Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
Will there be an award for most annoying poster?

If there is an award for most annoying poster will it involve chocolate?

Will we have a sliding scale of annoyance for quality of chocolate?

Can I add this as part of my entry?

Sci-Fi: Martin Silenus - Hyperion - Dan Simmons
Fantasy: Caine - Blade of Tyshalle - Matthew Stover.
Fantasy: Tyrion Lannister - George RR Martin
Star Wars: Darth Vader. Han man runs a close second though.

Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
I don't know if I could choose a best chracter, I have a few favourites but picking from my list of best books/series and the characters that really stand out to me:

Steepike (Gormenghast), so evil and manipulative but with real pathos too, I've always found him rather sexy.
Gollum (and Sméagol), pathos again and suffering and really tragic in the end.
Sam Vimes (Discworld), because I admire his attitude and the way he has developed over the series.

Of course my real favourites are my own characters but I don't think I should vote for them!

Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
There's rather a lot of fantasy characters in a best sci-fi character thread.

James T Kirk. No contest.
Londo Molari
Darth Maul. Great lightsaber. Works when broken in half.
Garek, DS9

Never heard of this author/character, but it sounds very interesting. How would you describe the writing style?

Gormenghast is very dark writing. A lot of people see Mieville as the successor to Mervyn Peake, if you've read any Mieville that might help understand
