If he'd said "crab boat" it would've been perfect.

Honestly, though, I did recently find out that I was born and raised in the fifth richest county in the country. Ye-eah... *fidgets under mink coat of privilege*

Anywho, meme! From zombres:

Comment with "Come at me, bro"
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions.

1. If you could make one slash or crack pairing canon, which would you choose?

Heh, well, knee-jerk answer would be Peter/Claude, from Heroes, had the show not run itself so deep into the ground it could taste mantle. Otherwise, how cool would it be if they really tried for Peter/Neal/El on White Collar? If they made a serious attempt at depicting a stable polyamorous relationship on television... that just so happened to include an FBI agent and a reformed(ish) con man? Also, I'm sure that if Lassiter on Psych was a woman, she and Shawn would be if not together, at least well into the "will they, won't they" phase. If they went for it, I would almost definitely start watching again. Same goes for House and Wilson.

2. Who's your favourite Doctor so far?

Hmm. Here I must admit that I've only made one attempt at watching Classic!Who. It was a Four episode, and... it really didn't do much for me, sad to say. Couldn't get a handle on the plot, the alien costumes were pathetically bad, it seemed to be about four hours long- it just didn't work. So, that said, between Nine, Ten, and Eleven... Eleven, quite honestly. I really think Matt Smith has done the best job of capturing the ancient, absurd, crazy, dorky, friendly, angry, sorrowful, hopeful, damaged, arrogant, fairy tale nature of the Doctor just a hair better than CE, and maybe two hairs better than Tennant.

3. You could pick one old movie to have a big budget remake: which would you choose and who would you cast?

Okay, I thought about this a lot when I was supposed to be working today, and I decided on Holiday. The cast for my version would be:
Johnny Case... Brendan Hines (someone appropriately "aw shucks," but with some fire in him)
Linda Seton... Michelle Monaghan (someone with a lot more fire in her, but not incapable of insecurity)
Julia Seton... Kirsten Dunst (all nice and delicate on the outside, but sharp on the inside)
Ned Seton... Alan Tudyk (he could handle Neddy's sarcastic one-liners, along with the quiet booze-soaked desperation)
Edward Seton... Bob Gunton (I was looking for someone... obtuse)
Nick Potter... Stephen Rea (rumpled and hangdog and funny- check, check, and check)
Susan Elliott Potter... Penelope Wilton (sweet and sly and maternal- check, check, and check)

4. What's your dream job?

*sigh* What a depressing question in this day and age. If I'd applied myself in high school and college, I might actually have a job like that. An editor for fiction novels, that always seemed like it'd be pretty awesome.

5. What superpower would you like to have the most?

Stop time. Mostly just so I could read the books and watch the movies/TV and listen to the music/podcasts and cook the food I've been meaning to, but yeah.

Oh, completely. Shawn would have already gotten into those tailored pants by now if Lassiter had been a girl.

Here I must admit that I've only made one attempt at watching Classic!Who.

I have only watched Two from Classic!Who. It's hard to get past the sheer corniness.

Okay, I thought about this a lot when I was supposed to be working today, and I decided on Holiday.

I must confess: I hope that film is never remade. /laugh/ Sorry! But the chemistry between Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn couldn't be duplicated and i'm afraid everything else would seem stale in comparison. I'd much rather see something that failed in the past attempted now, if only because it would have to be improved.

I suppose: Come at me, bro.

It totally should have been crab boat

Seriously, does Maryland really have that reputation for being rich? I would've gone with Connecticut for that.

Come at me bro!

I'm not sure if I would have wanted Peter/Claude to be canon on Heroes, if only because they regularly did such a good job at ruining pairings I actually liked. I would've liked to make more interaction and/or friendship canon, but actual relationship, nooo. I do think Peter/El/Neal would be great to see played out; even if it wasn't functional (because there's enough trust issues to keep it from being fully functional), it would be basically what's on screen anyway, with less need for female guest stars to hook up with Neal.

I'm not sure who I would pick, between Eleven and Nine, but I do think the Eleven episodes are more enjoyable on their own merits.

I've been wondering if I could use time-stopping to catch up on my sleep. Probably not, right? You'd have to be conscious. Hmm. Anyway.

Oh, Maryland. I would tend to think of Connecticut more for yuppie/snobby sorts, but Maryland would fit too. At least we aren't just known for Baltimore's crime rate, right?

(But seriously... he said lobster? That's Maine, hon.)

Come at me, bro!

I saw that video yesterday! Hey, consider yourself lucky---I got this: "We're number 1!...In meth." And it's completely true. Winter's Bone was written by a Missouri native...

Yeah, I haven't seen much Classic!Who, either (mainly Four and Seven). The special effects are...a bit hard to stomach in this day and age. I think I agree with you about Eleven---I think he and Nine tie for my favorite Doctor.

had the show not run itself so deep into the ground it could taste mantle.

That is the perfect way to describe Heroes. I honestly have no clue what the writers were thinking during those last two seasons.

GREAT ANSWERS ARE GREAT.

Also: COME AT ME, BRO. :D

56,000 square acres of dull? did he forget we're where MO goes to hide its meth? :p

LOL, that state thing was pretty true. Especially the Florida one. Though I don't know if people would understand it if they've never lived here.

I would want teleportation as a power. Mostly because I like to travel but hate airplanes.

I just told visiblemarket to come at me! But you can come at me too and I'll do a mega post.
