Awesome poll. Willow and Hermione would be a kick ass geek combination, though I would love to see Cameron and Buffy-bot as well. I think Buffy-bot's excessive cheerfulness would be hilarious against Cameron's flat, emotionless way of stating everything. Angel would totally swim to find supplies while Spike stayed behind to make sure everyone could survive without them.
The hero most likely to survive an Ice Age is, in fact, Diego. Because that's what we do, in a herd.
If electricity suddenly stopped working all life above virus level would die instantly.
In the dimensional walls collapse scenario what would happen if John Crichton met, not Dave Lister, but Cam Mitchell? And Aeryn Sun met Vala Mal Doran?
I mostly picked the ones that amused me most, but then you made me choose between Neville and Starbuck. Soooo difficult - but I went with Starbuck because she is just that awesome.
I was giggling through this whole thing, but this:
The Icebergs Melt And There’s NO LAND LEFT: most likely to bravely say “I’m going out for a swim – I may be some time” and nobly leave, in the hopes that the others will now have enough supplies?
Angel (with a deep, brooding gaze of soulful pain)
Zhaan (nobly, beautifully, and with many tearful goodbyes)
Angel (resigned to spending ANOTHER long stretch of time underwater)
Jack Harkness – after all, the worst that’ll happen is that he’ll starve to death every day for the next few centuries
Spike – because he’s a vampire with a soul TOO, dammit
Angel (hey, come on, it’s ANGEL! Mr Broody Self-Sacrificer 2004!)
Made me lose it! I don't even know what it is, but it's gone dammit and I don't even care!
Hee! You know, I almost didn't answer "Angel" for that question. At first, I thought, "But Angel doesn't eat! He wouldn't be using up any supplies. There'd be no reason to sacrifice himself."
Then I remembered that a.) Angel would probably sacrifice himself anyway, just for the hell of it, and b.) Angel drinks blood. His supplies are other people.He'd obviously sacrifice himself rather than feeding off his fellow survivors.
This is fantastic! *dies laughing* Too many good ones to count, although The Master (of course, in his case, he’ll be the one enslaving them…) was priceless! (I'd mention more, but I have to go wake up the kiddies.)
Success factors here are a) melee weapons with a sharp edge, and b) not getting caught (say, by having someone grab your long, flowing cape) and dogpiled by the demons. Faith.
Ice Age: most likely to outlast everyone else, with lots of canned goods?
Jeeves. The Doctor would just get out of there. Sarah Connor would hunt polar bears to extinction and then starve.
The Robots Take Over, Terminator-Style: first to organise the resistance?
Martha. Canon.
Plague Wipes Out 80% Of The Population: most likely to develop the vaccine?
House would diagnose it, Fred's team would develop it.
Reprogramming Tech, Dollhouse-Style: most likely to get away with pretending they’re the original owner of the body they’ve woken up in?
The entire Farscape gang. Except for Rygel who'd be appalled at the loss of his perfect beauty.
Electricity Suddenly Stops Working: first to invent a new power source?
None of the above, really. But I guess Lex.
Enslaved By Aliens: most likely to cheer up the other slaves by making “soylent green” jokes?
Crichton. Nobody would know what he was talking about.
The Icebergs Melt And There’s NO LAND LEFT
Zhaan. Angel would find a way to fight a shark and somehow make it symbolic of their struggle. (Spike would just go beat up a shark, which would somehow solve their situation anyway.)
All The Dimensional Walls Collapse, Buffyverse-Style: most likely to really enjoy meeting each other?
Except Starbuck, because, dammit most likely to go down fighting, in a blaze of defiant glory is her personality in a nutshell. And that works for her love life, and probably her hobby embroidery too. It's not all that great a plan, sometimes, I have to admit.
I love these types of polls! You're quite good at them, and all of the parentheticals make me smile.
Not too many comments from me, but I love that almost everyone voted for Faith to be good at being in someone else's body unnoticed even though she was so incredibly, incredibly bad at it the first time.

You know I picked Moya's crew for the body-swap question, because I am still freaking out of that episode. Still.
Every single question here made me grin. Every single one.
[ETA] Oh! And Serenity, the TARDIS, and Moya all meeting up? I may have to write that now. I just might have to.

Knoweldgeable Sarah fills out poll on JL's ignorant behalf
Date: 2009-12-23 03:30 am (UTC)Sarah: "Well, Moya and the TARDIS can tear it apart together and cannibalise it for spare parts."
JL: !!!! *does not know whether to be appalled or impressed*
