In the process of catching up with ljdom: two memes during recent weeks appeal in particular.
Firstly:
Name five times that a character you like/love did something you dislike/hate.
Although this is almost too easy, considering the majority of the characters I like. I mean, I could make a list of five murderers and warmongerers with attempted genocide as a sideline alone, I guess. So, let's make this a bit trickier by leaving the likes of Arvin Sloane, Londo Mollari, Servalan or Winn Adami out of it and stick to characters usually specializing in heroics. Also, I must exclude examples like Elizabeth Swann doing that thing she does in DMC, because while it is clearly wrong, it made me adore her, which isn't the purpose of the question.
1) Laura Roslin. ( Spoilers for s2 of Battlestar Galactica. )
2) The Ninth Doctor and Rose: ( Spoilers for s1/27 of Dr. Who, very vague ones for s2/28 )
3) Connor: ( Spoilers for season 4 of Angel )
(3a A similar example would be Vir at the end of Sic Transit Vir, ( spoilers for that episode and s3 of Babylon 5 )
4) Rupert Giles: ( Spoilers for the entire series of BTVS )
5) Roj Blake: ( Spoilers mostly for s1 and 2 of Blake's 7 )
The other meme everyone seems to have been doing in my absence:
You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 Compliments Londo Paid G'Kar", or "5 Times Kai Winn Sincerely Agreed With Sisko And/Or Kira"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun! Then you post this offer in your own journal.
Fandoms I could do this in: all three Joss Whedon shows plus Astonishing X-Men, Babylon 5, Star Trek in all incarnations save Enterprise (because I only saw one proper season of same), Highlander: The Series, Star Wars (slight preference for the prequels), X-Men movieverse, Farscape, Blake's 7.
