Six favorites? Hmm..... This will be somewhat arbitrary, understand. I like lots. <img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br /><b>The Doctor, from "Doctor Who" (of course <img src="/images/icons/tongue.gif" /> )</b><br />He's a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey. Since the show is aimed at children, he's generally depicted as a protector. He'll make the monsters go away, or prove that they're not really scary after all. The actress Elizabeth Sladen described him as a "mad uncle", and that's very apt. He's like a very eccentric relative, who can make you laugh right after he baffles you. And then there's the TARDIS that he uses to travel. It can take you anywhere, anywhen, to see fantastic things and meet extraordinary people. He saves the universe regularily, he champions the weak, he thumbs his nose at the powerful, and he can get you home again in time for tea afterwards.<br /><br /><b>G'Kar, from "Babylon 5"</b><br />I actually like him better than the incredibly powerful Kosh or the wise and wonderful heroine Delenn. He has this tremendous character arc over the course of the series, going from a warrior who'd like nothing more than to spill Centauri blood to an unwilling religious icon trying to get everyone (including Centauri) to settle down and work with each other towards a better future. He also gets some of the best lines on the series, and actor Andreas Katsulas delivers them all superbly. And it's hard to explain this, but he actually manages to make this sort of reptilian/amphibian spotted alien creature *seductive*. (Amusingly, a consequence of Katsulas' portrayal was that he eventually was shown dressed only in a robe. This neccesitated a prosthetic to cover his very human chest. They said you could hear him scream down the block when it was removed afterwards.) Basically, he's not just your typical militant semi-savage alien (like the Klingons). He's very deep and complex, and also a very spiritual sort of person.
