Best Science Fiction Screen Character Of All Time?

[Margaret Note Spelling]

That's actually interesting, because the though has often struck me about the similarities between the X-Files and the 1960s comedy show Get Smart. You've got the two agent partners, male and female, getting in and out of dangerous situations with the villains every week (occasionally joined in the effort by their much-less-amused superior) with scifi elements attached. Even down to the two agents ultimately getting together in a later season. Obviously the genre is very different--but the weekly format itself is basically the same. And yes, the characters are pretty different, too. I've heard the actor for the female agent discussing her character in a later interview--the sum total of Agent 99's personality at the time, she said, was basically built around adoring the goofball main character Agent 86. But at the same time, the show did obviously make her out to be the better agent of the two--not least because she actually tended to pay attention to what was going on around her when 86 did not.

So, in a loose sense, we did get to see what X-Files might have been like in the 60s--although any comparison between characters is going to be pretty difficult, since it was all based around what made for the best comedy. A female partner who happened to be the better agent, but didn't actually appear to be aware of it, was a deliberate part of the humor of the show.

X-Files simply wasn't playing their main characters' relationship for laughs.

(I haven't watched the reboot either. I haven't even finished all the original seasons. Not worried about spoilers, though. I know several already.)

On the same note, I've always considered the original incarnation of Scully to be the companion Liz Shaw, from the Jon Pertwee era of Doctor Who. Skeptical, scientific, not easily impressed. And don't complain that she was always less important to the plot than the Doctor, because everyone was less important to the plot than the Doctor in that show!

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

About Scully herself, I was never totally impressed by her. To me there was always something a little bit off, although I'm not exactly sure what. I was never really able to connect with her emotion or her attitudes all the way. I think there was an overall lack of playfulness to her--not just none, but actually a negative balance of it--that, while equipping her nicely to deal with Mulder's snarkiness on the job, just didn't sit right with me. Most people have some flippancy on a social, day to day basis, depending on how relaxed they are. Scully just smiled and batted back Mulder's quips while remaining more or less impassive and dignified about everything. It made for a nice balance between them, but the level of it made her feel odd and stiff in a way that, to me, people usually just aren't. And it was never truly acknowledged.

Actually, as I was watching the first episode I remember commenting that the Mulder/Scully dynamic felt a bit like the (Doctor Who again, sorry) Doctor/Romana interactions from the Tom Baker era. The flippant, eccentric guy and the disapproving skeptical lady. Romana was the first real companion of the same species as the Doctor, with a similar upbringing--and a distinctly dignified attitude to her. At the same time she was actually doing her best to work with the Doctor on their assigned quest, and they learned to work together well, but she never laughed out loud or indulged in something purely for the fun of it. It was a similar flippancy/foil relationship that Mulder and Scully struck up from the first episode.

And then Romana, as Time Lords do, regenerated into another version of herself who was vastly more to my liking, and as far as I'm concerned the best Doctor Who companion of all time. She now had that playfulness and ability to confidently relax around people--a whimsicality that, while still providing a foil and counterweight to the Doctor's, actually rounded her out as more than simply a good counterweight, but a source of that humor in her own right.

So while Scully may be lauded one of the first independent female leads on a show, I still wonder. As a character she feels a bit stilted and lacking to me, in a way that even Romana doesn't, fifteen years earlier.

 

[Trollheart]

Take your points about Scully's lack of emotion (and I ain't giving them back; come try and take them if you can!) and I would agree. To some extent, Scully played like a robot, which I suppose fit in well with her being the cold, clinical, analytical scientist (no Doc Brown, she!) but I can't comment on your Dr Who analysis as I was very young when original Who was on, and I really only cared about monsters, space ships and, as I grew a little older, how short the Companion's skirt was! But I would present another somewhat stiff (ooer!) character for your examination, and wonder what you think in terms of Lt Susan Ivanova from Babylon 5? Being a Russian, she was supposed to be cold, stern and very fatalistic, which she was, though she could have her moments. Overall though she had about as much emotion (or showed it anyway) as Data or Spock. In terms of Romana, I think classic Who (what I said above notwithstanding) seldom if ever focussed much on the companion and was almost always about the Doctor. In the reboot they turned that around, to the point where at times it could almost be called The Companion and the Doctor...

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

Yeah, I think "the Romanas" was the point where the show consciously started trying to do more with the companions than they previously had. Obviously it was still the Doctor's show, but at least in Romana they had a companion who disgreed about that, right from the beginning of her appearance. If I'm right, that was the understanding that the actor for Romana had when she signed on for that one season--she believed she was going to get a character who could rival the Doctor in the plot. The fact that she didn't was apparently why she left after only one season. But right in the next incarnation, they changed up the character a bit so that she really was more like a female version of the Doctor. (She even made her own sonic screwdriver! )

Regarding Lt. Susan, I actually have to say I haven't seen Babylon 5! So sorry--maybe somebody else could weigh in on that? I'll probably look into the show one of these days. But for now I'll take your word for what she was like. Do you think it was intentional on the writers' part that Lt. Susan was that way? I guess she wasn't one of the major major characters, but did she get any sort of development?

About Scully, whoops, I wasn't actually trying to say she acted emotionless! It was just that when she never seems to let herself truly relax and just have fun under normal circumstances, for me it colored everything else to the point where it felt odd and a little unreal to see the more vulnerable emotions in her when they come. I've heard Chris Carter talking about the particular intensity they noticed and liked about Gillian Anderson's performance of Scully--and I think I can see that. And yet for the character, somehow the intensity seemed to negatively affect a lot of other things in her. Which would have been interesting if they actually went that way with the character...but I don't think it was intentional.

Either way, it's not a huge thing, and probably nobody but me cares! It just makes her feel less real of a character in my mind, to have her act and react that way. It's not the same as someone like Spock and Data, to whom being emotionless is either a stated goal (and often missed) or a natural, acknowledged state. Scully was unabashedly intense. And yet it was never reliably balanced by any real kind of release outlet, at least on screen. She was almost the other way around from Spock and Data--she actually tried to have emotions like everyone else, to be vulnerable, but somehow she couldn't quite let herself get all the way there. (Which sounds like a small mental issue to be honest....)

However, if you don't see any problem there, great! I'm sure it's just me. It's really not a huge thing, just a little undefined something that niggled at me every time I would see her character. I didn't even get around to trying to figure out exactly what it was about her that bothered me until today. The only thing I usually thought, frankly, was that she acted a lot more adult than other similar characters--only, somehow, not in the best way. Like how as a child you might feel sad about an older sister now being too adult to want to goof around with you outside.

She's still an undeniably interesting character. There are some really excellent and fascinating facets to her. But, like Mulder, she's probably not going to get my vote for the BSFSCoAT.

Hey, this is fun! Anybody else want to join?

 

[Elckerlyc]

I followed X-files only halfheartedly. All in all I think I have perhaps seen half of all the episodes, mostly from the earlier seasons. It never gripped me, too vague and somewhat sinister too my liking, without ever going anywhere. Lost and X-Files are siblings.
Next to that; I never liked Scully (to the point that I can't really discern whether it is the character or the actress I dislike). I found neither of the two lead-actors very convincing, but Scully was perhaps an unintended alien in disguise.

I don't recall any companions from the Tom Baker period, except for Sarah Jane Smith ( ), but that may stem from her also being the longest 'serving' companion. So I can't comment on the Romana issue. (I'll see if YouTube can enlighten me.)

 

[Trollheart]

@ Margaret: Oh dear! You haven't seen Babylon 5? I'm afraid it's the naughty corner for you!
I must therefore make it my mission to convince you. I will preface this by pointing out that B5 is not a show you can really dip in and out of; you need to commit to it as the plot unfolds in surprising ways and little hints are drip-fed to you, small revelations become larger ones and even those become galaxy-shaking ones.

So: if you enjoy well-written, intricate and conflicted characters, shades of light and dark, the little guy standing up to oppressive authority, an incredibly well thought out arc that spans five seasons and just smacks you upside the head and a series that managed, against the odds, to end satisfactorily and as it was supposed to, Babylon 5 is for you. There are space battles, human conflict, alien species which have really been well worked out, with their own belief systems, culture and outlook on life (hey, there are even carrion eaters!) and people who more often than not get it wrong with disastrous consequences. There's substance abuse, lesbianism, interspecies romance, humour, the horrors of war, religion, politics - hell, what isn't there? There are bad guys who change over time to good and vice versa and others who remain forever in the middle. There's betrayal, redemption and a return from the dead, there's a New World Order, systematic torture, strange new worlds and strange old ones, and though it may take a little while to get going it's almost never slow and always rewarding.

The lead character (the original one) begins struggling trying to remember something which seems vitally important to him, and ends up being even more so to the plot of the story, and to the galaxy. Secrets are revealed, twists thrown at you, shocks and thrills and terrors and cold realities. If any show comes close at all in terms of realism and darkness, it's probably Star Trek DS9, but essentially that copied Babylon 5, so maybe Battlestar Galactica, though I have not seen that. It's definitely worth investing your time in. Look, someone even dies for love and it is heart-rendingly touching and also so dramatic and tragic.

You owe it to yourself to check it out. Really.

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

I just started reading the Wikipedia page for the show. You have GOT to be kidding me! Shadow war? Is that what they call it in-series?

My literal entire novel series I'm working on is currently titled War Shadow. I mean, come on! With the premise of exploring the intricacies of an entire war from shadowy start to devastating finish....

I hate, hate, hate it when this sort of thing happens.

The show sounds great, but I'm actually worried about seeing it now and having it interfere with what I'm doing. Even though I doubt it's really that close...except I do note that one premise for the show was to do essentially a novel in TV format. Well, one of my premises was to follow an arc-focused episodic format for my series--I've even got the books divided into three or four different seasons. Season One is almost fully plotted and I've got solid ideas for how the rest are going to go, all the way to the epic third.

If I read or see something too close to my ideas, and it was done well, I start to question why I'm even working on it, or get self-conscious about other plot details that are far too close. So...thanks, and that was a really eloquent recommendation (can I get you to write an honest review for my first book when it comes out? ) but I think I should really finish working out my own series arcs before getting Babylon 5's ideas about shadow wars in my head!

(Well, that discovery is going to follow me around for the rest of the day today....)

 

[Trollheart]

Okay, well it happens. It's called the Shadow War because the bad guys are literally called The Shadows. It's not a covert thing, although there is some cover-up conspiracy stuff going on. I would have recommended against reading about it before watching it (I should have done) as I hope you managed to avoid the BIG spoilers: they literally spoil the "oh sh*t!" reaction when you learn what they are.

I'd be more than happy to review your novel, but you'll have to return the favour (it's an empty threat: I'll probably never get to finish mine, though I do have short(ish) stories you can look at if you're of a mind to). I wouldn't worry about someone coming up with your ideas. Like I say, it happens and as long as you can either get there first or prove you could not have read/seen/heard about the idea beforehand, well, everything is recycled in one way or another isn't it? Hell, I'm writing a short(ish) story called Shadow Play and it's actually very close to the Star Trek Voyager episode of the same title, but that doesn't bother me. I didn't rob the idea. It may have been kicking its heels in the back of my mind somewhere, sitting on the toilet or watching TV, but it wasn't jumping up and down naked and painted blue, saying ME! ME! ME!

So it's still my idea. Who was it said there are no new original ideas left? Oh yeah. It was me. Well, I always listen to me. Probably what gets me into trouble in the first place, but I just can't say no to me. Call it a weakness.

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

Yeah, I know. Thanks. It's just...that's about the fourth or so time that sort of thing has happened so far this year. I'm starting to wonder a little. But yes, the best fiction is the kind that's, at its core, about the truest things in the world--meaning, people and the way they react--and you can't ever get more unoriginal than that. Ideas come from life, and from other ideas. I don't even mind the concept of fanfiction--and I do believe what we create is ultimately all just a different combination of the things we've received over our lives--but still, it's unsettling when it happens.

Anyway--yeah, I can look at your short(ish) stories, if you're looking for critique! Don't worry, it'll be a little while before I can finish my book, too ; right now I'm working on a short(ish) story for the Chrons Distaff fantasy anthology, and that's taking up all my writing time right now. (Well, that and Chrons. I may have to start taking longer absences from here, the closer I get to the deadline.) Now, I'm sure all the involved people would be happy if you were to read and write a review for that...but I think you'd have to buy the book to do that, and I'm not even going to suggest you do that unless you're actually interested in it anyway. I'm not plugging anything, I promise!

You know, now that I think about it, I think needed a break from my own series anyway.

(About spoilers--don't worry too much; I didn't really look at the plot, only the overall themes, production, and premise. And it's all a little confusing out of context anyway. Funnily enough, I think I actually saw the Wikipedia page for M. Night Shyamalan's The Village about a year before watching it, but I didn't actually realize or remember that I had until a month after I actually did watch it.)

 

[Trollheart]

I could be persuaded. I used to read MZB and Tanith Lee and Nancy Springer among others. Now these days I have to read for Karen, who likes Stephen King, so we're on "Christine" at the moment, plus I'm trying to read a book about crows (crows feature a lot in my WIP novel, and I want to get it right) but some fantasy would go down nicely, especially if it's an anthology, which would mean I could read one story, put it aside, read another another day and so on. I have a little cash: how much are we talking? I'd want an e-book version, preferably MOBI, EPub or PDF if that were possible.

I don't know what to send you first. I guess Behind the Mask is only 4000 words, so maybe that one. Mind you, The Yellow Windows of the Evening Train is about the same. I'll let you choose, and in that case have you access to Dropbox or Google Drive, or would you prefer me to email or send them some other way?

I tried to Friend you, but it seems you can't do that here, so I'm Following you instead. Don't look behind you!

 

[Margaret Note Spelling]

I always look behind me.

Yeah, I think email would probably work best. I'll start up a private conversation with you--it should show up in your notifications. I've never used either Google Drive or Dropbox, although I may need to look into Google Drive at some point. Both book titles sound intriguing, so let's just go with Behind the Mask first. I'm curious about the crow book that you're reading, though. Is it called Mind of the Raven? Because we have that book, and I started to read it a while back, although I never finished.

About the anthology--I'm afraid it's nowhere near done yet, and I think it'll probably be closer to the end of the year before it's entirely edited and published! You'll probably hear a lot more about it as the publishing date draws near. I'd be happy to let you see my contribution beforehand in exchange for some juicy feedback, though!

Anyway, I'll start a Conversation with you, and we can transfer this discussion to over there. We've started moving a bit off-topic for this thread, I think.

 

[Astro Pen]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned David Vincent in 'The Invaders' Or maybe I'm really showing my age here
Classic 1960's titles

 

[Trollheart]

@ Margaret: No, the book is called Crows: Encounters with the Wiseguys of the Avian World by Candace Savage. I'll get BTM over to you tomorrow. Can you advise me your email address?

@Astro Pen: Yes, Vincent is in the list, I think you'll find, though personally although I know of the show I'm not at all familiar with it. Was he a kind of cross between Fox Mulder and Cade Foster (of First Wave)?

Did a 'find' on both 'Invaders' and 'Vincent'. Not being picky , have you got the post number?
It was kind of Fox Mulder Meets The Fugitive (If you remember that one
One hour Pilot Episode:

Yeah it's right there at the end. The list is alphabetical so it's under Vincent, David (The Invaders). What might be throwing your search could be that it's in a spoiler tag? Page 2, sorry I forget the post number and I'd go back and check except for one thing: I don't wanna.

 

[Trollheart]

Okay, here's what I have so far for movies. This covers from the 1950s up to the end of 1999 (I didn't want to go further back than the fifties, as this is the decade when proper sf really began to take off). I'm posting this now, and you can let me know if I've left out any important characters or films from these decades only as I have yet to do the whole of the 21st century.

I'm taking a bit of a break from this now, as it's exhausting, demanding work (anyone playing the world's smallest violin, yes I know: nobody forced me to do this, but that doesn't make it any easier) so it'll probably be another few weeks before I have 2000-2020 done. When I have that posted I'll link up all three lists to come up with a masterlist, to which any additions can be suggested. I will continue with the spin-off threads, another one of which is due soon, and you can of course continue to post and comment and suggest here, but don't expect another list from me kind of this month really. I am worn out, or in the words of the title of Star Trek XII: So Very Tired...

The final list now contains every major character (and some minor ones; we'll come back to that shortly) that I could find either in science fiction series or movies. Inevitably, there will be movies, perhaps even series that I've overlooked. When you're trawling through what amounts to nearly seventy years of recorded programmes, it's hard not to skip ones that may not look that important. So, if I've missed anything out, let me know. Similarly, if I've missed any important characters, be they from film or series, enlighten me. Some of the series here I'm not familiar with, and went with best guess for the important figures, but I may have got that wrong easily. Same with movies: to some extent, I read a few plots to get a feel for who was important in a movie I hadn't seen, but as a) this is time consuming and can be boring and b) at some point I may watch some of these movies and didn't want to ruin them for myself, this didn't happen all that often, with the result that my guesses may be wrong.

If everyone is happy I've included everyone who needs to be included, then the pruning work begins. I'm aware I've put characters on the list who are, shall we say, less vital, so I'd like some help to get rid of the ones that don't matter. Why did I include them in the first place? Well, just because someone LOOKS inconsequential doesn't mean they necessarily are. A lowly tea lady or post office worker or someone's girlfriend might prove to be very vital to some movie, so for the sake of erring on the side of caution, I chose just about anyone I could who looked like they might have contributed. Without question, many of them did not, and so if, over the course of the next whenever, you guys can look at the list and go "Pff! That person shouldn't be in the list!" and let me know, I can remove them, so that we can then be left with a list of the more important characters, and then, as Q would say, and has said, let the games begin!

Thanks for your help and looking forward to your input, assuming this didn't take too long and is now going to die an ignominious death.
