Hee, Hee; the first favorable thing that a bunch of people said about the next episode was to note that Jar Jar was on screen a lot less.

Oooops, sorry about that.

I thought the thread said "Greatest FRICTIONAL Character"

Since Shat draws the most discussion around here I thought the case was a lead pipe cinch.

If Shatner was fictional, he'd be the greatest.

The greatest fictional character of all time was ME. At least that's what the people who know me say. The second greatest was Little Hawk. Or is he third? At any rate, this Shatner creature is only a rumor, not a genuine character.

If you were to judge "the greatest" by Hollywood, I would say Robin Hood might fill the bill. There have been so many films about the merry men over the years I would have to go with Robin. Hell, they even changed him into Zorro when audiences got tired of Sherwood Forest and now Zorro is almost equally "great" as a character. I vote for Robin Hood.

Well, to answer it all seriously then, I would also go with Sherlock Holmes.

Robin Hood? Perhaps. But is he 100% fictional? Perhaps not.

Add Jean Valjean to the list, sil vous plait: love, hate, injustice, justice, revenge, forgiveness, schnook, redemption, hero, all in one character.

McMurphy from "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" leaves an indelible impression.

Sara Crewe, "The Little Princess," has a lot of depth for the heroine of a children's book. I adored her--still do.
