Name that sci-fi character!

[eliyes]

Seemingly equally beloved and despised by fans, this guy is a supergenius manchild with a real flair for applied experimental physics and engineering, and not a lot of luck with the female of the species.

... Although he did somehow manage to bag Keller who's way way way way way out of his league, so maybe "and not a lot of luck with the female of the species" isn't completely true. Manchild is 100% accurate though!

You'll have to pardon me, but I never thought Keller was much of a catch -- probably because early inconsistant writing of her character made me suspicious of her, and I sometimes find myself wistfully trying to imagine what it would have been like if she had been, oh, an agent of The Trust or something.

Meanwhile, Wesley had more luck with girls than Geordi did... But Geordi was still too mature to be a manchild, so he didn't make the list. ;3

I don't like Keller, but objectively speaking she is a catch. ... As long as you're into Mary-Sues.

Ick. Well, I know several guys in the cast and the crew said Jewel's "the hottest woman in sci-fi"... and if I'd been Rachel or Amanda, I think I would have kicked them.

Yes.

See, the poll is ticky boxes just for answers like this. ;3

This is a trick question--

McKay isn't despised, and Wesley isn't loved. X3

[eliyes]

Lies! XD

No, really, there are people who despise McKay on my f-list, and God knows I loved Wesley when the show first aired.
