30 days of television: Day 23
Aug. 3rd, 2010 02:35 pmDay 23 - Most annoying character
Once I would have said "Wesley Crusher" straight off the bat. And, to be honest, I probably still would. I'm not sure what about the "overly intelligent 12 year old boy moving into puberty and discovering sex" trope makes me grind my teeth, but Wesley Crusher had it in spades.
Whatever the hell the name of David Caruso's character on CSI:Miami is. OK, that could just be David Caruso annoying the crap out of me, but I like to think it's the character. And the sunglasses "acting".
Mark Harmon's character and the other main male character on NCIS. I really, really could not stand to work with either of them, they irritate me in completely different ways. It always amazes me that none of the female characters have decked them yet.
Trevor Eve's character in Waking the Dead. Apart from the overall implausibility of a lot of the resolutions, this character was a complete tosser. Another one where I spent quite a bit of the series wondering when someone would slap him.
(It occurs to me that quite a few characters annoy me because they would be such pricks to work with.)
There's a female one stuck in the back of my brain somewhere, but I can't remember either the actress's name, the series name or the character name. I'll have to edit when/if I do.
