just interested in what you guys would have to say your faves are.

the winners were:

Quote:

The complete top ten is:
1. Doctor Who.

2. Spike (from Buffy).

3. Buffy.

4. John Crichton (from Farscape).

5. Aeryn Sun (from Farscape).

6. Han Solo.

7. Willow (from Buffy).

8. Darth Vader.

9. Angel.

10. Gandalf.

OK, looser fan geek that I am, I would still have to go with Han (he fueled too many of my dreams) ... Although, is Buffy Sci Fi? It never struck me as that genre...

I have to think about the others I would put on that list. Zun (from Farscape) and Kaylee from Firefly would be there, as well as the Troikia. (no not Jonathan, Warren and whasshisname--- Spock McCoy and Kirk. WTF--- no trekkies answered the poll?)

So, where do you guys stand?

It bears mentioning that the list was made in the UK, so tastes may run differently there. Most notably, Dr. Who was a 25+ year phenomenon there, but is hardly heard of in the USA, except the nerdiest of the nerds.

well, that explains some of it...

what are your choices?

Arvel Joffi · 01-02-2003, 02:32 PM

Han Solo.

Who are those other people?

Mageth · 01-02-2003, 02:32 PM

I'd have to put Mr. Spock at the head of my list.
Captain Picard.
Data, from ST:TNG.
Ripley from the Alien series.
The Terminator (both models).

Hmmm, well, I'd definitely put the Doctor and the Master from Dr. Who high on the list.

I'd also put Avery Brooks's character (Sisko) from DeepSpace 9.

Star Wars isn't really sci-fi, nor was LOTR, so I wouldn't include characters from either on my list.

I definitely would not include characters from either Dune or Babylon 5. They would be highly conspicuous in their absence, and I'd want them to be.

I guess I'd put Ian Holm's character from Alien on the list.

The three protagonists (protagonist, antagonist, and deuteragonist?) from The Quiet Earth.

What's that ... six so far? So I need four more.

I'd probably include Fienne's and Bassett's characters in "Strange Days", though it's only partially a sci-fi film.

Of course Mr. Spock from Star Trek.

There. That's ten.

I might add:
Rik Deckard and Roy Batty from Bladerunner. The entire cast was great.

I'd put in Avon and Vila from Blake's Seven.

Friar Bellows · 01-02-2003, 04:22 PM

Jacob Maker from Wax: Or the Discovery of Television among the Bees.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

The Doctor is definitely Number 1 in my book followed by Data from Star Trek, Han Solo (my very first movie star crush) and Captain Picard.

Would Joxer the Mighty and Xena count? Didn't think so.

PS. I just noticed where you're posting from Not Prince Hamlet.
