Seriously, Omar Little is quite possibly the most frightening person I&#8217;ve ever seen on TV. I&#8217;m not sure that a crime fighter from the &#8217;80s with a talking car can handle all that is Omar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/michael-knight-thumb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-32597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/michael-knight-thumb.jpg\" title=\"Michael Knight\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\"\/><\/a><strong>Michael Knight<\/strong> \u2013 Rescued by a billionaire after he was shot in the face, Detective Michael Long became Michael Knight. He was given a cool talking car, one of the best white dude afros ever, and a smoldering look that he pulled out at least a few dozen times every episode.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> Does Knight really have any strengths himself? Most of what made him unbeatable to the criminals featured in the show were the cool gizmos and gadgets that his car had.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> Besides having a great hairdo, Knight depends a lot on his sentient automobile to get him through a fight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/omar-little-thumb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-32598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/omar-little-thumb.jpg\" title=\"Omar Little\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\"\/><\/a><strong>Omar Little<\/strong> \u2013 You don&#8217;t want to mess with Omar. The moment you hear him whistling his favorite tune, &#8220;Farmer in the Dell,&#8221; run. Seriously, just run. No good can come from having a meeting with Omar. It might as well be death himself walking around that corner.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> His legend precedes him. He&#8217;s known throughout Baltimore for being a cunning, devious planner and a master stick-up man. His intimidation factor goes a long way in helping him rob rival drug dealers and other miscreants.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> I&#8217;m afraid to even say, in fear that he might be listening.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-194\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_194\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/blog\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_194_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"38a5295117\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"194\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Michael Knight vs. Omar Little<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-194-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1039\" name=\"poll_194\" value=\"1039\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1039\">Michael Knight<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1040\" name=\"poll_194\" value=\"1040\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1040\">Omar Little<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(194);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(194); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-194-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-sarah-walker.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-sarah-walker.jpg\" title=\"Angel vs. Sarah Walker\" width=\"523\" height=\"180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-sarah-walker.jpg 523w, https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-sarah-walker-300x103.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 523px) 100vw, 523px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a weird fact: The most used last name in this tournament is Walker. We have three Walkers (Sarah, Annie, and that one guy Chuck Norris played) competing for the prize. The first Walker to compete was Annie, but she didn&#8217;t fair too well against Hulk Hogan as Hurricane Spencer. The Walker crew faces another uphill battle here as Sarah Walker (sorry, I just got drool on my keyboard) of &#8216;Chuck&#8217; fame faces off against one of the many supernatural beings in this tournament. It also doesn&#8217;t help that he has a huge cult fan base. Sarah Walker takes on Angel in this fight.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/sarah-walker-thumb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-32599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/sarah-walker-thumb.jpg\" title=\"Sarah Walker\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\"\/><\/a><strong>Sarah Walker<\/strong> \u2013 One thing I&#8217;ve really liked about this tournament has been all the awesome kick-butt ladies we&#8217;ve had. Unfortunately, as of right now, only <s>one<\/s>two of them have made it through to the next round. Annie Walker, Max Guevara, Sydney Bristow and Xena were all left bruised and bloodied in the first round. Only Echo and Buffy made it out alive. Can Sarah Walker overcome what seem like insurmountable odds here? With her sexy ass-kicking ways, she just might.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> We all know that &#8216;Chuck&#8217; has a rabid fan base. Its ardent fans were the reason that the show stayed on the air five seasons. Having a good, loyal fan base is already half the battle. It helps considerably that Sarah Walker is also excellent at just about everything she does. Fighting, gunplay, espionage \u2013 she can do just about anything. So, if given the means to kill a vampire, I wouldn&#8217;t put it past her.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> She&#8217;s only mortal and she&#8217;s going up against an immortal being.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-thumb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-32596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/angel-thumb.jpg\" title=\"Angel\" width=\"107\" height=\"107\"\/><\/a><strong>Angel<\/strong> \u2013 Not too many characters go on to star in a spin-off show that was just as popular and beloved as the original series it spawned from. Angel is a vampire, but with a twist. He has a soul.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Strengths:<\/span> As a vampire, he has all the usual powers that vampires possess, like super-strength, agility, speed and rapid healing.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Weaknesses:<\/span> He also comes with all the vampire weaknesses. A well placed stake or a heavy dose of sunlight should do the trick.<\/p>\n<div id=\"polls-195\" class=\"wp-polls\">\n\t<form id=\"polls_form_195\" class=\"wp-polls-form\" action=\"\/blog\/index.php\" method=\"post\">\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"poll_195_nonce\" name=\"wp-polls-nonce\" value=\"5fbdb3b28a\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"display: none;\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"poll_id\" value=\"195\" \/><\/p>\n\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Angel vs. Sarah Walker<\/strong><\/p><div id=\"polls-195-ans\" class=\"wp-polls-ans\"><ul class=\"wp-polls-ul\">\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1041\" name=\"poll_195\" value=\"1041\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1041\">Angel<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<li><input type=\"radio\" id=\"poll-answer-1042\" name=\"poll_195\" value=\"1042\" \/> <label for=\"poll-answer-1042\">Sarah Walker<\/label><\/li>\n\t\t<\/ul><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><input type=\"button\" name=\"vote\" value=\"   Vote   \" class=\"Buttons\" onclick=\"poll_vote(195);\" \/><\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"#ViewPollResults\" onclick=\"poll_result(195); return false;\" title=\"View Results Of This Poll\">View Results<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t<\/form>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"polls-195-loading\" class=\"wp-polls-loading\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-polls\/images\/loading.gif\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Loading ...\" title=\"Loading ...\" class=\"wp-polls-image\" \/>&nbsp;Loading ...<\/div>\n\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monday&#8217;s TV Madness featured another very close race.
