No i think No.1 was a good choice. although he probably wouldn't have appreciated being seen as a sci-fi legend.

I, generally, agree with the list.


I would have adjusted a few placements, but that's all.

mulder may have been better placed in the top 5, i think.

'Star Trek Crews' is incredibly moot though. Pick one. Actor, I mean.

But what's Kirk without Spock?

Doc Who is much better than most of those guys.

I would of chose the martian from the looney toon films though.

Probably the same as Mulder without Scully.

I, personally, would have placed Doctor Who higher.

But the dynamic between them wasn't the key to Mulder's charm. He could hold an audience captive by himself.

Plus, if they listed Star Trek people individually then they would take up a good amount of the list, and they probably wanted to provide some variety.

'Danger! Danger, Will Robinson!'

After being introduced to Bill Mumy by Angela Cartwright's son, I can't watch this show the same way again.

I mostly agree with the list, even though the original 'Star Trek' crew was far better then the crew of the more recent show.

Not for a significant amount of time he couldn't. People would just get bored.

That’s true, and we all know Worf would have been top of the list.
