30-day TV meme - days 5 and 6
Full list of questions here.
It's so much easier to do this every other day. 30-day memes are strangely exhausting.
Day 5 - A show you hate
Dollhouse
...So yeah. I'm passionate when I like things, when I love things, and when I hate things. But I always preface all thoughts I express about Dollhouse with: if someone else likes it, that's honestly fine by me. It's just not my cup of tea.
Cons of Dollhouse = unlikable characters, poorly-written dialogue, interminable plot, predictable twists, incomprehensible twists, rampant misogyny, hypocrisy, racism, painfully-executed fannish references, implication that Bill Adama is a good father figure, continued typecasting of Mark Sheppard.
Pros of Dollhouse = like an allergy to a foreign antigen, activated my feelings and thoughts about feminism (read:made me a feminist), Laurence Dominic, Jamie Bamber.
God pros, there. Definitely good pros. But yeah.
Day 6 - Favorite episode of your favorite TV show
Considering I couldn't even decide between Voyager and Farscape for my favourite show, I have no idea how to pick favourite episodes. I can barely pick one favourite episode for a season, let alone the whole show. Egads. Regardless, I shall try:
Favourite FIVE episodes of Voyager (with succint reasons as to why they are on this list):
Bride of Chaotica - the one where Janeway becomes a spider queen
Good Shepherd - the one where Janeway bonds with three forgotten losers of the ship
The Chute - the one where Paris and Kim bond in prison (*wink*)
Resolutions - the one where Janeway and Chakotay are stuck onhoneymoon a planet together
The Q and the Grey - the one where Q wants to have babies with Janeway and THERE'S A PUPPY (see icon)
I just can't choose. Though maybe if I were forced I could narrow it down to Resolutions or the Chute?
Favourite TWO episodes of Farscape:
Crackers Don't Matter
Out of Their Minds
Both of these episodes are particularly mad for Farscape, I think that's why I'm so fond of them? There is the quote from Aeryn, "You'll be a crouton, Crichton!", of which I heartily and punnily approve. I am always so impressed by, in Out of Their Minds (when a wacky space-beam makes everyone switch minds), how all the actors imitate vocal inflections and mannerisms of different actors. (After watching this episode I forced myself to adopt Crichton's thoughtful finger-nibble because I thought it looked cool. Trufax.)
