Alias. *grins*

(I've only seen seasons 1-4, so this might need revising at a later date!)

01. The first character I first fell in love with - Jack. Even early S1 Jack, who was inept any kind of parenting that didn't involve evasive driving manouevres.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Sloane. I didn't start being interested in him until the Emily storyline in season 2 (and I honestly thought he'd killed her at the end of S1, which goes to show how much attention I pay, apparently).
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't - I don't think I have one of these. Nadia's a bit disappointing for a Derevko, though.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates - The only character I know who's close to universally hated is Lauren, but I can't spring to her defense either. I do think she got a bad deal from the scriptwriters, though. And she was fun to watch with Sark.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Vaughn. I don't mind him now, but he doesn't interest me the way he did in S1.
06. The character I would shag anytime - Sark. Any time.
07. The character I'd want to be like - Season 1 Sydney was an inspiration to all of us juggling academia and an outside job (she was doing it badly, but still), but Irina Derevko is my academic role model for Things I Can Turn To If I Get Bored Of This. Plus, how great would it have been to have had those spy skills when she was Laura Bristow, working at a university? "All right, plagiarist - we've found the source you copied from, found CCTV footage of you copying it, and bugged your phone when you made that confession to your friend, kidnapped your friend, brought him here, and got him to tell us everything he knows. That's him under the desk, actually. Now, do you still want to plead innocence?"
08. The character I'd slap - S3 Vaughn, for ladling it on with the angst.
09. A pairing that I love - Jack/Irina. True spylove ;)
10. A pairing that I despise - I don't think I have one of these, either, but Will/Evil!Francie grated a bit. (WORK IT OUT, Mr. Hot-shot former journalist.)

Babylon 5.

01. The first character I first fell in love with - Ivanova. I was told I'd love her beforehand, and oh, they were right.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Delenn. Partly, I think, because I started watching mid-Season 4, when she got long stretches of being just Sheridan's Girlfriend. Seeing Season 1 after that was a big surprise.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't - Kosh. I've read some great fic, but I didn't get him in canon.
04. The character I love that everyone else hates - Lt. Keffer, the first casualty of the Shadow war. I know, I know...
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer - I liked Sheridan better in S2-3 than in S4-5, but I watched them partly in reverse, so it's closer to the other way round ;)
06. The character I would shag anytime - Neroon. Whaaaaat?
07. The character I'd want to be like - Delenn, if only to be quite that good at manipulating the universe.
08. The character I'd slap - Most of the people who need to be slapped for their own good get much worse slaps in canon, so it seems a bit unfair to add to that. (Except for Byron, but probably most of fandom wants to slap Byron, so the same applies.) Maybe Sheridan, occasionally, for some idiotic decisions. ("So there we were, in the future, in this apocalyptic wasteland in which Something Very Bad had Very Clearly Happened, and you begged me not to go to Z'Ha'Dum, so I thought - well, maybe going to Z'Ha'Dum would fix it!" I can't picture the educated-by-Jesuits Sinclair coming out with that sort of reasoning.) Also, for screwing over Lyta.
09. A pairing that I love - Delenn/Lennier. Dysfunctional Minbari love.
10. A pairing that I despise - uh. Sheridan/Delenn, but not, not, I swear to Valen, in one of those it's-my-OTP-or-the-highway things. I just... think that had the potential to be a really interesting pairing, and then post-Z'Ha-Dum it was... not. And mostly isn't in fandom, either, which is weird. I mean, I'm all for fluff if fluff is what people want to write, but there's a whole lot of angst built right into the structure of the pairing what with the whole Starkiller/starting-the-war thing, and it's just... ignored, a lot of the time. Which is a shame.

I hear you on seeing things out of order. The first episode I saw was "Severed Dreams" during the late-afternoon TNT run (truly the best of after-school programming). It was very disorienting seeing season one after three and four.

Kosh. I've read some great fic, but I didn't get him in canon.

I admired his haughtiness. I must admit, though, that my favorite Kosh plotline was when he ran for President.

Dare I say it? Dr. Who

[eye-of-a-cat.livejournal.com]

01. The first character I first fell in love with - Seven. Or Seven's hat, which might've come first.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Jackie Tyler, who I dearly miss.
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't - The entire cast of Torchwood (except the pterodactyl).
04. The character I love that everyone else hates - I don't know if anyone's hated, as such; I did quite like Rose, though. And Mickey is unfairly ignored.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Jack Harkness, circa the first episode of Torchwood. But then he turned up again in Who and I loved him again, so I am fickle and they need better writers on Torchwood.
06. The character I would shag anytime - Ten, most certainly.
07. The character I'd want to be like - I think blowing things up is frowned upon in most places I go, but I can't abandon my loyalties to Ace now.
08. The character I'd slap - Ten, for the most recent season.
09. A pairing that I love - Ten/Reinette. Or Ten/humans in general, really.
10. A pairing that I despise - The above, if it ends in happily ever after.

Buffy.

[eye-of-a-cat.livejournal.com]

01. The first character I first fell in love with - Willow. <3 intelligent, geeky girls.
02. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now - Cordelia, but I suspect we can all say that ;)
03. The character everyone else loves that I don't - Wesley (who I did grow to love in Angel, a little)
04. The character I love that everyone else hates - Not that he's hated, but there isn't nearly enough Oz love.
05. The character I used to love but don't any longer - Anya, sadly. She used to be more fun.
06. The character I would shag anytime - Oz. Who wouldn't?
07. The character I'd want to be like - Pre-evil Willow, probably.
08. The character I'd slap - Xander. No! Cordelia. No! Angel. See, I love pretty much everybody in BtVS, but I don't think there's a single one of them that wouldn't warrant a slap now and then.
09. A pairing that I love - Spike/Drusilla. "You can't see the stars, love, that's the ceiling. Also, it's day."
10. A pairing that I despise - Spike/Buffy. Still not over the rape thing.
