    I’ll give Deb one of her few votes because I haven’t gotten around to watching West Wing

    Jed bartlet
    Great actor who once made a movie in my home town, looks smaller in person

    Al Swearengen. He drinks and calls people hooplehead.

    Al Swearengen
    My nom, he is a fantastic character one of my personal favorites


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭thelostboys23


    Al swearengen. Best character in deadwood and a shame it ended after 3 seasons....the movie 10 years later wasn't enough


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Al Swearengen has a 4-2 lead here on Tyrion with under 30 mins to run.

    Is that a shock it feels like a shock

    1 for nidgey so he doesn't get walked over


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Ah balls, two great characters here, and I'm actually going to vote against my own nomination on this one, on account of National Pride...

    Nidge even though it kills me to vote against Omar, but Love/Hate was a phenomenal show for our little country


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,712 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Omar Little
    The scene of Omar in court is one of my favorite scenes, great actor and a fantastic character, All in the game

    Omar, he was almost other worldly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,026 ✭✭✭duffman13


    Omar and his shot gun were unreal! Wins for me


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Brooklynn Bitter Mushroom


    I was going to vote tactically but my pride won't let me.

    Omar Little- great, more iconic, character.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Omar has a 5-2 lead here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 227 ✭✭thelostboys23

    Malcolm, in the space.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Damn, another tough one. They're both more or less on a par for me

    Mal Reynolds because I think he has a better chance at going further in the competition


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Kareem was great but Malcolm was better. Vote for Malcolm.

    Mal Reynolds, great character, great show. Imagine if it had run 7 odd seasons where it could have gone.

    Nidge the little man you love and hate

    Mal for my vote, a great captain, great accent and hot


  • Posts: 13,688 ✭✭✭✭ Brooklynn Bitter Mushroom


    Kareem -Oz is class


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,215 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Malcolm Reynolds ploughs through with a 6-0 demolition, 2D just a fraction too late with his vote to prevent the whitewash

    Jimmy/Saul because he's a far better character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,012 ✭✭✭✭Alfred Borden


    Love both characters but it has to be the man in black. Compelling performance from Ed Harris.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,028 ✭✭✭PsychoPete


    Saul, too good of a character to be knocked out this early
