Here we are now: entertain us!
Date: 2005-12-17 12:48 pm (UTC)I've never read/seen/heard of nos. 8-20, so I'm skipping them; as for the rest:
1. Father Dougal
2. Would it perhaps be Spike? :-)
3. See no. 2
4. I'll resist my instinct to say Marvin, since that's just me projecting, and guess (given your Anglophilia) Arthur Dent
5. Aha! Reepicheep! (Crap, I can't even remember how to spell it!) Or Puddleglum...
6. Actually I never watched it
7. Han Solo?
Re: Here we are now: entertain us!
Date: 2005-12-17 12:56 pm (UTC)minuteshours.1. Father Dougal
Ha. No.
2. Would it perhaps be Spike?
How ever did you guess? ;-)
3. See no. 2
No, actually picked a different one there, mostly because I like to pretend that the fifth season of AtS doesn't exist.
No to 4 & 5--
6. Actually I never watched it
Ahh! How is this possible???
7. Han Solo?
Oui!

Date: 2005-12-17 01:17 pm (UTC)OK, I cheated on 3.; how about that Irish bloke then that they killed half-way through the first season?
I never got into the X Files because I was afraid that my nerd quotient was already too high; I did watch an episode or two over the years, but I wasn't hooked (perhaps the ones I saw were just from bad seasons, but I didn't see what the fuss was about).
I did actually see the X-Men movie; were you one of those Wolverine groupies? And (since I have occasionally been known to look at Calvin and Hobbes), I'll guess Hobbes on 17.
I'm going to be away from e-mail for the rest of the day, so you don't need to reply to comments like whoa...

Date: 2005-12-17 01:44 pm (UTC)Um...because he's a frood who really knows where his towel is? What's not to love?
There's no such thing has having too high a nerd quotient, or so I will continue to tell myself. But yeah, X-Files as much as I loved it, was very iffy--if you were to just randomly watch an episode, it could either be awful or wonderful, equal chance. But when it was good, it was very, very good.
No to Doyle, yes to Wolverine, and yes to Hobbes, although
Re: Here we are now: entertain us!
Date: 2005-12-19 12:31 pm (UTC)OK, good point.
You're not the only one to say that the X-Files, at its best, was really good; I suppose I just lost in the episode lottery (if you can follow that twisted metaphor...), and never quite had the confidence to turn into an obsessive fan of yet another thing and watch the whole series until I found the good bits. Also, this was, like, so last century, in the Days of Yore with no DVDs or NetFlix -- so tracking down the whole series actually required effort and dedication!
