Characters On Sci-Fi Shows Who Make You Want To Completely Smash Your TV

In the grand scheme of science-fiction television, there have been some really phenomenal characters who’ve graced our screens and made us believe in the “other”: Fox Mulder, Mal Reynolds, and Kathryn Janeway are just a few who come to mind.

Of course, they’re on one side of the sci-fi character spectrum. On the other, you’ve got people like Valerie Stahl, Kai Winn, and Nikki & Paulo. Not everyone can be a great addition to a sci-fi team. Or even a decent addition. Or likable, in any sense of the word.

So we’ve rounded up the most hated characters from sci-fi TV, the characters who’ve genuinely made us want to throw our remotes through our screens. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Charlie Matheson (Revolution)

Charlie is the type of character who only survives because of blind, stupid luck. In the post-apocalyptic world of “Revolution,” luck is not the kind of trait one looks for in fellow survivors. Alas, Charlie seems to thrive on it (because she’s clearly lacking common sense).

Never taking the sound advice of wiser, more world-worn Miles, continuously outing herself to the enemy, and generally always putting the people she loves in needlessly stupid situations makes Charlie the least capable person on the series; it’s no wonder she couldn’t carry it past season 2.

Adric (Dr. Who)

Bratty, pompous know-it-alls are good for one thing only in television: to die, and to give a series’ audience the validation that his/her death was truly deserved.

Adric seemed to serve this purpose on “Dr. Who,” being so completely unbearable that he became the first companion ever to bite it.

Shannon Rutherford (Lost)

What did Shannon ever actually do on the island? Does anyone know? Sure, she looked good in a two-piece, but mostly she was just there to whine and provide background for Boone. Translation skills aside, we all clapped a little (OK, a lot) when she died.
