    It's a big shame Futurama debuted in 1999 - that show had just too many incredibly brilliant characters to count.

    So 24 is lying about not being a poltergeist right?

    Didn't he scratch of the brother's names off the list of people that killed him?

    Great episode. Lots of things I'd been waiting for.

    @tande04: I hope they leave it up in the air a bit as to whether 24 is really a ghost or 21 is just Tyler Durden-ing (and learning to listen to his inner-henchman).

    Either way, it's great to have 24 back. It's hard to say, but I think I've missed him even more than Brock.

    @bluehinter: Didn't 24 even say something to that effect?

    I'm saying real ghost. I'm going to go a step further and say maybe its not just 24 but some nefarious underworld creature taking 24's shape (or 24 himself is now some nefarious underworld creature).

    For a cartoon VB is pretty good with the plot line set up. We had the one episode where the skull moved on its own and crossed out the name on the list. Plus we had the whole dead/undead hell portal episode which I thought was just a throw away episode at the time but now I think it hints towards something greater.

    Heh, the hench-midgets got served in this episode. Can't wait to see the backstory behind that development.

    @schrodingers-katana: Mum served up a steaming-hot dish of STFU and it made me smile. Mr. Publick seems adept at keeping them alive while hiding the real goodies (H.e.L.P.E.R, brock, dean and hank, the doc, byron ect) are nowhere to be found. I'm glad that 24 stuck around though....even if he's just a figment of 21's overactive imagination.

    Oh-btw, badass 21 is pretty awesome. I love how he spouts nerd-stuff (firefly refrence anyone?) while beating up (attempting to at least) the biggest badass to ever exist.

    @Fortunateson1969: Yeah 21's progression this season has been just awesome. Loved the Firefly reference, and the bet was pretty awesome. I loved the fight too, and the team-up afterward made it even better.

    I, for one, will now switch my diet to fetuses and one year old infants! But then I am a lesbian and a feminist so I am pretty sure I am supposed to be eating those anyways.

    While it was a good episode and I liked the end, I didn't feel like much actually happened in the episode.

    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.

    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!
