Favorite quote/exchange: Not my favorite line, I don't think, but he has some of the best lines in the series, seriously. I really can't chose. :[
Chief Tyrol: How do you know I'm human?
Brother Cavil: Oh, well, maybe because I'm a Cylon and I've never seen you at any of the meetings.
Favorite quote/exchange about the character: "Is there anything that isn't fodder for a joke with you? Or is that really how you see our very existence, as some sort of nihilistic punch line?"
Quote that has been insightful: "I don't want to be human! I want to see gamma rays! I want to hear X-rays, and I -- I want to -- I want to smell dark matter! Do you see the absurdity of what I am? I can't even express these things properly because I have to -- I have to conceptualize complex ideas in this stupid, limiting spoken language! But I know I want to reach out with something other than these prehensile paws, and feel the solar wind of a supernova flowing over me! I'm a machine, and I could know much more, I could experience so much more, but I'm trapped in this absurd body! And why? Because my five creators thought that God wanted it that way."

In any case, this was the first speech he had where I really got him. It was like a click in my head watching the episode, where suddenly all of his flaws made perfect sense. Alternatively, his "everyone lets me down" line in The Plan. :[ His life, so hard.

Favorite quote: I have no idea why this one keeps sticking with me, but it was in his very first thread, when asked about serving gods as a priest:
"Like I said, I don't anymore. Most people around here chose not to believe in them, and so serving them, you see, becomes absolutely meaningless. That's the funny thing about gods. They don't do long distance."

IN ANY CASE. I don't know if it's my favorite quote, because there have been a lot of threads I've enjoyed. I always love writing him bantering with Saitou/Kiryu/Alastair, being snobby with Lust, and gushing about machine things with GLaDOS, etc.

Favorite quote about the character: I think there was one point when Saitou said Cavil's posting on the comm because he "likes attention and analyzing others weaknesses," which is so totally true. Also, Kiryu calling him "all talk" when he was killing him.

NAI EVERYTHING NIGEL SAYS IN CANON AND IN CNC IS RIDICULOUS sob.

[pike]

Favorite quote/exchange: "One vision I seee clear as life before me, that the ancient mother has awakened once more, sitting on her throne rejuvenated, more glorious than ever. Proclaim her to all the world with a voice of peace and benediction..."

I'm 23. Look at me, I'm 23.

I can see you all from up here... all the boys and girls... all the dicks and fannys...

And what of the sexual revolutions, boys and girls?

ARE YOU IN THE RIGHT SEXUAL CATEGORY? This is the question.

Who gives a shit... tits and balls dicks and fannys.

Give me the celibate vegetarians from mars anytime.

I'd love to fuck you up.

I'D LOVE TO FUCK YOU UP.

Favorite quote/exchange about the character: She is the bottle feed daughter of the throw away age.
Quote that has been insightful: We all get one free miracle. It is written into the contract of life.

Some need it at the beginning -
The big bang, Adam and Eve.

Some want it at the middle -
The return of a long dead deity,
A shot at celebrity.

But I'm hanging onto mine,
My one free miracle.

And I'll take it at the end.

Favorite quote: the darkest skin, the darkest skin
baked in the sun, we do the warmest sin
i taste the earth, i see the women again
who have the darkest skin, the darkest skin

five million miles, the universe apart
we eat the heat from the heaviest star
and even if your skin is dead and marred
i feel you out, like galactic radar

in my sweatiest dreams, i see the end
total white hot light that's express-sent
still, all i wanna do is that warmest sin
while pressed against those with the darkest skin

Favorite quote about the character: JESUS CHRIST I'M SEARCHING THROUGH SO MANY THREADS HELP ME OUT HERE

Favorite quote/exchange: My friends, it has often been said that I like war... Whole damn thing.
Favorite quote/exchange about the character: "The despicable, smug little smirk he wore on his face... that dreadful laugh, his cheeks puffing up for every cackle! He looked nothing like any Nazi SS officer I had ever seen..."
Quote that has been insightful: "The purpose? What a silly question, my beautiful fraulein! Purpose! [giggles] How quaint! To put it in the simplest possible terms, fraulein, our purpose is a total absence of purpose. You should be aware, fraulein, that there are some people in this world- certain irredeemable louts- for whom the means does not require an end. I speak of course of myself."

Favorite quote: I'm particularly fond of the Major's pre-battle speech here.
Favorite quote about the character: The Major is ripe mocking fodder, and no one does it better than Tank Girl.

Favorite quote/exchange: Oh god so many. I think I'll go with "Reality continues to ruin my life," since that's one I identify with very much.
Favorite quote/exchange about the character: Miss Wormwood's deadpan reactions to Calvin are often priceless: "It's not enough that we have to be disciplinarians. Now we have to be psychiatrists."
Quote that has been insightful: "I'm a simple man, Hobbes."
"You?? Yesterday you wanted a nuclear powered car that could turn into a jet with laser-guided heat-seeking missiles!"
"I'm a simple man with complex tastes." This is very true.

Cape&Cowl
Favorite quote: This is a tough one. I think I'm gonna go with the grounded post.
Favorite quote about the character: Domino in this thread: 'Huh. My respect for Harvey just rose a little.'

[magicalworld]

My favourite will forever be 'keeping two universes waiting', as well as 'I'm not a Cylon! I- Oh. Well, okay then."

He's had so many great lines in C&C, too. Just going through his tags at random, his reaction to Billy here is fantastic.

[magicalworld]

From C&C, off the top of my head: "Oh yes, and I suppose the fiddling contest later on is just for sport," and No teleporting and restraining tonight, please, we just ate.

Rimmer's fantastically quotable.

[magicalworld]

civilizations waiting derp.

Favorite quote/exchange: Danny and Jeryn are standing in an elevator being all derpy-business-like:
Jeryn: Danny, can I ask you something?
Danny: Yeah.
Jeryn: Lately your expense account has been through the roof.
Danny: Yeah.
Jeryn: Danny... Are you using your Rand expense account to fund Luke and his fugitive Avengers?
Danny: Nooooooo.
[SILENCE in which Danny actually makes the icon face]
Danny: Yeah.

Favorite quote/exchange about the character: I'm just going to fucking link these goddamn.
Lei-Kung loves Daniel Rand'Kai (http://i40.tinypic.com/msyov7.jpg)
Spidey wants a piece of that (http://i42.tinypic.com/nlsjes.jpg)
The Slippers Conversation (http://i41.tinypic.com/swu80g.jpg)
Quote that has been insightful: Oh god, get ready for all of issue 1's narration:

"I am the Iron Fist. I hold back the storm when nothing else can. But it should have been you, Father. This was to be your legacy, not mine. But you returned to the world, instead... To build the empire I now run... And start a family. This was the world you chose and now... I'm what you would have been, if you hadn't been knocked from your path. I can still feel the frost of that day, lost in the K'un-Lun Mountains... can still hear Mother's screams as you fall... the howling of the wolves that pursued us... and the sounds they made as they took her from me. She saved my life, even though she didn't believe in your stories. She thought you had gotten us all killed... But she was wrong. The mystical City of K'un-Lun did exist high in those mountains, you had simply forgotten the path."
AND THEN LATER:
"So, here we all are. A Hydra legion chasing me across the rooftops of Manhattan... While a Hydra front corporation is making moves against Rand Corp. My enemy attacks from both sides, while I simply leap before I look, as always. And I wonder if that's something I learned from you, Father... long ago, in the snow-covered mountains... when you died... and I was reborn. My life since then taken me to all corners of the world... and brought me partners... friends... even lovers. But they have a life I can never know... because this burden that should have been yours, now rests solely on me. It's my life's work, this great sacrifice. I chose the path you turned away from... and often I think I understand why you did so."

THERE'S MORE TO THAT BUT yeah. This is what I've been trying to aim for with his character?

He said something along the lines of "You don't know what you've done is good until it's done" while he was in coma mode that was cool.

He had an obligatory friendship and inner-strength speech for Bakura but damned if I remember it all/am motivated to open a new tab to copypasta it. :V
Favorite quote about the character:
Idk he's kind of under the radar??

[soldieringblue]

My favorite Iron Fist moment (...my only Iron Fist moment outside of Cable&Deadpool) was in Doctor Strange's Blood Oath special where he's at the doctor's office with a pulled hammy. Said he was fighting ninjas. :V

Favorite quote/exchange: I DON'T THINK I HAVE ONE :/ LET'S JUST BULLSHIT MMKAY it's either "Bloodshed begets bloodshed, hatred begets hatred... a powerful festering energy roots itself in this land and carves a crest of blood. No matter how many times they repeat it, they're unable to learn from it. Humans are such stupid and sad creatures." or her death speech!
"... you win. I hate to admit it, but it isn't too bad to get killed by a man like you. I like those determined eyes of yours. I can't wait. The day... your eyes will be filled with torment... is right... there... /DISINTEGRATES"
Favorite quote/exchange about the character: WELL IT SPARKED THIS USERNAME SO

Quote that has been insightful:
MUSTANGO: ... you freak.
Lust: How rude. Our appearance is no different from yours, and we also have five senses, emotions, and affection for the parent that created us. [DRAMATIC PAUSE, CREEPYFACE] We are humans.
