  1. I voted Jack.

    Personally for me, the best character in TV history. :)

  2. Hands down - Fox Mulder. (and I'm a fan of both The X-Files and Lost....)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Love Mulder, but Jack is my favorite character.

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm a bigger fan of Lost, so I'm going Jack; even though I think Mulder's going to win. Lol.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Just wait until this is posted on DarkUFO, we'll get a lot more votes. Currently Jack winning, 55%

    ReplyDelete
  6. For me no contest Mulder all the way

    ReplyDelete
  7. I 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.
    PLEASE LOSTIES, KEEP VOTING FOR JACK :D

    ReplyDelete
  8. It's not competition here for me, Mulder

    ReplyDelete
  9. It 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

    ReplyDelete
  10. lol...i just broke the tie

    Fox Mulder (The X Files) 50.45% (56 votes)
    Jack Shephard (LOST) 49.55% (55 votes)

    ReplyDelete
  11. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Mulder. For one thing I absolutely loathed everything about Lost, but Mulder is an icon even after all this time

    ReplyDelete
  13. Fox Mulder was one of the greatest characters no doubt. On the other hand, I couldn't stand Jack.
    So my choice is obvious. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. Mulder. I still expect to see some weird case when I'm watching Californifcation.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Voted for Jack, let's hope he will pull off an unlikely win!

    ReplyDelete
  16. It's a tie :

    Fox Mulder (The X Files) 50% (540 votes)

    Jack Shephard (LOST) 50% (540 votes)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Fox M or M Fox ... X Files or Lost... sorry, i'm afraid i can't choose this time.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Nice catch!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Scrivi il Tuo commento qui.JACK 4EVER!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Fox Mulder without a doubt!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Not sure it's unlikely. They're both quite popular and both shows have a rabid following.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I CAN'T MAKE UP MY MIND! arrrrgh :)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Well it kinda is, considering that Fox has done better in the previous rounds, like 8.5K votes and all.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Jack, easy choice. He's the only one left in the competition who I like, so if he gets out, I'm out...

    ReplyDelete
  25. I've been thinking about this numbers and i've come to the conclusion that the numbers of votes are "relative" numbers.
    It 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...

    ReplyDelete
  26. 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!!

  27. DarkUFO Character Cup: Jack Wins!

    Jack 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?

    ReplyDelete
  28. willyoubemyconstant18 October 2010 at 20:27

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  29. lost over x-files, MULDER over JACK.

    ReplyDelete
  30. That'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.

    ReplyDelete
  31. SmallvilleSupernaturalCastle18 October 2010 at 20:27

    Right 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!

    ReplyDelete
  32. FOX MULDER -YES!!!!! For ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Jack Shephard? Who is this???

    ReplyDelete
  33. Hi Justin,
    As said before you bring freshness and impulsiveness to this competition and i appreciate that.

    ReplyDelete
  34. 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.

    I 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  35. 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.
    Plus 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.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow, this is a close one so far.

    Fox seems to be ever so slightly closing over the last 30 minutes or so.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Wow. Epic matchup. I love Fox, but I had to go with Jack. My favorite character ever.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Mulder... Mulder... Mulder... again :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. If Jack doesn't win this, i might just go punch a goat.

    A 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?

    ReplyDelete
  40. There is only one Foxy...and that is Jack Shephard

    ReplyDelete
  41. Wow, this is turning out to be mega close 0:!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Winner of this poll is the winner of the 2010 Character Competition.

    ReplyDelete
  43. ROTFLMAO!!!! You are SOOOO funny!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Hope your right m8, I wouldn't mind either of these two winning.

  46. SmallvilleSupernaturalCastle18 October 2010 at 20:28

    EVERYONE 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!

    ReplyDelete
  47. That's a call for help!
    I 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!

  48. All those social network are the opposite of privacy, but don't worry :

  49. I liked lost, and I hated Jack more every season. Shouting, stubborn idiot, who failed at everything. So I voted for Mulder.

    ReplyDelete
  50. This, 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.

    ReplyDelete
  51. With all my love for Mulder... Come on, Jack!

    And, dear Losties, if we can't vote together, Jack's gonna lose alone!

    ReplyDelete
  52. Fox Mulder (The X Files) 50.1% (4,346 votes)

    Jack Shephard (LOST) 49.9% (4,328 votes)

    Fox Mulder has taken the lead!

    ReplyDelete
  53. Mulder- hands down! David Duchovny rocked - Mulder is one of the best all time sci-fi characters on TV

    ReplyDelete
  54. David 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 :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. I really hope you're right on this one, they're both really strong character, plus I can't really stand Summer Glau...

    ReplyDelete
  56. JAAAAAAAACK!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  57. No way this sex maniac will win against the great Dr. Jack Shephard

    ReplyDelete
  58. Fox Mulder 49.5 %
    Jack Shephard 50.5%

    GO JACK!

    ReplyDelete
  59. ARGH! X-Files was my first love, LOST my current one...

    What should I voooote? :(

    ok Jack :P

    ReplyDelete
  60. COME ON JACK!!!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Wow, this round has been SO close both times I've checked! Thankfully, Jack is still in front... by a little...

    ReplyDelete
  62. Definitely! I wanna make unpassionate love to him.

    ReplyDelete
  63. This is close as fudge!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. You know you're comparing an actor to a character, right?

    And that's a low blow anyway. How'd you feel if Desmond was in one of these and someone said something like that?

    ReplyDelete
  65. Mulder is awesome but come on. it's Jack Shephard!

    ReplyDelete
  66. JACK SHEPHARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. It was funny... but nothing is THAT funny :O

    ReplyDelete
  68. Summer 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.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I love Jack...but no one is better than Mulder

    ReplyDelete
  70. My answer to Niko was ironic , of course.

    Some 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.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Hey. what's wrong with being a sex maniac??

    ReplyDelete
  72. How in the world is Jack the Whiny Baby Shephard winning?

    ReplyDelete
  73. I might start watching The X-Files...

    ReplyDelete
  74. Ah, I gotcha. That makes sense.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I'm sorry to all fanbases who got offended by someone's prediction to win... and that this predication came across as 'arrogant' or 'disrespectful'...

    Oh and your high horse?... you should get off that.

    ReplyDelete
  76. MULDER FOREVER!
    THE best character on TV

    ReplyDelete
  77. Pretty crazy lol

    Compare it to how many dislikes it would get and they'd just be breaking even :P

    ReplyDelete
  78. willyoubemyconstant19 October 2010 at 01:47

    sorry, 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.

    Wow even this I sucked at verbalizing properly. I really should have paid more attention in english class in school.

    ReplyDelete
  79. 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.

    ReplyDelete
  80. At 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...

    ReplyDelete
  81. Actually, Duchovney (spelling?) plays a sex-crazed guy in Californication now... maybe that's who he was alluding to.

    ReplyDelete
  82. How 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...

    ReplyDelete
  83. I would just like to point out how many people liked that comment.
    It just blows my mind a little.

    ReplyDelete
  84. How can you people say no contest?
    This is a really tough decision for me.



    ...Ok I voted...but I won't tell you who I voted for. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  85. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  86. he didn't fail at saving YOUR life! but it's cool i respect your opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Nothing's wrong with it : ) I was only being a wise ass : ) Forgive me?

    ReplyDelete
  88. I love both shows, what's wrong with that? ;)
    But really, before Jack, Mulder was my favorite TV character.

    ReplyDelete
  89. willyoubemyconstant19 October 2010 at 01:47

    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.

    ReplyDelete
  90. Well, 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.
    Oh, and I'm not a fan of his but I've got to give some respect...

    ReplyDelete
  91. You've got X-Files as your default picture yet your voting for Jack? What's up with that, dude? ; )

    ReplyDelete
  92. Not set in Stone. Tomorrow will make things a lot clearer me thinks!

    ReplyDelete
  93. GO JACK GO! Wave the banner of Lost up high!

    ReplyDelete
  94. Don't watch either series really, but the little I've seen of 'Lost' irritated me, so I'm going with Mulder.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Fox Mulder 47.83 %
    Jack Shephard 52.17 %

    Mulder took Sun and Ben down... Come on, Jack!

    ReplyDelete
  96. Spooky Mulder. A great, one-of-a-kind character.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Come on! two more hours, Jack's winning for like 800 votes

    ReplyDelete
  98. So sad. So true. Even if the stats disprove it.

    ReplyDelete
  99. SmallvilleSupernaturalCastle19 October 2010 at 02:32

    Thanks lol

    ReplyDelete
  100. Glad to see Jack pulling away with this one. I love them both, but Jack all the way.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Mulder killed Sun. We all know that Jack doesn't take well to that.

    ReplyDelete
  102. Would be just like his acting then. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  103. That just means Dean had big support too.

    Statistics go out the window when Mulder meets Jack and half of Mulder's previous supporters happen to be massive Jack fans, for instance.

    ReplyDelete
  104. YAY! JACK WON! He's on to dominate the finals.

    ReplyDelete
  105. FlashForwardFlashback19 October 2010 at 22:53

    Yessssss!
    Shephard FTW.

    ReplyDelete
  106. Well done, Losties.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Huh? Not sure what are you talking about.

    ReplyDelete
  108. nothing.... nothing...nothing will ever be like this show,... its crazy

    ReplyDelete
  109. I'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
  110. "You killed my family. And-I-don't-like-that-sort-of-thing."

    ReplyDelete
  111. There will never be show like LOST, ever. So full of wonderful characters, suspense and great story. It's very sad.

    ReplyDelete
  112. Jack wins ! Jack wins ! He did it !
    That's a true victory for all the losties.

    ReplyDelete
  113. Love both But Jack just edges it for me
