selannia asked two things:

"would you rather eat a bowl of deep fried bugs or watch six hours of Barney episodes in one go."

Barney. Because bugs creep me out even more than Barney does.

"in the next Superman movie, we will have Batman. If the movie includes the character, who would be your dream actor to portray Lex Luthor?"

Oh.....dear. I hate to be obvious, but Michael Rosenbaum will always be my Lex. Honestly, I tried to come up with someone else, but this is where my brain automatically goes, and everyone else just pales in comparison. Rosey played Lex so well. He brought a depth and understanding into what made Lex the ruthless megalomaniac that he became. His story is tragic and unfortunate, and it made him crazy. Once upon a time Clark could have healed him. But he didn't. I will always believe that what Lex turned into was all Clark's fault.

Also, Rosey as Lex was just dead sexy. :)

selannia: Shag. Marry . Cliff: Ichabod Crane, Rick Castle, Captain Hook.

Heh. Well. I have actually spent some time thinking about this. What can I say, pondering problems like this during my commute to and from the office is how I stay sane. ;)

Cliff: Ichabod. I'm so sorry. I think he's great, really. He's clever and beautiful and kind, and if I ever get to see him in a nice pair of jeans I might have to change my mind. But I couldn't marry him. Whether or not she's actually dead, Katrina is still very much his wife, and I wouldn't want a witch with her skills mad at me. As for a shag...I don't think Ichabod is much into shagging just for fun. And even if he was, he's kinda out of practice. ;)

Shag: Captain Hook. Because, Pirate! Tall, dark & handsome + pirate tells me he's probably pretty good at shagging. And while he's definitely a scallywag with heart, he would get the whole shagging for fun thing, so I wouldn't have to worry about any icky feelings getting in the way.

Marry: Castle. Absofuckinglutely. I love everything about Rick Castle. He's clever, fun, light-hearted, deeply caring, and believes in living life to the fullest. And he's a wildly successful author (of the type of book I love to read, even) who can afford to keep me in the manner to which I would very quickly become accustomed to. :D Bonus: the sex would be frequent and awesome. :D :D

Yeah, I know. I need to catch up again. The holidays, work, and old age have been kicking my butt.

Now, where was I?

gryphonrhi asked for "Crossovers you want to see. (Hell, leave character mixes and prompts; maybe people will write you presents?)"

I don't often wish for crossovers, to be honest. When presented with them, I generally find them fun and occasionally awesome, though. Sometimes I don't much want my people from show A getting involved in show B. I don't know why this is....maybe because sometimes the pairings get mixed up, and as an OTP girl, I just don't want that. Or because even within fandoms built on fantasy and/or science fiction, said crossover is really not plausible.

Sometimes though, it really, really works. And when that happens, I love it with the passion of a thousand burning suns.

My favorite cross-over of all time was especially clever, and plausible, because it used an actual actor cross-over. Endless Midnights blends Merlin and Doctor Who so beautifully. The same idea later presented in this series of images.

Then there was this vid, that brilliantly merged Merlin with the existing Merlin story arc in SG1. And more recently that fantastic Doctor Who/Sherlock vid that's been posted everywhere. I loved those very muchly. :)

Having said all that, a cross-over that I would really like to see is Arrow and Smallville - Let's forget about the Oliver Queen who was featured earlier in SV, and exchange him for the Oliver Queen from Arrow. I'd love to see a story where he interacts with Lex and Clark.

pat_t asked me, "If you were throwing a party, which characters from Highlander, Sherlock and Supernatural would you invite?"

Highlander: Methos
Sherlock: Sherlock
Supernatural: Castiel

Because seriously, can you imagine the dinner conversation? I'd never get a word in edgewise, but it would be FASCINATING.

selannia asked, "who is your favorite villain/bad guy?"

Ooooh. That's hard. There are SO MANY. And they're all AWESOME. Crowley. The Master. Kronos. Lex. Boyd. Moriarty. So many choices. But right now my heart belongs to Loki. He's so damanged. And totally badass. He enjoys being badass, is positively gleeful about it. But he's not heartless at all, really. He actually feels very deeply. There's a vulnerable streak a mile wide that he tries hard to hide, and he hates it, so he compensates by being an even bigger badass. The cherry on top is that he's completely gorgeous and sexy as hell. He is literally all my favorite things rolled up in one. Can I have him for Christmas? :)

I'll be printing and mailing off my cards by the end of this week, so anyone who hasn't let me know yet that they want one should get to the post over here.

Also, there are lots of empty dates for the second half of the month on my talky posting meme thingy. Come on, this is your opportunity to ask me anything! Post is over here.

And in other news, check out my new holiday LJ header! Many of the holiday cards I've done in past years are on display. :)

lastrega asked for my top 10 places I still have yet to visit.

1 Belgium
2 Paris
3 Tuscany
4 Provence
5 York
6 Hadrian's Wall
7 Montana
8 Montreal
9 Santorini
10 Egypt

Paris and Belgium I hope to cross off next year. And I can likely combine York and Hadrian's Wall in one trip. :)

EEK! I'm behind. Catching up now. :)

iris_angel asked: Do you think that Peter Wingfield will ever come back to acting, even for a small guest role on a show? And if he could and were able and willing, which current show that you watch would you like to see him guest star on?

I believe he's said that he would do a second series of 10,000 Days if it gets picked up and he can work it into his schedule. So it's possible that we might see him acting again here and there, but I'm thinking if it happens, it'll be more like a hobby for him. Nothing major.

If I could get him to guest star in any of my current shows, what show would that be? Hmmmmm... I've been lucky over the years to have him appear on a couple shows that I was watching already - SG1, Sanctuary. But right now I think that it would be most fun to see him show up on Doctor Who. The possibilities with Doctor Who are really endless, so he might get to play a character very different from anything he's done in the past. And he'd get to keep his accent, so bonus! Yeah, that would be really, really fun. Especially if it was a one-off, big Christmas special. Merry Christmas to me! :)

selannia asked, "Who would win in a fight between John from SGA and John from Person of Interest?"

My first thought is I don't care, but I really want to watch. ;)

They can both be scary guys when they need to be, but POI John is much more broken, which makes him much more dangerous. I think he'd cross more lines and break more rules than SGA John. So SGA John would lose that fight. And then I'd take him home and nurse him back to health. :)
