    Velma Dinkley - tough call between her and Vic, but Velma was by far the coolest of the Scooby Gang.

    Round 21

    Velma Dinkley Scooby Doo

    My favourite cartoon growing up and she really was the brains of the operation.

    Round 22

    Ziva David NCIS

    A bad ass who remains cool under pressure and with excellent Krav Maga moves. My all time favourite NCIS character and my inspiration for taking up self defence.

    Round 23 - you bastard , how do I pick a favourite child ?


    Jack Bauer 24 - tough guy but since each episode is less than 50 minutes I feel cheated

    Sherlock Holmes Sherlock - good but it's not Basil Rathbone


    Batman Batman The Animated Series nicely dark
    Black. All important movies start with a black screen.


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


    Dean Winchester - truly fantastic character, such a bad-ass. Carry On My Wayward Son!


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


    Jack Bauer - as much as I love Batman, Jack Bauer would kick Batman's ass.

    Just sticking with my nomination here.


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


    Sarah Walker - best character on a brilliant show


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 92,982 Mod ✭✭✭✭Capt'n Midnight


    Round 24


    Dexter Morgan Dexter -
    when you murder a murderer the number of murderers stays the same ?

    Sarah Walker Chuck

    Cordell Walker Walker Texas Ranger
    - Chuck Norris once got into a fight with a one-armed Ninja. Seeing that he had an unfair advantage, Chuck Norris ripped both of his arms off and one of his legs. He then roundhouse-kicked the ninja in the head, killing him instantly, and proceeded to sow his limbs back on using only a rusty tent spike and bailing wire.

    Round 22


    Dean Winchester Supernatural


    Ack, dean wins over ziva.


    ziva would have won over most others, but dean winchester is some character.

    pull up a six pack o beer and tell ghoul stories all night.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    Round 23

    Jack Bauer 24


    Extremely tough lineup this....


    my heart says batman, but my brain says no.....
    gotta lose batman, my heart would have chose them but brain has control atm.


    okay, next, between jack and sherlock...
    still extremely tough.


    okay, decision made, the yank wins this one.


    jack bauer of 24 gets my vote, they were the only one still awake this early in the morning to inspire my decision.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,404 ✭✭✭✭sKeith


    Round 24


    Dexter Morgan Dexter

    Simple enough choice this time, i wish they were all this easy to make.


    Dexter, because who doesn't love a little murder before breakfast.


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


    Vic Mackey - for all the stuff he did to suit himself, he did try fight and look after the underdog.

    Dean Winchester always working to save people, doesn’t care what it costs him, great heart, loves pie ;) and is sexy as god damn hell. Mr PC7 knows and accepts if fantasies come through I’d be riding off into the sunset in his Chevy Impala

    Sherlock, arrogant, calm, methodical, good character

    Dexter very clever show, always wanted justice (let’s just pretend it ended at season 4!)

    Votes above.

    Jack Bauer will win but Batman deserves votes, particularly his animated form.

    Dean is great, the others not so much.

    And a tough shoot out between Dexter and Cordell Walker but Chuck Norris knows more ways to kill a man so wins

    He was a boss

    Hank Voight - Chicago PD

    One of my picks so gets the selection here

  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Round 23

    Sherlock Holmes - Sherlock

    Not seen much or any of the other 2 shows, and Sherlock was a genius, he could fight and smart enough to know to keep on side of the street urchins and lowlifes for to get the dope(both kinds:pac:) and the word on the street.


  • Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Round 24

    Abstain, having not seen much of these shows


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,448 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Round 21 - Velma Dinkley

    Round 22
    Ziva David - Tough decision between Ziva and Hank on this one but Federal Agent beats Guns and Gangs Cop

    Round 23
    Jack Bauer - I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jack will probably go far in this. When that yellow clock appeared on the screen you just know that Jack was going to have a bad day, but the bad guys were going to have it much worse.

    dexter is the character here I am most familiar with. a lovely combo of crime fighting and serial killing! between the 2 he must have taken down ~100 criminals over the 7 (?) seasons.

    Round 23

    Sherlock Holmes Sherlock

    It would of been Bauer except for the absolutely dismissal final season of 24. Sherlock is an excellent character.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,517 ✭✭✭✭Tauriel


    Round 24

    Sarah Walker Chuck

    The spy wins this round hands down for me. Excellent pivotal character that really helped make Chuck one of the funniest shows around.


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


    Round 23

    Jack Bauer 24 - a brilliant character from one of my favorite tv shows


    Round 24


    Sarah Walker Chuck - dexter is cool and all but sarah would kick his ass, plus she is beautiful and that deserves an extra point

    Columbo trumps mcgyver for kick ass crime fighting.
    If it was a get out of a hole with a teabag and turnip competition, mcguyver would be winning it, but alas, its about crime fighting.

    Some very loose definitions of 'kick ass'.

    It is followed by crime fighting so I guess it depends on your interpretation :pac: I suppose if one is a 'kick ass' at something it might just mean they are exceptional at what they do.

    I don't think I ever saw Columbo throw a punch either, or even grab someone's arm to put the bracelets on them - doesn't diminish his 'kick ass crimefighting-edness' for me though, even if he wouldn't last 5 seconds against Bodie in a punch-up :D. Never seen him with a gun either.

    One episode I think he blagged his way out of going to the range to see if his shooting skills were up to scratch :pac:

    Yeah, Bodie's up against some thread heavyweights. It's not fair, but as an ex army man I'm sure he'd have a good chuckle and be philosophical about it all :pac:

    I suppose he's one of the 'bottom seeds' having gained re-entry through a wildcard, or the will of the posters. Probably why he's in the mix with the big guns :) He's got a fighting chance, his back's to the wall, but he's gotten through tougher scrapes, often without his mate Doyle.

    Dexter gets it for his stealth. he sneaks up on bauer/bodie, and swiftly knocks them out with a tranquilizer to the neck. curtains for them then!

    :D Too true Plenty - but watching the reruns on ITV4 this poster gets the impression that there are a few seconds cut here and there and some words dubbed over perhaps :pac:

    Bloody "brigades". Cowley wouldn't stand for this pc rubbish :pac:

    There's a good spoof of the show on youtube that pays homage using montages - it's dubbed over. If you have a spare 25 mins or so it might give you a laugh if you've not seen it before.
