Fannish5: 5 most memorable events in your fandom(s) in 2012

Let's see. Bearing in mind that I'm a multifandom person, here's what comes to mind:

1) Being Human: ( Spoilers for season 4 ensue. )

2) The Avengers: The Big Damn Superhero Came, Saw And Conquered, managing to unite, as far as fandoms of mine are concerned, my fondness for the Marvelverse in its various incarnations with my interest in the works of Mr. Whedon. I loved every second of it, rewatched it multiple times, devoured a lot of fanfic, but nothing will beat the first, fine, careless rapture of watching it on screen the first time around. What a moment that was!

3) The Hollow Crown: or, the BBC does It's Hard Out There For A Lancaster Richard II, Henry IV 1 and Henry IV II. Verily, it was a good week or three to be a Shakespeare fan. Due to the popularity of Tom Hiddleston, one could even get the reaction of unspoiled fangirls, which, aw, bless. (Though I will admit to feeling, err, somewhat amused at hearing people feel "protective" about Hal, of all the people.) I mean. Hal. Mr. Übercalculating. Much as I cherish the memory of the scene where Hal gets slapped, though, my favourite Hollow Crown moment, and just about every Jeremy Irons scene ever, if I have to pick just one, it would be Patrick Stewart managing to take something which should be completely worn out and sound like nothing but a string of clichés - John of Gaunt's "This England..." speech - and making it sound fresh and alive in Richard II. But then, he is just that awesome.

4) Breaking Bad, season 5: 51. ( Spoilers for the most recent season of BB ensue. )

5) Merlin, show finale. ( Once and future spoilers abound. )
