Vid and TV Stuff
Happy Belated Birthday to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sundancekid! It's been a pleasure having you on my Flist and I always enjoy reading your posts :)
First things first, Vividcon registration is tomorrow! They open at 12 PM EST tomorrow here and I would strongly urge anyone who wants to go to get up early, have alarms in place (you can download computer alarms if needed!) and register immediately because it's probably going to sell out really fast even ten minute fast, who knows. I can't recommend Vividcon enough for anyone who loves vids. It's SO MUCH fun. There's the Premieres show and other vidshows with both new and old vids showing, really interesting vidding panels that help for both creating and watching vids, Club Vivid with lots of fun dancing to vids and many great fans who LOVE vids and create a friendly, enthusiastic and vid positive atmosphere. I've had the time of my life both times I went and for me it's worth all the money in the world. I would urge everyone interested to go!
Late on this but just in case anyone hasn't seen, the New To Me Vid Watching Challenge has a lot of great vid recs of some vids you may not have seen before. Hopefully soon I'll compile my own big rec list I've been meaning to do.
In light of Alias, I'm curious about what people think are the best and worst TV show pilots and finales. Especially relative to the overall quality of the show as a whole. What do you think makes a good Pilot and Finale? Here's a poll if you'd like to answer and I'd love any comments if you'd like to elaborate why (without spoilers preferred).

8. A pairing that I love: Kara/Lee
9. A pairing that I despise: Leoben/Kara I have to say
10. Favorite character: Starbuck
11. What are your five favorite things about your fandom? Starbuck, not knowing who could be a cylon, dealing with consequences, fun fighter pilot scenes, metaphors and dealing with RL issues
12. What are your five least favorite things about your fandom? Convoluted love triangles, slow mid season episodes (S2/3), Baltar at first, long gaps between seasons, not enough Starbuck
13. Who are your five favorite characters? Starbuck, Roslin, Boomer, Lee, Captain Adama
14. Who are your five least favorite characters? I still like them but Tigh, Baltar, Anders, Dualla, Six.
15. What are your five favorite pairings? Lee/Kara, Adama/Roslin, Sharon/Tyrol (S1), Six/Baltar, Adama/Tigh
16. What are your five least favorite pairings? Lee/Kara, Lee/Dualla, Anders/Kara, Tigh/Ellen, that's all really.
17. Which character are you most like? Probably Lee in my idealism.
18. What is your deep, dark fandom secret? I kind of liked the Watchtower lyrics thing...I mean I thought it was cracked out but I didn't mind too much.
