lls_mutantThe answers from this morning's post:
The List
1.) Sirius Black (Harry Potter)
2.) Granny Weatherwax (Discworld)
3.) Felix Gaeta (Battlestar Galactica)
4.) Toby Zeigler (The West Wing)
5.) Willow Rosenberg (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
6.) Jayne Cobb (Firefly)
7.) Carl Fredricksen (Up)
8.) Sam Adama (Caprica)
9.) Raj Koothrappali (The Big Bang Theory)
10.) John Locke (LOST)
11.) Lily Aldrin (How I Met Your Mother)
12.) Leia Organa (Star Wars)
13.) EVE (WALL-E)
14.) Mia Thermopolis (The Princess Diaries)
15.) Brandon (Galaxy Quest)
Granny Weatherwax, Jayne Cobb, and Lily Aldrin are stuck in a car, during a blizzard, on a road trip through the Canadian wilderness. It's cold. There's no gas station around for miles. And all they have for food is a large bag of potato chips. What happens?
While snacking on the potato chips, Jayne points out they might have to eat each other. Granny tells him to shut up because she's thinking, and Lily smacks him upside the head. Granny and Lily try to work it out. At first, Granny thinks Lily is kind of Magrat-ish, but is soon realizes that Lily's got a lick of sense. Jayne points out that maybe they should huddle together for warmth. Lily whacks him again.
Granny points out that they aren't going to starve in a matter of days, and between them they can get out. She pulls out the dwarf bread, and suddenly, Jayne's not hungry any more. Lily actually tries it.
Sirius Black is incredibly embarrassed by something that happened in their relationship with Brandon, and seeks help from Carl Fredricksen.
Mentors unite! Sirius doesn't quite get American Muggle geeks, and somehow embarrassed Brandon in front of his friends, probably by not realizing who the captain of the ship was or something. Carl laughed his ass off and smacked him upside the head and told him to get his head out of his ass.
If Leia Organa and Carl Fredricksen were trapped in a elevator together for two days, would they both survive? Would they find an ingenious way out, or would they kill each other?
Oh, they would SO survive. Leia would have them out of there in under a day, and Carl would be helping. (Carl would also be secretly adoring her, because she would totally remind him of Ellie.)
Granny Weatherwax and Felix Gaeta set up Toby Zeigler and Willow Rosenberg on a blind date. Does it go well?
Wow. I can't see that happening. Granny and Felix wouldn't really set up a blind date, especially between two people who might not be a legal pairing, depending where on the timeframe you are. But if Willow and Toby did get together, it might actually go well as an interesting conversation depending on what subject they got onto.
The apocolypse has arrived! Which character leads the rest in the endgame battle for survival?
Jayne tries to, until Locke kills him and everyone steps back to let Granny lead. Because you just don't mess with Granny Weatherwax.
The zombie apocalypse has arrived, and Sirius Black, Willow Rosenberg, Carl Fredricksen and Sam Adama are holed up in the local department store (there's food, clothing, and plenty of stuff they can use as weapons). Who's the leader, who gets zombified, and who survives?
Sam's the leader, I think, because Sam is amazingly bad ass. Or at least he tries to be, until he realizes that Sirius and Willow can both use magic. Carl is tickled.
They all survive, because Sirius and Willow can use magic, and Willow thinks Carl is adorable and Sirius thinks Sam is more than just adorable, and the Inferi/zombies don't stand a chance.
Write a ficlet in which Granny Weatherwax and John Locke travel through time and space.
The white light flashed, and Granny blinked.
"Now where are we?"
"I'm not sure the question is where," Locke said. "I think the question is when."
"Wonderful," Granny said dryly, assessing her surroundings. Still the same tropical island. Granny signed. It wasn't that she disapproved of nature. Nature was fine when there was someplace civilized to return to. But the green rot, the dense vegetation, and the strange plants all reeked of foreign parts. "Guess this is some sort of god's game," she said.
Locke raised his eyebrows. "Are you a woman of faith, Mrs. Weatherwax?"
"It's MISS," Granny said.
"Miss, excuse me," Locke said, making a deferential gesture. "You believe in God?"
Granny snorted. "Can't be having with believing in gods," she said. "Only encourages 'em to play tricks like this. Dragging us around through time, testing our worthiness… no deity worth his salt needs to be fooling with testing people. They just know."
"Interesting point of view," Locke said. He leaned down and studied the ground. "This way."
"I expect there's tracks?"
"If you know what to look for."
"Mmm." Granny cleaned her ear with her little finger. "Well, I expect you're right," she agreed. "At least about that. I'd say that black smoke monster thing has been here recently."
"How can you tell?" Locke asked. "The way the saplings are broken or the disturbance in the forest floor?"
"Don't know about any of that stuff," Granny said. "You're the tracker. But the body in the tree kind of gave it away."
Locke looked up and turned pale. "Come on," he said. "Let's get moving. Before the next flash hits us."
Granny nodded and fell into step behind him. As she did, her nose tickled, and she wiped it on her hand.
It was bleeding.
Felix Gaeta, Jayne Cobb and Raj Koothrappali are MSTing a movie. What movie, and how good are they are making fun of it?
Okay, who else wants to be there for this one?
They take the Matrix sequels, because they all agree that the first one kicked ass and the sequels sucked, although for different reasons. They start off pretty good at making fun of it, although the humor is quite different. During one of the boring parts, Raj and Felix go off on talking about spaceships, because it's not like their lines of work are similar in ways or anything. (Raj is in HEAVEN.) Jayne gets frustrated as Felix explains basic celestial navigation to Raj (because "hell, any moron knows that! Shut up and watch, will ya? I think they're about to have an orgy.") They all agree that the sex scene with the back thingies is really, really disturbing.
They all get bored (and completely lost) during the Architect's speech, and Felix and Raj get off onto some technical tangent again, almost missing a surprisingly insightful comment from Jayne.
By the end of the evening, all three are drunk, gorged on pizza and popcorn, and laughing their asses off about there being no spoons. Then Sheldon comes in and finds Jayne in his seat, and all hell REALLY breaks loose.
Toby Zeigler gets amnesia and gets lost at the same time. Can EVE save him?
Pfft. Is there anything EVE can't do? Really. (EVE can at least get him someplace that can help him.)
Write a drabble in which Leia Organa and Brandon fight crime.
"Come on, please?"
"No. You're too young."
"But Jedi training begins at four! In fact, if you look at the evidence presented by-"
"Fine, you're too old. Now shut up." Leia ducked behind the pillar, watching as Vadar talked to one of the Storm Troopers. "When he's done threatening the help, he's going to come this way. We've got one chance to make this work. You'd better be ready."
"I am!" Brandon insisted. "You know, just because-"
"On my mark," Leia said firmly.
"Fine," Brandon mumbled, gripping his blaster. "But I still think I'd be great with a light saber."
Mia Thermopolis falls in love with Lily Aldrin. Lily loves someone not on this list (that would be Marshall). What does Mia do? Does Lily ever change his/her mind?
Mia does nothing, because Mia would never, EVER mess with someone who is married. Definitely not. And Lily never even knows, but she would also never change her mind.
Willow Rosenberg and Sam Adama star in a made-for-TV movie based on Mia Thermopolis's life story. Who do they play, and how does the movie turn out? Is Mia pleased or dissatisfied with the result?
Hehehehe. This is funny because of the way the books handle the movies, and Mia is constantly laughing at the movies of her life.
Willow plays Mia. Aside from the hair color, she's actually not a bad match, and it occurs to me that Alison would have done an excellent job. Mia's kind of surprised at how that turns out.
Sam plays Lars. Mia thinks this is pretty funny, and Lars starts contemplating knives and tattoos.
Felix Gaeta turns out to be Carl Fredrickesen's secret love-child. How does Carl break the news, how does Felix take it, and which character in your list is most likely to be the other secret parent?
Um, HEARTBREAKING. Really, this couldn't happen, because Carl would never, EVER cheat on Ellie. But if it somehow did happen, Carl would be overwhelmed but secretly thrilled, because he always did want kids. Felix takes it surprisingly well, and is glad that someone gives a shit about him. And I guess the other secret parent is Leia, back from when she and Carl were trapped in the elevator together.
Hmm. Maybe Felix doesn't take it so well, and he goes off to become a Sith.
EVE and Sirius Black start their own business together. What kind of business is it? How successful are they?
A Private Eye type of business. They're both good at finding stuff, they can both kill, and Sirius can turn into a dog. However, given EVE's utter lack of subtlety, it doesn't work out too well.
Mia Thermopolis and Brandon die horribly, and it could be because of something Sirius Black, Granny Weatherwax and Felix Gaeta didn't do. How do the first three deal with their guilt about possibly having killed off the last characters?
Oh, good God, you want to give Sirius Black and Felix Gaeta MORE guilt over things that may not have been their fault? You're cruel!!!!
This is a dark and terrible answer, and yeah… no. I don't think I can let Felix and Sirius feed off each other in the death of two teenagers. Even Granny would have a hard time keeping them from overdosing on the emo.
Sam Adama and EVE "meet cute"
Sam giving EVE advice and taking her along on mob jobs, and showing her the ropes. And EVE shows him her blaster arm. EVE and Sam would do better starting a business than EVE and Sirius.

Date: 2010-02-23 10:41 pm (UTC)LOL. I don't know the character of Granny, and I'm three seasons behind on Lost, but this... This cracked me up. Having Locke be all mystical mumbo-jumbo with this woman who is very frank and practical... I wish someone had called him out like this sometime during season three.
Also, LOL FOREVER at the idea of Jayne, Felix and Raj sitting around with beer and pizza. Yes, yes, and more yes!
This is hilarious. :)
