selenakName five characters who would love to attend a family reunion.
1.) Jenny (Doctor Who). Mind you, she doesn’t know anyone she’s related to other than the Doctor yet, and all other family members appear to be timelocked/dead. But you know she’d hit it off with Susan if they ever had the chance to meet, and she definitely would enjoy meeting Amy and Rory if she runs into the Doctor again while he’s Eleven. (Though she’d ask him where Donna and Martha are.) As forstepmom River – the mind boggles in a delightful fashion. Moffat, you lobbied for Jenny’s survival – please bring her back!
2.) Rom (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine). He’s that kind of guy. Of course, he’d know Quark and their mother are bound to start an argument within five minutes of being in the same room with each other, Zek is probably senile enough by now to goose Leeta, Nog would be fine as long as there aren’t any humans around (with humans around Nog would have an attack of embarrassment for being a Ferengi), if cousin Gaila would show up at all it would be with a scheme to kill Quark… but Rom would still enjoy attending that family reunion. He’d work non stop to smooth feathers, praise Nog’s Dominion War heroics and make Quark tell everyone about the time the magnificent Ferengi outwitted a Vorta and several Jem’Hadar. At the end of the event, he’d say “wasn’t it great” whereupon Quark would be torn between wanting to kill him and wanting to kiss his forehead again.
3.) Drusilla (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel the Series). Dru being a masochist helps with that, undoubtedly, but it's still true. She'd enjoy any combination of Fanged Four family reunions (this is canon), and would only miss them if the stars told her that the Slayer would show up as well. (And probably even then.) Beyond Darla, Angel and Spike, I have no idea what she thinks of the extended family, but the Master is dust, so that's not an issue, ditto Penn the creep and the poor submarine engineer, and sadly also Holden. (Holden the psychologist would have a field day, pun intended, attending those family reunions, one assumes, but only once. Then he'd stay the hell away for self preservation. If he weren't dust already.) Connor? She'd so go for Connor. Depending on whether she'd meet him with or without his real memories intact, this could get iiiiinteresting.
4.) John Crichton (Farscape). Unless said family reunion takes place inside his mind and features hallucinations that have his dying mother come on to him, of course. But real life family reunions, while not without their angsty aspects, generally went well, and I think post-Peacekeeper Wars, if it was possible, he’d love to introduce his sister, nephew and father to Little D.
5.) Merlin (the version that’s currently running around in Merlin the BBC series). Granted, last season’s unexpected!reunion started of badly, but it got better until a certain event, and he did dream of engineering another reunion out loud. Plus he loves his mother, who is one of the most endearing guest roles on the show. Merlin would definitely love to attend a family reunion as long as it’s his own family that’s doing the reuniting. Otoh, given how Pendragon family reunions go on this show (and, err, most versions of the legend), one can’t blame him for being extremely wary of those.
