New Meme!

[seawasp]

I thought about doing the "Guess My Favorite Character" meme, but realized the problem is that in many shows I don't HAVE a single favorite character.

So instead, I'm making a different meme.

Rules are pretty simple. I list off ... let's say 10 TV shows. You guys try to guess my favorite scene or event in the show. When you succeed, I cross it off the list and discuss why I like that scene and ALSO mention one or two other scenes which were "close seconds" to that one.

EDIT Note: Yes, I understand this one is harder for y'all. *evil laugh* However, at least it's possible for me to ANSWER, which the other one wasn't (f'rinstance, which character is my favorite in B5 varies between not two, but at least four or five, characters)

Here we go!

1. Babylon 5 (Useful Hint: probably NOT one of the commonly listed scenes.)

2. Star Trek (Original Series)

3. Saint Seiya Hey, that's cheating, finding the answer on the Net. Yes, Shiryu VS Gold Saint Cancer, when Cancer's just dumped Shiryu's girlfriend (telekinetically) off a cliff and this causes Shiryu to reach deep into his back pocket and uncork an economy-sized can of whupass. I love the music for that scene, the utterly terrified look on Cancer's face as he says to himself "where's this power COMING from? It's greater than anything I've ever felt!" (when Shiryu was supposed to be just a piddly bronze).
Other seriously cool scenes that compete with it are Shiryu VS Black Dragon (well, Shiryu IS the coolest of the Bronzes) and the Return of Phoenix.

4. Vision of Escaflowne

5. Stargate SG-1

6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer

7. Airwolf

8. Dragonball Z (Useful Hint: Gohan features in this scene)

9. Nadia: Secret of Blue Water

10. Yoroiden Samurai Troopers

Heh. Not so long ago I googled for something on Saint Seiya and one of results was precisely about your favourite scene. So if it haven's changed since then, for No.3 answer is Deathmask vs Shiryu in (under?) Cancer Temple.

Dude, that's hundreds of hours of television to choose from! So I'll choose something totally at random from ST:TOS: Kirk lets Edith Keeler die.

Ok, I'll guess B5 : The scene where Delenn and friends in Minbari cruisers face down the Earth heavy destroyer-type ships (ship class temporarily forgotten).

(and Googling (only for the quote) says :

Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else.

Well, the only one of the 10 that I've seen all of is #10.

Guesses --

YST -- Kaos making the Yoroi.

Babylon 5 -- Vir answering Morden's question.

Dragonball Z -- Piccolo sacrificing himself to save Gohan.

This is much harder than picking a character, IMPNSHO. Actually, I hate picking a favorite anything; I like lots of things, how do you rank #1? Feh.

Anyway, as Buffy is far and away the one with which I have the most familiarity (have seen every episode, and own everything except Season 1), let me come up with a guess:

"Graduation Day, Part 2", where the entire Sunnydale High Class of '99 throws off their gowns and pulls out their weapons to fight The Mayor.

If I'm wrong, I'm going for something with the Nerdly Trio as a backup. Haven't decided what yet.

P.S.: I have so many favorites, including at least one that I am *POSITIVE* that you don't like at all.


P.S.: Is Saint Seiya

Vision of Escaflowne: the confrontation between Folken and Van at the ruins?

(for me, picking a favorite Escaflowne scene would be impossible. and I need to watch that again soooo bad. is my favorite anime ever.)

You shouldve added a # 11
