Volourn Posted December 12, 2008 Author Posted December 12, 2008 For some reason I forgot the following characters are worthy: Matlock, Magnum, and Captain jean-Luc Picard, DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.
Guard Dog Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Ooo oooh, can we please have a discussion on which Star Trek captain was the best. I would buy a ticket to see than one. There would definitly be some cut and paste material there. In all seriousness, Star Trek in all it's iterations has brought some very engaging stories but the characters have always struck me as flat. DS9 was an exception some of the time.

samm Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 (edited) Well, Janeway would win Or Picard. Maybe Sisko. Or Kirk, for old times' sake. Or Archer, because he was well played. The Doctor (don't ask me which version - that's a whole other list)Yes. Unless you don't mean the one from Voyager Also, the whole group (except maybe the Doctor?) from Firefly. Professor Farnsworth and Bender (Futurama) There aren't many TV-shows I've watched more than two episodes... Edited December 12, 2008 by samm Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
Gorgon Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 I prefer Admiral Adama. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
taks Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Yes. Unless you don't mean the one from Voyager i took it to mean The Doctor from Dr. Who. Professor Farnsworth and Bender (Futurama) i should add that i have the first 2 direct2dvd movies (bender's big score, the beast with a billion backs) and the third (bender's game) is on its way from amazon. we won't watch it till xmas night, however, as it is part of john's big movie/ps3 game package gift. i first saw the guy that plays michael westen from burn notice on the last or next to last season of crossing jordan. not a bad show with some fair characters. we mostly watched it because of the independent, empowered woman aspect for my wife. anyway, he was good in that role, too. taks comrade taks... just because.
Gorgon Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Futurama somehow got really crappy, from really awesome no less. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Aram Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Thomas Magnum, Lt. Columbo, Al Bundy, and Archie Bunker have all been mentioned. I'll add Jim Rockford, of The Rockford Files--basically the greatest TV private detective of all time. And Omar Little, of The Wire. He's the most bad ass character in what is, without a doubt, the greatest achievement in television of this decade. Plus one more: If you know who this is, you know why he's great.
Gorgon Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Anyone notice what tune Omar is whistling when he's stalking someone. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Kaftan Barlast Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Ooo oooh, can we please have a discussion on which Star Trek captain was the best. I would buy a ticket to see than one. The thing is that everyone knows Jean-Luc Picard/Patrick Stewart is the ultimate captain, but people like to argue so some people pretend they like someone else better. Edward James Olmos as William Adama in BSG is an awesome captain aswell but he doesnt have the same charm and character as Picard.

Yes, until that regrettable day that happens to all adults, when you have to admit to yourself that Star Trek simply doesn't rate. Until that day, Picard is the bestest captain.

Arkan Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Charley from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. This is a slept-on show and the funniest thing on television right now (just finished their 4th season). Six (the Cylon) from Battlestar Galactica! "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.

Arkan Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Edward James Olmos as William Adama in BSG is an awesome captain aswell but he doesnt have the same charm and character as Picard. Yeah, but he makes up for it in grit and intensity. Add to my list: Data from ST:TNG "Of course the people don't want war.

samm Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 *shoots right back* The ones from Firefly are great! I don't know Buffy / Angel however. Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
SteveThaiBinh Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 Those of you who listed any Joss Whedon related characters will be shot immediately. Well, that appears not to have happened. Buffy is iconic and needs no defence. "An electric puddle is not what I need right now." (Nina Kalenkov)
Pidesco Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Visc mentioned Malcolm Reynolds, and I agree with him. Actually, I was never a Joss Whedon fan, as I've always considered Buffy, well, mostly crap(except for the geeky lesbianism. Geeky lesbians are always awesome). But, along came Firefly, and now I think Whedon is made of awesome and win. It really had kick ass characters, both due to the script and the generally spot on acting. The only character in Firefly that came out somewhat half arsed was Inara, and that was just because the chick who played her couldn't act even if her life depended on it.

Kaftan Barlast Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Its a scientific fact that watching more than a few minutes of Angel at one time will make you permanently gay. The CIA wanted to use it to torture prisoners at Abu Ghraib but even Cheney deemed it to vile an act to allow it. Also, in 2002, an entire canadian village commited collective suicide after being accidentally exposed to the audio of a Firefly episode that was broadcasted locally over AM radio by Al-qaeda terrorists. The horrendously bad themesong was actually written and recorded by Whedon as part of a satanic ritual performed in the Manson family ranch. Listening to the song will cause bleeding from the ears and nose, aswellas as severe cases of haemorroids and the comming of armageddon.

Gorth Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Those of you who listed any Joss Whedon related characters will be shot immediately. Well, that appears not to have happened. Buffy is iconic and needs no defence. Buffy would kick Kaftans butt anytime The series was never my cup of tea though. I sort of liked Angel, at least the first two seasons that I did get to see of it. I just don't watch that much tv anymore (I even got one of my entries wrong, Finding Nemo featuring movie characters, not television characters). Life is too short to watch tv “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Killian Kalthorne Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 The only Buffy/Angel character I like was Spike because with or without a soul he was such a pain in the ass. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
Kelverin Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 Never seen an episode of either Buffy/Angel. BIG fan of Firefly, but the series was not around long enough to merit a top 10 character. I can't believe I forgot Omar from The Wire what a great character, well written, acted and a bad ass to boot. J1 Visa Southern California Cleaning
