[Opinion] Which TV Drama Character Are You?

[Xenophon]

Someone ran a sitcom query last week. Let's try drama. Some years back, I read a short story somewhere on line called, "Major Archie 'Pappy' Crockett." It's about an old guy reminiscing about his past as a WW2 fighter pilot, then a career as a narcotics cop, and finally a blue collar bar owner. At the end, come to discover he's an Alzheimer's patient who's been wartching "Baa Baa Black Sheep," "Miami Vice," and "Archie Bunker's Place" while really over-identifying. Sorry. Can't do that here. Pick one and ride it out.

Me...lesee...I'm probably J.R. from the uralt drama "Dallas." Why? Folks here seem to think I'm a real prick they'd like to shoot.

Oh don't be so dramatic, Xenophon

I don't know about "identify with" but I've always wanted to play Doctor Who

Now THAT is a good one. I totally forgot about him.

Well, in a future life, I think it would be a perfect role for me as to be like Dr. Derek Shepherd from Grey's Anatomy.

He is a Neurosurgeon and also gets to be very popular amongst a lot of females in the movie

No need to lapse into fantasy or yearn for a next life. After some years of false starts I finally learned the ultimate secret to pleasuring women. The scales fell from mine eyes the day I listened, really listened, to my latest coulda-been screech into the phone, "Just stop calling me OK?! STOP CALLING ME!"

So which A-Teamer were you? Personally, I would've liked George Peppard better if---just once---he lost the cigar. The only thing better than Mr. T was Eddy Murphy's obscene imitation of him. Dirk Benedict (the one whose character was weirded out on LSD) was from a town about 40 miles from where I grew up. Small towns can be unkind: surrounding burgs opined, "Bad acid-trip? Everyone in White Sulphur Springs acts that way." (Thank gods, times change. Now all the small Montanny towns do meth.)

I find it hard not to identify with the plight of Delores from Westworld.

Spoiler: Show spoilers!

Just a poor little robot placed in a themepark, reborn over and over again every time she's killed with her memory wiped, compelled by the desire to be free in the real world, even after discovering the one she knew was a simulacra constructed by powers who wish to keep her trapped, and finding that even her own identity was just a script written by a total prick.

Call me melodramatic, I don't mind! Just a confused bird struggling with identity
