    Can they really describe it as "extended," seeing how all the nudity has been cut out?

    @Cash907Censored: The nudity thematically reminded me of Stargate SG-1, which had nudity in its debut on Showtime but didn't show so much flesh again in the years that ensued.

    I think I'd go with Rusty and Donna, and add Yorrick, Rodney McKay and The Middleman. As far as computer games go, I'd like to tip my hat to Nathan Drake in Uncharted, he's a damn cool guy. The banter between the characters in Uncharted 2 had me in stitches so many times I had to do-over several levels.

    Surprised McKay isn't getting a lot of shouts here so far, btw.

    Or you could watch Bladerunner and the Godfather back-to-back while looking at old issues of Penthouse and old cigarette ads. Then go out and have a really intense discussion about religion. It amounts to the same thing.

    Baltar was great until he got drug into the cult plotline. But Benjamin Linus is by far the best. Don't be surprised if by the end of Season Six we think of him as a hero of the show.

    I gotta go with Rusty Venture off all the people on this list. Although if Y: the Last Man's Yorrick was on this list I might have a tough time choosing. Or anyone from Firefly. Or Dr. Horrible.

    You would have picked Yorick over 355? It's not sci-fi, but Charlie Crews on Life was a spectacular character. Similarly not sci-fi, but major points for being a spy: Michael Westen of Burn Notice. Fantasy, plus extra spy points: Cinderella in Fables. But if you put a gun to my head and I had to pick one character? Ben Linus, hands down. His development over the last two seasons has been truly spectacular. The way he's reacted as things start slipping through his fingers has been amazing.

    So with you on the Donna Noble but not so much with the Baltar love. And color me surprised that none of the Twilight kids made this list!

    Cosmo, from Guardians of the Galaxy.

    He's a telepathic, Soviet, space dog.
    That combination is right up there with chocolate and peanut butter.

    If I had to choose from this list, I would definitely go with "Rusty" Venture. Although, I am with the growing minority of Brock Samson supporters.

    And what about Mal??? Malcolm Reynolds. Captain of Serenity. Browncoat. Captain Tightpants!

    Loved Brother Justin from Carnivale, Mal Reynolds from Firefly. Oh, and Wall-e! And I know it's new, but I'm also digging Agent Chew from Chew. I'm sure I can think of more, but I'm dead, and the Giants are losing.

    I completely support the naming of Donna Noble. She, by far, is my favourite companion. Martha Jones' lost year would make a wonderful miniseries or novelized adventure (yes, i am pretending the current lost year audio performance story didnt happen). However, Donna, as you said was an equal of the Doctor which propelled everything else she brought her up.

    I hope she survives.
