Hm...I'll pick Dean.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I love and adore Dean Winchester. Because he's Dean friggin' Winchester.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Umm -- yeah.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Dean breaks my heart as well, but in a different way. He's so selfless when it comes to his family, and when he turns into a self-depricating mess, I just want to take him home with me and make him feel better.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I love it. A lot.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
I'm a big Dean/Layla shipper, and I also ship Dean/Bela, and Dean/Cassie.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I'd totally jump him.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Absolutely.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Yes. Dean's hotass -- the eyecandy on Supernatural alone is enough of a reason to watch the show.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Yup!

I'll go with Sam

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I love Sam. It wouldn't be Supernatural without him, and he always makes me either want to laugh or cry.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Sam's the Antichrist.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Sammy breaks my heart most times. Especially this season.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I love it. More than some of my other fandoms at this point.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
Well, I love Dean and Sam's brotherly relationship. I am a big Sam/Sarah shipper, and I'm beginning to like Sam/Ruby a bit as well. And the cracktastic-ness of Sam/Bela, especially after 310.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
At this point, no. When he was younger, I would have probably liked him sooner if he was a little less emo, but now he seems to have balanced out.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I would love Sam. I would probably think he's adorable and want to take him home with me.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Oh, definitely. Especially after season 2 and 3.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Absolutely. I always tell people that the brothers will break your heart, which is what I love about them.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Definitely.

Because I my as well be predictable.

Juliet - Lost

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I love Juliet. She's five kinds of awesome.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Somewhat, I think? She's complicated, but the story could be told without her.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Elizabeth is such a fabulous actress. Her character gets me every time.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
It gives me good headaches.

Jack/Juliet all the way.

I don't think she's one of my all-time favorites, but she's pretty awesome.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Absolutely.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Probably not among the Jack/Kate fans, but I think she does okay.

Two characters, if I may: Mal Reynolds (Firefly/Serenity) and Shawn Spencer (Psych.)

I think I might do this meme as well... After all, I have to find some reason to put off reading The War of the Worlds.

Mal:

I love Mal. He's not my favorite on the show, but he's a lot of fun to watch.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Umm -- yeah.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
I love Mal's love for his ship. It rivals that of Dean and his car.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I love Firefly. It's one of my favorite fandoms that didn't get a fighting chance.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
Kind of Mal/Inara -- but not really.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
I'm a bit of a Shawn/Juliet shipper, but I adore the relationship between Shawn and Gus -- platonicly speaking.

Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I would so jump Shawn. Seriously. Or at least talk with him for a long time.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Definitely.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?

I'd assume so.

(deleted comment)

I like Kate. I think she's an interesting character, and she's got a really neat backstory.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Nope. Frankly any person on that show is expendable.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
I relate rather well to Kate, actually. Though we don't really have much in common.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I love Lost. It gives me the good headaches.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
Sawyer/Kate. All the way.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
...honestly? The way she flits between Jack and Sawyer pisses me off. I wish she would just pick one and stick with it.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)

I think she's one of my favorites, but not all-time. Not yet.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Not so much.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
I'd assume so.

Jayne.

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Jayne is my favorite Firefly character. Period.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Not necessarily, but I always enjoy when he's on screen.

Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I'd probably hate him. Or at least be mildly annoyed by him.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Definitely.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Absolutely.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
I'm going to assume there's fandom love for Jayne, but I don't really know.

I think there's a fandom love for all of them. Jayne is awesome.

I'd hope so. They're all such awesome characters.

Foreman.

If I can pick two, add John Casey in there too. ;)

Edited 2008-03-11 22:32 (UTC)

Foreman:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Foreman is a pompus ass. But I love him a lot.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
He was in the earlier seasons, but now he's just meant to balance out House.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Any scenes with Foreman and his mom always gets to me. Otherwise -- he's still an ass.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I love House. It's one of my favorite shows.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
I don't really ship him with anyone, but I find his dynamic with House interesting.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Nope -- I like that he's an asshole.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I'd probably hate him, because he is an ass.

I love him, but not really.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Not really.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
He doesn't get nearly as much love as he should.

Casey:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
Aside from Chuck himself, he's the reason I watch.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Well, not really -- Chuck's the plot.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Not necessarily. But Casey isn't really the emotion of the show.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I'm not really that involved in Chuck, but I think it's cute.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
I'm a Casey/Sara shipper, actually.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
He'd probably amuse me, but I don't think we'd be close.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Not really, but any time Adam Baldwin's on TV, I tend to watch. Even though he tend to be a show killer.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
I'm not really involved, but I think so.

I'm horrible. I want three. Lindsay from NY, and Green and...Lupo, I think his name is. The character Jeremy Sisto plays on L&O.

for some reason I think that Lupo is total mancandy

He is. Especially up close: I met him when I was 14, not that long after Clueless came out. He's a real sweetheart. Let me sit in his chair and watch them film scenes in White Squall" and everything. Well, him and David Lascher and Scott Wolfe.

Lindsay:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I like Lindsay. She's growing back on me, but she can be so inconsistent as a character that it's hard. I'm holding out for her though. If the writers can pull together something concrete for her, she would be an awesome character.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Not really.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
I can on some levels, but on others not so much.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
CSI:NY is My Show. I love it.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
I'm still a Flack/Lindsay shipper, but I ship her with Hawkes too.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
I'd rewrite her season three storyline completely. In my opinion, the writer's massacred her character, which made me sad.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I think we'd get along. Lindsay's pretty easy to get along with on a day to day coworker sense -- it's getting deeper that's harder.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
No, not really.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
No. NY has stronger characters I like more -- I would probably warn that Lindsay's characterization is inconsistent though.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
Not so much, mostly because of the reasons stated above.

Green:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I love Green. Because he's Green and he's complicated, and I like the fact that he's more emotional than by the book.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Yup.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
Very much so.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I'm not that involved in Law and Order, actually. But I love the show.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
Not with anyone on the show. But I have my crossover ideas.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Not have him leave this season? As much as I love Anthony Anderson, I'm going to miss Jesse Martin.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I think we'd get along on a superficial level, but other than that -- yeah.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Not really, but he's pretty close.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Definitely.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
All the fans that I know.

And Lupo is in the next comment because this one was too long.

Lupo:

1) What is your opinion of this character? If you like, explain why you like him/her. Likewise if you dislike the character.
I like Lupo. I think he's an interesting addition to the show.

2) Is he/she important to the general plot?
Yup.

3) Can you relate to this character at all? Do they grip you emotionally?
He hasn't been around long enough yet.

4) How much do you like the fandom that this character comes from?
I like L&O a bit.

5) Do you ship this character with any other character? Or, are you particularly intrigued by their relationship with any other character(s)? (romance or platonic)
Not yet. Well, not with a person that's currently on the show. I ship a bit of Lupo/Cassady, but that's another story.

6) Is there anything about the character you would change?
Nope.

7) If you were in the fandom with this character or knew this character in real life, how do you see yourself interacting with him/her? (Would you get along well? Fall in love with? Dislike? Friendly rivalry? etc etc)
I think we would be awkward around each other, but that's just me.

8) Does this character make the cut as one of your all time favorites (if you like) or least favorites?
Dunno yet.

9) Would you hype up this character (if you like) or warn about (if you dislike) to someone whose new to the fandom?
Yeah, I think so. Because he's an important aspect of the show.

10) Is this character popular with the fanbase?
No idea. But all my L&O friends seem to like him.

As much as I love Anthony Anderson, I'm going to miss Jesse Martin.

I know! It makes me want to cry...

Since you're taking more characters, I'd like to know about Inara Serra, Bela Talbot and Noah Bennett. And feel free to ask me for more characters, too. I have 14 more to answer for, but I'd like more.
