This came up in another thread and thought it might be fun, if done the right way.
So here are the rules.
1. This isn't a debate it is an archive of evidence for or against how awesome one or the other is no winner will be declared. You need state a fact and sight a source (only TV episodes / movies accepted).
- Even better link to a clip if available but don't just link to a clip since they may get removed over time.
2. No chat in this thread, take it to another thread, each post should be something that highlights a strength or a weakness of the character.
3. If a source of evidence it self is a response to that of the other character showing strength or weakness vs that character, you may quote the evidence so they appear together.
Hopefully we end up with an interesting thread.
