Battle Of The Sci-Fi Santas

[Primetimer]

Two very different Fathers Christmas visited genre shows on each side of the Atlantic this year, but which one should have kept gift receipts?

Campbell's gray three-piece looks nice on him, but anyone who sits in the big chair at the mall looking like that is going to get arrested

Ho! Ho! Ho! Good one!

But the true test is: Which one would you rather see again next year?

[ganesh]

There is no "British Bruce Campbell". There is only One Bruce Campbell. 

 

The Librarians' version was clever. They used the historical basis for Santa as part of the characterization, and the "avatar" fit well enough into the established show universe. Who used the typical, modern, commercial version of Santa; rather one-note for me.

Does all that time in New Zealand as Autolycus the King of Thieves count for nothing in the Commonwealth? Surely Bruce Campbell is the British "Bruce Campell" or the Empire was built up and dismantled for nothing :-)

I don't see a need to choose, we can have both Santas. But the Who Santa was not the sole focus of his episode, but still made an impression, and that should count for something.
