Someone needs to please stop me from buying a Sonic Screwdriver
- there's a steampunk version too.Because really, why would I need it. I don't cosplay.
But having one in my possession would make me feel like a total badass. ~

2. I will give you a letter.
3. Post the names of five fictional characters whose names begin with that letter, and your thoughts on each. The characters can be from books, movies, or TV shows.

lil_1337 gave me the letter G:
Gregory House from House. So I'm not sure if I even consider myself a fan because I don't watch it regularly, just catch random episodes here and there. I just really like the medicine aspect of the show. House seems to be like a major jackass with no redeeming values whatsoever and I can't see why anyone would like him except the man is quite gorgeous but that's more Hugh Laurie than House. And then I see episodes where some of his humanity comes through and I realize that the man is not a jackass simply because he wants to be a jackass, it's just that he's honest and brutal and that sometimes doesn't win you over a lot of fans (his and Sue Slyvester 's character from Glee are quite similar to each other because she's not my favorite character either but I never know what to feel about her exactly). I guess the simplest way of looking at it is that they're both very complex characters so you can't really hate them or like them without wavering (at least I know I can't, I know they have their fans and to them I say, mazel tov).
Greg Sanders from CSI: Las Vegas. I've fallen away from this show, and I did get interested rather late so the catch-up has been slow and mostly focused on watching only episodes with my favorite characters (which mostly consist of minor characters and the "Lab Rats", although that's not to say I don't like all the major characters either). But now the show is like in its 12th season, and I feel like some much of the show has changed (naturally...as it has been like eleven years it's been on the air) that I can't really get into it with all the excitement that I kinda sorta had since its sixth season. But anyways, Greg's character is awesome and who I fell in love with right away. Greg started out as the quirky lab technician with the wild hair and the colorful shirts, but then he developed and matured into a geeky, cool, sexy guy, less with the colorful shirts and wild hair (which I miss) but his character is still so very awesome.
Grumpy from Once Upon a Time. Admittedly, when you think about the seven dwarves, you don't think of them as individuals but more as a collective, but with OUAT (as it does with every aspect of fairy tales), it develops the characters more deeply than the original versions do (and I'm glad to see this trend continue in other media, if the trailer for Mirror, Mirror with Lily Collins and Julia Roberts is anything to go by - them dwarves there look like they're very much individuals and not part of a set). Grumpy seems to be an honorable dude who believes in true love and takes the good with the bad. But my favorite dwarf will always be Dopey.
Burton "Gus" Guster from Psych. Oh Gus. The ways in which I love you are innumerable. I know he's playing the straight-man to Shawn's comedic role, but I love that he's anal and so smart and so loyal. I don't understand why he doesn't have to beat people away with a stick, with how very awesome and sexy he is. Seriously.
Geordi La Forge from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Alright, so I have to admit that my most, most favorite Star Trek series? Totally Voyager. And I feel like I can say this with authority even if I haven't seen the original series or Deep Space Nine or Enterprise or pretty much any other series in the franchise. Which is one of the major reasons why I don't consider myself a "Trekkie" because real fans would love everything in the franchise. But Geordi is awesome. He's nerdy and cool and smart. I love his friendship with Data too. He always does what he has to, even if that means he has to disobey orders, and I think that's partly because his convictions are strong and he's just an all-around admirable character.
some honorable mentions:
Galia the Orion girl from Star Trek (2009). So she's only at the very beginning and shows up briefly toward the middle of the movie when the characters go off on their separate ships to go to Vulcan, but she was very pretty and very perky and you could see that she was meant to be the total opposite of Uhura even if her character wasn't totally developed. I dunno. I just liked the little that we saw of her. She was kinda quirky.
George Kirk from, again, Star Trek (2009). He was only in the movie for 15 minutes and then [SPOILER] and...but I just really love him okay. Also apparently that was Chris Hemsworth playing him?
