Top Five Bad Guys
1. The Master, Doctor Who. I have a personal preference for Simm!Master (and an inability to stop giggling at Ainley!Master when he's on screen), but I like bad guys with EPIC HISTORY with Our Hero, and that lovely balance of style and utter fucking batshit.
2. Julian Sark, Alias. He totally counts. :| The most adorable bad guy ever, but maybe that's just because I can't stop going "But Sark... you're not scary. You're TINY!" A large part of my love for him is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sarkraticmethod's fault (and, by extension, kawaiispinel's fault).
3. Spike, Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He is psychotic and dysfunctional, but adorably so. And I don't give a shit what the opinion of most of fandom is, I liked his development in later seasons (with the exception of some very specific parts of S6). So nyeh.
4. John Hart, Torchwood. ...see above re: Spike.
5. John Thane, Damaged People/Repair/Beyond the Rift. I actually prefer him from his proper canon, because he is just unadulterated horrible in Riftverse, but hey, he has invaded the Rift hivemind as THE ULTIMATE BOGEYMAN. He deserves a mention.
Top five shows you meant to get around to watching but never did
1. Stargate. I will get around to it someday, I really will, and I'm a big sucker for scifi and military and all that shiny stuff, but every time I could go and torrent it I always... forget.
2. Dead Like Me. 'Cause. (Though whenever I do get around to watching it, I will be so weirded out, because Martin's PB is in there. And so not Martin.)
3. Six Feet Under. I'll be honest, this one is mostly because... I'm a sucker for Peter Krause. Shut up.
4. Sliders. Okay, not so much watch as rewatch. I used to watch it, but, y'know. When I was tineh. And I remember none of it.
5. Battlestar Galactica. Another thing that has been sitting on the list FOR AGES. I really need to start actually torrenting these things.
Top Five Gwen Moments
God, this is hard. I'm not allowed to say EVERYTHING, am I? Okay, um...
1. In "Day One", talking to Jack about Carys, her family, her life... Her complete refusal to accept the emotional distance that comes with Torchwood, and the way she practically dares Jack to tell her to back down... And his response, that laugh, the look in his eyes where he just falls in love with her. "Are you always this awkward?"
2. Weapons training. That's... really all that needs to be said. Yeah, sexual harrasment with Jack, always fun, whatever. Mostly? I have a thing for guns, and she is both really sexy and so damn cute with them.
3. Adrift Adrift Adrift Adrift. I can't watch the episode much, because... uh... I end up wanting to punch Rhys repeatedly in the face (and Jack, but mostly Rhys), but I just. Love it. The whole episode. I always forget that until I end up watching it - thankfully, I did a S2 rewatch not that long ago, so I still remember. My absolute favorite part of the episode is when Gwen's wandering around the island, up in the lighthouse, and oh god, the talk with Jack looking out over the ocean.
4. Gwen in the police station in Exit Wounds. Face it, she is fucking badass. Rhys and Andy pretty much covered my opinion of that scene. "Bloody impressive, man." "She is that, yeah. Lucky sod."
5. Um... can I say the entirety of Day Two of CoE? Whatever, I'm saying it anyway. She is fucking badass the whole way through. Particular favorite parts of that episode include in the beginning where she pwns the fake EMTs, and sneaking in to rescue Jack with Rhys. (Especially that little "shut the hell up" gesture she makes at Rhys over the guy's head. SO MANY HEARTS. And her faaace upon seeing naked Jack. ...I know I'm ridiculous. You don't have to say it.)
Top Five OTPs
1. Tenth Doctor/Martha. It is terribly unhealthy and continues to break my heart even though Martha's been off the TARDIS for ages now, but I can't help it. Every time they're together, my heart just does happy/breaky somersaults in my chest.
2. Jack/Martha. When I've had enough of the Doctor and Martha breaking my heart, this is the happy ship I go to. Jack adores her and it's so patently obvious every time he's around her, and as much as Martha loves him too, she also doesn't put up with his shit. They're really good for the angst too, which is always a plus, if you're me. XD
3. Jack/Gwen. They don't even have to be together to make me happy. I just love watching them interact. They're both good and bad for each other, in different ways, and I'm okay with that. I could explain why I love them, but... oh, it would probably be easier to just read those fics I wrote that pretty much encapsulate it. (Warning: Use of the word "Gwack" in my presence will get you punched, because it's a sign you're probably a dick.)
4. Tosh/Suzie. DON'T JUDGE ME. You will never convince me this is not canon. Watch them together in "Everything Changes", when Gwen first comes into the Hub and Suzie comes over to hover just over Tosh's shoulder. Or the way they interact in TKKS, when it's just the two of them in the Hub. And Mary? Totally a rebound from Suzie. I'm attached to my crackship.
5. Jack/Tosh. I JUST WANT TOSH TO HAVE SOME HAPPY IN HER LIFE, OKAY? And if she's going to kill everyone she loves... I'm also a fan of Jack/Tosh/Ianto and Tosh/Ianto.
Those ended up being all Whoniverse, but whatever. The Whoniverse is my One True Fandom right now.
I still have a bunch more of these to do. I will get to them eventually.
