Memes!

[girlofprey]

Since I have time to do them now!

Ask me my opinion on any character from any fandom, and I will give it to you. If I do not know the fandom, I will say what I think I know based on fannish osmosis.

Annnnd:

1. Go into your LJ archive
2. Find your 23rd post
3. Find your 5th sentence (or closest to it)
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions
5. Tag 5 people on your friend list

Wandering Leeds campus (not quite the urban wasteland I remembered it - more of a concrete palace) got me wondering what my life would have been like if I had gone there instead of the (lovely (though evil)) Nottingham.

I'm not tagging though. It's just not my bag, baby. Feel free to meme with me, if you like.

Daniel from out of stargate.

And Henry from out of drop the dead donkey.

And Francis just because.

Daniel from out of stargate - I have not watched Stargate in ages. But I remember loving Daniel. He was geeky and smart and had lovely swingy hair, and got distracted by random things when they were being shot at by people, and often got too involved in things it was smarter to stay out of, but generally just made up for Jack's efficient, get-in-get-out approach, so it was all good. And he still had nasty, hard angriness underneath it all about certain subjects, which was always wrongly good to watch. And he always had his own strength under all the bookishness, though there were some things that often needed to be done that he wouldn't even consider, leaving Jack to do them generally. But I think I liked him best of the group. I liked Daniel, yes.

Henry from out of drop the dead donkey - Oh, we all know my focus is generally elsewhere during this programme ;) But although I feel I should be more upset about Henry's drunky/gambly/womanising ways, he is still so very cool, and just rocks mostly. He is always the first to jump on one of Gus' stupid ideas, and with a passion none of the rest of them have, because he has EXPERIENCE and can call new ideas stupid if he wants. And he is just generally unrestrainedly disdainful of Sally, and that's what I like about him, I think - his unrestrainedness. If he thinks something, he'll say it. If he wants something, he'll go after it. And he's always smart, and a damn good newsreader and he knows it, and he's earned it. Bit of a bastard. But I like him :)

Francis just because - Oooh, this is a hard meme. I am either asked about people I don't really know or characters I never really thought about before, or I am asked about ones I love so much words cannot express it. But I love Francis! He is mostly an idiot, but then sometimes ingenious in his schemes, which is confusing (I call it Bart Simpson Syndrome). But he always kicks ass at pool, even when he's losing, and he can even bond/fall in love with the man he always fights against while doing it, so yay.

And the writers can't seem to decide if he is a bad boy or a passionate idealist working against the system, but I love him both times. Especially when he is a bad boy. There has not been enough of that in recent episodes. That is when he looks like he wouldn't mind shagging anyone, and would probably bring his own handcuffs and baby oil. But he is very often idealistic when talking to Spangler, and has big blue eyes and really can't understand why Spangler is doing some things, and they have honest conversations, properly honest, and Francis rarely wins them and ends up looking sad, and I love him. He is yay. An idiot, but yay. He comes through for the things he believes in. It is good.
