Here, have a meme.
List five of your favourite TV shows
A. Supernatural (even if it's more love-to-hate lately)
B. Legend of the Seeker (rapidly becoming my fave)
C. True Blood
D. The Sentinel
E. Alias
1. Who's your favourite character in B? (Legend of the Seeker) Cara - hands down. What's not to like about a leather-clad dominatrix whose weapon of choice is a pair of magical deadly dildoes? Also - she's awesome for many other reasons.
2. Who's your least favourite character in A? (SPN) Dean. I wasn't his biggest fan in season one, and he's steadily become less and less likeable. In season five he's a whiny bitch and I'm at the point where I want to thwap him over the head with something very, very hard and tell him to get the hell over it. Pun intended.
3. What's your favourite episode of D? (Sentinel) I'm honestly not sure I have one. I'm not big on many of the fan-faves. I guess, if I have to pick, it would be Cypher...but probably not for the same reasons many fen would pick it. I just have a thing about serial killers :)
4. What's your favourite season of E? (Alias) Two, but three runs a very close second. Season two had a brilliant story arc, but there were parts of it that strained my suspension of disbelief a bit far. Like how Syd was supposedly a double agent but seemed to be spending all her time with the CIA. Didn't SD6 notice, ever? I loved the way season three turned everything upside down - good guys were bad, bad guys were good, relationships were ass-backwards...I loved it.
5. Who is your favourite ship in C? (True Blood) Jessica and Hoyt. Who can't love them as a couple? Hoyt's so sweet to her and Jessica is kinda screwed up but it's not like she doesn't have a good reason. I sure hope they work out in the next season.
6. Who is your anti-ship in B? (Legend of the Seeker) I don't even know what an "anti-ship" is. Anyone care to enlighten me? Is it supposed to mean a couple I don't like? If so, there isn't one. I guess there are pairings I couldn't see working but they aren't in canon.
7. How long have you watched A? (SPN) Since whenever 1.22 aired in the USA and I finally caved and checked it out. I guess that means four years, or thereabouts.
8. How did you become interested in C? (True Blood) Um. I have no idea, actually. I'd never read the books before I saw the show - I'm slowly making my way through them now. I'm not a particular fan of anyone who's in it. I am a fan of HBO - it seems to be a company that knows how to make consistently high quality TV that's actually aimed at an adult audience. And I like vampires, when they're not sparkly vegetarians. I guess I just Vampires+HBO and decided to watch it.
9. Who's your favourite actor/actress in D? (Sentinel) Again, I'm not sure I have one. I love TS for the characters and plots...I know it's a fandom heresy but actually most of the actors in the show I find distinctly unimpressive.
10. Which do you prefer: Show A or B or E? (SPN, Legend of the Seeker, Alias) Right now - Legend of the Seeker.
11. Which show have you seen more episodes of, A or C? (SPN, True Blood) SPN, but only because it has more eps. I've seen all of both.
12. If you could be anyone from D, who would you be? (Sentinel) Gods, I wouldn't! People get shot in that show!
13. How would you kill off your favourite character in A? (SPN) Well, my favourite characters (John, Jo, Ellen) are already dead, so... *shrugs* Maybe y'all ought to ask how I'd bring 'em back!
14. Give a random quote from A? (SPN) "It's just what you're supposed to do, okay? We're supposed to drive in the friggin' car and friggin' argue about this stuff. You know, you go on about the sanctity of life and all that crap."
(There is no #15.)
16. Would a C/D crossover work? (True Blood/Sentinel) Yeah. I think it would work quite well. There are some geographical challenges - Cascade and Bon Temps aren't exactly within commuting distance - but the 'verses would mesh in intriguing ways.
17. Pair 2 characters in A that would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.(SPN) Oh, please. Sam and Dean.
18. Has E inspired you in any way? (Alias) I guess. I've done some fanart, one crossover fic. Not much, in creative terms, though.
19. Overall, which show has a better cast, B or D? (Legend of the Seeker, Sentinel) Oh, Legend of the Seeker. Hands down.
20. Which has better theme music, C or E? (True Blood, Alias) Oh, that's a hard one! I do love the overall Alias soundtrack more, but if we're talking just the opening theme music you can't beat True Blood's. It's just so perfect for the show.

Alias! Alias is like BtVS, I have to rewatch at least one season every year *laughs*
SPN is getting on my nerves, lately. I used to love the show, I love the family issues, the simple MotW, Dean and Sam relationship... Now... sometimes I wonder where are they going. *sigh*
Sentinel is one of my buddy shows. I still love Jim and Blair :D
Legend of the Seekers... that was strange. When I begun to watch it, I have no expectations at all. I was ready to let it drop after three episodes, and then... it grown on me. A lot.
And I agree with you about Cara, there are so many reasons why I love her. And I'm really annoyed this show got axed *grumbles*
True Blood it's about vampires, so, yeah! I had to check it out. And I like it, and can't wait for more :D

I don't re-watch like that. I have to watch the whole thing, all seasons, when I revisit a show. So I don't do it every year :)

Me? I can go and watch a single episode of any show just because something remind me of some little bit and I have to go and be sure I'm remembering well *laughs*
But I can go in a mad marathon, too, and watch complete long shows like BtVS, X-Files, or ST-TNG just because I miss them SO much!
