Really enjoyed Avengers. Love Firefly and Harry Potter. Tolkien will always win for me though!

It was a hard fight between the Tardis and Serenity. In the end, I went with the Tardis. There are so, so many possibilities for adventures on the Tardis... including dropping in on Serenity. :-)

It was hard to choose! I voted for "Yer a wizard" (though, it would be "witch" in my case).
Not because I prefer the HP series over Tolkien (I don't, LotR remains my favorite book!) But because Rowling's world has the advantage of being our contemporary world, I'd not have to leave home, friends, and family behind to visit it.

It was a close tie between "It's called a Tardis" and "You're a wizard (witch)". Love, love, love LOTR, but I've never been that into TH. I've never seen The Avengers and Serenity ( Have I lost all geek cred? ) I went with Dr. Who because I've been into it longer than HP. Plus, I could hope that I'd be involved in a Time Lord "meta-crisis" like Donna and be turned into a human/Time Lord hybrid. But hopefully it wouldn't go wrong with me.  It would be great to be a witch, but hanging out with the Dr. would just be too hard to pass up.
Again, great question!

I have never seen Firefly - i had to look up the quote (one for Netflix to help me out on). I am not a fan of Dr Who or The Avengers. I like Harry Potter but for me none of them come close to Tolkien's work.
I would travel to Middle-earth and with the knowledge we have from today i would be a wise man, rich and proud, eventually falling to doom from that pride, but meh was fun while it lasted!

Any Time Lord can have a TARDIS which can go anywhere in time and space but the one we all want to travel in belongs to The Doctor and it's a blue, UK police box that is bigger on the inside than on the outside.
oh, and The Doctor can regenerate when he 'dies' so we have lots of Doctors from which we can choose to travel with.
I could go for Baker, Eccleston, or Smith. :-)

Really hard!
5. Serenity. Never watched this show, actually, so I can't really judge. I've heard good things, though.
4. Avengers. On the positive side, this would probaby mean I have superheroes. On the negative, I'd just be living in my same boring world and I don't much care for supers. On the other hand, they tend to die less frequently than the other options.
3. Wizard. Very tempting, as it'd mean I'd get all sorts of powers, at least if I studied hard enough. But no chance to travel to other worlds. Chance of death would seem a tad bit better than the other two options, but still pretty high.
2. Adventure. This was hard. I'd love to live in Middle Earth and the place could use a non-evil dragon. Gandalf generally keeps you safe, at least if you aren't a Dwarf. But it'd still be pretty dangerous. I'd love to meet the elves. And Smaug. Very difficult choice.
1. Tardis. This is my choice. Still quite dangerous to be a companion, but you get to visit so many worlds! I could basically travel around and have my pick of where to hop off. So this diveristy of choice gives it the edge over Middle Earth. I mostly just know the original series, So I'd go with Tom Baker or Sylvester McCoy. Of course, I've heard that there aren't any male companions on the new show and that they've turned it into a romantic thing (ugh), so maybe the new Doctors could use some variety.

So, you want me to choose between Malcolm Reynolds' crew, thirteen dwarves, a hobbit, a wizard and The Doctor!?
<Explodes with grizwald geekiness>
Sorry. Always get so gorram excited 'bout Browncoats.
But Tolkien still wins. I know how to solve this - Get the Tardis into Serenity and fly to Middle-earth...
How about that?
Could cause complications for the future of Middle-earth. I mean, I'm sure Jayne would try to blow Rivendell up. Maybe Wash can use his sarcasm on Smaug until Smaug dies of exasperation.
Think about it...

Even better. I chose the TARDIS because.....well, the TARDIS is awesome, and a lot of the other options include an awful lot of struggle and fighting. TARDIS travel has its perils too, but you've got the Doctor to come to the rescue. I'd choose Pertwee, Eccleston or Tennant, myself.

...they all exist in time and space, right?
:-)
It's funny, I would like the crew of Serenity but my first reaction was... life is so dangerous for them. Then I thought... Daleks and Cybermen and Weeping Angels and the seemingly perpetual 'end of the earth' sorts of scenarios are safer?
lol... but, the Doctor always saves things and again, there is so much potential there.
I mean, in my mind... the Doctor has landed, at least once, on the bridge of the Enterprise. The Doctor could visit all those other 'verses.

the story lines get kind of complicated for me in the new versions. Am I just too old now or are the plots just overly grand?
Did Eccleston's Doctor die? I'm not sure. And I can't remember what happened to Tennant's Doctor.
I like the production values of the newer series but the simpler story lines of the older series. I used to wish the Doctor would just kiss one of his female companions. Now I wish I'd never wished for that. I'm not sure he's kissed one but it's the overly emotional involvement in them that just gets a bit tiring.
But angst is in these days.

There are quite a few of us Browncoats around here. However, much as I love the crew of the Serenity, it's pretty rough living in that 'verse.

*spoilers*
- Rose gets stuck in a parallel universe and her voiceover says she "dies." But she keeps living there, just sadly without the Doctor.
- Martha was fine after she left and got a new man.
- Donna Noble "dies" because she loses all of her memories of being with the Doctor, and also loses out on spending the rest of her life traveling with him as she'd wished. But she still lives in Chiswick.
- Amy and Rory get touched by Weeping Angels, who don't kill you outright, just throw you back in time as they steal your life, and you still get a normal lifespan. But the Doctor parts with them seeing their graves.
But none of them go "boom" in a ship like Adric did in the old series.

I just tried to submit an answer to this, but I got carried away and it became a novella. I took so long that I timed out and wasn't allowed to post it. ARGGG!
I'll just add that, yes, there are male companions: Micki (sort of), Captain Jack (sort of), Wilf (sort of), and Rory, a full fledged companion.
Yes, there is some romance, but it's not sappy, IMO.
As much as I loved the old series - it will always have a special place in my heart - I prefer the new series.
