  2. Sherlock forever! Both shows have extraordinary Sherlocks! They just out of the competition and yet in it :)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Richard Castle he knows a bit about everything and what he does not know he researches.

    ReplyDelete
  4. from the list: Olivia Dunham & Michael Scofield

    ReplyDelete
  5. From the list, I can't go past Greg House. Him and I are freakishly similar in the way we think.


    From the current pool of shows, Sherlock Holmes from Elementary wins out for me.

  6. I chose Dana, but I have to say that I really don't like overbrilliant characters like Mr Mentalist.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Sherlock! Also chose Walter Bishop and Michael Scofield!
    And I have to add that I somehow don't like Brennan from Bones. She's far too overbearing with her opinions and it really made me dislike her and I stopped watching the show! :-/

  8. Sherlock(Elementary)
    House
    Spencer(Criminal Minds)
    and, of course
    Mr. Finch(Person of Interest)

    No one beats Michael on Prison Break

    ReplyDelete
  10. Both Sherlock's, Ben Linus and Walter Bishop.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Michael Scofield, Benjamin Linus, and Walter Bishop for me.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I agree with your assessment of Brennan. I still watch the show because I like the other characters but she really rubs me the wrong way. Because of my strong disliking of her, I only DVR Bones if it doesn't conflict with other shows I watch. It's nice to know I"m not the only one who has a problem with her.

    Off this list: Harold Finch - Person of Interest, Ichabod Crane - Sleepy Hollow, Leonardo Da Vinci - Da Vinci's Demons, and Henry Morgan - Forever

    ReplyDelete
  14. I absolutely adore Spencer Reid.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Benjamin Linus, Walter Bishop and Sherlock.. Honourable mention to Gregory House.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Spencer Reid and Michael Scofield. I love brains, in a not zombie way.

    ReplyDelete

    Dana Scully and Gregory House

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ben linus from LOST......period!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not alone, I stopped watching several years ago, got tired of her being "brilliant" yet so clueless about every thing else. Cute the first few years then got old.

    ReplyDelete
  22. From the list, Michael & Ben, off list Harold Finch from POI.

    ReplyDelete
  23. How could they leave out Harold Finch! He's definitely one of my favorites, along with Brennan from Bones and Walter Bishop from Fringe!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ben from LOST off of this list, but.....
    I would also add Dr. Tony Hill from Wire in the Blood. Robson Green at his best!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Absolutely agree with you guys @rehabber and @Mel!
    It can only be a novelty for a while but even after 8 seasons, her attitude towards others who don't hold the same opinion as her ... almost dismissing them as they don't matter or are stupid ... it really got to me and I was only watching the show for David Boreanz and the criminal procedures in the first place!
    Glad to know I'm not alone! =P

    ReplyDelete
  26. Gregory House, first and for most, Temperance Brennan, Dana Scully, then Walter & Olivia From Fringe, I'd like to add this is a very good poll, I know my votes are up but Of course Reed from Criminal Minds!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  27. House, Reid, and Sherlock. Wonder why Gideon is there, heh.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Brennan is the reason I could not watch Bones. She has never been a sympathetic even likeable character for me. As an avid Angel fan, I wanted to support all things David Boreanaz but I just couldn't.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ben Linus, Walter Bishop and Sherlock (Jonny Lee).

    ReplyDelete
  30. List: Walter (Fringe) and House (House)


    Others: Finch, Root and Elias (POI), Sherlock (Sherlock BBC), Hannibal and Will (Hannibal), Sheldon (TBBT).

    ReplyDelete
  31. House / Scully / Olivia

    Plus: David Rossi (CM), Red Reddington (The Blacklist), Ryan Hardy (The Following), Jane & Lisbon (The Mentalist), Lisa Cuddy (House), Emily Thorne (Revenge), Reese & Finch (POI) ...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Gideon, IMO, had one of the best analytical minds on TV at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Gaius Baltar, Walter Bishop, Benjamin Linus, and Olivia Dunham

    ReplyDelete
  34. You're absolutely right but, for me anyway, he was too confident and not a real team-man . Since Emily and Rossi (except when he came back), they're all part of a "family" and a real team, with Gideon I hadn't that impression except his relation with Reid : )

    ReplyDelete
  35. 1) MacGyver - MacGyver (I can't believe no one had this one...........am I really that old?)
    2) Jordie LaForge - Star Trek:TNG (Jordie could do anything, especially when teamed up with his "BFF", Data. But he couldn't get the "girl" if he was put in............fill in the blank..............!)
    3) Dr. Lauren Lewis - Lost Girl (according to Bo she is the smartest person in the universe and she always saves the day!)
    4) Will Graham - Hannibal (Will has a extraordinary talent with a unfortunate down/dark side)
    5) Dr. Hannibal Lecter - Hannibal (Hi Q maniac and master manipulator)
    Nobody 4 NOW!!!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Was this regulated to just dramas? Where's Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory?

    ReplyDelete
  37. Sherlock and Walter Bishop for me, because they're both so smart that almost no one can understand them. I also love their sense of humor though Sherlock's is definitely more cutting than Walter's. And of course to top it off, they're both played by incredible actors (Cumberbatch and Noble).

    ReplyDelete
  38. Oh yes MacGyver !! Great !! (Remembering my childhood :-) )

    ReplyDelete
  39. You and me both :). Heck, I'd add Garcia and Emily in there, too-they may not have 187 IQs, but they're both pretty nerdy in their own right.
    I also agree with the mention of Ichabod Crane in the post above yours.

    ReplyDelete
  40. From the list: Sherlock (Elementary) and Walter and Olivia (Fringe).


    Other: Finch (Person of Interest), Henry (Forever), and Jane (The Mentalist).

    ReplyDelete
  41. I miss Charlie Eppes, I've been rewatching Numb3rs, it was quite good.

    ReplyDelete
  42. You're right, but some of his decisions were definitely not that bright.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sheldon of Course!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Sherlock (Sherlock) and Nolan (Revenge)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Not intentionally. I don't watch sitcoms so I have no idea if Sheldon is brilliant or not. That's what the Other option is for. Characters you believe are brilliant.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Gregory House, Walter Bishop, and Other - Harold Finch!

    ReplyDelete
  47. Walter O'Brien needed in list.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I love Olivia but she is not brilliant.


    Also, Nolan Ross should've been an option.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I would also be at fault if I didn't say Alex Blake (Criminal Minds), considering she's my favourite character.

    ReplyDelete
  50. OMG I forgot Emily Prentiss who was my favourite : (

    ReplyDelete
  51. Yeah, it became ridiculous, isn't it ?
    And the worst part is, when you watch the first seasons of the show, Brennan is way worse now than she was before. She was still, well Brennan (for a lack of a better word) but she wasn't all that clueless and she was capable of accepting her "faults". I can bearly bear the Brennan from the last seasons.
    The Brennan from before was more balanced. But the Brennan from now is just unbearable.

    ReplyDelete
  52. And Blake!!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ooh. Yes. Her, too. Absolutely :).
