Characterization examination

[partly-bouncy.livejournal.com]

Sometimes, in reading comments for post episode discussion on this community and in reading fan fiction based on the show, I wonder if we are all watching the same show because our views of characters can be radically different. So I've developed sort of a writing exercise to look at that which might help show differences in interpretation much more clearly, to find out if people are really close in how they view characters or are really far apart. To do this, I've posted some video clips with a few character related questions. Video clips were chosen over dialog in text and pictures because video allows for watching body language, gauging inflection in a person's voice, etc. Questions based on specific scenes because sometimes, the body of work can seem overwhelming and things like fan fiction and discussion of the show can be confused for what actually happenson the screen.

I should mention I'm a huge Sara Sidle fan. Hence the focus on her character. Also, I'm a bit of a GSR shipper.
