To finally get back to doing more of the fandom meme (sorry - life ate me for a while, but I survived and am now back), so onto the other two fandoms:
1. Name 3 of your most favourite fandoms. Babylon 5 (I know we've been talking about already, but it is where my mind is at the moment), Studio60 2. Name one character of each fandom you particularly like. Tell us why. Babylon 5: Very hard to choose, but I'm going to say Talia - I like the way that her character develops and watching how she learns about Psi Corps and starts to question everything that she has been taught. The way that she slowly moves from accepting every that Psi Corps does is right through various steps towards being finally estranged from them. It is such a pity that she was then written out. Plus I like the way that she interacts with the station staff - the way that she is not quite and insider, but not quite an outsider, it makes it very interesting to see how she reacts differently because she doesn't know everything that is going on. Studio60: There are so many characters that I could pick, but I think I'm going to say Suzanne. She is a minor character but has a wonderful scene in which she stands up to Matt (her boss), asking him if he is high, then goes and tells his best friend/co-boss what is going on, even though she think he might fire her for this. I like the fact that she knows what her job is and seems to remain relatively sane and keep her sense of humour while everything is crazy around her. 3. Name one character of each that you don't like. Tell us why. Babylon 5: Sheridan: This one was an easy choice - I don't like him because he allows thinks he is right and the show mostly supports him in this. His taking over control of Babylon 5 doesn't make sense with his total lack of diplomacy in most situations and the way that his character randomly changes to make bits of plot work is annoying. Also, the fact that most of the background that his gets involves more and more ex-wives appearing is not particularly interesting, especially as it is used to create conflict between him and Delenn. [Now I'm going to stop before this turns into a total rant] :) Studio60: Ricky and Ron - I know they are two characters, but given that they mostly appear as a pair, I think they count for one. They are annoying and mostly seem to be there to add conflict to a show that already has enough going on. As characters they are so self absorbed and seem to have no redeeming qualities - even talent. 4. If you can, recommend a piece of fanfic to each of those fandoms. I can't think of any to rec at the moment.
