Your 10 most pointless TV characters?
 

Not your 10 worst characters, but who you feel personally if they left the show it wouldn't have much of an affect on the story? The show can be currently on air or finished, it doesn't matter.

Anyway here's my 10 most pointless characters.

1. Chloe (Stargate Universe)
2. Kala (Sense8)
3. Prince Charming (Once Upon A Time)
4. Lori (The Walking Dead)
5. Lloyd (FlashForward)
6. Olivia (FlashForward)
7. Ford (Stargate Atlantis)
8. Sasha (The Walking Dead)
9. Daryl (The Walking Dead)
10. Juliet (Lost)

As I've said it's most pointless not who you dislike the most, as my list would definitely have Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer on this list otherwise.:joker:

What was pointless about Juliet you heathen?

Her main purpose was to function in that stupid love quadrangle between herself, Sawyer, Jack, and Kate, she just didn't seem to do anything else.:laugh:

She was a main member of the Others.

She had more none quadrangle purpose than the DIABOLICAL KATE.

Until they butchered her in season 5 and made her a bit player in Sawyer, Jack and Kate's story before killing her off in the most cruel way without addressing any of her own plots or character. :bored:

The show really fisted itself in those last 2 seasons.

There's plenty of pretty pointless characters in Lost tbh (Nikki and Paolo, Miles, Mr Eko, Charlotte, Ilana, Libby off the top of my head) but Juliette is NOT one of them.

I always found Maxxie and Anwar pretty pointless in Skins and any storyline they did have lacked depth and felt like an afterthought.

Meg and Chris from Family Guy strike me as very obvious ones

What was pointless about Lori?

She was a main character for the first 2 seasons of the show. The effect of her death is still reflected on characters today over 5 years later.

Lori like Juliet is very loosely connected to the show that she was suppose to be on, she offered no humour to the show, no insight into how to survive against the Zombies, and no interactions with most of her cast, admittedly she affected Rick, but she didn't really change anyone else that much which makes her a pointless character in my book considering she was suppose to be the leading lady at that point of the show's run.

Didn't Libby know who Hurley was before they crashed onto the island? That makes her more relevant than Juliet imo who's story was mainly led by Ben.

Kim in 24 season's 2 + 3 was pretty pointless although I still enjoyed her in it.

Max and Billy, Stranger Things S2. Maybe they'll have a purpose in S3 or something? As far as S2 goes it was literally like they had been pulled out of some other 80's themed show and plonked down there for no reason :think:. Max created a small division between Dustin and Lucas but even that was totally unecessary and didn't affect the plot in any way.

Libby was at the same mental institution as Hurley so that makes her more relevant than Juliet?

Despite Libby never having a centric episode, or actually involved in any plot line?

Juliet was a main player of season 3. She was active in the stories of 4 of the shows biggest characters and was the major death in the fifth season finale, which kicked off the final season of the show when she hit dat bomb.

Your argument has more holes than the outrigger.

I hated Lori but she definitely had a point in the show, she was what caused best friends Shane and Rick to constantly fight and power struggle and was the whole reason for that storyline over 2 seasons

Never really given it much thought so I'll just think of some shows I like.

Frasier: Bulldog. Just a really one-note annoying character that didn't really have much emotional depth or growth (or rather, did once, but then Roz shot him down)
Game of Thrones: Samwell Tarly. So so so so boring and has never been interesting. Semi-rooted for him at the start because #TeamFat but oh god he's so wet and wimpy. Idc if he's integral with the books or whatever.
Breaking Bad: I can't really think of anyone from this because it's faultless :p but if I had to pick one, I'd say Lydia from the last season(s)... I liked her but can't remember anything about her storyline really.
Desperate Housewives: Every scene with Mike in it just bored me to tears
Westworld: I feel whoever I say here is going to prompt an essay from Lostie so I'll just bark the word 'Armistice' and run away (even though I think I love her?)

i'm bored now i cba with 10

this is a bad opinion

Well Libby was a Mystery on a Mystery show, why she knew Hurley is more relevant than Juliet who away from the quadrangle was a secondary character in Ben's stories.

But that story has nothing to do with surviving a Zombie apocalypse though?

It did for Shane

I always thought that Shane's path to insanity because of what he went through in the Zombie Apocalypse was his most important story imo, especially what happened to one of the Greene's in season 2.

Yes but his path to insanity was very heavily aided by his and Loris relationship and it's affect on his friendship with Rick etc How you can say Lori was pointless when she was probably the most major catalyst for the storylines in the first two seasons is beyond me and like I said this is coming from someone who hated her character

Because Lori's story doesn't fit in with the show's story which is why I classed her as pointless.

She would've suited Desperate Housewives or Grey's Anatomy alot more.

The story is about people and their relationships as much as surviving the apocalypse, would be a pretty s**t show if every episode was filled with them battling Zombies

The show imo is suppose to be about what caused the Zombies to exist in the first place, killing any Zombies that get in the characters way, and of course trying to find a cure to destroy the disease once and for all, not who's in love with who.

The show isn't about 2 out of 3 of the things you listed there though so no that's not what it's supposed to be about, it may be what you wish it was about but it isn't :laugh:

:joker: tbf Armistice was pretty minor for someone in the main cast but how DARE anyone say she's more pointless than Lee Effing Sizemore

Other big ones for me:

Daryl, The Walking Dead (sorry Daryl stans, he's been a glorified spare part hanging around for fanservice since season 4)

Tara, The Walking Dead (she was actually interesting when she joined but that feels like a century ago, Lord knows why she's deemed a main character and how she's survived this long.)

Deacon, 12 Monkeys (why on earth is he in the main cast yet Olivia isn't when she's 10000000 times more important?? But they actually referenced his apparent pointlessness in-show last season so I think it's intentional and he'll be significant to the endgame next season

Monty, The 100 (he's been part of the main cast for 4 seasons and I'm yet to see a reason why)

Will Scarlet, Once Upon a Time (he was a **** character in the spinoff but at least had a story and to pander to fanservice they brought him into the main show because he was for some reason popular and then... he did absolutely nothing and vanished when they realised they had nothing to do with the character. A bloody FIASCO!)

Also have to unfortunately agree with the suggestions of Ilana, Charlotte and Nikki & Paulo and Miles from Lost even though I loved them all. The first 4 only ended up pointless because they were bloody killed off too quickly. :idc: (although Charlotte's death was the catalyst for Daniel's crusade to change the past so she wasn't entirely pointless, but if being dead is your most important role in the story...), I'd add Frank too, his whole purpose was flying people places (which in itself was important for the story but he as a character was completely insignificant, he was just a function)

Game of Thrones: Daenerys ''miss way too many titles'' Targaryen, comes across in the show as really arrogant and spoilt, rightful heir to the seven kingdoms blah blah blah

The Walking Dead: Rick/Michonne's love story
