Oh my goodness. Saitou Hajime from the anime Rurouni Kenshin. A man who follows his own moral code and doesn't legitimize his actions or the decisions he makes. He also has this really cool sword stance that really makes me go *GAH* What's it's name again? Oh yeah. Gatotsu. Whoo!
2. Who is your favorite television character? Why?
I change favorite television characters from time to time, but Daniel Jackson was the only television character so far that was able to really move me, who challenges my beliefs system to the core and motivated me to look at my passions in life with wonder once again. Seriously. I encountered Daniel Jackson when I was a bit jaded by life. I stopped reading. I couldn't write a new poem. It took me forever to finish reading the new Christina Rossetti poetry collection that I bought. And right after I watched Torment of Tantalus, I was so bowled over by the insights that I learned, by the wonder in Daniel's eyes at something that seemed so unreal.
I ran to my poetry books and read poetry over and over and over again.
Instant defamiliarization. All by just one character on a television show. Who would have thought it was possible??
3. Who is your favorite (no longer in production) televison character? Why?
Hmm.....Irina Derevko from Alias. This woman's decisions, every move she makes are full of so many layers. And the way she plays the so-called master of game theory Jack Bristow like a fiddle!
4. Who is your favorite television ensemble cast? Why? (If you don't have one/want to imagine the possibilities, assemble one and explain your choices and the fandoms they are from).
The Stargate SG-1 cast. I didn't believe in the word "ensemble cast" until I watched this show. Alias also have a good ensemble cast, but I really can't bring myself to like Vaughn.
5. Who is your favorite movie character? Why?
Mario from Il Postino. I'd like to think that the power to weave words is within all of us, we just have to open ourselves to it. Mario is so ecstatic about poetry, so eager to learn, without frills. I was as happy as he when he built his own metaphor. *sigh*
