5) what’s your comfort show?
Answered here 🙂

10) what’s one show you thought you’d love but turned out to really hate?
Oooh erm, hate’s a strong word and wow I’m not really sure. I was excited for Star Trek: Discovery, because everything I heard pre-watching sounded positive but I was cautious because Star Trek: Enterprise had burned me so when Discovery went bad it was almost like I’d been expecting it.

I don’t think I hate any show tbh which is why I’m finding it so difficult to answer. If I decide I don’t like something then I let it go, I don’t think about it, I’m just not interested anymore, and so I forget. Hate implies I still care in some respect and TV is a positive thing in my life, I try and only watch stuff I like so I don’t know, sorry :/

27) which actor do you think deserves an Emmy for their work on TV?
Oooh I could go for the classic and say Lana Parrilla because she really was utterly amazing as Regina. However I’m going to say something else – Zoie Palmer as the Android in Dark Matter.

She’s a robot but she’s a robot which has been upgraded with this empathy mod which allows her to have feelings and free will but doesn’t teach her about them at all. Also in the show there is another upgrade which basically makes her perfectly ‘human’.

So she has to play the shutdown robot with feelings she doesn’t understand and can only really display them through micro-expressions and awkward motions, she has to play the same character but much more ‘normal’ and then in season 3 they had another character – Doctor Shaw – who the android was modelled from, so that was another character completely and so she had to act opposite herself as two different people.

Yeah so in terms of ‘technical challenge’ there’s a lot. However I would argue that she deserves recognition because of the representation she offers. A lot of people see her as a representation of autism. The fact that she has the ability to pass and be normal and rejected it, in favour of being who she is, and that her crew respect and support that – and love her for who she is! it’s enough to make anyone cry.

41) if you could change 1 detail about any show, what would you change and why?
So I have to pick ONE show? and ONE thing? That’s impossible! Erm geez seriously my brain does not know where to begin with that.

Alright erm man I don’t know, erm – Stargate SG1. I’d change how the introduction to season 8 went down. I know Amanda Tapping needed some maternity leave but I really do think that Samantha Carter should have retained command of SG1 and that Mitchell should have been the new rookie. I love the character of Cam Mitchell, don’t hate him, he’s cool, but I don’t like that they basically forgot he wasn’t Jack O’Neill when they were writing (they admit this in episode commentary) and just yeah. I think Carter should have been properly in charge. I think the dynamic would have been better.

Also! Urk ok ONE thing, ONE. I have so many more /headdesk and it’s not like I don’t love stuff because I do, it’s just there are things that I personally would have done differently if I’d been show-runner.
