Supernatural, Buffy Or X-Files Quiz: Who Said It - Dean Winchester, Xander Harris Or Fox Mulder?
These God-tier smart-asses from Supernatural, Buffy and The X-Files have a lot to answer for.
Having arrived on each of their successor's coattails before going on to build immense fandoms in their own right, The X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural have an awful lot in common.
Whether it is the fiery chemistry of the core cast, the long-season format, or their concern with everything weird, wonderful and, well, supernatural, the three shows have kept generations of viewers on the edge of their seats (and sometimes hiding behind the sofa) for nearly three decades now.
But each show has someone who is not willing to take the paranormal too seriously – that one guy who will crack wise in any life or death situation, especially if it means winding up his friends or enemies in the process.
Buffy has the Slayer's quick-witted best bud Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon), a high-schooler turned construction worker extraordinaire; X-Files has Mulder (David Duchovny), the kooky FBI agent with charisma, heart, and a head for conspiracies; and Supernatural has the big man himself (no, not God), Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles), hunter, big brother, Man of Letters, lover of pudding...
But have you memorised Mulder's one-liners? Do you know Dean to death? Does Xander live in your head rent free? It's time to find out.
