Gul Dukat Vs. Ben Linus – Ongoing
A special forces soldier on his home planet of Seteda, Ronon joined the Atlantis expedition after the team saved him from being a Runner for The Wraith.
Vs.
Det. Alexandra Eames (Kathryn Erbe)(Law and Order Criminal Intent)
A police detective in the Manhattan Major Case Squad, and is partnered with Robert Goren. Her pragmatic, analytical investigative style serves as a balance against Goren’s often eccentric investigation and interrogation methods.
An interesting match-up…
I was pretty indifferent to him as a character for awhile, until I saw the Sateda episode in Season 3, I think? Then ~oh man~. I love how frustrated he gets with Earth/IOA/SGC policies. Plus, Ronon and John in suits = ^__^
also, where is Charmed in your list?!?!?!?!?!?!? >:O
Det Alexandra Eames – 1
Shame an awesome character had to go out early, but Ronon advances!
Denny Crane (William Shatner)(Boston Legal)
A founding partner for law firm Crane, Poole and Schmidt, he himself insists he is the greatest lawyer in history and has never lost a case, stating that his record is 6,043-0.
Vs.
Delores Herbig (Christine Willes)(Dead Like Me)
Delores is George’s boss at Happy Time. She runs a webcam show from her apartment called "Getting Things Done with Delores". She seems very happy and positive but is in fact quite sad and lonely, and is looking for a long-term relationship.
A minor match-up, but i know who i’m rooting for!
Easily..
Hands down.
DELORES.
Delores Herbig – 2
A close one, but i’m glad Denny got through!
Major General Jonathon "Jack" O’neill (Richard Dean Anderson)(Stargate SG-1)
Leader of SG-1, and later the SGC, Jack O’neill is a charismatic character, responsible for the downfall of many Goa’uld, and saving the universe again and again and again and again.
Vs.
Det. Robert Goran (Vincent D’onofrio)(Law and Order: Criminal Intent)
The eccentric partner of Det. Eames, Goran a quirky yet extraordinarily intelligent investigator and criminal profiler, known for his instinct and insight. Often, Goren’s intuition turns out to be the case-breaker, rather than solid evidence.
I have a feeling this is slightly unbalanced. And a shame to get both the Criminal Intent guys in the open so early. But, VOTE!
jack o’neill!
;o
Det. Robert Goran – 0
Well that was a rout…
Dr. Derek Sheppard (Patrick Dempsey)(Grey’s Anatomy)
Head of neurosurgery, his charismatic, charming personality and good looks earned him the nickname “McDreamy” among Meredith and her friends.
Vs.
Major General George Hammond (Don S. Davies)(Stargate SG-1)
Formerly long running commander of the SGC, this tough nut has given orders most military commanders dread, and is now head of the Department of Homeworld Security.
Two SG-1 characters in a row, and both of the same rank. This could be an interesting battle!
(this’ll probably be the only vote for him)
Eames is good but Ronon is far better than Eames
only coz kinda hot.
hammond by like a mile <3
A little off topic, dont you think? ๐
ditto
patick dempsey or w/v is funny looking and while I don’t think he’s ugly, I don’t understand all the OMGHESSOHOT craze over him
Dr. Derek Sheppard – 3
A late rush of votes puts the second SG-1 character through.
Jack Bauer (Keifer Sutherland)(24)
Rumoured to be the only one that can take out Chuck Norris, this man needs no introduction. He can do absolutly anything, and all in 24 hours.
Vs.
Brendon (Brendon Small)(Home Movies)
Brendon acts out his anxieties and problems through his movies. He has had his trusty camcorder since just after toddlerhood, and has been making films incessantly ever since.
Obvious win is obvious.
And monster fail for not including at least one of Mulder and Scully, jftr.
Or ANY Star Trek characters, at all. I could go on for some time.
I love home movies!
And monster fail for not including at least one of Mulder and Scully, jftr.

I am considering adding more shows and making the rumble longer. Don’t worry. =D
might i suggest you accept nominations also.
Brendon – 5
The first upset, imho!
The rumble is now on a week hiatus, whilst the nominations (Thread 54883) take place!
Head of the Graveyard shift at the Clark County, Nevada crime lab, Grissom is highly intelligent and acts as the father figure to others at the crime lab.
Vs.
Reginald "Bubbles" Cousins (Andre Royo)(The Wire)
Bubbles is a recovering heroin addict with a vast knowledge of surviving on the streets of Baltimore.
We’re back! The next update will be on Saturday 17th.
Grissom
Its Gil Grissom
csi sux
CSI blows
Bubbles – 3
I’m glad Grissom went though. Whilst CSI may be bad, i love his character.
Ned (Lee Pace)(Pushing Daisies)
A piemaker who can revive the dead with his touch, for the price of never touching them again. Obviously this poses a problem when he revives the love of his life…
Vs.
Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall)(Dexter)
By day, Dexter is a forensic blood spatter analyst for the Miami-Metro Police Department. In his own time, Dexter is a serial killer. He was taught by his adopted father, Harry, to only kill other killers who have escaped the traditional legal system, or were never suspected in the first place.
My personal number two seed, after Jack O’neill, against a big hitter. This will either be a good contest, or a rout.
Dexter – 1
What a shit turn out. Thanks to all those who voted.
Dr. James Wilson M.D (Robert Sean Leonard)(House)
Wilson is House’s best friend, and head of Oncology at the hospital. House once referred to Wilson as "a buddy of mine people say ‘Thank you’ to when he tells them they are dying."
Vs.
Margret "Log Lady" Lanterman (Catherine E. Coulson)(Twin Peaks)
Most residents regard her as at least a bit crazy. This is due in no small part to her eccentric appearance of always carrying a small log in her arms, in which she seems to share a psychic connection, often dispensing advice and visions of clairvoyance which she claims come from the log itself.
Hopefully we’ll get a better turn out for this round.
season finale was superb and Wilson’s character was v. believable imo
House is pretty much the only tv show running today that I like.
Log Lady – 4
Good turn out, thanks guys <3
Natalie Teeger (Traylor Howard)(Monk)
Became Monk’s personal assistant after the departure of Sharona. She is a devoted friend to Monk, aswell as assistant.
Vs.
Charlotte "Chuck" Charles(Anna Friel)(Pushing Daisies)
Revived from the dead by her first kiss Ned, she most now deal with life without touching her love and not seeing her aunties.
Oh Chuck :swoon:
Natalie Teeger by far, man
Natalie Teeger – 2
O Chuck :swoon:
Father Dougal McGuire (Ardal O’Hanlon)(Father Ted)
Renowned for sleeping in his Republic of Ireland shirt and He-Man sheets, the dense Father Dougal is one of life’s innocents. He quite cheerfully admits that "the lights are on but no one’s home."
Vs.
Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner)(Star Trek: TNG)
Built by Noonien Soong, Data is an android who serves as second officer and cheif operations officer aboard the Enterprise. Depite having problems graping at humanity, he is a much loved member of the crew.
We’ll pretend Nemesis never happened >.>
i cant possibly pick one over the other here.
I would let Data put it wherever he wanted to. True story
next you’ll have mulder vs garik ;_;;
Data – 6
Data goes through. Now to see what the randomiser has in store for Bryan next.
Rod Sterling (Himself)(The Twilight Zone)
Host of The Twilight zone, stories of people who face unusual or extraordinary circumstances. Rod delivered monologues at the beginning and end of each show.
Vs.
Chris Rock (Tyler James Williams)(Everybody Hates Chris)
Chris is bullied at school, tortured by his sister, shown up by his brother, victimized by the racist teaching staff, gets his money stolen by neighborhood thugs, underpaid at work, receives tough love from his "ghetto-snobbish" mother, and distressing treatment from his cheap father. Normal kid then?
GOGOGOGOGO
Chris Rock
Rob Sterling
Chris Rock – 1
Rod advances!
Elim Garak (Andrew Robinson)(Star Trek: DS9)
Garak is an exiled spy from the planet Cardassia Prime and a former member of a prestigious Cardassian intelligence group called the Obsidian Order. Due to unspecified reasons, Garak was exiled to the space station that became known as Deep Space Nine, where he runs a tailoring business.
Vs.
Ross Geller (David Schwimmer)(Friends)
Paleontologist and older brother to Monica, Ross doesn’t exactly have luck when it comes to women!
This one is pretty obvious imho. If it doesn’t go the way i’m thinking i’ll just rig the vote or something.
Ross Geller
-rep for you Calum. and now Giga Flare.
Ross Geller – 3
The fact Ross got any votes makes me sick.
Rochelle Rock (Tichina Arnold)(Everybody Hates Chris)
Chris’s mum, Rochelle is a thirty-seven year old humorously sassy and intimidating woman. She works part-time as a realtor, in a small real-estate office.
Vs.
Dave Lister (Craig Charles)(Red Dwarf)
Lister is recognisable for his self-made leather jacket and hat, his boiler suits and his lengthy dreadlocks that he grows only from the back of his head (which could possibly be considered a dreadlocked mullet).
Rochelle Rock – 1
Obvious win.
Number Six (Tricia Helfer)(Battlestar Galactica)
The first example of Cylons being able to adopt human form and emotions, Number Six is a seductive Cylon infiltrator.
Vs.
Captain Katherine Janeway (Kate Mulgrew)(Star Trek Voyager)
Female captain for the USS Voyager, Janeway faces steep odds in the Delta Quadrant and never fails to come out on top, or get her crew home.
Quite a nice match.
Captain Jenway – 4
Number Six – 2
Not what i expected. But i am pleased.
John Locke (Malcolm David Kelley)(Lost)
John was cured from paralysis upon landing on the island. Although he typically has a calm demeanor on the island, his flashbacks portray him as angrier and more emotional.
Vs.
Michelle Richardson (April Pearson)(Skins)
Confident in her appearence, Michelle is Tony’s primary love interest. Despite the massive hurdles in their relationship, they miraculously stay together till the end.
John Locke – 2
My first tie-breaker vote goes to Michelle. Lost sucks.
Gul Dukat (Mark Alaimo)(Star Trek: DS9)
In the words of Ronald D. Moore, "I don’t think of him as being completely evil through and through … He can be charming. He can be generous. He can do the right thing. All of that somehow makes his ‘evil’ actions all the more despicable, because we know that there was the potential in there for him to be a better person."
Vs.
Ben Linus (Michael Emerson)(Lost)
Leader of The Others, Ben arrived on the island at the age of 10. The hallmark of Ben’s persona is his impeccable ability to lie and manipulate the people around him in order to serve his own agenda.
Another Lost character. Oooo.
Gul Dukat – 3
Ben Linus – 3
Dukat gets the tie breaker due to lost being shit and Dukat being awesome.
Det. Odafin Tutuola (Ice T)(Law and Order: SVU)
A former Narcotics detective, Tutuola replaced Monique Jeffries after she left the SVU squad in 2000. He was then paired with Det. John Munch.
Vs.
Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan)(Twin Peaks)
Cooper is an FBI agent who arrives in Twin Peaks to investigate the brutal murder of the popular high-school student, Laura Palmer, and falls in love with Twin Peaks and gains a great deal of acceptance within a tight knit community
Agent Dale Cooper – 3
Fin ๐
Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart)(Star Trek TNG)
Debatably the best Captain of the Star Trek franchise, Picard was the commanding officer of the USS Enterprise, D and E. Going boldly, Picard has faced everything the galaxy could throw at him and come out on top.
Vs.
Alison Cameron M.D (Jennifer Morrison)(House M.D)
Auto-immune fellow on House’s team of diagnostitians, she harbours feelings for House, as well as dating her collegue Chase. What a hussy.
It’s obvious what you all must do.
Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Captain Jean-Luc Picard
Captain Jean-Luc Picard

Alison Cameron – 0
You guys did me proud.
Spock (Leonard Nimoy)(Star Trek: TOS)
Science and first officer of the Enterprise under Captain Kirk’s command, Spock’s personal struggle between the Vulcan logical self and his human emotional self is the centerpiece of the character.
Vs.
John Dorian (Zach Braff)(Scrubs)
Better known as J.D, he is the doctor constantly vying for Perry Cox’s attention. He seems to learn all of his life lesson in half hour slots…
Some big hitters, could be interesting.
John Dorian – 3
Spock goes through on Tie-break.
Dana Scully (Gillian Anderson)(X-files)
Special Agent Dana Katherine Scully, M.D. is an FBI Special Agent, partnered on the X-Files with Special Agent Fox Mulder. They work out of a cramped basement office at FBI headquarters to investigate unsolved cases labeled "X-Files".
