    The Bridge is great. Saga wouldn't really thump you. She's very "by the book".

    I have The Shield on DVD boxset. Someday. Someday....

    Ah yeah, I'm only commenting on the pose and look of her in the picture provided, I'm sure she's a sweetheart!

    Watch the first episode of The Shield today or this week. You'll know after one episode if it's for you or not. That's not the way with every show, but I think it applies to The Shield more than others. Like, I wouldn't say that about Sopranos.

    Fran the Man - Great auld secondary character

    I had to abstain from that last round too. Never watched Cracker, and an image from Twin Peaks scared the shíte out of me when I was a kid and I haven't gone back since.

    As for this round, I don't like Stranger Things and think it's a travesty that Fran fúckin Cooney is in consideration here. Bringing shame to this celebration of sheep.


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


    Fran - like both characters, but Love/Hate a much better show overall, and aside from Nidge, Fran was the best character


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,605 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Fran a cool(a) boola nutty character

    Franno for this one, a great a man for the one liners. Are you a dirtbird or a ladybird? 😂

    Awwwwwwwh **** I loved houses character, he was pretty much a 1 man TV show for all of it, I'll give him a symptahy vote to avoid the walkover


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


    Big fan of both here, but gonna have to go with Walter White... or Heisenberg to give him his proper name.


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


    House - good show and couldn't get into Breaking Bad


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


    Walter white
    The transformation of his character from start to finish was so fascinating to watch, brilliantly played by cranston

    Walter White, because he's great.

    Loved both, bit going with House, great character but last season had a heart deep down (which he always had), it and it’s lupus ;) is a running joke in our house


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    Finely balanced this at 3 votes each

    Walter White, he sure knew his chemistry

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


    Walter White - one of the few characters in any show that completed a character arc in a way in which you didnt feel cheated. There was no happy ending but Heisenberg and Breaking Bad was great. Took me a while to get into it too


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87,605 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    House, just for his lovely bedside manner :p


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    Walter White, one of the most interesting character progressions in any TV show


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,130 ✭✭✭eldamo


    jesus, walter white just to end this,

    wasn't going to vote as i was getting annoyed that it was going to be a procession and walter would end up against tony soprano

    but he can't just go out to house no matter how entertaining house was, walter white was a much better character


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 52,216 Mod ✭✭✭✭Necro


    In a tough battle, it's Heisenberg who emerges the victor. 6-4 the result

    John Locke much better character, although there are certainly better LOST characters in general. Wouldn't be the greatest fan of Cumberbatch's portrayal of Sherlock, even though I like the adaptation as a whole.


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


    John Locke because don't tell me what I can't do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,785 ✭✭✭gypsy79


    Locke was one of best characters in Lost before it got lost

    Sherlock is just, erm, so........British

    So John for me


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


    Locke
    From his twist in the early episodes to his sad backstory, being a great hunter, his pairing up with Ben and of course Jeremy Bentham, Locke was one of the most fascinating characters on the show


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    John Locke for me. Lost had a great ensemble cast, but Locke's story was the one I was most invested in.


  • Posts: 0 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Sherlock beat John ****ing locke 100 times out of 100
