shadowkat33 of My Favorite Things
1. Color
Purple (used to be yellow when I was a small child, but my mother went overboard).
2. Ice Cream Flavor
Peppermint Stick (reminds me of when I rode my bike as a kid with my best bud to Zarda's dairy to get home made peppermint stick ice cream cones)
3. Favorite Cult Television Serial
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
4. Favorite 2014 Fantasy Series
Once Upon a Time
5. Favorite Buffy Episode
Once More with Feeling - no brainer, it covered all the characters, plus had song and dance numbers, and lots of witty humor
6. Favorite Angel Episode
Destiny - loved the exploration of the Angel/Spike relationship, and how they made fun of prophecies and the whole holy grail myth. Sucker for bro-romances.
7. Favorite Space Opera
Farscape
Favorite Episode?
Lawyers, Guns, and Money Part I & Part II
Favorite Season - probably Season 2 or Season 3. S2 had more humor.
8. Favorite Romantic Ship
John Crichton and Aeryn Sun (Farscape) - least frustrating, controversial and most satisfying. (Most romantic ships on tv shows are frustrating, controversial and the fan fights give me a head-ache. It helped of course that I came to Farscape long after it was cancelled and the fandom had scattered.)
9. Favorite Space Ship
The Tardis (it's bigger on the inside than the outside, looks like a british police phone booth, and goes backwards and forwards in time and space, what's not to love?)
10. Favorite Doctor Who Companion
Amy and Rory (which is why I'm not active in the fandom, they appear to be the fandom's least favorite for some absurd reason that I can't wrap my head around.)
Favorite Doctor? Ten
Favorite DW Character? River Song
Favorite Seasonal Arc? Reboot Seasons 5-6.
11. Favorite Sci-Fi Serial
Farscape (weakness for Space Opera)
12. Favorite Sci-Fi Novel?
The Sparrow by Maria Doria Russell - it's the only one I remember vividly
13. Favorite Straight Fantasy Novel?
Eh...probably The Hobbit, although this changes with my mood
14. Favorite Sci-Fi Movie
BladeRunner (a noirish sci-flick loosely based on a Phillip K. Dick novel, starring Rutguer Hauer and Harrison Ford (possibly in their best roles). And directed by Ridely Scott.
15. Favorite Fantasy Movie
Lady Hawk (cheesy, but fun - it has Matthew Broderick aiding Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pffeir in their quest for love and revenge. Hauer has been turned into a wolf at night and Pffier into a hawk during the day. Beautifully filmed, has just the right dose of snarky humor, and action.)
16. Favorite Action Movie
The Long Kiss Goodnight - stars Samuel L. Jackson and Geena Davis, Davis is a bad- ass assassin who lost her memory. Think Bourne Identity meets Philip Marlow.
17. Favorite Cultural Medium
Live Theater - you just can't capture the energy and magic that happens between an audience and the actors on stage during a live theater performance on the page or on the screen.
18. Favorite Animal
The Lion - there's a lazy majesty to the lion. And an iron determination. Not to mention grace. Close second is the White Tiger and Jacquar. I'm a cat person, and find the big cats fascinating.
19. Favorite Urban Fantasy Series
The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, although Illona Andrews Kate Daniels series is a close second.
20. Favorite Historical Series and Romance
The Chronicles of Lymond by Dorothy Dunnett. The fact I consider this a romance says a few interesting things about me.
21. Favorite Super Hero Team
The X-men
22. Favorite Super Hero?
Eh...it's probably still Cyclops, but the one in the comics, not the the movies.
They ruined the character of Cyclops in the movies. Annoyed me to no end.
Favorite female character was Rogue, again in the comics - not the movies.
On the DC side - favorite was Batman. Favorite movie Batman? Christian Bale.
23. Favorite Bond?
Daniel Craig
Favorite Bond movie? Skyfall, although Casino Royale is a close second.
24. Favorite Once Upon a Time Character?
Emma Swan
Favorite OUAT episode? Manhattan
Favorite Ship? Neal/Emma
Favorite Male Character? Rumplestilskin
25. Favorite Anime?
"Castle Calistroga - featuring Lupin III from MonkeyPunch"
tied with "Spirited Away"
26. Favorite Realistic TV Series/Cop Show?
The Wire
Favorite Character on The Wire?
Detective McNulty by played Dominic West
27. Favorite Day of the Week
Saturday - it's first day of the weekend
28. Favorite Buffy and Angel Characters
Spike and Buffy (S4-7) BTVS
Willow and Giles (S1-3) BTVS
Wes, Darla, Fred/Illyria, and Lilah - Angel
29. Favorite Platonic Relationship
Spike and Angel - I'm a sucker for bro-romances
30. Favorite female platonic relationship
Alica Florick and Diane Lockhardt on The Good Wife
Regina and Emma on Once Upon a Time
31. Favorite Time of Day
