MEMEMEMEME!!!!

Day 04, 05 & 06

I know! I lasted three days in and then forgot! But in my defense... wait, there is no defense. Either way, I am doing the days I missed now so don't be too upset! :P

Day 04. Favourite parent—child relationship?

Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (Gilmore Girls) - though I doubt you're surprised :P I love these two. Even when they were at their most strained and were apart, they were still so close. Having been raised by a single mother, I understand the kind of relationship that can occur. My mother was still my parent but also my best friend. And being the eldest meant that she relied on me to grow up fast so that our family could function. I wouldn't change anything that happened because it has made me who I am.

Lorelai and Rory have the same quirky sense of humour and know each other to a fault. It's hard, but not impossible, for them to hide things from one another and there are many times when they have role reversals. The dialogue in the show is fast paced and that's just how I love it! Very disappointed that the show ended but I think it was a good place to leave it. Besides, you all know I'm a Trory (Tristan/Rory) shipper and I prefer they leave that relationship to the experts like me rather than meddle with it themselves :P



Day 05. Favourite rivals relationship?

I had a whole bunch of choices and there were even some rival/pairings that I could have used but I was already on the track with 'parent/child relationship' and decided to go with Donald Lydecker and Max Guevara (Dark Angel). It is sort of a cross, for me at least, between a parent/child and rival. They are certainly not on the same side - it's Lydecker's job to track down and capture Max and had been doing it for ten years prior to the start of the series. But he also loves Max like a daughter and has shown that on many occasions. I think it also shows seeing as he was tracking her without capturing her for 10 years. I know Max is good, but not finding any of the twelve that he considers his 'kids'? For ten years?

And as twisted as it is, Max learnt a lot from him before she escaped. For all intents and purposes, he was her father figure. They have a great rapport, or lack there of, and I was very disappointed when his character was left hanging in season two. I still refuse to believe he died! :P



Day 06. Favourite partners in crime relationship?

Move over Booth and Brennan - my new favourite partnership! I love Rizzoli & Isles, even if it has ended, and the way they worked together. I think it was just bad timing for that show because it could have really taken off. It had a good premise and good casting. I know a lot of people had issues with it but purely from the TV show aspect, it was great! Besides, I cried my eyes out when Kate from NCIS died and was just completely overjoyed when I saw Sasha Alexander was in a new show. And who doesn't love Angie Harmon?!

Together they made a good team and were funny and witty but they also had each others' backs too. I would have loved to have seen what happened if the series had continued! I have SO many questions that need to be answered! :D

I'm totally with you on both Rory & Lorelai and Rizzoli & Isles. I love both shows!

I think it was a good place to leave it.
*nods* Yes. I had some issues with s6 and 7 but I liked that they closed on Rory and Lorelai. It felt right.

As for Rizzoli & Isles, I totally watched because of Sasha Alexander and Angie Harmon. Plus, it has Lee Thompson Young and I used to love The Famous Jett Jackson as a kid (and he's great as Victor/Cyborg in Smallville).

Yeah, I had issues too. I think Logan hung around for longer than he should have but Rory wouldn't have been the person she was at the end without that so... *shrugs* And I love that Lorelai and Chris got married! Sad that it ended so quickly but at least it was a way to wrap up that loose thread. I'm a torn BB/JJ so I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with the L/L ending; and you know how I feel about Trory... :P

I felt the break-up was rather abrupt. I mean, that relationship dragged on for years (and though I grew to like him, he was never my favorite of Rory's boyfriends) and then they just split because she turned down his proposal? Not that I'm complaining but it could've been better.

And I love that Lorelai and Chris got married!
*nods* I was really against this at first but they were just so cute that I couldn't help but love them. Plus, Luke was an ass in s6.

Sad that it ended so quickly but at least it was a way to wrap up that loose thread. I'm a torn BB/JJ so I'm not entirely sure if I'm happy with the L/L ending
I always knew L/L was endgame but I hate that they had to purposely screw up L/C to get there. They should've just had them date, not get married. It was all too rushed.

and you know how I feel about Trory... :P
Yup. :D Logan was a bit Tristan-lite, wasn't he? It's a shame they didn't keep CMM. They could've had Trory in s2. I am in the minority- I didn't really care for Dean at all. Good first bf but he wasn't ever going to make Rory happy in the long run. Tristan could at least match her intellectually. Plus, I would've loved to see Tristan and Jess meet. I'm sure they would've been hilarious.

Yeah, Chris deserved more than that. He is Rory's Dad after all, no matter how absent he was. And he did try for all those years. It seemed like he matured and Luke regressed :P

And it would have been good to have at least a guest appearance from CMM toward the end. I mean, they gave Jess a 'what if' and Dean had been done to death so they should have fixed ALL their loose ends ;) And Tristan and Jess meeting would have been great!
