hafital | Whimsical Musing #490832

Last night I watched the Star Trek: Next Generation episode Who Watches the Watchers, which has always been an episode to love -- "we must not anger The Picard!" Naturally, a bronze-age race of proto-vulcans would start a religion based on a fuzzy, two-minute encounter with Picard. Who wouldn't? Shoot, I'd get behind a religion that worshiped The Picard. I think I might be there, already.

This thought dovetailed to my current devotion to Tony Almeida and the already existing Almeida Is God [Dot] Com. There should be a Picard Is God website!

I'm loving all this blasphemy.

And then I started trying to figure out what other characters rise to the level of God, for me, at least:

AlmeidaIsGod (naturally) (eta: upon further reflection, it behooves me to note that JackBauerIsGod, but that's rather a gimme)
PicardIsGod
SonnySteelgraveIsGod
RogerLococoIsGod (Wiseguy is perhaps the only show that is peopled almost entirely by gods. I would venture to say FrankIsGod is not an unknown religion. And I'm sure MelProffitIsGod is thriving, even if it's only Mel Proffit worshiping himself.)
DesmondHumeIsGod
ConnieMurphyIsGod (There should be more women on this list!)

Strangely, I do not think either Duncan or Methos should warrant an "is God". They're already near godlike in their natural state, just by breathing, although I'm tempted to say MatthewMcCormickIsGod and also ConnorMacLeodIsGod. The same with the Doctor -- he doesn't need an "is God" -- and I feel the same with most characters on Doctor Who, with the very important exception of Donna Noble, who is probably lord supreme over all: DonnaNobleIsGodOfAllTheUniverseAndBeyond[Dot]Com.

It's rather a feeling of total love, of bubbling affection, of complete adoration, of pure devotion regardless of the winds of television (or any other kind of) writing. It's different than BSO love. I venture to say it's purer than that. *g*

Can anyone think of others?
