    Saul, out and our chancer, really likable


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


    Man in Black. Far more intriguing character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,980 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Ed Harris Man in Black takes it for me, great performance

    Gotta be Saul. Fantastic performance and can't wait for the last season

    Hhmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    Mib is the better character but I do very much enjoy Jimmy, give it to MIB he was so ****ing mysterious in season 1


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


    Jimmy
    Great character and played brilliantly by a great actor in two awesome TV shows


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Saul Goodman pulls ahead by a single vote, 5-4 the score with ten mins left to run

    Vic Mackey - The Shield

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


    Vic Mackey because I actually want to watch The Shield very soon and I think I'll like him, but mostly because Helen Mirren is the Mariah Carey of acting. Can't stomach her. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,980 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    One of few tough female DCI, Jane it is, sorry Vic


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Vic! What a character, good bad and the ugly. Money and power were his god.

    As an aside for anyone who missed it, it’s one of the greatest shows and tv experiences ever! Amazing characters (Shane was my fav),
    Storylines and arcs. The final season left me shook! If you haven’t seen it I’m jealous, watch it it’s awesome.


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


    Vic as he was some piece of work!


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


    Vic Mackey
    Great character from one of my all time favorite tv shows, The Shield also had the best final episode i have ever seen

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Vic Mackey with a commanding 4-1 lead here.

    Agree with the above, The Shield is a fantastic show, just completing a rewatch at the moment as it happens (on Season 7, Episode 1 at the moment ;) )

    Jane Tennison. I nominated her and she’s great

    What kind of 11th Hour Shennanigans is this?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Votes tied at 4-4 as Vestiapx failed to give a reason for their vote. Decision coming shortly...


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    DCI got the nod from me before, but not now.

    Vic Mackey is one of the best characters of all time in my opinion and there are only probably 3 I'd rank above him.

    Vic gets my vote and advances to Round 3, 5-4 the result


  • Registered Users Posts: 19 Aoife2017


    Vic Mackey because he shot an innocent cop in episode one and somehow I was totally hoping he’d get away with everything in the end. The final scene with him confined to a little cubicle in an office nearly had me in tears for him!

    Match 14


    Next up and we have the guy who can make a gun out of some toothpaste, a rubber and some matches against our final Second Chance Showdown winner....

    Arthur is a stone cold killer


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Ohhhhh hard one! Loved MacGuyver, but trinity killer was excellent. For cheese Id go Mac ;), drama trinity.

    Ahhh ok Trinity killer for me, he seemed so stepford husband bit was bat**** crazy so I’ll go for him.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,943 ✭✭✭Sultan of Bling


    Arthur mitchell,

    Peak dexter. Was never the same after.


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


    Arthur because he's great and this is far enough for MacGyver


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


    Arthur Mitchell
    Good bad guy

    Arthur Mitchell leading 5-0 here, can Mac Gyver wrangle up a way to get out of this conundrum?


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


    Arthur - yawn matchup


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    It's borderline, but I'll take it so we can move on. 2D puts Arthur Mitchell through to Round 3, 6-0 whitewash

    Frank Underwood,

    Evil as fcuk. Great character to hate.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



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


    Marc Anthony because I hated Kevin Spacey even before his downfall


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,157 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Frank for early seasons, he was great, ruthless, dodgy accent and all.

    Right I’m off to bed, hopefully don’t miss any of my favs.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Only one match more being done tonight after this anyways pc7, so you likely won't miss too much :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,943 ✭✭✭✭the purple tin


    Frank Underwood. Lying, manipulative, sadistic, sociopath played beautifully by Spacey. Jed Bartlett would be an excellent prez to have but in reality we will always get someone much closer to Underwood.

    Marc Anthony as I fancy James Purefoy


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


    Got to be Frank Underwood. The character you love to hate and so quotable.

    And the butchery begins!

    I'm not very punctual.


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


    Marc Anthony - never liked Spacey.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,208 ✭✭✭Irish Aris


    Frank Underwood.
    Great character and great show for at least 4 seasons


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,585 ✭✭✭JeffKenna


    Frank Underwood - best villain of any TV show

  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,313 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    JeffKenna's vote puts Frank through to Round 3. The anti-Spacey mob have not mobilised yet, 6-3 the scoreline ;)

    Adebisi one of my noms and just simply the best characters from a groundbreaking yet underappreciated TV series


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,832 ✭✭✭✭TheValeyard


    Lorne Malvo.
    For that one scene where he murders everyone in the office building.

    All eyes on Kursk. Slava Ukraini.



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


    Lorne Malvo - really fascinating character.
