Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Before I reveal the new standings, a question.

Under further reflection, I'm not sure that The Tudors should count as a correct answer. It's a historical drama that takes places before the modern concept of sexual orientation existed.

What say you?

Edit: I also can't find any gay main characters for this show.

Andrew was in the credits?

I'm inclined not to count Tara.

What say you all?

Willow and Tara were both main characters. I think Buffy should count.

I think Buffy should be correct.

Oops. I just checked, and it turns out Tom Lenk was not added to the credits for Season 7 as I thought he was.

Still, given the prominent role that Tara and Andrew played in the series, if you don't count them, I will be left with no option but to conclude that you hate gay people. It's the only logical conclusion.

I haven't seen it, but or what its worth (probably not much) Wikipedia lists Tara as a main character. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...yer_characters

Challenge: Willow was a Borg and thus is not a character.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Wikipedia lists Willow and Tara as main characters and Andrew (and Kennedy, for that matter) as recurring characters.

If you argue with wikipedia, you will incur the wrath of grundle!

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

I'll accept Buffy (assuming that bisexual characters count as "gay").

Damn you guys move fast. Does no one work on Sheep game answer day

I'm enjoying my stay in the top half while it lasts. I know I have some craptacular answers coming up. And did I see that right? For a role played by multiple characters, no one picked Dr. Who even though it was mentioned in question 1?

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Yeah, I'd think Buffy would have to count. Combined, I'd say Willow and Tara were as integral to Buffy as Omar and Rawls were to the Wire and that lauded as a great answer.

I forgot about that one scene with Rawls. I was thinking of Omar and Greggs.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

I don't actually have an opinion on Tudors (never seen it), but if that's being disqualified on the grounds that they characters aren't actually gay, then I think OZ should be wrong as well.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Final Verdict:

Buffy counts.
Tudors doesn't.

Re: Do Televisions Dream of Electric Sheep: Round 3!

Is The Wire correct? I know Omar, but who was being counted as the second?

Question 7 S: Name the broadcast series of the 2000s which, after a period of hype, had the biggest commercial and/or critical failure.
