TEN FAVORITE SCREEN CHARACTERS BLOG HOP

3/6/2015

FAVORITE SCREEN CHARACTERS BLOG HOP
Tim Hemlin invited me to participate in the Favorite Screen Characters blog hop. It’s a simple, fun hop. 
Name your ten favorite TV or Movie characters, then nominate friends to do the same!
These are my favorites. The ranks get more arbitrary as the numbers increase:

1. Spock, Star Trek
Spock's character is one of the most compelling and appealing; he's a deep thinker trying to straddle two worlds. Spock believes in the practicality of peace but can drop you with his martial arts or Vulcan nerve pinch in a heartbeat.
2. Frodo, Lord of the Rings
His is the most difficult, lonely, and thankless quest. The "May it be" song is perfect for this hero who does not happily retire to the Shire, but continues to suffer from all he's been through for others...more like most real soldiers. 
3. Gandalf, Lord of the Rings

Deep, magical, fighting the good fight.
4. Captain Jean-Luc Picard, Star Trek Next Generation  

He's a classic Captain. 
5. Captain Janeway, Star Trek Voyager (notice a trend?)
It was so refreshing to have a wonderfully competent female captain!
6. Larry, Numbers
He can imagine children as wormholes to the future and has the most fascinating philosophical/science discussions. 
7. Cat Woman, Cat Woman  
She's wonderfully independent and ambiguously good. 
8. Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes

He's more attached to others than he realizes, which makes this observant but unaware genius likable.
9. The Lady, Sherlock Holmes
She's totally self-assured, in it for herself but still fascinated by Sherlock.
10. Captain America, Captain America
What could be better than the elevator scene? "Before we begin, does anyone want to get off?"
He's not a knee-jerk hero, but instead thinks about cause, effect, hidden agendas...

These are my Ten Favorite Characters. I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it!

Here are the lucky friends I tag to continue with this fun hop; they have wonderful blogs.

I love that you chose Janeway. She was one of the best most unsung captains. I love Picard, but I've always had a soft spot for Janeway.

I can remember trying the Vulcan nerve pinch on kids at school, never mastered it though!
And I agree about Frodo - is there anything more poignant than his sad little face? Or more brave than his 'I will take it - only I don't know the way.'

Interesting list. I take it you are more a "Star Trek" fan than "Star Wars" ;) I think, from those above, I would have to go with Gandalf ('the grey' - not overly fond of 'the white').

Great character. I think my favourite scene was in Bilbo's house at the beginning of LOTR, when Gandalf momentarily lost his temper and you saw the true mage beneath the shabby appearance.

"Do not take me for some conjurer of cheap tricks..."

Great stuff.
