Come, jump off the cliff! Everybody's doing it!

Stolen from fikgirl, who stole it from estirose:

Choose 10 of your fandoms and summarize them in one sentence each. Then put them up and see if your friends can guess them.  Variant:  I'm using quotes from the various fandoms.

1.   "No pearly gates for you.  No choirs of angels neither."
2.   "There can be only one."  (This is a gimme)
3.   "Fantastic!"
4.   "There are many copies."
5.   "Zeus.  Apollo.  Come."
6.   "My spider-sense is tingling."  "Spider-sense?" <--Not Spider-Man.  Extra points for obscurity.
7.   "I don't have a gun.  I don't know karate.  I could put on a costume and rescue cats from trees."
8.   "I need your sense of self-worth to hinge on your job!  Otherwise you're no good to me."
9.   "Do you know how hard it is to think straight with a piece of rebar through your torso?"  "Actually, I do. Benefits of a Sunnydale education."
10.   "And I thought you lived in a school."

Update to edit: Clearly I made this too easy. The first two comments have nailed them all. Tsk.

Good work, Fikgirl and Laurel. The Geek Force is strong in you both!

Comments

1. Dead Like Me
   
2. Highlander
   
3. ?
   
4. Battlestar Galactica
   
5. ?
   
6. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (?)
   
7. Heroes
   
8. ?
   
9. Angel
   
10. X-Men

Actually, number 5 and number 8 are making me crazy, 'cause I know I've heard those quotes before and I will probably kick myself when I find out the answers.

Ones not already guessed at (as I write this):

3. Doctor Who

5. Magnum, P.I.

8. House

And I think 6 isn't Buffy (as someone else guessed), but might be Gilmore Girls though I'm not entirely sure ('cuz it sounds like the sort of thing that could've been said on a couple other shows I like and since I use that phrase myself a lot . . . heck, I dunno).

I love that Angel quote....I just saw that episode the other day. :)

I didn't recognize all of them, but I have to say you made such good summaries that one of the ones that I recognized is one I've never seen. I haven't seen Dead Like Me, but I knew from "No pearly gates for you. No choirs of angels neither," which fandom that was. B-)

I felt rather old that the only two I knew right away were #2 and #5, and I swore I had to be hallucinating over 5 until I saw you said Magnum was correct. /facepalm
