- The first character I fell in love with: Daniel. I liked him from the _movie_. Pretty and a linguist? Sign me up.
- The character who is my ‘baby’: Janet and Vala. Initially I didn't like Vala at all, and picked her up to RP once as a stretching exercise, playing against my type. Then the more I played her and thought about her and considered what we knew of her, the more I understood her and oh, precious baby, I love her to bits now. Janet was just always magnificent.
- The character who I do not understand: Y'know, actually, Sam. I think I could RP any of these guys (obvs some better than others) except for her. I mean, she's awesome and blows up suns and shit, but she's also just kind of... there. She doesn't have the meaty backstory of the rest of them and that makes her hard to get into, for me.
- The character that I think the show ruined: Daniel. I don't think it's just my love of Vala speaking here, but he was a horrendous shit to her, and I don't get why. Yeah, okay, bad-guy-turned-good, I get taking a while to warm up to her. But come on, Daniel. Everyone else managed just fine. Nobody else takes any miniscule opportunity to poke at Vala and remind her of what she was. Nobody else still holds that against her. Daniel - or at least early!Daniel - was better than that. He was compassionate and always the one to put himself in someone else's shoes and find a way to relate to them. But for - I guess - the sake of UST (which she couldn't have with Cam because they didn't want to recreate Farscape, Sam because she's a woman - though I would have loved to at least see her flirt with Sam a little - and I'm not sure why not Teal'c, but anyway Daniel was pretty much the only option) they had him forget all that and forever nurse the grudge that she beat him up that one time so they could spend two years bickering like a married couple. Bleh.
- The most attractive male and female character: Ba'al and Janet
- The character death that was the worst for me: Janet. Heroes still makes me cry all these years later.
- The character that is the most like me: Perhaps Janet. Her badassery comes in a smaller way than the others. She's good at what she does and she gets the job done and it isn't glamorous but it's necessary. Also being a sidelines character she's easy to overlook sometimes, I think.
- The character I think the writer(s) love: I think they liked Jack but RDA's fading interest made things hard there. Probably Ba'al since he went from random baddie to Main Villain and sometimes collaborator.
- The character that I just want to be happy: Vala. I do believe she honestly cared for Daniel. Probably more than she's used to caring for someone, and she perhaps didn't know the best way to express her affection. She's used to _pretending_ affection and attraction to fleece her marks, and so she doesn't know how to do it when it's _real_. I have and do ship her with damn near anything with a pulse, but she always ends up with this funny little fixation on Daniel. What would Daniel think? Make Daniel jealous. Flaunt her current boytoy, her ring, her pregnant belly. Somehow it keeps coming back to him. Yes that's RP and headcanon but I don't believe I'm far off the mark there. I emphatically do not ship Daniel and Vala because I think it would be a toxic relationship and I would wish for Vala's sake that she'd get over him someday and find someone who actually makes her happy instead of abuses her. \rant
- My four favorite characters, past or present: Daniel (I blame the writers, not him, for turning him into an ooc asshole and prefer to remember him as he was), Vala, Janet, Ba'al
- My four least favorite characters, past or present: listing bad guys is too easy so Rodney McKay, Carolyn Lam, the Tok'ra, Gen. Landry
