Farscape makes top 10 sci-fi characters list

[Mike]

I have some serious objections with this listing, mostly because of the absence of any Star Trek characters, especially Spock or Data. But at least Farscape was represented well.

I was a little annoyed to see all the Buffy characters in there. I mean, come on, one or two, I can accept. But four? Well, I can't really object, as I haven't seen the show consistently enough to really make any decision on it, but still...

[Mike]

Even Angel made the listing, for cripes sake! I think the Brits are on a Buffy high or something ;). Quite simply, Star Trek characters made this genre and at least two of them should be listed up there, from Kirk, Spock, Data, and Picard.

[Mike]

This is how my list would look.

1.Data
2.Picard
3.Spock
4.John
5.Aeryn
6.Chiana
7.Geordi
8.Worf
9.Gandalf
10.Gollum

I'm not so certain about everything south of Aeryn ;)

[McC]

What's south on Aeryn, on the other hand...:drool:

[Mike]

Gah, I forgot Zhaan, she's one of my all-time favorites. She'd come in around Aeryn and John. This isn't an exact science you know ;).

As a side note, I believe Spock was #11 on that list...

[Mike]

That's not acceptable IMO.

I agree... do they say how they arrived at this list? Was it just some magazine somewhere or is it based on public input? If the latter, it just means that there was a whole lot of Buffy/Angel and Farscape fans who participated... ;)
