I voted Jack.
ReplyDeletePersonally for me, the best character in TV history. :)
Come on, Mulder! XD
ReplyDeleteHands down - Fox Mulder. (and I'm a fan of both The X-Files and Lost....)
ReplyDeleteLove Mulder, but Jack is my favorite character.
ReplyDeleteI'm a bigger fan of Lost, so I'm going Jack; even though I think Mulder's going to win. Lol.
ReplyDeleteJust wait until this is posted on DarkUFO, we'll get a lot more votes. Currently Jack winning, 55%
ReplyDeleteFor me no contest Mulder all the way
ReplyDeleteNo contest for me it Mulder.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Jack... not my fav. lostie, but the big hero of the series :D besides, his performance in the series finale was just amazing especially the last minutes.
ReplyDeletePLEASE LOSTIES, KEEP VOTING FOR JACK :D
It's not competition here for me, Mulder
ReplyDeleteIt HAS to be Mulder for me. I wasn't a fan of Jack, and c'mon, Mulder is just - epically classic. You can't have any of this television without thinking of Mulder :D
ReplyDeletelol...i just broke the tie
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder (The X Files) 50.45% (56 votes)
Jack Shephard (LOST) 49.55% (55 votes)
Mulder. Even if Jack hadn't gone from my favorite character to one who seriously annoyed me in 2 years time, Mulder would still get my vote for being the only classic character left. The fact that he still has such a rabid fanbase a decade after leaving the show says volumes. Mulder epitomized the sexy, scifi geek and helped make it cool. Geek chic was created by Mulder.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Fox Mulder!
ReplyDeleteMulder. For one thing I absolutely loathed everything about Lost, but Mulder is an icon even after all this time
ReplyDeleteI voted for Mulder!
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder was one of the greatest characters no doubt. On the other hand, I couldn't stand Jack.
ReplyDeleteSo my choice is obvious. :)
Only Jack Shephard. He's a hero.
ReplyDeleteMulder. I still expect to see some weird case when I'm watching Californifcation.
ReplyDeleteIt's true!!!)
ReplyDeleteVoted for Jack, let's hope he will pull off an unlikely win!
ReplyDeleteIt's a tie :
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder (The X Files) 50% (540 votes)
Jack Shephard (LOST) 50% (540 votes)
Fox M or M Fox ... X Files or Lost... sorry, i'm afraid i can't choose this time.
ReplyDeleteNice catch!
ReplyDeleteScrivi il Tuo commento qui.JACK 4EVER!!
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder without a doubt!
ReplyDeleteNot sure it's unlikely. They're both quite popular and both shows have a rabid following.
ReplyDeleteI CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND! arrrrgh :)
ReplyDeleteWell it kinda is, considering that Fox has done better in the previous rounds, like 8.5K votes and all.
ReplyDeleteJack, easy choice. He's the only one left in the competition who I like, so if he gets out, I'm out...
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about this numbers and i've come to the conclusion that the numbers of votes are "relative" numbers.
ReplyDeleteIt means that you shouldn't say "Mulder had 8 500 votes in the previous round" but rather "Mulder had 8 500 votes against Ben Linus". Mulder will not get automatically the same numbers in the next round because HIS OPPONENT will change.
When pitted against a more popular opponent, Mulder votes will decline.
Just saying...
Yo Mulder, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Jack is the best character of all time! The best character of all time!!
ReplyDeleteDarkUFO Character Cup: Jack Wins!
ReplyDeleteJack 56.62% - Locke 43.38%
http://darkufo.blogspot.com/2010/10/darkufo-character-cup-jack-wins.html
Is it foreshadowing what will happen here? Who knows?
Does anybody else find it upsetting to think that neither one of these brilliant actors ever won an emmy? Not only that, but they only have 3 total nominations between them (for these 2 characters). Personally, I feel both these men deserve more for their work.
ReplyDeletelost over x-files, MULDER over JACK.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Jack too! I LOVE Him!
ReplyDeleteThat's right, but Mulder had 8500 votes against Dan Winchester, and their match still is the match with the highest number of votes, so I have all the reason to think of Mulder as the possible winner.
ReplyDeleteRight now i am totally voting for Clark Kent but i think that he needs to face the "lesser of 2 evils" which i believe to be the x-files guy. Lost i think was more of a hit so im going with fox just because i think he isnt as tough. I COULD B WRONG THO!
ReplyDeleteFOX MULDER -YES!!!!! For ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJack Shephard? Who is this???
Hi Justin,
ReplyDeleteAs said before you bring freshness and impulsiveness to this competition and i appreciate that.
I honestly have no idea which to vote for since I've never watched The X-Files and only a couple of episodes of LOST. I didn't really like LOST though, from the episodes I watched.
ReplyDeleteI am impressed that Mulder still has a lot of fans even after the show ended ages ago. Even enough to beat Dean, which I am still furious about :P
So, I voted Mulder :)
Mulder is the first television character who drew me into a tv show. Throw the mythology of the episode aside, Scully and Mulder made you watch the X-Files with their fantastic on screen chemistry and amazing characters.
ReplyDeletePlus it has an incredible.........
WHAT AM I SAYING ??????????????
I don't care who wins this semifinale. SEEE MY USERNAME!
River Tam will crush whatever character is pitted against her.Period.
Wow, this is a close one so far.
ReplyDeleteFox seems to be ever so slightly closing over the last 30 minutes or so.
Wow. Epic matchup. I love Fox, but I had to go with Jack. My favorite character ever.
ReplyDeleteMulder... Mulder... Mulder... again :)
ReplyDeleteLOST >> X-Files
ReplyDeleteJack >> Fox
Who are you?
ReplyDeleteIf Jack doesn't win this, i might just go punch a goat.
ReplyDeleteA VOTE FOR JACK IS A VOTE FOR BACKPACKS!!! Vote Jack if you own a backpack... Or any sort of storage facility that can be carried upon your person :|
Anyone got a bit of de ja vu?
There is only one Foxy...and that is Jack Shephard
ReplyDeleteJack :)
ReplyDeleteWow, this is turning out to be mega close 0:!
ReplyDeleteWinner of this poll is the winner of the 2010 Character Competition.
ReplyDeleteROTFLMAO!!!! You are SOOOO funny!
ReplyDeleteHope your right m8, I wouldn't mind either of these two winning.
ReplyDeleteuh thanks for the compliment glad to be here. How do u know my name?
ReplyDeleteEVERYONE WHO IS SMALLVILLE FANS I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY REMEMBER TO VOTE FOR CLARK KENT OF SMALLVILLE TOMORROW!!! LETS SUPPORT HIM AND MAKE HIM THE CHARACTER CHAMPION!
ReplyDeleteThat's a call for help!
ReplyDeleteI beg all the viewers who voted either for Fox or for Jack to vote in favor of Clark Kent tomorrow (even if you can't stand it).
If you don't make it for our young Justin, make it for yourself.
Helping Clark beat River is the only way for you to win the competition!
All those social network are the opposite of privacy, but don't worry :
ReplyDeleteYour secret is safe with me..., Justin-El

I liked lost, and I hated Jack more every season. Shouting, stubborn idiot, who failed at everything. So I voted for Mulder.
ReplyDeleteThis, for me, is the real final. My two favourite shows! :) I went with Fox Mulder, though, because even though I love Lost more, he is far more integral and representative of The X-Files. I feel that Lost is very much an ensemble piece.
ReplyDeleteMulder´s the one and only.:o)
ReplyDeleteWith all my love for Mulder... Come on, Jack!
ReplyDeleteAnd, dear Losties, if we can't vote together, Jack's gonna lose alone!
Fox Mulder (The X Files) 50.1% (4,346 votes)
ReplyDeleteJack Shephard (LOST) 49.9% (4,328 votes)
Fox Mulder has taken the lead!
Mulder- hands down! David Duchovny rocked - Mulder is one of the best all time sci-fi characters on TV
ReplyDeleteDavid did win a Golden Globe at least- he is the only actor to have won for both drama ( The X-Files) and comedy ( Californication). Is it a coincidence that on both shows he has bald guys who are very important to him? Think about it.....BTW Mitch P is back on Supernatural this week :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope you're right on this one, they're both really strong character, plus I can't really stand Summer Glau...
ReplyDeleteJAAAAAAAACK!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo way this sex maniac will win against the great Dr. Jack Shephard
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder 49.5 %
ReplyDeleteJack Shephard 50.5%
GO JACK!
LOL A+
ReplyDeleteARGH! X-Files was my first love, LOST my current one...
ReplyDeleteWhat should I voooote? :(
ok Jack :P
COME ON JACK!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, this round has been SO close both times I've checked! Thankfully, Jack is still in front... by a little...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I wanna make unpassionate love to him.
ReplyDeleteThis is close as fudge!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know you're comparing an actor to a character, right?
ReplyDeleteAnd that's a low blow anyway. How'd you feel if Desmond was in one of these and someone said something like that?
Mulder is awesome but come on. it's Jack Shephard!
ReplyDeleteJACK SHEPHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt was funny... but nothing is THAT funny :O
ReplyDeleteSummer Glau is the sexiest person alive. Michelangelo could not have carved such beauty and perfection out of solid marble. Although if he had ever laid eyes on Summer Glau, I am sure he would have tried.
ReplyDeleteI love Jack...but no one is better than Mulder
ReplyDeleteMy answer to Niko was ironic , of course.
ReplyDeleteSome used to say the same thing about the "LOST vs. Supernatural" semifinale of the Show Cup Tournament.
I can understand that you wish to have a character in finale but saying the semifinale should be the finale is arrogant, pretentious and disrespectful towards the characters of the second semifinale
When is repeat River Tam can't be beat, that is to make a joke and challenge the other fanbases, that is not ment to be arrogant, even if it sounds so.
Hey. what's wrong with being a sex maniac??
ReplyDeleteHow in the world is Jack the Whiny Baby Shephard winning?
ReplyDeleteThat's just... not true.
ReplyDeleteNever tellin'.
ReplyDelete;)
I might start watching The X-Files...
ReplyDeleteAh, I gotcha. That makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to all fanbases who got offended by someone's prediction to win... and that this predication came across as 'arrogant' or 'disrespectful'...
ReplyDeleteOh and your high horse?... you should get off that.
MULDER FOREVER!
ReplyDeleteTHE best character on TV
Pretty crazy lol
ReplyDeleteCompare it to how many dislikes it would get and they'd just be breaking even :P
So, who did you vote for? : )
ReplyDeletesorry, I'm not very good at verbalizing what's in my head. I kind of meant that most people just expect lost fans to ALWAYS vote lost, even though we don't. Its like 'oh there's a lost thing involved, well we know it will automatically get tons of votes because all the LOST fans will run to vote for it.
ReplyDeleteWow even this I sucked at verbalizing properly. I really should have paid more attention in english class in school.
Possible, but the actor himself has been in like "sex rehab" clinics. Even if he was talking about Californication, it's still senseless to be comparing Jack to him.
ReplyDeleteAt least they get a cult status...apparently people think that all SPN fans are just squeeing teenage fangirls...I'd rather be a mindless cult...
ReplyDeleteActually, Duchovney (spelling?) plays a sex-crazed guy in Californication now... maybe that's who he was alluding to.
ReplyDeleteHow could anyone think of Lost fans as being mindless? Lost fans are basically the definition of intelligent fans, what with all the fan debate (okay, debate over the triangle WAS mindless, but that's it), the ARGs, the best fan -pedia out there...
ReplyDeleteI would just like to point out how many people liked that comment.
ReplyDeleteIt just blows my mind a little.
How can you people say no contest?
ReplyDeleteThis is a really tough decision for me.
...Ok I voted...but I won't tell you who I voted for. ;)
Saw an episode of X-Files here and there years ago, didn't ever get into it. So, by default, go Jack! The-Former-New-Man-In-Charge!
ReplyDeletehe didn't fail at saving YOUR life! but it's cool i respect your opinion.
ReplyDeleteit's okay ;D
ReplyDeleteNothing's wrong with it : ) I was only being a wise ass : ) Forgive me?
ReplyDeleteI love both shows, what's wrong with that? ;)
ReplyDeleteBut really, before Jack, Mulder was my favorite TV character.
I think the results of the last 2 round for Fox Mulder proves that LOST fans aren't as mindless as the stereotype of them are. In the last round Mulder faced another LOST character and kicked his ass because LOST fans weren't just voting for whoever was from LOST. They saw the match-up and acknowledged that Mulder was a better character then Ben. This round they're thinking and choosing Jack (though I disagree and chose Mulder). I hope this will take LOST fans out of the 'mindless cult' status and into just 'cult' status. But then again this is just my humble opinion, disagree if you wish.
ReplyDeleteWell, Jack is winning by almost a thousand votes so like him or hate the man, you've got to give him at least some credit for having that many fans.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm not a fan of his but I've got to give some respect...
You've got X-Files as your default picture yet your voting for Jack? What's up with that, dude? ; )
ReplyDeleteGo Jack!
ReplyDeleteNot set in Stone. Tomorrow will make things a lot clearer me thinks!
ReplyDeleteGO JACK GO! Wave the banner of Lost up high!
ReplyDeleteDon't watch either series really, but the little I've seen of 'Lost' irritated me, so I'm going with Mulder.
ReplyDeleteFox Mulder 47.83 %
ReplyDeleteJack Shephard 52.17 %
Mulder took Sun and Ben down... Come on, Jack!
Spooky Mulder. A great, one-of-a-kind character.
ReplyDeleteCome on! two more hours, Jack's winning for like 800 votes
ReplyDeleteSo sad. So true. Even if the stats disprove it.
ReplyDeleteThanks lol
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Jack pulling away with this one. I love them both, but Jack all the way.
ReplyDeleteMulder killed Sun. We all know that Jack doesn't take well to that.
ReplyDeleteWould be just like his acting then. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat just means Dean had big support too.
ReplyDeleteStatistics go out the window when Mulder meets Jack and half of Mulder's previous supporters happen to be massive Jack fans, for instance.
YAY! JACK WON! He's on to dominate the finals.
ReplyDeleteYessssss!
ReplyDeleteShephard FTW.
Well done, Losties.
ReplyDeleteHuh? Not sure what are you talking about.
ReplyDeletenothing.... nothing...nothing will ever be like this show,... its crazy
ReplyDeleteI'm so stoked!!! That's awesome! I really wasn't to sure Jack would come out on top, but I'm very glad he did. So now if he doesn't win the finals, at least he'll be 2nd. I really think he is a very well developed character. I'm not going to lie...there were times were I wanted to reach into the TV and punch Jack in the face, but everyone makes mistake and is at some point irratating, otherwise the character wouldn't be believable. Let me rephrase that...When a character makes mistakes he/she seems like a more realistic character in my eyes. In the end Jack was my favorite and I have/will support him in any future challenge. Lol! Did that sound a bit too dedicated?!
ReplyDelete"You killed my family. And-I-don't-like-that-sort-of-thing."
ReplyDeleteThere will never be show like LOST, ever. So full of wonderful characters, suspense and great story. It's very sad.
ReplyDeleteJack wins ! Jack wins ! He did it !
ReplyDeleteThat's a true victory for all the losties.
Love both But Jack just edges it for me
ReplyDeleteMulder!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete
