A meme

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


ETA: All done.

DS9 : #2 Miles O'Brien or Major Kira

LoTR : Think you are Galadriel, vicariously live the life of Éowyn, and have naughty thoughts about the Sons of Denethor, appreciating each for their unique qualities.

ST:TNG : Counsellor Troy

Pub Crawl : Garrak, Scarlett O'Hara, Jonathan Higgins, and Marge Simpson. OK, I made the last three up, but it would make for an interesting evening.

DS9: Right second time!
LotR: Frighteningly well put!
ST:TNG: No, see above - I lean towards my delusions of godhood rather than my better impulses

Pub Crawl: that would be a... fascinating evening. Garak is one of them. But who is Jonathan Higgins?

[identity profile] mikekellner.livejournal.com 2005-12-20 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Higgens is Tom Magnum's straight man in Magnum PI. If you never watched it, Tom is an Ex Military Intelligence guy turned Private Investigator in Hawaii. He lives on the estate of trashy romance novelest and zillionare Robyn Masters. Higgens is the Brit Butler, and Magnum's keeper. (In the end, we learn that Higgins is Robyn Masters, and the butler act is a disguise allowing him to lead a normal life, plus he is embarrassed at the trash he writes, but enjoys the upgrade in lifestyle.) Higgens is ex career Royal Army.

Hmmmmm..... delusions of godhood Dr what's his name who made Data & Lore?

I am sure it is Higgins, my typing and spelling are almost as bad as my proof reading.

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!)

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.

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

Welcome to my imagination!
