I had these half done and you responding made me finish them. XD

• The first character I fell in love with: It was either Parker or Eliot, but Parker is my next answer, so…Eliot it is. :D I loved Eliot and his hitter ways, the ways he could take out pretty much any bad guy, and at the end he’d hold out his hand and say “It’s okay” and you’d believe him. He was the Calvary in one person. He had done bad things in his life, terrible things if his face is to be believed, but he also believed so much in helping people and doing the right thing for others and for his country and wanted so badly to be the hero of the story, but knowing he wasn’t at the same time. His conversation with Parker where he explains that it had to be the two of them who found the body on the mountain, because they recognized the situation for what it was, helpless, and that the others wouldn’t sums up his character a lot. I also love his little quips and how even in the middle of a fight he was fully dedicated to, he would still have one prepared in the back of his mind. And his relationships with Hardison and Parker were just wonderful. How they didn’t understand each other half the time, but they were still so important to each other. And well, Christian Kane. (I was also a big fan of his glasses in S1. There should have been more of that. They made some guest appearances but mostly just for cons. I liked Eliot in glasses, looking almost harmless, and then—well he was anything but.) • The character who is my ‘baby’: Parker, definitely Parker. I love how quirky she is, walking that fine line of kind of crazy, how bold she is, how she understands how the world works in so many ways but doesn’t in others, how she taught herself to be self-reliant and to get what she wants, no one else needed. How she had to grow into this family of thieves they had created because she had never had a family before. I love that in a lot of ways she understood the people they were helping better than Nate, because of the life she had lived, she just couldn’t express it the right way. I love her search to become a better person and to become a whole person, without realizing she already was both. I love her slightly violent streak and her love of a tazer and how she will always put those she cares about above herself and everyone else. Even though I love Tara’s character, I love the scene where she thinks that Tara double crossed them all and Parker grabs her by the throat and dangles her off the building. That is not a threat. That is Parker, pure and unadulterated, the same little girl who blew up her foster parents’ house because she wanted her bunny. I don’t know there are just so many wonderful sides to Parker and I love them all. • The character who I do not understand: Hmmm…I don’t know if I have an answer for this one. • The character that I think the show ruined: I don’t think they ruined anyone really, or not at least any of the reoccurring/main ones. They grew if anything, but remained the basics of who they always were. And faults were addressed. • The most attractive male and female character: For me Eliot and Parker, but Hardison was always nice to look at as well. (My OT3 was beautiful.) • The character death that was the worst for me: There wasn’t a lot of character deaths, only two I can think of off the top of my head. But the flashbacks to Nate’s son dying always got to me. And the knowledge of how it broke him (and it did break him), it always got to me.
