arethinn: Bastian from the Neverending Story with book, text "can't talk, dorking" (geeky (bastian dorking))
I watch zippity-doo-bugger-all television these days, so I had to make up the difference with book fandoms. This is one of those "pick x answers without looking at the questions; ready, set, go!" types of memes.

1. Hitchhiker's Guide, 2. MST3K, 3. Red Dwarf, 4. Harry Potter, 5. Star Trek, 6. Space Ghost


01. Who is your favourite character from #2 (MST3K)?
Crow T. Robot.

02. Who is your least favourite character from #4 (Harry Potter)?
As in "I do not enjoy reading about this character"? Possibly Hagrid. I think I've said Ginny in the past and I don't really like Hermione either, but I never find myself saying "oh, just shut up and get off the page" to either of them, I don't think.

03. What would a crossover between #1 (HHG) and #5 (Star Trek) include?
Clashing ideas of the physics of space travel. A fight between Captain Kirk and Zaphod Beeblebrox. Long, droning discussions between Data and Marvin. Cold looks between Deanna Troi and Trillian. Arthur Dent and Lieutenant Barclay would become best (if stammering and confused) mates. Ford would continue to be unfazed by anything.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] enotsola adds, " Data commits suicide after talking to Marvin... Troi commits suicide after being in the same ship as Marvin."

04. Who is your favourite ship from #6 (Space Ghost)?
I'm sure there's Space Ghost slash fic out there somewhere, but there's no in-canon shipping, unless you count Space Ghost trying to hit on some of the women guests. (Oh dear lord. Zorak/Moltar slash? Well, I've said it; if it didn't already exist, I've now called it into being.)

Actually, wait – I think Zorak managed to succeed with Merrill Marcoe, and then there was "Urges", where he went to some kind of praying-mantis mating party, and hit on someone who turned out to be a guy in drag, who was part of some underground organization helping male mantises not to get their heads bitten off, or something, and in the end they just drank beer and watched football.

Uh. Well, yeah. I'm gonna go with that one.

05. If you were to set one person from #3 (Red Dwarf) and one person from #6 (Space Ghost) on a blind date, who would they be?
Oo er. Well, Spacey is probably going to strike out big time with Krissie, but there you go.

06. If you could meet one person from #4 (Harry Potter) and spend the day with them, who would it be, and what would you do?
*cough* *snicker* That depends; does the Snarkmeister willingly acquiesce to my ideas? ;) Whatever we wind up doing, it probably shouldn't involve being here in California. There's a dreadful shortage of actual pubs, and while Muggles are bizarre everywhere, we really take the biscuit. Dude's got enough problems without inflicting San Francisco on him as well.

07. If you could change one thing about #2 (MST3K)'s plot line, what would you change?
Take it out. All that business where they actually tried to have a continuing plotline in the 8th-10th seasons was rubbish.

08. Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5 (Star Trek), and why you like the relationship between them.
I like what goes on between Picard and Dr. Crusher. They manage to love each other and acknowledge attraction without being in love with each other or doing much of anything about said attraction. It's a good example of what I call "fondness" when I feel it for someone else.

09. If the lead title characters (first name in the credits) from #1 (HHG) and #3 (Red Dwarf) were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?
That's Dave Lister and... I guess Arthur. Um. Sorry, Dave.

10. If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4 (Harry Potter), what order would you choose?
How do I translate this into book meaning? "Severus Snape and the... "?

11. If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline for #6 (Space Ghost), what would the character be like, and what would their role be?
I don't think the Holy Trinity of Space Ghost, Zorak, and Moltar can really be messed with (in terms of introducing another regular, not just a recurring. ALL HAIL BRAAAAAK!)

12. What happens in your favourite episode of show #2 (MST3K)?
Oh man. Which one is actually my favourite, out of nearly two hundred? Pass, pass. It's probably in either the second, fourth, fifth, or eighth seasons, though.

13. If you could kill off one of the characters in #1 (HHG), who would it be and how would you do it?
O.O Why the heck would I want to do that?

14. If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 (Red Dwarf) or show #5 (Star Trek), which would you choose?
#3, totally.

15. If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person?
I don't think Severus and I would be destined to work out (the question really would be what would he see in me? and I think I am at a disadvantage by not having truly red hair and green eyes), but he's the only character out of all this that I am actually attracted to, unless you count my high school squee over Dr. Bashir (and that was the actor, not the character) or the fact that I still think sleepy-eyed Joel is a cutie. So Severus would win by default anyway.
