Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
My choice would have to be either the kat or kryten from Red Dwarf.

I agree with LancerSr with the best fantasy charecter of all time, Raistlin you cant beat him!

Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
Science Fiction:

Lord Estraven from The Left Hand of Darkness.
Johor/George Sherban from Shikasta.

Fantasy:

Hazel-rah and Bigwig/Thlayli from Watership Down.
None above, none on the sides, and those who are below should watch out, 'cause these are Great!
There's of course a little room left for:
Dr. Alfred Prunesquallor from Gormenghast.
Tyrion Lannister from A Song of Ice and Fire.

Re: The Best Science Fiction Character of ALL TIME
Like both Gersen and Sam Vimes, but my all-time fave has GOT to be Ace Garp (Ace Trucking Co. 2000AD). Money-grabbing, cunning, gullible and funny all at once. As well as being totally incomprehensible.

Movie: Jack Sparrow

Book: The Fool, from Robin Hobb's books.

Dr. Who all the way! Although Captain Kirk comes in close second.

And as for real life goes, Nikola Tesla is my personal hero.








Go Cardinals.
