  1. Trini, Herman, Virna.

    And that's all I have to say about that.

  2. Angela, her dad and Rachel.

    Not a big fan of Rachel but Herman wasn't any real competition. Frankie would have beat her though. Angela seems to be an obvious choice and the Sgt. Moore/Virna matchup is pretty much a tossup for me, but Angela's dad wins on the "he cares for his family more" vibe.

  3. Angela, Rachel, Virna.

    Can't really explain them, but that's how I voted.

  4. Just so you know, Trini's first episode was My Best Friend's Girl and her second was The Last Temptation of Cory. She was never in Boy Meets the Real World.

    1. Yeah, a mistake, I just copied over Angela's, and I guess screwed up updating it. I'll fix that.

  5. For those who are interested, it was announced today that Rowan Blanchard's DCOM will premiere on Friday, October 9. It will obviously be up to Sean and Christian if they want to review it.

    1. Saw the promo. Not overly excited, but the bar for children-friendly Halloween movies made for television isn't exactly high. Key words, made for television.

    2. Not to go too far down the rabbit hole, but I am excited for this. The promo wasn't much, but DC has had success in making quality Halloween inspired movies. In my opinion, anyway.

  6. Trini, Rachel, and Virna

    Trini was more flawed than Angela and therefore inherently more interesting to watch.

    Herman was better written character than Rachel, but Rachel was funnier.

    I choose Virna because she was very complex and funny individual in a show where women often got the shaft when it came to characterization.
