TV Meme: Day 19: Best TV Show Cast

This is a hard one, because frankly, I like the casts of all my shows. BSG has an awesome cast. West Wing has an awesome cast. Buffy has an awesome cast. Firefly had an awesome cast. LOST has an awesome cast. I really can't choose on this one.

Day 20: Favorite Kiss

Oh, I don't know! To be honest, I'm not crazy about watching people kiss. I'll give you three, because they actually say something about me, I suppose.

1.)

Once upon a time, I was a huge Roslin/Adama shipper. As in, it was my OTP for ALL MEDIA. Then season 4.5 happened, and Adama turned into someone I couldn't STAND. But before that came The Hub. And when she said "I love you" and he said "It's about time" and they kissed, I was bouncing on the couch. And you know what? I still love this picture. Because while my love for Adama crashed and burned, I still really do like Laura as a character. And after the mutiny, Laura rallied. That makes all the difference in the world. (Plus, as much as I love Tom, I never, ever expected Laura to.)

2.)

Charlie and Claire were my OTP of LOST. There was just something so sweet about them, and I love how Claire always saw through Charlie's bullshit. I even didn't mind when Charlie went all stalker-y, because the show acknowledged that he was doing something skeevy, and Claire was totally creeped out by it. And rather than doing nothing about it, she told Charlie to stay away from her and enlisted Locke's help. And yet, Charlie got true redemption before he died, and his death broke my heart. But Charlie and Claire were one of my favorite kisses. (I like the ones built up after a long time.)

Okay. Enough of the serious ones. My REAL favorite kisses? The not so serious ones :)

3.)

Joyce and Giles in Band Candy in Buffy. How can you NOT love that? It was hysterical. "Young" Giles and "Young" Joyce were a hoot, and so was Buffy's reaction to them.

4.)

Roslin kisses Baltar in the dream sequence in Collaborators. Mary McDonnell can barely even keep a straight face as she leans in. And even Baltar, in all his egotistical glory and carnal desires, knows this isn't real. It's hysterical.

5.)

I forget if they ever kissed, but I can't think of another one, and Miss Piggy attacking Mark Hamill dressed as Princess Leia is just too priceless.

Running is going... okay. I've got what I am positive is a Morton's neuroma, and I want to have it actually looked at and work out ways that I can run without it getting worse. I've gotten some great advice from a doctor friend and it's really confirmed exactly what the problem is, but I'm thinking it's time for some face-to-face (or face-to-foot, as the case may be) time so I can make sure this sucker doesn't get any worse. I did get new shoes yesterday- I went in for padding and the guy selling me shoes pointed out how tight they were. I did feel a difference in my other foot running last night, but I can still feel the neuroma in my right foot. I know padding is the next step- an orthodic or insole or something.

I also finished the prologue at least for my big bang. Whoohoo! I have a start! I still need to get moving on a ton of fics, but now that Fireflies is out of the way, I can maybe write something a little easier. But I'm really excited about my big bang. I came up with a twist the other day that is pure evil. >:) And interestingly, Kara barged in with guns blazing, declaring that she gets a major role in this story. Which is funny, because I so rarely write her. But she's right, and besides, I'm not stupid enough to argue with an armed Kara Thrace.

My interesting problem with the story is I need to find people who actually support what Roslin is doing. Laura's had Adelle and Topher make three Actives: Gaeta, Narcho, and Racetrack. Gaeta was involuntary, Racetrack and Narcho volunteered, although Narcho tried to back out at the very last minute. And Zarek escaped. (This takes place post-Blood on the Scales)

The imprinting technology in Laura's hands is much more gray than it was in the Dollhouse. It's going to fast become apparent that the use of this technology is saving lives. And in some cases, lots of lives. The big blowout in Deadlocked might be averted because of the Actives, and there will be a few other things. Also, Laura is being very, very strict- absolutely no sexual engagements, no matter what. And once they find a planet and a home, Narcho and Racetrack are to be immediately released from their contract and have a blank slate. And even Gaeta will be released eventually. And I really want to keep this gray, because it's an interesting question. If lives can be saved, can the agency of three people be sacrificed?

So, here's what I've got.

Anti-Imprinting: Zarek, Starbuck (although she starts out for it)

Pro-Imprinting: Adama, Roslin, Athena, Lee (albeit reservedly), Tigh, Sam Anders

People who are still alive and I haven't decided: Baltar, Caprica Six, Helo, Galen, Tory, Ellen (when she comes back), Hoshi (once he even finds out), and I'm not even sure who's ALIVE at this point. Who else am I missing? Sonja, Playa... oooh. Playa could be big. Kelly.

I definitely want the anti-side to be smaller than the pro-side. I don't want to turn Laura into the bad guy for this. The very first thing that's going to happen is that they're going to imprint Gaeta with a brain surgeon personality, and he's going to be able to save Sam and between him and Topher, they will actually be able to restore Sam's memories of his former life and erase what Cavil did. So that's going to be a HUGE plus in Laura's favor. Plus there's something else big that Topher's going to do that's going to help.

Anyway, must sort this out.

Hee. It's the Sesame Street episode where Paul Rudd gets frustrated that the princesses keep rescuing themselves again. I'm getting sick of this one (I think Toby is, too), but I love the message for girls in this one.

Okay. I should write something while Sesame Street finishes. Hmmm....

Yeah. To be honest, I'm not sure Caprica is going to play a big role in this. This isn't going to be Fleet-wide- not everyone's going to know exactly what's going on. And I also don't think this is a major AU for season 4.5. There will be some spots where it patches over, but the big events don't change too much because they really aren't related. So Caprica might vaguely know it's happening, and then have her hands full with her own problems that the show gave her.

Yeah, I know you're not a big fan of Caprica-Six in general so I don't see any reason she'd have to be a big player in this either. :) It's nothing that really affects her storyline at all.

It's actually more the second point than the first. I'm not her biggest fan, but she is an important character, and I can write her if I need to (she showed up a fair amount in my story last year, where she got to be a Marine and kick ass.) But yeah- I just don't see a big reason for her to get involved. (And for all that the rebel Cylons are around, to be honest, I don't think any of them will really know what's going on. They've got very little reason to care enough to find out, as does your average person on Galactica, especially since Racetrack and Narcho are doing a lot of their stuff on other ships.)
