I won't say all of us watch tv, but i do. It's one of the rare things that can silence a houseful of younger siblings. I've always found certain characters speak to me and become time honored favorites.

I was curious if any of you had Favorite Television characters or even series you'd care to share with the group.

I'll start by saying my current favorites are The shows Bleach, Gundam 00, and Heroes. Hiro has always been a favorite character of mine since the show started for obvious reasons.

I really like the new re-imagined Gilligan's Island that Ron Moore and David Eick are doing on the Sci-Fi channel. It's so much darker than the original.

My favorite character would have to be The Professor. The way he secretly pulls the strings from his laboratory is awesome. Dance, dance my puppets! I wonder, who is he really working for?

Television? Hmmm... I liked Harry from Night Court, which my dad loves to watch all the time. I love to watch all of the Law and Orders, as well as the CSI shows. So much fun!

But I don't have a lot of time for television. If you talk movies, I like the Punisher, movie and character (the new one) and Pulp Fiction. Both are fun!

I like that guy from House. I don't recall his name. I enjoy Paragons on the CW but sometimes its a bit to teen angsty for me.

Greg House is the character. Do you mean the actor?

I hope you mean the actor.

Grissom from CSI is my favorite character on TV.

I like Ed. Not Double D, or Eddy, but Ed.

That Ed is hiding something.

Yeah the actor.

Doctor Who hasn't been the same since they decided that Gallifrey was future-Earth and all the Time Lords and Time Ladies were "the next step after novas."

But I still watch it because it's Doctor Who, and Hugh Grant kicks arse. He can use his sonic probe on me any time.

It's about the only fictional television show I watch, however. Everything else is news and docs.

The man is named Hugh Laurie. And as hard as it may be to believe, he has a very strong British accent when he isn't playing "House"

Yes, I believe he was in Blackadder.

Seriously... who cares?

He's the guy who plays Greg House, can we move on please?

Aren't you the rude one.

Are you guys SHITTING ME?!?!

I guess we can always find something to fight about.

I can't believe that I'm the only Gilligan's Island fan on the site.

The original was cool. I don't know anything about this newfangled 're-imagining' but am dubious of it on general principles.

Second.

I thought you'd list those, Brother. And Hiro IS you. I swear they talked to you for the concept of the character.

To be honest Television doesn't do it for me... Although the character Alyx Vance I tend to feel I'm close to. At least in a few aspects.

Then again, I've always had a soft spot for Yomiko Readman... She was as obsessed with books as I'm obsessed with technology.

You carry a gun and follow around an emotionally-oblivious mute everywhere he goes?

Identification does not equal emulation.

In most cases, you're right...
If you can't guess by my occupation, Nathan Explosion.

Damn, girl genius, you missed the point of the question. Behind that veiled little jab at Half-Life was the implied question of "What exactly do you identify with in that character?" Is it just because she's a techie? In that case, do you identify with Gadget the mouse, as well?

Gadget? Who in the holy hell is that?

Also, my intended tone was joking, not matter of fact.

I'm fully aware of Alyx being the sidekick of a silent protagonist. She has better dialog anyways in that game.

Just be glad I don't try to emulate Washu. You all would be... pretty afraid of me.

*raises an eyebrow* righhhhttt and the use of at least one fire extinguisher this week in your room was because you left incense burning right?"

Sorry, that was a slip of the solder. Really. I needed to get a microprocessor in place and a slip of the hand made me lose about 3000 yen of motherboard.

I keep telling father I NEED A workshop. I can properly set it up so mishaps like that won't be an issue.

Bloody hell, it's like you guys think I'm building some sort of warrior robot race in my room!!!

If a teenager can afford the shit to build a warrior robot whatever then the world is way more fucked up than it should be.

Again, not doing so. And it'd not be cost effective.

Now enhancing the human body through power armor... that's a worthy endeavor. The lives that could be saved in disasters, the increase of efficiency in construction!

Ody, dude, tell me you ain't playin in that sandbox.

The hell? A cartoon mouse with goggles and an IQ...

Only Disney could concieve such a thing.

And what sandbox do you refer to, Vile?

Well, I ain't real sure to be honest.

Either the sandbox with the rest of you nerds or the sandbox where he wants to fuck folks like Vixen.

With all due respect to Miss Vixen, fur isn't my flavor, buddy. I'll take my ladies pink, brown, yellow, red, and that's about it. I might make exceptions for a dame with green skin, if one comes along, but I'm drawing the line at bipedal humans.

I had me an albino princess once. One of them gothy types? Pale pale pale with pretty pink eyes and a mane of white hair like an angel. Sweet lookin and pretty as a picture. And dark as sin in the sack.
