I'll do a Saiyuki rundown later tonight as a top-level reply. In the meantime, here's BBC Sherlock:
1. The first character I first fell in love with Lestrade, for his long-suffering wryness. As I said in another reply above, I'm not a fan of the mystery or detective genres, but apparently I have a huge thing for the dry, slightly-put-upon detective.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now Mycroft, who was always just a background wallpaper pattern kinda character to me until Gatiss made him the most intriguing thing about the series.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't Do people love Eurus? Her character was horrendously mishandled.
4. The character I love that everyone else dislikes I don't think there is one; all of my favorites seem to be crowd favorites.
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer Sherlock, after the final series turned him from a humanized misanthrope back into a Marty Stu with a ridiculous origin story.
6. The character/person I would shag anytime Lestrade. Without question.
7. The character/person I'd want to be like Again, probably Lestrade. He is the most human of the bunch aside from John, and I like Lestrade's brand of prickliness better.
8. The character/person I'd slap The entire Sherlock clan and John, for all that bullshit surrounding Eurus.
9. A pairing that I love John/Sherlock, but that's the case for every incarnation of this story from ACD on.
10. A pairing that I dislike Man, I am not into the Sherlock/Mycroft incest stuff. Nor do I much care for Sherlock/Moriarty, although Moriarty himself is a fantastic character.
