3) have you ever quit a show before it finished? why?

4) what's your comfort show?

14) have you ever written fanfiction for a TV show?

[frelling_tralk]

14. Nope, but I’ve certainly read a ton of it! *g* I did use to create fan videos years ago though, but that’s about the extent of my fandom creativity, and certainly they were never anything like the amazing editing you see today, more just basic slapping some clips together

And I answered #3 and #4 a few comments up :)

20. are you a fan of will-they-won’t-they plots?

28. do you use subtitles while watching TV if you can?

40. what do you think is a good amount of seasons for a TV show?

[frelling_tralk]

20. I am actually. I know that a lot of people get annoyed with them now if they get too stretched out, but I do tend to find myself rooting for a coupe more if there’s been a long buildup to them getting together. Although I get fed up if couples keep breaking up and going on/off all the time, or if the reasons for them not being together makes no sense, but if it’s done right then I’m usually a fan of those plots. The season 3 build-up to Joey and Pacey in Dawson’s Creek is an example of one that really got me invested and dying to see them together, whereas a lot of shows these days will pair off a couple in no time at all, and that’s not really the same to me

28. I don’t, but I probably should! Sometimes I put them on temporarily if I have rewound a scene a few times and still can’t catch what was said, but generally I find it distracting to have them on all the time.

40. It’s hard to come up with an exact number as it depends on the show, but I guess around four-five seasons?

24 & 35 ♥

24. I think that Jodie Comer deserves one for Killing Eve, it’s a shame how much she has been overlooked so far just because she doesn’t have as much name recognition in America as her co-star. I know that some of Sandra Oh fans are starting to get really annoyed now at how much everyone keeps harping on it, but well it IS a ridiculous discrepancy frankly that there are two equally talented co-leads, and yet only one is winning many awards at all, Jodie frequently isn’t even getting nominated which is just ridiculous

Also I’m really bitter on Amy Adam’s behalf that she hasn’t had more awards love for Sharp Objects

35. Hmm I guess it depends on the show. Honestly I don’t like really long episodes because sometimes they can drag a bit, and some Netflix shows do tend to be badly paced in that respect when they don’t have any rules about needing to tighten things up and edit down to an exact length. Most shows are around 40-45 minutes, and I guess that’s about the right length for me. I’m also happy with 25-30 minute episodes though,

I looove these questions, they're so fun!

19, 23, 25 :)

19. Probably yet another show centred around an action heroine kicking everyones ass! Something like Nikita, Buffy, Alias, Dark Angel etc etc, those are usually my favourite kinds of shows

23. I would say Buffy and X-Files, both theme songs are so iconic that you instantly find yourself recognising them and bopping along if you hear them in a ringtone. It’s a real shame that most shows have dropped opening credits and theme songs now

25. I...can’t really think of any? Well I guess maybe Anthony Hopkins or Jodie Foster lol, it would be kind of cool if they made a cameo appearance in a new season of Hannibal

[sictransits]

2. if you could have saved one TV show from cancellation, which one would it be?

23. favourite TV show theme song?

[frelling_tralk]

2. Well I have a fairly long list there *g* First one that springs to mind is Hannibal, there’s been so many hints about what season 4 was going to explore with Will Graham and his relationship with Hannibal that I would kill for another season of that show.

And also Dollhouse! I think it’s a real shame how quickly they had to rush through everything in the second season, you could tell that some of those plots had been intented to be gradually build up over 5-7 years, and instead Echo for example suddenly became someone with full self-awareness in the course of two episodes. It felt like they sadly had to skip and rush through a lot of cool stuff in order to get to the intended endpoint in 13 episodes

23. Answered above as well, it’s Buffy and X-Files :)
