Hmm, what category would 'Highlander' fit? Fantasy, b/c of the immortality angle? Adrian Paul is fairly entertaining... :) [Although "Tracker' is so incredibly stupid that I can't watch it. :P] Favorite characters: Jean-Luc Picard Fiben Bolger Gailet (I forget her last name) Kira Nerese Tom (not Bombadil, but Gillian's, of the Streaker) (most of the rest of my list is fantasy rather than SF) Non-sentients: Keplians Tribbles (oh, definitely! Just don't want to actually encounter a pile of them... :D ) The Holy Egg Evil Characters: Admiral Thrawn (from the Timothy Zahn Star Wars trilogy - which I enjoyed, although I agree that most of the SW 'novels' are a waste of good trees) Khan Noonian Singh (sp?) Gul Dukat The Borg Queen (from the movie 'First Contact,' IIRC) Debbi __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
