New SFX Magazine Poll





A new poll in the latest SFX magazine has been published to find readers' Top 100 Sci-Fi Icons of the 21st Century. The results include 10 characters from the Whoniverse/Torchwood, and the highlights are as follows:
  • 85 - Martha Jones
  • 82 - Rose Tyler
  • 71 - Rory Williams
  • 52 - Donna Noble
  • 44 - Gwen Cooper
  • 41 - Amy Pond
  • 27 - River Song
  • 5 - Ianto Jones
  • 3 - Jack Harkness
  • 2 - The Doctor

Many 'icons' come from brilliant BBC shows like Being Human, and Life On Mars, and that other giant of British culure, Harry Potter took the No. 7 slot. The highest placed American character was Buffy Summers, at No. 4. Obviously, as a Whovian I'm biased, but I was stunned to see that the No. 1 position is taken by Mal Reynolds of Firefly! At least Sheldon Cooper would be pleased.
