Pick 3 TV Shows you like before reading the questions

1. Hannibal

2. The Walking Dead

3. Bates Motel

1. Who is your favorite character in 2? Daryl Dixon (though the Governor is a [horrible] close second)

2. Who is your least favorite character in 1? ...uuuuuhhh...y'know, I think anyone in the Hannibal fandom would understand if I just left this one at: It's complicated.

3. What’s your favorite episode of 1? So far, it's gotta be Fromage from season 1.  It's the episode that officially got me shipping Hannigraham.  (Btw, you have NO idea how bewildered I was that it took me--the Shipping Queen--that long to hop on board the SS Hannigraham.  Of course it makes sense now but...yeah, okay, I'm just rambling now.  Friggen murder husbands).  

4. What is your favorite season of 2? Season 3

5. What’s your favorite relationship in 3? So far, Norman and Emma's.

6. Who is your anti-relationship in 2? Rick x Michonne.  I'm sorry, I get why people ship it...but, honestly, I see a lot more potential in the maternal role that Michonne fills for Carl as it is, than I do in Rick and Michonne developing any sort of romantic relationship.  I don't feel like they need to go that extra step.  But...that's just me.  If you ship it, it's all cool.  :)

7. How long have you watched 1?  Since my friend Radiosity-33 got me hooked on it.  So...more or less since the beginning.

8. How did you become interested in 3? Simple: I'm a huge fan of the original Psycho.  I've been interested in Bates Motel (i.e. being able to see how Norman Bates became...Norman/Mother) from the moment I saw Hitchcock's original brilliant creation.

9. Who is your favorite actor in 3? Max Thieriot (aka the gorgeous Dylan Massett)

10. Which show do you prefer 1, 2, or 3? Oh god, what do I love more: cannibalism, zombies, or incest? ...Ummm...well, as horrible as it sounds, I love them all...but if I HAD to pick one and one alone...it's really a toss up between Hannibal and The Walking Dead, with a bit more of a lean towards Hannibal.  I can't help it--the characters there are so rich, so unpredictable, and the look of the show itself is just beautiful.  I think I'm a bit more vocal about The Walking Dead, but that's because...well...I have more people I can fangirl with there than I do with Hannibal.  Which, just as a random shout-out...if anyone reading this is a fan of any of these shows, PLEASE MESSAGE ME.  I need a larger therapy group--especially with a new episode of Hannibal coming out tomorrow/today.  ;)  

11. Which show have you seen more episodes of 1 or 3? 1, definitely.  I'm horribly behind on Bates Motel.  

12. If you could be anyone from 2, who would you be? Michonne, easily.  I can't even imagine being awesome enough to earn the (however sarcastic) nickname of "the samurai".  I'd love to know what it felt like, though!  

13. How would you kill off your favorite character in 3? ............Dylan's not allowed to die.  That's all there is to it.  (Though if he DID die...the 'brother relationship' fangirl in me kind of would want him to go out protecting Norman in some way.  Maybe trying to get through to Norman when he's in 'mommy mode', or even deciding to go back to his original plan of taking Norman away and he ends up getting offed by Norma.  Yeah.  Something like that--something highly unlikely.) 

14. Would a 1/3 crossover work?  ...Hannibal Lecter...as Norman Bates' psychologist.  .................Dear.  God.  (I kind of want this in my life) 

15. Pair two characters in 1 that would make an unlikely, but strangely okay couple Will Graham and Matthew Brown.  Because no one will ever convince me that ol' Matty boy didn't have a thing for Will, and Hannibal would never have let it fly (even if he hadn't gotten...what he got).  

16. Overall, which show has the better cast, 3 or 2?  I'm sure some people are going to be mad at me for this...but Max baby, for as much as I love you and Vera and Freddie..........The Walking Dead has Norman Reedus (and an entire cast that I just adore to the moon and back).  I'm sorry, this has to go to 2.  

I can play because I just invented the game, thus the rules are whatever I choose them to be as I move forward =p

And yes, I am absolutely capable of choosing my top three favorite Alias episodes.

1) Phase One. Because, you know, it's Phase One. With the fast pace and the epic takedown of the baddies and the amazeballs reveal of the Francinator and, oh yeah, all the kissing. KISSIES.

And, well, screw this, I have to do Top 5 because I can't do three.

2) Crossings. I just - with the awkward longing and the Vaughn trying to make her hate him and the North Koreans and, oh yeah, the David Anders using his American accent and JFC THE MOMENT IN THE NORTH KOREAN JAIL CELL. "We'll find each other. We'll always find each other." Just be the end of me already.

3) The Horizon. I have nothing to say about this beyond Sydney and Vaughn together again in her hallucinations, reliving all of the most memorable moments of their relationship from the past 4 seasons. It was just beautifully done, and so wonderful in the crapfest that was Season Five.

4) Truth Takes Time. I love you, Lena Olin. I LOVE YOU.

5) The Telling. I can't even. This episode was packed full of wonderment and mindfucking. Syd and Vaughn were so happily in love and beautiful in all their moments. Irina came back into my life, and I hold fast that Irina makes any episode better. Will finds out about Francinator. Sydney proves that Francie doesn't like coffee ice cream. Epic fight scene is epic. And then, you know, the cliffhanger that changed EVERYTHING. And left me sobbing in a state of shock and horror for far too long.
