- Harvey Birdman - Reducto guessed by MC
- Heroes - Hiro (I know obvious! Who doesn’t love Hiro??) guessed by Dan

- X-Files - Mulder is an obvious one I know but what can I say? Guessed by Dan

****UPDATE****
The Simpsons character is obscure but I think I may have written about him in here sometime (oh I just gave away he’s a he!!)
****UPDATE 2****
I feel bad about how obscure the Simpsons character is so I will give another clue! He is in part two of who shot Mr Burns.
****UPDATE 3****
The Buffy character is a female and has appeared in the opening credits.

06/12/2007 at 9:44 am Permalink
Dan - you know I’d pick you as a Garibaldi fan, I don’t know why. He is my backup favourite especially in the early seasons, I like his relationship with Londo, it has an interesting texture to it and is an example of the complexity that is Babylon 5 writing.
06/12/2007 at 9:49 am Permalink
Arjan - can’t wait to read your list and have a crack at guessing your favs.
erm..Angel???? I think we need to get you some learnen and get you watching Angel and Firefly!!!!
06/12/2007 at 9:50 am Permalink
Oh yeah Dan I’m going to have to get some Birdman to you, I think you might like the humor!
06/12/2007 at 10:45 am Permalink
Cool I’m so glad you decided to do this one!
So let me take a stab at some guesses…
2. Chiana?
3. Phil Ken Sebben ?
8. Fred?
12. Hans Moleman?
14. Bill?
20. Sheridan?
Gosh I am so guessing on most of these I really have no idea which you love…except Hiro who rocks! Who doesn’t love Hiro!
06/12/2007 at 11:10 am Permalink
Birdman: Mentok the Mind Taker
The Simpsons: Comic Book Guy
King of the Hill: Dale Gribble
Twin Peaks: Agent Dale Cooper
Buffy: Willow
Angel: Doyle
06/12/2007 at 1:06 pm Permalink
For Angel, I’m going to guess Cordelia… I always liked the way her character developed from her Buffy persona, but in a believable and affecting way…
and for Farscape, I’m guessing you’d love to be Pilot, so you could drive the ultimate big truck (big LIVING truck, even - a truck you could bond with and make friends with)…
or would you maybe prefer to be Moya, so you could BE the big truck?? Hmmm…
06/12/2007 at 3:40 pm Permalink
I think we have the same taste but i would like to add prison break on the list and heroes my number 1.
06/12/2007 at 5:03 pm Permalink
Becca - OMG!!!! You are so close on them that it breaks my heart to say no to all! Who doesn’t love Hiro the most? My wife, she’s a Peter lady. LOL
Hiro screaming villain at ‘flying man’ makes my day.
06/12/2007 at 5:05 pm Permalink
MC - That’s two to you! As much as I love Mentok there is another that makes me roll in tearful laughter! Ironically the two you got are both Dales… that’s so weird.
06/12/2007 at 5:10 pm Permalink
John - no cigar for you but very good reasoning, I considered Pilot for a little while there, loving all the Farscape characters so much makes it hard - although I will admit I would not have thought of Moya.
Cordy will always be a favourite of mine for those exact reasons but she alas is not the Angel character of choice.
06/12/2007 at 5:38 pm Permalink
Reducto? Though given some of your other picks, it would make sense… you said Becca was close with Phil Ken Sebben (ha HA), who was played by Stephen Colbert as is Reducto, and mentioning Dale Gribble paranoia, it made me remember that yes, Reducto is indeed extremely paranoid.
06/12/2007 at 6:45 pm Permalink
I do know Angel, but the ‘erm’ was because Buffy the vampire slayer was just above it..and there I guessed Buffy…so Angel..well Angel
Although I could have guessed Spike of course
And yes..Firefly will have to be torrented, should have plenty of time because almost everything else is on hold in december..
06/12/2007 at 7:18 pm Permalink
Having another stab at the list:
Simpsons: tha hA-HA! kid.
*starts up wiki to find out the name..: Nelson Muntz
Angel: spike
Californication: Hank
Babylon 5: John Sheridan
06/12/2007 at 8:02 pm Permalink
My second shot:
Buffy - Anya
Angel - Wesley (that’s my favorite)
Simpsons - The guy who dances with his trousers round his pants.
Bab 5 - Marcus (the ranger guy - I really need to by the bab 5 boxed set, i only really watched series 3)
Battlestar (why isn’t battlestar in there) - Starbuck
06/12/2007 at 8:19 pm Permalink
MC - I’LL SHRINK YOU!!!!!! Yes you are very right Reducto is so damn funny in my opinion. I didn’t like him at first but his compulsive behaviour and obsession with making things tiny (except for booty) just crack me up.
And very good reasoning!!!
06/12/2007 at 8:28 pm Permalink
Arjan - let me know how you go with Firefly - it’s just brilliant - make sure you watch it in the correct order!
06/12/2007 at 8:29 pm Permalink
Arjan - i’ll reward you one gold star for Hank and Californication - ya just can’t go past him, he is the ultimate cool guy.
06/12/2007 at 8:43 pm Permalink
Dan - I’m almost wishing the man dancing with his trousers round his feet is my choice!!!
You get a bingo with Wesley.
Battlestar would have been 21 and you’re probably right!
07/12/2007 at 5:09 am Permalink
Simpsons - surely not Comic Book Store Guy…
as for Buffy, I figure you for a Giles fan (I heard Anthony Stewart Head interviewed suggesting he would be keen to do a Giles spin-off, but I guess it didn’t happen)
Babylon Five - this is probably way off base but I kinda figure you for a Vorlon (go on, admit it, given half a chance, would you not want to be a strange and mystical alien in an ultra-cool survival suit thingy?)
07/12/2007 at 5:09 am Permalink
Let’s just say some of the characters on my take on this meme are hard to choose as well.
07/12/2007 at 8:05 am Permalink
Vorlon múst be it. I couldn’t remember the name while guessing ..so I guessed another one
07/12/2007 at 8:47 am Permalink
John - Comic book guy is too mainstream LOL no the character is much more obscure I will release another giant clue within the post in a couple of minutes.
As for your Buffy guess no one will be able to guess my choice bahahaha
And no the Vorlon is cool but not my fav character.
07/12/2007 at 9:11 am Permalink
Sorry Arjan no Vorlon love for you either!
07/12/2007 at 9:12 am Permalink
MC - I think this is my favourite meme ever at this stage
07/12/2007 at 2:16 pm Permalink
OMG… can it be Dr. Colossus?
07/12/2007 at 2:57 pm Permalink
OK, here’s my only guess, as I could only think of one:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Andrew Wells (Tucker’s Brother). If it isn’t him, that’ll give me an excuse to delve into the episodes to have another go
07/12/2007 at 4:51 pm Permalink
MC - All his stuff is up on Death Mountain so I feel bad for him and yes he is my fav!
07/12/2007 at 4:52 pm Permalink
Ian - mmmmm I forgot about Andrew but no he isn’t the one. Off you go back to the episodes!
07/12/2007 at 5:50 pm Permalink
Buffy: Anya?
07/12/2007 at 10:19 pm Permalink
Buffy - Willow?
08/12/2007 at 11:10 pm Permalink
babylon 5: some random Shadow?
08/12/2007 at 11:39 pm Permalink
Hey Lee!
Farscape: Rygel by any chance? (since you’ve got the life-size doll (?) of him =P~ I gots to see that one day!)
Buffy: can I guess a few?
- Anya (vengeance demon)
- Tara (Willow’s g/f)
- Faith
- Dawn??? =P~
08/12/2007 at 11:56 pm Permalink
MC - I always felt that Anya was mistreated especially towards the end of the series, stupid Xander. But no it’s not Anya.
08/12/2007 at 11:59 pm Permalink
Heyah Veda! No it’s not Willow but you are really close!!!
09/12/2007 at 12:01 am Permalink
Arjan - I do really like the Shadows, I think they are probably amongst my favourite enemies but no they don’t make the list.
09/12/2007 at 12:10 am Permalink
Hey there Mal!!!
As much as I love Rygel he isn’t my favourite character in Farscape, it’s actually a much more obvious and boring choice.
Now as for the Buffy character you have gotten her - it’s actually Tara. The performance that she puts in is extraordinary especially when you know the actress is completely different to Tara. So she isn’t an obvious choice but I’ve always had a soft spot for her.
PS Did Scott tell you about our hole punch Shark?
09/12/2007 at 1:10 am Permalink
Farscape: Crichton?
Yes, I have seen the photos of the Shark. While Tony is away, OS will play
Hope to catch up with ya’ll Friday.
Actually came by site to see if you posted anything about the new Moonlight TV series. It’s about a vampire, private investigator - sound familiar?
09/12/2007 at 9:03 pm Permalink
Ahhhh Mal - Crichton it is!
I haven’t read anything about Moonlight but I see it will be showing on Aussie tv over the summer. It doesn’t sound very original LOL Forever Knight and Angel all rolled into one. Interesting that David Greenwalt co creator of Angel has been brought on board the show.
Ohhhhh you’re coming in Friday!!! Can’t keep away from Guitar Hero 3!!!
10/12/2007 at 7:45 pm Permalink
c’mon give up the babylon 5 and Entourage favorites!!
10/12/2007 at 10:46 pm Permalink
Arjan - I think this has gone on long enough now - Babylon 5 is G’Kar and Entourage is E!
Thank you all for playing!!
