    Match 3

    The hits just keep on coming, can the Slayer take down Pinkman or is this as far as she goes?

    Oh this is mean!!! So hard pick! I can’t choose between them so have to abstain.
    ETA I was in about Mal v Picard

    This one easy, Buffy! Grew up watching her and loving her, she kicked butt.


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


    Buffy Summers because she's great and El Camino kinda ruined Jesse for me quite a bit


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


    A strong female ass kicker needs to progress, go on Buffy! soz Jesse but I'll still be your biatch


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


    Jesse because he's great and Buffy sucks.


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


    Buffy because she is quiet decent to look at!

    I was a big fan of buffy growing up, but I can't see why people think she was a great character, she was a run of the mill kick ass.

    I'll give it to pink man he was good in breaking bad tbf

    Going on 'drama', I have to give the shout to BB's Jesse Pinkman here.

    The likes of Buffy is weak sauce compared to such shows.

    Exactly. She's really just a Mary Sue at the end of the day.

    Buffy, cos Gellar was tasty

    Seen breaking bad more than once and Jesse not a very memorable character

    Could be an age thing, I’d never really seen much US tv, let alone one with a female lead. For me she was more than a Mary Sue. ;)

    Jesse, he is in a much better show

    Great battle this, Buffy leads 5-4 with loads of time left on the clock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,492 ✭✭✭✭AndrewJRenko


    Buffy, because my nieces loved her, and had a kick-ass role model.


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


    Jesse
    I like buffy too but it is difficult to vote against a character from one of the all time greatest tv shows,really talented actor too


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


    AndrewJRenko gets there first and Buffy slays Jesse on her way to the last 16, and no I won't stop using that line :P

    Two great characters here, but gonna go with T-Bag - stole every scene he was in


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,125 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Saul a really likeable rogue


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


    Jimmy McGill
    Incredibly complex guy with many layers to him, t-bag is a great villian though but have to go with saul himself


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


    Easily Saul here. Top class character in two top shows.


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


    T-Bag - a proper character.


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    T-Bag was brilliant and a character whose scenes you'd look forward to, but Saul is on a different level for me, and both BB and BCS piss all over Prison Break and then go back for a few shakes.

    Vote Saul.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,191 ✭✭✭Vestiapx


    Saul because he is a breakout charachter in a show that has depth that prison break can only dream of.


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


    T-Bag a one handed evil monster but scene chewer stealer

    The most overrated show and it's most overrated lead. It shows that dying young can be a blessing.


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


    T-Bag. He stole the show and upstaged every other actor with his scenery chewing.

    Have never seen the other show so too bad Saul :P

    T bag is a legend! Brilliant show and great character


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


    angel eyes with the definitive vote here, Saul Goodman takes this enthralling contest 6-4!!

    Match 5

    Two characters dominant so far, but one exits the tournament after this.

    Omar Little is just an iconic character with great charisma, whose name strikes fear in the hearts of all who hear it - never even heard of the other fella.

    Ted Hastings - because who doesn't love nicking bent coppers.

    Omar - best character in the Wire.

    Oh damn, this is too hard, ahhh I'll give Hastings the vote here. He already beat one character from The Wire who I voted for today and he's going to win here too. 'If you can't beat them, join them'.

    Don't try nicking Paulie's :pac:

    I'll go for Ted as he is the better character. This might be recency bias though.
