Top three most loved and top three most despised moments in television for the decade? A book that changed your life? for [profile] thymejot

My instincts is to go as far back as Buffy only to realize they're not in the decade!

Top 3 Most Loved moments in Television

  • The ending of Contingency and Bad Code, I had chills through all the flashback and the revelation that Nathan's death could have been preventable but like a Greek Tragedy, choices and chance meant that he would die.
  • Sarah Shahi as Shaw, the whole ending sequence of Relevance, I had chills.
  • Not a moment but the whole episode of RAM in Person of Interest, I love circular storytelling and finally getting the full backstory of how everything connected.

I just remembered how much I loved Person of Interest

Top 3 most despised moments in TV

  • The moment I realized Olivia Dunham is no longer the protagonist of Fringe
  • Carter in Person of Interest dying.
  • Any moment the writers of Grey's Anatomy makes characater do something stupid or killing half the cast and then I have to break-up with the show again.

A Book that changed my life

I wouldn't say it changed my life but its formative to me was: The Riddlemaster Trilogy by Patricia McKillip where the heroes spent significant time apart from each other growing and learning and still loving each other. It had such an impact on me, and blew me away that a couple didn't need to be in the same continent or even staying together joined to the hip to love each other.

rose_griffes: Detective Joss Carter, from Person of Interest (carter)

Awww, Person of Interest really did have some stellar episodes. I think I love the villain reveals best (at this specific moment - my favorite things tend to change depending on day and mood).
- Charlie Burton is Elias!
- Camryn Manheim is NOT a kindly wife!
- KARA STANTON IS ALIVE AND SHOOTING FBI OPERATIVES AND TAKING THEM HOSTAGE FOR INTEL!!!

But alas, we also have hardly any heroic black characters in recurring or regular roles who get to stay alive. *sigh* And just a dearth of characters of color, considering that they filmed in NYC.

I don't know if I've read anything by McKillip. Hm. If I have, it's been a while.
