Re: TV Character Draft

omar is obv #1, he's the clear GOAT character in the history of TV. still had more depth + personality than most main characters, so i think it's silly to complain that his role was minor.

Re: TV Character Draft

Bobboisright. Walter White is a fine pick in the way Springsteen in the music draft at #1 overall was, if you admit it's a bit of a homer pick, but you are losing some value. Omar at 2 is a huge spew, he's such a good character because he's used infrequently to introduce chaos and unpredictability into the world. He would struggle with an expanded role.

lol at reducing omar to an agent of chaos and unpredictability. other than that he prob could thrive in an expanded role and even in his small role he made a huge impact on the show.

Re: TV Character Draft

His role in the fabric of the show was an agent of chaos and unpredictability, he is an incredibly engaging, charismatic character and has a really clever premise, but he works best as someone who bursts into other peoples lives than someone who the main narrative is constructed around.

that was how he was woven into the other story lines within the show, but his own thread was extremely captivating by itself

Re: TV Character Draft

Should be an interesting draft, really hard to have a consensus #1, let alone top 5. I'm sure recency bias will also be prevalent.

Re: TV Character Draft

Omar is obviously a great character, he just isn't the number 1 or 2 of all time, especially when so much of the best tv drama series have been intense character studies.

#3 has amazing value. Is 1 or 2 in 90% of these drafts. Well... if you get it right.

I smell an epipen argument coming up...

Must... resist... urge...

Sounds a lot like a Kevin McHale argument.

In any event, I don't want to take anything away from these 2 characters. They're terrific. I even "get" them, to a point. But this is #1 and #2 overall. You don't reach at this spot only because you "like" them so much.

Re: TV Character Draft

gonna be interesting to see when the first comedy characters get drafted, and how the slapfight about value of comedy vs drama plays out.
