Kinda self-explanatory in the title there... If its been done before... Oops

It's hard to pick out just one ... I've broken it down into the sexes my lady at the moment would have to be Olivia Dunham from Fringe (awesome)

My main man would need to be Rick Grimes from the Walking Dead (which is also my fave show) this tv show is just nailbiting from start to finish!

Dr Who, hands down. I probably enjoy that show more than Star Trek.

Not going to pick a favourite incarnation of the Doctor becasue each actor's added their own little twist to the role. Best companion has to be Ace though (Sylvester McCoy era)
Won't put into words why, the following video is enough

Not really ever got into Doctor Who but have enjoyed some of the new stuff ... That clip was funny tho..'who you callung small...'

made me laugh!

Mine would be Stargate Atlantis with the very wonderful Dr Rodney McKay as my fave character.
Favourite female character is still Jessica Alba as Max in Dark Angel, just loved that series.

I also love Fringe, though not for Agent Dunham - lol. I've always liked Joshua Jackson since Dawson's Creek so it's a bonus he's in it.

It amazes me when people say they like Ace the most, I think I hated her even more than I hate Rose and that's saying something!!! The era when Dr Who truelly went down the toilet with a whimper IMO.

I'd much rather have a female companion who was proactive and useful in a tight spot, than one who did nothing but scream and whinge and whine about everything. In other words Peri. Having Ace running around blowing stuff up and generally making herself useful is a breath of fresh air after two years of Peri.

I would say Battlestar Galactica and Game of Thrones for shows.

For characters that's super hard to narrow down. For females - Six from BSG maybe. Males... probably Peter Dinklage really does an incredible job on Game of Thrones. Edward James Olmos is amazing too.

I'm not a big fan of Dr. Who - I tried watching it but didn't develop an appreciation for it.

[Mishi]

I've never seen Dr. Who, but everyone tells me I should watch it.

My favorite non-Star Trek character: Alfred Bester from Babylon 5.

Favorite non-Star Trek shows: Babylon 5, Nu Battlestar Galactica, and HBO's Rome

As a Brit the mind boggles - lol. Give it a go.

Yeah these two shows are definitely in my favourites list, season two of Game of thrones begins tonight in the UK!

I also love BSG recentlt completed a marathon of this

[MadamHoney]

I'd never even heard of Game of Thrones until someone at work mentioned it last week. It's now winging it's way to me in the post, hope it's as good as people are saying!!

[maneth]

Second vote for Alfred Bester / Babylon 5. NuBSG, Babylon 5, Farscape and SGU are my favorite sci-fi shows.

[mr Pointy Ears]

[Worf_ds9]

i m going to say

once apon a time. its just awesome. fave character its a tie emma swan and snow white.

[VolcanoLogic]

Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) from Battlestar Galactica.

[thepurpleone]

Eddie McClintock as Pete Lattimer on Warehouse 13 or David C. Giuntoli as Nick Burkhardt on Grimm

[Admiral Harmon]

Can't choose just one, so here's the ones that tie for favorite:

Favorite Horror Show: The Walking Dead
Favorite Sci-Fi Show: Babylon 5/Farscape/SG-1

Favorite non-Star Trek Characters: Alfred Bester (Walter Keonig) from B5 and Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) from Farscape.

Why Walking Dead? I'm no lover of the Horror Genre, too predictable in my mind, but this, while it's not a jump to scare you type of scary, it still is scary.

Babylon 5: Come on now. It's B5! It helped kick-start the story-arc shows in US TV.
Farscape: That's a hilarious show! Even funnier than Stargate SG-1 in many ways.
SG-1: It lasted 10 years. It's hilarious, and has great character developments.

As for Bester and Scorpius: They don't see themselves as the bad guys, and while they aren't actually there physically in many episodes (Bester only got like what, 9 or 15 episodes?) they have such a presence that they seem to be everywhere.
