*shrugs* Hard to say. Judging by a quick skim of the magazine, it's somewhat more oriented towards SF TV series, such as Doctor Who, than books or movies. So the LotR characters (in any version) are probably starting from behind anyway.

How did Lorne (Angel) get such a high spot in the "Favourite Monsters, Supernatural Beings & Fantasy Creatures" poll? Gollum is a much better character; he played a pivotal role in getting two main characters to their destination, and he fulfilled the quest inadvertently. Lorne just...sings...a lot. (I'm joking.) I'm just glad Jar Jar Binks isn't on that list.

Gandalf and Obi Wan are also better characters than Giles. Oh well, I didn't vote so why am I ranting? Ha!
