    Just over an hour to go before kick off.

    What we have:

    120 characters ready to battle it out for the title of greatest character (drama edition)

    The first round will be first to Five votes, with valid reasoning (any reason at all), or most votes after the time period of 45 minutes. Any ties will as always be settled by myself.

    And don't worry if your character misses out, they will get a second chance to qualify in one of four Second Chance Showdowns :D


    See you all at 11am!!

    Round 1


    Here we go folks, let's kick things off with a doozy ala Game of Thrones shall we?

    Match 1


    Rupert Giles - Buffy The Vampire Slayer


    340?cb=20171023222833


    VS



    David Haller - Legion


    latest?cb=20180525150235


    First to Five Votes Progresses, or most votes after 45 mins


  • ✭✭✭✭


    Rupert Giles - good character and I'm unfamiliar with the other show.




  • Rupert. He’s a sexy posh bloke.

    Rupert Giles - easily one of the best characters on Buffy and had some of the most bad-ass moments of the series

    'Ripper' has a healthy 3-0 lead with plenty of time left on the clock

    And as the clock expires, Rupert Giles takes down David Haller with a 3-0 victory.

    Match 2

    Slow moving this morning, we shall see if this one can grab the imagination a bit more..

    Frank Underwood - House Of Cards

    VS


    Dean Winchester (Supernatural)

    Dean Winchester because Carry On My Wayward Son and he can do both drama and comedy extremely well.

    Not to mention Kevin Spacey is an absolute creep.

    Frank Underwood

    great character

    I love them both but I'll go with Frank Underwood. Like the poster above said, Spacey is a creep, so is FU and that's why he worked so well.

    Just over ten mins to run and Frank Underwood leads 2-1




  • Frank Underwood- whatever you think about Spacey, FU was a great character and he played him brilliantly.

    And Frank Underwood has enough support to progress ahead of smouldering Dean. I was saying Boo-urns!!!

    Match 3



    Fiona Gallagher (Shameless US)

    VS


    Kareem Said - Oz

    Damn, I love both these characters.

    Kareem Said was a great character in a fantastic ensemble, where I feel Shameless US would not have been a success were it not for Emmy Rossum as Fiona Gallagher, she carried the show.

    My vote here is for Fiona Gallagher

    Kareem, great character, in great show.

    Can't beleive David Haller is gone already though :(




  • Fiona carried that show untill she left,




  • Or what le var said, also no idea where that thumb came out of

    Besidess, isn't Shameless a comedy series? Doesn't belong here?

    Wiiki says comedy-drama, sure. But comedy comes first. It also says dark comedy. But dark comedy is still comedy.

    Ok, well having watched it, I can confirm that it is a drama. Its more of a drama than Legion is.

    Most Dramas these days have elements of Comedy to them so are often referred to as Comedy-Dramas or Dramedys.

    Yeah I have to agree that shameless is a drama with elements of comedy, in particular Frank who's hilarious

    Match 4

    A familiar face makes an appearance here....

    Geordi La Forge - Star Trek TNG


    220px-GeordiLaForge.jpg


    VS


    Spike - Buffy The Vampire Slayer

    I did not nominate Geordi before anyone asks, and my vote may shock some of you...

    Spike as he was on my shortlist and just an all around great character. One of the best in the Buffy-verse...




  • Spike - he’s way cooler looking

    Spike - great character in a great show.

    I will vote for LeVar, not a fan of Buffy and Spike looks like a drug dealer.

    Not a fan of Buffy, but Spike was one of the (VERY) few decent characters in it, so go with that.

    Ah man, first match, had an opinion, missed it.
    Second match, had an opinion, missed it.
    Third match, no opinion, waited it out.
    Fourth match, why are you doing this to me, man I love both of these, TNG was probably the first drama I properly enjoyed as a kid, geordi was super.

    But I probably have to go for spike, only supposed to be a short term baddy but was so awesome he stuck it out to the bitter end.

    Spike it is, sorry geordi, you would have beaten a lot of the others.

    eldamo's vote seals passage for Spike as he becomes the first to reach the required quota. 5-1 the scoreline

    I watched it all back in the day, but started a re-watch there the other night. It has aged very well.

    Paulie takes down He-Man, but takes a few shots in the chops in the midst of the battle. 5-2 the scoreline
