Q just makes exploding pens and jetpacks, but Scully does alien autopsies and finds government implants in people and such. Plus she's hotter than Q :p

Q.  No competition.

Although, if they'd included Professor Frinck.........

Edit; give me an exploding pen and jetpack over a died smelly green man any day

It was a toss up between THE DOCTOR and Spock. I like Trek more so I went with the Vulcan.

What does it mean, though? I can't contribute because I don't know who qualifies.

Hmm, from the context, boffin probably means scientist, though you never can tell with those tricksy British, it could just as well mean lamp-post.

[color=66ff00]A boffin is someone who's quite smart or ingenious, it almost always has scientific overtones.

Scully.
Cause at least, she's there throughout the episode/movie, rather than just a one-time appearance.
