TV Drama Draft- Judging can commence (1 Viewer)

John Maddens Lunchbox said:
15.05 - Hero - Simon Bellamy (portrayed by Iwan Rheon) - Misfits

Originally a shy and meek outcast who gained the power of invisibility after the Storm, he eventually developed into the masked hero known as 'Superhoodie' with Immunity, Time Travel and Foresight.

Simon whilst as Superhoodie has gained more confidence than the present timeline, and has a much more serious and mature personality. While he exhibits free-running skills that could be the result of training, the fact he threw a paper aeroplane into Kelly's eye from considerable distance away when outside suggests he has superhuman aim (Present Simon possibly exhibits superhuman aim when he throws a peanut into Vince's mouth from a highly improbable position). It is also revealed that he is immune to Alisha's power. When Alisha antagonises a local that leads to her falling down a flight of stairs only for future Simon to rescue her, he explains that he has returned to the past to make sure particular events happen at the right time (e.g. Misfits defeating Vince). How Superhoodie travelled through time and space is explained in the eigth episode of series 3: Seth gives Simon a one-way time travel power (as opposed to Curtis' original power of changing a past event, then returning to the altered present).

Simon - Superhoodie timeline

1 - Simon enter in the community service

2 - Simon met the Superhoodie(that is in a relationship with Alisha)

3 - Simon have a relationship with Alisha(Superhoodie dies)

4 - Simon knows that he'll become Superhoodie

5 - Alisha dies.

6 - Simon go back in time to save her ( in the points 1 )

7 - Simon turn into Superhoodie

8 - Superhoodie dies in the arms of Alisha( in the point 3)

The first of my two for the day:

23.15: Mariska Hargitay as Olivia Benson (L&O:SVU), Best Actress

If I'm counting right, she has the second-most all time Best Actress Emmy nominations (8) for the same character behind Angela Lansbury. She did break through in 2006 to win a statuette. One of the enduring faces of 21st-century television.

:thumbup: Back when I took Katey Sagal, Mariska was my other choice. Glad I took Olivia.

 
22.14 - Colonel Angus Rickman (played by Roger Daltrey) - Insane Person - Sliders

Angus Rickman (played by Roger Daltrey) is a marine colonel on an alternate Earth that was to be destroyed by a pulsar. The character was introduced in the episode "The Exodus". He had a fungus infection in his brain which required him to extract brain tissue from the brains of compatible "donors" and inject the tissue into his brain which causes him to temporarily morph into that person. Extracting brain tissue from these people caused them to go into a coma.

Three days before the pulsar was going to destroy his Earth, the sliders landed there, helped improve the sliding technology of local scientist Dr. Stephen Jensen, which allowed Rickman and 150 other people to slide to a safe alternate Earth before the pulsars hit. Rickman specifically had Wade Welles select 150 people that had brain tissue compatible with Rickman's to slide to the new world. Originally, the sliders were going to slide with Rickman and the 150 people, but Rickman ordered the slide early, and murdered Arturo when the sliders attempted to slide with him.

Rickman also murdered Dr. Stephen Jensen, the husband of Maggie Beckett, when Jensen learned that Rickman was responsible for the coma victims. Rickman lied to Maggie and said a mob had killed him.

Quinn, Wade, and Rembrandt slid to the Earth Rickman, Maggie, and the other 150 people slid (thanks to getting deep enough underground and the new ability to track wormholes given to them by Jensen), and informed Maggie there that Rickman murdered her husband. Initially, Quinn and Maggie wanted revenge on Rickman for murdering Professor Arturo and Dr. Jensen. However, Rickman still had the timer used to send him, Maggie, and the other people to this Earth. So Rickman used the timer to slide and escape from Quinn and Maggie. The timer Rickman was using also had the coordinates to Earth Prime, which gave Quinn, Wade, and Rembrandt greater incentive to catch Rickman. The sliders began chasing Rickman to parallel Earths so that Quinn, Rembrandt, and Wade can find their home coordinates, and so that Maggie could get revenge. Although initially both Quinn and Maggie wanted revenge, Quinn later decided against revenge and only wanted his home coordinates.

What a way to introduce your TV show.

23.05 - Best Action Scene - Lost - The first 7 minutes

On September 22, 2004, Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox) awakens in the jungle and notices a yellow Labrador retriever darting through the bamboo forest. He runs through the jungle to a beach, where he is confronted by the carnage of the airplane crash of Oceanic Flight 815. Jack, a surgeon, darts from one survivor to the next, administering medical aid. He assists the pregnant Claire Littleton (Emilie de Ravin), enlists Hurley (Jorge Garcia) to watch her, and administers CPR to Rose Henderson (L. Scott Caldwell), saving her life.

Entire 1st episode is linked below, but it's the first 7 minutes for Best Action Scene

Time for an indulgence pick

I can live with this show introducing way too many characters too quickly

I can take the writers going insane and changing entire storylines

I can take giving that idiot Matt Parkman prime billing

I can take Mohinder rambling for seemingly hours on introducing set ups

But I CANNOT take killing one of the loveliest and most endearing characters of all time in a contrived BS storyline that instantly made me quit this ####### show.

24.14 - Best Supporting Actress - Brea Grant as super speedy Daphne Millbrook - Heroes

 
25.02 Root (Amy Acker), Person of Interest (CBS, 2011-present), Insane Person

In the capable hands of Amy Acker, who's made a career out of acting like a charming, adorable, woman with more than a hint of vulnerability who is later transformed into or revealed to be something far more morally ambiguous, Root has been a very intriguing "arc" antagonist for this fantastically well-written series about government surveillance and the threat it poses to everyday concepts of privacy. In just over two seasons, Root has been supplied with a moving backstory, motivations that actually make some degree of sense, and a sense of unpredictability that make her a very entertaining piece of a much larger puzzle.

Thanks to AA for his meltdown, it's usually me :cool:

I have to agree with him on the point of 2 a days though, I'd rather let people catch up (Only Mister CIA?) and continue as normal.

I have no idea how the guys are managing the spreadsheet, but we needed some kind of representation of where we are in this thread as well.

I know my Doctor pick hasn't been updated and Doug Ross moved to Romantic, but it looks like a nightmare trying to keep on top of everything. Credit for the work you'se are doing. Seems difficult.

Is it too hard for someone to post in here, who owes what?

25.17 Ed Begley Jr., St. Elsewhere - Supporting Actor

Most consecutive Emmy noms ever for an actor with 6. His politics are sure to win over the majority of FFA judges.

26.02 Ben Cartwright, Bonanza - Best Parent

Lorne Greene played a single father with 3 sons from 3 different wives. Pretty unique for the time. From wikipedia:

Bonanza was considered an atypical western for its time, as the core of the storylines dealt less about the range but more with Ben and his three dissimilar sons, how they cared for one another, their neighbors, and just causes. "You always saw stories about family on comedies or on an anthology, but Bonanza was the first series that was week-to-week about a family and the troubles it went through. Bonanza was a period drama that attempted to confront contemporary social issues. That was very difficult to do on television. Most shows that tried to do it failed because the sponsors didn't like it, and the networks were nervous about getting letters", explains Stephen Battaglio, a senior editor for TV Guide magazine

25.5 Mark Greene, ER (Doctor)

Little surprised this choice was still out there. After all, he was the lead character for the first 8 seasons on the most famous medical drama show ever.

 
23.16 - Juliana Margulies, ER - Best Supporting Actress

24.03 - Congressman Nicholas Brody, Homeland - Politician

25.16 - Marshall J. Flinkman, Alias - Smartest

26.03 - Sarah Mackenize, JAG - Lawyer

26.17 Sam Beckett (Scott Bakula), Quantum Leap (NBC, 1989-1993), Hero

Sam was a temporal physicist who insisted on carrying on with his time travel project in the face of government threats to shut it down. Eventually, he found himself trapped in a different person's body each week, and detoured away from his objective of getting himself home to help complete strangers in serious trouble. Bakula's earnestness was perfect for the part and Sam was as altruistic and idealistic as they come, with no real antihero aspects to his personality - - something quite rare in today's TV, of course.

Im not sure he can be picked here. He was taken as Dr.

But double check

 
26.17 Frank Black (Lance Henriksen), Millennium (Fox, 1996-1999), Hero

In this X-Files quasi-spinoff, Black was a tortured semi-psychic with the ability to see what criminals see, balancing the demands of his gift and his intense desire to use it to help others against his background as a devoted father and husband. The series' three seasons became ever darker as the Millennium Group, an association of private law enforcement consultants with which Black had affiliated himself, became increasingly enigmatic, and Black's own sanity was destabilized by the events unfolding around him in the run-up to the feared apocalypse of the millennium. This was one of the most unappreciated dramas of the last 15-20 years IMO. Great stuff; genuinely moving and scary.

Sorry to Tish. Thanks.

 
25 - Glen A. Larson - Showrunner

Has a ton of well-known shows to his credit (Magnum PI, BJ and the Bear, Knight Rider, The Fall Guy, etc). But I'm picking him for the original Battlestar Galactica, which was a definite landmark in TV history (despite only having one season)

26 - Elisabeth Moss (Peggy Olson, Mad Men) - Best Supporting Actress

Figured she'd be taken by now, but a search says "no".

25.6 - Horace Rumpole - Best Lawyer

Played by Leo McKern in Rumpole of the Bailey, this is the lawyer I want. I like a little snark with my law.

26.13 - Marg Helgenberger - Best Supporting Actress

She played prostitute KC Koloski on China Beach and was nominated for three Emmys. She was fantastic.

 
24-Marlo Stansfield-Drug Dealer-The Wire

25-Chochise-Alien-Falling Skies

26-Robin Hood-Hero-Robin Hood

27-Terminator-Heroine-The Sarah Connor Chronicles

 
25.09 -- Final battle scene in the 'Revelation 6:8' episode from 'Highlander: The Series', Action Scene.

The whole episode is linked above but the battle scene is from 39:30. If you're interested in the back story of this episode, just watch the first 2 minutes of the clip.

Basic summary: our hero, Duncan McLeod, has another immortal friend by the name of Mythos (who happens to be the oldest living immortal). In the Bronze age, Mythos ran around with 3 other immortals & the 4 of them were known as the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse', murdering, raping, and pillaging across 2 continents -- they killed tens of thousands. Now, centuries later, the leader of the 4 horsemen (Kronos) wants to get the gang together again (not knowing that Mythos is now a good guy). At the 39:30 marks is when the final battle scene starts when Duncan surprises Kronos/Mythos without any of the characters knowing for sure what side Mythos will take.

26.10 -- 'Game of Thrones' the 'Baelor' episode, Shocking Scene

Lord Stark's death
.

The scene is linked here, but a good gauge of how truly shocking the scene was would be to look at the viewer reactions on youtube, exemplified here or here or here or here or here.

I, Claudius only had 12 episodes. I hardly think it qualifies as a series. It's more like a mini-series to me.

More than Sherlock :) And about the same as Firefly (FF might have been 13).

But I'm comfortable taking it to the house for a decision. I'll see where this is at tomorrow, and re-pick if there's a lot of agreement with your take.

i would put in the same category as Under the Dome and allow it.

 
I wasn't sure about I, Claudius either, but I looked it up. It was not a miniseries. It was a series.

The number of episodes is less relevant to me than as to how the series was presented. Roots, for instance, was never presented as a series- neither was War and Remembrance, etc. These are the sort of shows I was trying to exclude from this draft.

 
25 Brian Cooper(Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) - Child

26 Jamie Sommers(The Bionic Woman) - Heroine

27 Chris Keller(Oz) - Killer

28 Shawn Ryan(The Shield) - Showrunner
