More Top 5 memeage

swordzsnorcery also asked for Spaceships:

1. Liberator
2. The TARDIS
3. Star Bug (it's cute)

At this point, though I do like spaceships, I'm not sure I'm attached to any others in the same way?

4. Padme's ship in SW (it's really elegant, I like it)
5. Voyager, maybe? The Millennium Falcon? I don't know.


liadt asked Top 5 humorous reads? I read less humorous things generally, because it takes up a lot of energy to manage to read, even more to feel, and getting my sense of humour to work on top of that is never guaranteed. Anyway, moaning aside, these are therefore almost all very old favourites, but they all still make me smile:

1. The Truth - Terry Pratchett (Discworld, generally, but that's my favourite of the series, probably)
2. PG Wodehouse (there's no point specifying, almost any Wodehouse will do, although I have a particular soft spot for Blandings)
3. The Tough Guide to Fantasyland - Diana Wynne Jones
4. High Rising - Angela Thirkell (made me laugh even while ill; it must be good)
5. Sprig Muslin - Georgette Heyer (Heyer's usually more low-level amusing/witty, but she does have some very funny set-pieces in quite a few of her novels, and the bit where everyone finally catches up with Gareth, Hester, Amanda and Hildebrand (and all their lies) at the inn is a very good one, with a few other smaller funny bits in the run up.)


trobodora wanted Top 5 TV shows:

A tough choice - TV is my medium at the moment, and, in terms of fandom at least, always has been:

1. Doctor Who (despite everything)
2. Public Eye (I was tempted to make it #1 because it probably deserves it, and also I don't like DW at the minute, but I didn't.)
3. Sapphire & Steel
4. Blake's 7
5. Spooks | MI5

But it is very hard to narrow it down only to five, and not even by category.


For hamsterwoman - How about top 5 Babylon 5 characters

This question is a bit like the fruit one - #1 is G'kar, then everyone else, who I like pretty evenly. (More evenly than I like all non-banana fruit, though.) I shall try, however, but it is a bit arbitrary:

1. G'kar
2. Vir
3. Delenn
4. Londo
5. Susan

I couldn't remember any spaceships in B5! I'm sorry, my brain is like a sieve for everything I've watched in the last 10 years unless it contained James Maxwell or David Collings.

I really do like everyone in B5! Apart from Byron, of course; that would be silly. But G'kar is definitely top. No matter how much I like everyone else, I can't be doing with that bit in S1 where they go for like five or seven whole episodes without him! But, yes, Marcus, and the original Na'toth, and Sheridan and Lyta and everyone.
