I was tagged by @blodreina-noumou​ to answer some questions about my favourite TV shows, so I’ll list my favourite shows and take it from there!

Doctor Who The 100 12 Monkeys Smallville The Musketeers

Who is your favorite character in 2?

I mean...there’s no real contest here for who my favourite character is from The 100. Everybody here knows my brand! Emori kom Spacekru, of course!

Who is your least favorite character in 1?

Oooooh...least favourite Doctor Who character...that’s a challenge since the series has a whole host of memorable, lovable characters, but if I had to choose...I’d say Simm’s Master. His type of villainy and character is best enjoyed in small doses because characters who’re constantly going over the top are grating on the nerves for me.

What is your favorite episode of 4?

Smallville ran for so long, it’s hard to choose just one, but if you were to twist my arm around...I’d probably go for Homecoming. It’s got a little bit of everything in it and it’s one of the best written episodes of the whole series. Poignant stuff!

What is your favorite season of 5?

The first season of The Musketeers is the series’ strongest season in my eyes(thanks to the stellar performance of Peter Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu). The cinematography is wonderfully staged, the fight scenes are bracing, the characters are all well serviced throughout the episodes, getting amazing moments to shine, the music is well scored, providing the perfect panache...just all out amazing stuff!

Who is your favorite couple in 3?

It’s been a good long time since the main characters of a show have been my favourite couple, but 12 Monkeys did it right with Cassie and James. They work well off of each other, are both strongly written characters so they’re on equal footing, and well...are really pretty to look at!

Who is your favorite couple in 2?

Look at how beautiful they are...they should have sent a poet! John Murphy and Emori kom Spacekru are THE romance from The 100. They’ve had the most romantic scenes in the show and have constantly surprised us at every turn. I adore them!

What is your favorite episode of 1?

My favourite episodes(a three part story spanning three episodes) of Doctor Who are the last three episodes of Clara Oswald’s time in the TARDIS. Face the Raven, Heaven Sent, and Hell Bent. These episodes are a tour de force of high stakes emotion, beautiful performances, epic music, all culminating in one of the saddest goodbyes the Doctor’s ever had with one of his companions. Clara’s last story’s beautifully cathartic.

What is your favorite episode of 5?

Through a Glass Darkly, hands down, is the best episode of The Musketeers. Every element of that episode is so tight and crisp. The one off villain for the episode’s enthralling, the romance is at its height, the acting’s on point, and the scenery’s dessert for the eyes.

What is your favorite season of 2?

Yes, the season was weighed down by a lot of controversy, but my favourite season of The 100 is the third season. ALIE’s my favourite villain of the story(I’m a huge Terminator fan and she was giving me major Skynet vibes, so I dug into it), it fully introduced Emori while also beginning Memori’s epic love story, getting to see people acting possessed is always a fun fright, and we got into the history of how the world got blown up in the first place. So overall, the third’s my favourite.

How long have you watched 1?

I’ve been watching Doctor Who ever since 2011 and I haven’t looked back since. It’s the holy grail in terms of sci-fi. The Doctor can look like anyone and sound like anyone, the companion can look and sound like anyone, and come from any place in time and space...and the coolest thing of all? Thanks to the TARDIS being able to travel anywhere in space and time, a Doctor Who story can be about ANYTHING! There’s no limits to Doctor Who, and so, therefore, it can go on forever!

How did you become interested in 3?

I became interested in 12 Monkeys when a friend of mine(she knows who she is! 😉), brought it up while discussing one of the actors who worked on the show. When I saw that it was about time travel, I dived right the fuck in since time travel’s one of my favourite sci-fi story engines, and I blazed right through it in under a week. I highly recommend watching it!

Who is your favorite actor in 4?

Erica Durance is without a doubt the strongest actor from Smallville. I couldn’t have asked for a better Lois Lane. Whenever I picture Lois in my head, it’s her face I envision!

Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?

Doctor Who. It’s pure, unfiltered comfort. No matter how terrifying and no matter how sad it gets, the series will more often than not end the episode off on hopeful note. 

Which show have you seen more episodes of, 1 or 3 ?

I’ve definitely seen more episodes of Doctor Who than 12 Monkeys considering how 12 Monkeys’ run is massively short compared to that of Doctor Who’s!

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

She’s a badass journalist who gets results while also getting her beautiful self worshiped by Clark Kent every night. Better believe I wanna be Lois!

Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?

Smallville and 12 Monkeys? Better believe it could, what with Clark having access to the Legion Ring. It would be really great to see Clark helping James Cole repair the broken timeline!

Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple.

They didn’t meet, but I went through a period of time where I got really into shipping Rose and Clara together. The notion of the two companions I had the biggest crush on becoming a couple and such was too tantalizing to pass up!

Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?

Why must you do this to me?! 12 Monkeys and The Musketeers were consistently written across the board, but if you had to grab me by the scruff, I’d say 12 Monkeys since time travel’s a bitch to nail down properly and they pulled it off!

Which has the better theme music, 2 or 4?

Let’s make this one a tie. They’re both so different from each other considering one’s about the origin story of Superman and the other’s about humanity’s desperate survival, conveying separate themes and emotions entirely. I love both!
