Swiped from astrogirl2: Which fictional character would you fix me up with, if you could?

I'd be intrigued to hear your reasons.

Giles, or the eighth Doctor. :-)

[kerravonsen]

Why?

And how, I wonder...

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Jarriere. Because he'd be sympathetic and adoring and always tell you how clever you are. :-P

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Well, I think you'd get on well with an intellectual like Giles, and I know you love Doctor Who and you seem to like the eighth one especially because he's in your interests. I've never seen him.

How? Absolutely no idea.

[kerravonsen]

I've never seen him.

Oh, you must. Or maybe listen to one of the BigFinish 8th-Doctor adventures, if you like radio plays.

Of course, the downside of seeing him is that his one, sole, adventure... was pretty crap, apart from him.

[kerravonsen]

He'd drive me round the bend, I think.

[kerravonsen]

Well, I think you'd get on well with an intellectual like Giles

Good point.

[kerravonsen]

On the other hand, he hates computers, which would be a bit on the down side.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

So I gather. :-( I may hire it and see for myself.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Probably, but I was just kidding. I'd really want to fix you up with somebody who's genuinely nice, normal, and stable--definitely not Giles, but somebody like the Fifth Doctor or Jack O'Neill. I haven't settled in my mind yet who's exactly right.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

She'd probably kill O'Neill, y'know... I thought of Daniel, but I have this feeling living with him all the time would be a lot more aggravating than it seems...

How about the Brigadier? (after he's retired and mellowed a bit)

[kerravonsen]

I wouldn't want to take the Brig away from Molly -- I think that was his wife's name; she was mentioned in Battlefield, if I recall correctly.

[kerravonsen]

She'd probably kill O'Neill, y'know

Because he hates techno-geek speak? But we could talk about Astronomy. I dunno, he'd probably be pining for Sarah anyway.

I thought of Daniel, but I have this feeling living with him all the time would be a lot more aggravating than it seems...

We could manage it only if we had a housekeeper and a secretary to take care of all the mundane domestic hassles.

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

True... but given my appalling imagination, if we take away everyone who's Already Taken, then Everyone I Am Not Supposed to Suggest Just to Make You Shudder...

How about Dr Henry Brown Snr (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom)? Sure, his son's more - adventurous, but it's Sean Connery :)

Much as I love the 8th Doctor, I do think I'd get on better with the 5th Doctor -- he's not so extroverted. And I don't think I'd irritate him as much as his usual companions do. We could talk.

I like Jack, I do, but I don't think we'd suit. I'd want to talk about "meaning of life" stuff, and he's just not interested in that. Not that he's stupid, but it wouldn't be a meeting of minds, y'know?

[kerravonsen]

(grin) Nice guy, but too old.

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

Doris.

[kerravonsen]

I really must watch Battlefield again. It's such a pity the series was cancelled put on hiatus after that season, they'd just started to have good scripts again.

[jhall1.livejournal.com]

I agree. (Though it seems a minority view.)

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I get so angry with people who write off the final stories before the break; they cannot have been watching, or, if they were, they cannot have been listening.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

She'd probably kill O'Neill, y'know...

I don't follow you. Why? He doesn't seem particularly irritating to me.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

No two minds meet over everything. You can talk about meaning of life stuff to your friends. Jack is a phlegmatic, practical, straightforward person who'd give you balance and stability. ;-)

[kerravonsen]

I also would like to know why.

[kerravonsen]

(scratches head) Kind of an opposites attract thing?

[kerravonsen]

Personally I assume that they weren't watching. After all, the whole of Six and the start of Seven would be enough to make people give up.

[mistraltoes.livejournal.com]

Not so much opposite as complementary. You're similar in some ways, such as the dry humor, but you have different strengths. Good couples need, IMO, some things that they share, and some things that they don't. It's good when the things that they don't share are each others' weaknesses.

[kerravonsen]

It's good when the things that they don't share are each others' weaknesses.

Which would probably be the problem with me and Daniel. He's much better off with Shau'ri -- she'd be practical where he's absent-minded. I'd just be absent-minded along with him, at least for things that I don't like doing...

[kerravonsen]

such as the dry humor

Hmmm. Probably true.

Straightforward and dry humour. I could live with that.
