@brambleberrycottage tagged me in this - thank you!

Rules: Pick 5 shows, then answer the following questions. Don’t cheat. Tag some people.

Picking the last five things I watched, in reverse order.

Teen Wolf

Merlin

Stranger Things

The Office

The Good Place

[disclaimer: I haven’t finished the third season of Stranger Things or anything past season 4 of Teen Wolf, so please avoid talking to me about anything past those points; thanks!]

Who is your favorite character in 2?

MERLIN. NO QUESTION.

Who is your least favorite character in 1?

Right, so, in the first three seasons of Teen Wolf, I love everybody, including the villains (like, Gerard is my least favorite person in terms of ‘he’s awful,’ but he literally is Teen Wolf’s best villain and an amazing character.)

Season 4, though...I really had trouble with Liam (and his friend - what was his friend’s name? i’ve only seen this season once, like two/three years ago), because they were so clearly just…copy-pasted versions of Jackson and Danny and I just…was frustrated by it. It was irritating enough that I couldn’t really emotionally connect with them.

What is your favorite episode of 4?

Oh, geez, just one? Basically all of Season 7 - Counseling, China, Threat Level Midnight, Sex Ed come to mind as some amazing ones…oh, and Murder and Koi Pond from Season 6. And I actually adore the first 2/3 of Season 8, which might be an unpopular opinion; I’m not familiar with The Office’s fandom or its critical reception, lol; but The Incentive and Garden Party are two of my favorite episodes.

What is your favorite season of 5?

I don’t think I have one! They were all consistently good (rare in tv), and I enjoyed them all equally.

Who is your favorite couple in 3?

Stranger Things is the first time in my life that I watched a piece of media and went, “OT3!” Nancy/Jonathan vs. Nancy/Steve is nonsense - all three of them make the BEST team ever and I wish they could all just be buddies.

Who is your favorite couple in 2?

None. I like the canon pairings that we see just fine, but my favorite thing about Merlin is how non-focused on romance its main character is, so I don’t focus on that at all when I watch that show.

(silly answer - Uther/Catrina XD)

What is your favorite episode of 1?

IMPOSSIBLE. ughhhhhh um. In Season 1? The Tell. In Season 2? Battlefields, but barely; I mean, Season 2 of Teen Wolf is honestly just some of the best tv I’ve ever seen all the way through.

What is your favorite episode of 5?

I’ve only watched The Good Place once, so unfortunately I don’t remember the episodes with enough separation to answer this well. One that stands out to me is the one in Season 2 where Michael has his existential crisis - that was both funny and incredibly poignant.

What is your favorite season of 2?

Season 2 and 3 of Merlin are probably tied for this.

How long have you watched 1?

I started Teen Wolf in 2015…………and I still haven’t finished it, lol.

How did you become interested in 3?

I’d obviously heard the general hype when Stranger Things came out, and I had multiple people at work tell me multiple times that it was exactly the kind of thing I would like. I believed them; it just took me a really long time to get to it, because I’m slow about TV.

Who is your favorite actor in 4?

Every single person in this show is killing it. Steve Carrell and Rainn Wilson, though...wow.

Which do you prefer, 1, 2, or 5?

Merlin and Teen Wolf are equally important to me, in different ways, so they’re tied. The Good Place was more something I just watched for fun (and which I thoroughly enjoyed, but I don’t have the same intimate connection to it).

Which show have you seen more episodes of - 1 or 3?

Teen Wolf. I’ve watched seasons 1-4. Stranger Things I’ve only seen the first two seasons.

If you could be anyone from 4, who would you be?

Lol, um, I don’t think I would want to be anybody from The Office, exactly. I just like watching their silliness.

Would a crossover between 3 and 4 work?

Stranger Things x The Office LMAO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT

Pair two characters in 1 who would make an unlikely but strangely okay couple?

I can’t, sorry. XD My brain just doesn’t work that way. It has no gas for shipping; it gives up immediately when I try to think about it. The interest factor is zero. XD

Overall, which show has the better storyline, 3 or 5?

I haven’t finished Stranger Things yet, so I’m not sure I can answer appropriately. If I were just judging by Season 1 of Stranger Things vs. all four seasons of The Good Place, I would have said they were equal. But I was really disappointed by Stranger Things’ lack of focus and inconsistent character development in S2, so I’m gonna go with The Good Place, which had a strong story and a clear arc for the entirety of its run. That show knew exactly where it was going from the very first episode, and you can feel that when you watch it. I’m not sure Stranger Things has any idea what their ultimate endgame is.

Which has better theme music, 2 or 4?

Merlin vs. The Office - I mean, they basically can’t be compared in any meaningful way. They’re on two completely separate planes of existence. Both equally burned into my brain, though. XD
