Q of course
You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star.- Nietzsche

When in despair I remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won; there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall.- Mahatma Gandhi

I dunno how some of those people got into that list. I mean, Scully is not a boffin. She's too hot to be a boffin.
Mulder could be a boffin but not Scully.

The word Boffin, to me, means Geek, Lab coat, Glasses.

It's definitely between the Back to the Future mad scientist guy (GREAT SCOTT!) and Q (Will you cut that out 007!) from that list :)

Outside the list, how about Gordan Freeman (HalfLife) or John Carmack?
Frasier Crane? Actually no, not Frasier... eck.

I voted for the Doctor, our favorite renegade Time Lord. :)
Jesse - "Brennan's reading, Shalimar's cleaning up, and Emma...Emma's playing chess by herself and still getting her ass kicked."
Emma - "I HEARD THAT!"

Jerri - "Of course, you've got plenty to show off yourself here big guy."
Todd - "She's got X-Ray vision."
Brennan - "Oh... HEY!"

He's not that much of a renegade.  His human half just happens to include a conscience and a sense of justice which the Galafreyans don't seem to have in great supply seeing as they didn't kill the Master and instead let him **** with the timeline and let the Doctor do their dirty work.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

She's supposed to be brilliant as well as hot.

I'm sorry, Scully isn't hot.

Well, keep in mind, she's in her 40s now. And she does have a certain charm, though I will admit that she's not outright beautiful.

Too mainstream for the BBC 'cult' website, I'd guess.

I was hoping for someone to say "I never joke about my work 007"... but you're all failures and I'm highly disappointed :p

Tbh, bbc cult really is mainstream stuff. They had Buffy under cult.
