LJ tells me I wrote too much so I have to put this into two comments.
*looks at watch to see if it's that time in the evening already where I spill my beans* - not quite yet, I usually am more talkative after midnight, but I'll give it a try! (and I just uploaded a new fitting icon especially for this post)
I'm also not reading your answers yet to be not influenced too much.
1. Two I think. One was an old Russian fairytale in a book where the hero had to jump into very hot and very cold water to get the princess... or something like that. The other one was an old movie with Lex Barker as Robin Hood where he got caught by the bad guys. Back then I did not even know that there was a name for it but I realized that I liked him more in bonds than out of them...
2. Both. On screen more the physical, as it is hard to portray the emotional well (or maybe it's just my unability to read people's emotions from faces) but in books or stories I like emotional just as well. Although I really don't think you can seperate it, as often one leads to the other.
3. I do have one. I have to say there are some pretty weird stories out there. I mean, there is whump, and there is whump. Some authors just torture and torture their characteres and do serious harm, that is way too dark for me.
4. No, I don't think so. But once in a time I get the odd craving to watch the episode "Solitudes"...
5. I have most experience with Stargate stories and I found that I liked most those that build up slowly. Where Jack was going onto a mission with his team, and might not feel well in the beginning, but didn't say so (of course) and then gradually became more ill until he couldn't hide it anymore and of course it was too late do return to Earth. Since I read most my stories at Jackfic, the Jackwhump WAS the plot ;) And we had some inventive and very good authors. But we also had a saying: "If you break him you have to fix him". So all was good in the end, usually with the last scene in the infirmary in Janet's hands (although he could be a difficult patient sometimes).
6. For me it's not so much a favourite character, but actor. When I start to watch a new show, and don't know yet whether I will become a fan - once I see such a scene and feel it deeply I know I am lost ;) RDA is very good at portraying pain, for example. Loved him both as Jack O'Neill and MacGyver. David Tennant is also very good, especially emotional pain. I've seen him in a lot of other series and movies now and he is really great and believable. If you don't know "Single Father", I can highly recommend it. Other characteres on the list are Jack Harkness (of course!) and Clark Kent, as portrayed by Dean Cain. And a German actor which you don't know.
