    Default Dinner for you + 3 TV characters of your choice: Who gets the invite?

    The plane lands on Fantasy Island, and Mr. Roark has arranged a special dinner for you and three TV characters of your choice (not the actors, the characters), with none of his usual life lessons involved. The table, however, will only hold four. Who gets the other seats?

    Mine:
    • M*A*S*H's Colonel Sherman Potter. I'd love to just hear him talk about horses and being a physician/soldier through three wars.
    • The Man From U.N.C.L.E.'s Alexander Waverley. He'd have a fascinating view of the world and politics.
    • Remington Steele's Laura Holt. Refined and intelligent, her stories on success in A Man's Profession would make for interesting listening.

    The real weakness of the dinner party would probably be me.

    Brisco County, Jr.
    Adam Savage
    Gomez Addams

    The first two talk about the next big thing, and convince Addams to fund it. I sit back and pretend I understand what they're talking about.

    Serious question...

    Does a "Universal..." translator count as one of my three if one of the others' native language presents an issue?

    Kathryn Janeway (Star Trek: Voyager)
    The Fifth Doctor (Doctor Who)
    Gemma Simmons (Marvel's Agents of SHIELD)

    Lots of interesting stories to swap, and I think Five could find that both Kathryn and Gemma would make good temporary companions in the TARDIS as well. Gemma might want to make sure she doesn't get stranded on another alien planet of course, to which Kathryn chuckles and says try being stuck in an entire space quadrant...

    Nope. No more than the utensils do.

    Raymond Reddington (The Black List)
    The 4th Doctor (Doctor Who)
    Zaphod Beeblebrox (from the BBC's The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy adaptation)

    Now those guys would have some stories to tell.

    You all have interesting choices. I was just going to pick three hot women,(who'd also be interesting to talk to) but now I might have to think a little deeper...

    The conversation certainly won't be dull, you've got to give me that.
