Hello everyone... its been a while...
Okay so I'm feeling sick and completely bored so I thought I would do some TV memes I got from
sherrilina.
Which TV shows did you start watching in 2011?
Doctor Who, Primeval, Once Upon A Time, Being Human (UK version), The Legend of the Seeker, Downton Abbey, The Hour & Silk.
Which TV shows did you let go of in 2011?
None of them really. I started watching One Tree Hill again but mainly because they released the . Also I got into The Legend of the Seeker, but it only had two seasons so unfortunately I had to let it go.
Which TV shows did you mean to get into but didn't in 2011?
None but it did take me a while to actually finally watch Doctor Who. I had promised
mustbethursday that I would watch it and I finally did and I loved. I did watch it completely out of order and I've just finished watching series 1 and I actually like the Ninth Doctor.
Which TV shows do you intend on checking out in 2012?
Great Expectations for sure. Also the rest of Once Upon A Time which I just adore. So does my mum!
Which TV show impressed you least in 2011?
Man this is a hard one. I just.... well Merlin in some ways disappointed me. Mainly with my OTP A/G which I still ship hardcore (if I have a slightly AU verse in my head). I think while it had some great scenes in it my issues is that they set up these story lines yet they didn't spend enough time fully exploring and resolving it. Namely A/G and what happened in 4x09. I won't say much more on that because I want to avoid arguments. Also I'm very much wanting to focus on the positives and the fact that A/G are finally married and totally having sex!!!!
Which TV show do you think you might let go of in 2012 unless things significantly improve?
None really. I mean maybe Merlin but I have a feeling that I will still be watching it and going down with my ship. Though I know that A/G is end!game it doesn't mean that the writers are the best at writing them. Really the main reason I watch this show is because the whole cast has amazing chemistry with each other. If they didn't I'm afraid I wouldn't be watching it. Although they have some great plot ideas, the flaws and plot holes just almost ruin it.
Which TV shows do you think you'll never let go of no matter how crappy they get?
Refer to the answer above. Don't get me wrong people, I love Merlin. I guess I had high expectations and then when they didn't happen I was disappointed. I've now learnt that its best to not have high expectations that way when something sort of good happens you are really happy. I did this for Merlin 4x13 and I actually enjoyed it and liked it. I know many people didn't and that's cool. We all have different opinions/ feelings on things and if we all agreed then it wouldn't be as interesting.
Now onto the second meme.

First I'll do Doctor Who!
Favourite character: Rory!
Least Favourite character: Ummm I'm going to say the testsirletor (or however you spell it)
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): Rory/Amy, Doctor/Amy, River/Doctor, Rory/Doctor, Craig/Doctor
Character I find most attractive: Rory!
Character I would marry: Rory!
Character I would be best friends with: The Doctor! How he would just make me laugh./
A random thought: I really wished that Amy's house from series 5 was in series 6. I loved that house!
An unpopular opinion: I really enjoyed series 6 and some people weren't happy with the story lines that Amy got in series 6 but I actually enjoyed them. She really grew up in series 6 which I can see when I re-watched series 5 after seeing series 6.
Canon OTP: Rory/Amy
Non-canon OTP: Craig/Doctor
Most badass character: Amy in the last episode when she kills The Silence.
Pairing I am not a fan of: Umm none really. I mean I'ma fan of the Amy/Doctor friendship but I don't ship it romantically.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Umm I think they screwed up not having Rory and Amy raising Melody. I'm sorry but it turning out that their best mate was actually their daughter is not the same!
Favourite friendship: Amy/Rory/Doctor
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I would love it if I could adopt Rory!
Now on to Downton Abbey...
Favourite character: Sybil and Mary... hell all of the girls!
Least Favourite character: Ummm I have to say the guy that Mary was gonna marry who's name I've forgotten.
5 Favourite ships (canon or non-canon): Mary/Matthew, Sybil/Branson, Anna/Bates, Cora/Robert & Edith/Cousin guy!
Character I find most attractive: Matthew
Character I would marry: Matthew
Character I would be best friends with: Sybil
A random thought: I really missed series 1 Sybil (though I liked Sybil in the beginning of series 2. I just have issues with her relationship with Branson and how it developed in series 2). I also miss Gwen!
An unpopular opinion: Refer to above. The first part may be unpopular.
Canon OTP: Mary/Matthew
Non-canon OTP: Ummm none really!
Most badass character: God Mary. She isn't afraid to speak her mind. And Sybil too.
Pairing I am not a fan of: none really.
Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): Umm in some ways Sybil. I loved her getting together with Branson but I just loved the fact that Sybil wanted to have a purpose other than being a noble and being a wife. I just wonder whether she will be in series 3 now we know she is pregnant.
Favourite friendship: Anna/Mary
Character I want to adopt or be adopted by: I would love to adopt Anna.

Hmm, well I certainly agree that Amy grew up in s6 (thank god) and was a more enjoyable character, but I don't see how being sidelined for River and never getting the chance to actually show proper emotion about losing her baby until a tiny bit at the very end, and then getting dumped against her will and becoming a perfume model count as decent storylines for her character...Amy definitely got the shaft story-line wise this year, she was no longer the focus, but just the womb that brought forth River, and the object of the Doctor's guilt about his God Complex...
Craig is awesome, with his magical ability to make Eleven truly lovsble for me in a way nobody else does!
And ITA about Sybil/Branson, I hate the relationship now, he was too pushy, and her story got really lame in s2, it's a shame...and yes, Edith/Patrick! :)

Yeah you make some valid points that I agree with. LOL maybe its just I love Amy so much no matter what they do to her (like Gwen in Merlin. Although its more the fact that they don't give her much story line as I would like). But yes its sad that we didn't see much emotions from Amy (and Rory) about losing her baby till the last episode. And really I blame Moffat! I just hope they give Amy some great story lines in series 7.
Craig is just so awesome! I agree!
Yes its disappointing because I really liked Sybil/Branson in series 1 and the beginning of series 2. I also loved Sybil becaming a nurse but we didn't actually see her doing much of that which was sad.
Patrick. That's his name! I forgot!
