you insist on Faramir and Captain Jack...

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Damn, should have thought of inviting Captain Jack. Faramir's there, definitely.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

You made Faramir pretty obvious, so I don't think I get that one. Hm. Looking over the remaining candidates, either you fancy Giles or it's someone I don't know. None of the girls quite seem to fit your requirements.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Not even this one?

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Well, I considered her, but I always understood that you preferred the character to the actor, so I'd crossed her off your list of potential decorations.

I think she'd get on with Garak, though.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I think she'd get on with Garak, though.

It's wanting to see what they could cook up together that intrigues me...

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

Which of 'em will she try to pull?

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I sense a poll coming on...

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

No, no - before this thread collapses, I protest, I didn't get Faramir and Anna, you thrust them on me with your icons!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

You were practically there.
