TV show meme - Day 27

( The first 26 days )

Day 27 - Best pilot episode

This is an easy one: Lost had an amazing pilot episode that caught my imagination from the opening scene. I don't think I've ever seen another series that had such a strong beginning. Most tend to take a while before they really start to show their true potential, but with Lost it was instantaneous.

Top Ten Male Characters

A list!

My top ten favourite male characters of all time (TV shows):

1. Spike (BtVS)
2. Desmond Hume (Lost)
3. Fox Mulder (The X-Files)
4. Eric Northman (True Blood)
5. Damon Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries)
6. Gene Hunt (Life on Mars - UK)
7. The Doctor (Doctor Who)
8. Angel (AtS)
9. Dean Winchester (Supernatural)
10. Sam Tyler (Life on Mars - UK)

And just because I don't want to leave them out, the next five would be:

11. Castiel (Supernatural)
12. John Crichton (Farscape)
13. Bill Compton (True Blood)
14. Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap)
15. Daniel Faraday (Lost)

This is by no means a definitive list, and is likely to change at any given time. The only two that I can't see changing positions any time soon are Spike and Desmond. :)

Top Ten Female Characters

Another list!

My top ten favourite female characters (TV shows):

1. Buffy Summers (BtVS)
2. Aeryn Sun (Farscape)
3. Dana Scully (The X-Files)
4. Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
5. Erica Strange (Being Erica)
6. Jessica Hamby (True Blood)
7. River Song (Doctor Who)
8. Kima Greggs (The Wire)
9. Alicia Florick (The Good Wife)
10. Elena Gilbert (The Vampire Diaries)

As before this is by no means a definitive list, and is likely to change at any time. If you're wondering why Sookie Stackhouse isn't on the list, it isn't that I don't like her (I do), it's just that she isn't quite as interesting (to me) as the other women on my list.

Top Ten Ships

Last list of the day. :)

My Top Ten Favourite 'Ships (romantic, friendship and other...)

1. Buffy/Spike (BtVS)
2. Desmond/Penny (Lost)
3. Aeryn/John (Farscape)
4. Mulder/Scully (The X-Files)
5. Jason/Andy (True Blood) *g*
6. Erica/Kai (Being Erica)
7. Spike/Angel (AtS)
8. Mitchell/George (Being Human)
9. Jessica/Hoyt (True Blood)
10. Sawyer/Juliet (Lost)

Honorary mentions:

Damon/Elena (The Vampire Diaries) - my favourite new 'ship of the year.
Gene/Sam (Life on Mars - UK)
Eric/Sookie (True Blood)
Eric/Bill (True Blood)
Bill/Sookie (True Blood)

And because I failed to mention them on my favourite male character list, my favourite new characters are:

Lafayette (True Blood)
Jason Stackhouse (True Blood)

To be honest, I can't really think of any characters from True Blood that I don't like - apart from Maryann, that is. :D
