Boardsies Decide... TV's Greatest Drama Character

Sawduck

Omar Little
Everything he did and everything he said was awesome, especially the courthouse scene

Omar - The way he beat that slimy Lawyer up in the courtroom was mint

Have also never seen the other show but, for me that's no reason not to vote

jimmymack

Another vote for Ted, Adrian Dunbar did a great job with him, definitely the highlight of Line of Duty for me

Hey, you at least saw one of them and aren't voting for büll**** reasons

pc7

Stu, I love your username, recently reread The Stand and every time you post I think of the character. Not totally OT Necro as they are making a tv series of it, maybe the Stu character we will make it into this next time

Yester

Ted, great man to sort out bent coppers.

Necro

Ted Hastings bangs up Omar with a 6-4 victory. Colour me shocked with that result tbh

Necro

Match 6

Does Special Agent Cooper have the smarts to outwit the Trinity Killer in this next match?


Arthur Mitchell aka The Trinity Killer - Dexter




VS


Special Agent Dale Cooper - Twin Peaks

pc7

Trinity killer for me, great acting, great storyline before they ruined the show. Out and out looper.

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Another match where I love both characters, would be happy to see either progress, but gonna go with Special Agent Dale Cooper here, an absolute joy to watch

In a show full of stone cold killers it's hard to be the standout cold stone killer, vote arthur

Also had the good grace not to become a lumberjack

Yester

Trinity. It was def the best season of Dexter.

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

Dale Cooper
I think he might be a nicer person, plus i love twin peaks

Sawduck

Can't believe Omar is gone already, i need to watch Line of Duty

JP Liz V1

Trinity Killer more for the excellent actor John Lithgow

:Never seen either show so will abstain

PS - If one had to have seen every/both shows in the matchups this comp would run until
Christmas or gotten lost in the boards ether imo

Necro

Trinity leads 4-2 here currently.

Next match will be the last one of the night folks.

Thanks PC, I love it too I had just finished reading The Stand for the first time and also didn't like my Boards username which was chosen in 2009 when I didn't think I'd be on the site for 10+ years.

Poor Stu got knocked out in an earlier round here. Hopefully the new TV series of The Stand is good, I believe James Marsden got the Stu role.

Ta Stu.. Very amiable folk here

TheValeyard

I'll vote Trinity. Move things along. Better character.

ShaneU

Dale Cooper/ Dougie please. Lost his mind and still loved the coffee

Yes we do spoil each other in here

the purple tin

Cooper. An all-American hero.

For Coop fans. There is an excellent autobiography book by him, it's a transcript of his recording from the time he was a child up until he arrives at Twin Peaks. It fills in a lot of backstory from series 1 and 2.
It's out of print but you can download it in PDF form here

Necro

Trinity leads 5-4 with under 10 mins to run...

Necro

And Agent Cooper falls to Trinity's hammer, Arthur Mitchell progresses as the time limit expires.

Necro

Match 7

The notorious lumber.... errr I mean serial killer takes on the survivalist in our final battle of the night


Dexter Morgan - Dexter






VS



John Locke (LOST)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

John Locke a much more iconic character

John locke, dexter is dead to me

Sawduck

Locke
Better character in a better show

Trigger

John Locke, dexter went to shìt!

JP Liz V1

Dexter a well organised clean killer

ABSTAIN

Dexter - from my limited viewing he was very skilled at his craft - but don't know enough about him or the show

The other guy - could never get into the show cos I thought it was crap, but he might have been a good character - looks like a cool foo care all the same

so:

No vote here

I agree, none of the above. Between the lumberjack and the heaven defence I can't vote for either. Both started strong and are now dead to me.

Ted Hastings beat Omar little?

Don't get me wrong, ted is one of my favourite characters of recent times.... But..... But.... But.....

Omars going.... Omars going.....

Yester

I've only seen the first 4 seasons of Dexter and it was still great then. So Dexter.

JeffKenna

John Locke, the guy was in a wheelchair for life and started walking again!

Necro

John Locke has enough to overcome Dexter and advance to the last 16.

Back at 11am again tomorrow folks and we should get through Round 3 at the very least

Actually, you're somewhat right. Not about it being overrated show or lead. But about how dying young can be a blessing. I don't think the show would be held in such a high esteem if it did continue for four or five or more series. Would they have managed to sustain the charm and innovation of the first series, or would it have got stale? We'll never know.

I liked Firefly, but didn't care much for Serenity*, so for me that might indicate that it would have gone stale.




*Though for full disclosure, I saw Serenity first and hadn't a fupping clue what was going on. I might I have liked it better if I saw them in the right order.

Frightening to think that some of ye decide who enters Dáil Éireann.

Necro

Kicking off in about an hour. 9 matches left to get through for Round 3, then we will have our last 16!!

Necro

Match 8

HBO showdown here to kick us off today.


Detective Jimmy McNulty - The Wire





VS


Jaime Lannister - Game of Thrones

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Jaime Lannister as he was the best character in Game Of Thrones, whereas McNulty probably wouldn't even be in my Top 10 characters from The Wire, even though he's still great.

Alfred Borden

Tough one but I'll go for Jaime as there was more depth to his character.

Jaime Lannister - pretty much the only worthwhile character to follow at the end of Game of Thrones.

Trigger

Jimmy as a protest vote because Jamie already had his day in the sun and lost

pc7

Pass, haven’t seen either

TheValeyard

Jamie, the Wire has too many fan boys in here. And he was a redeemable sort of way

Necro

Jaime Lannister takes down our final Wire character to advance 4-1
