The DRDs from Farscape and the Scutters from Red Dwarf ought to count. I loved those little guys!

Well Lt Corwyn from B5 and Walter from SG have already been mentioned and I suspect Wedge Antilles stopped being a background character a long time ago, so I nominate Brother Theo.

'You're a princess from a society of immortal warriors. I'm a rich kid with issues. Lots of issues.'
'No. No dating for the Batman. It might cut into your brooding time.'
'Tactically we have multiple objectives. So we need to split into teams.'-'Dibs on the Amazon!'
'Hey, we both have a Martian's phone number on our speed dial. I think I deserve the benefit of the doubt.'
'You know, for a guy with like 50 different kinds of vision, you sure are blind.'

Amelia Banks from Stargate Atlantis. She was just one of those minor control room characters who had the job of pushing buttons and announcing that something bad is happening. Then when Michael takes over the city she helps Ronon out by kickboxing the hell out of a hybrid that just about pasted him. Awesome.

You mean Lou Welch? Aye, he was a decent character. Incidentally he reappears in Peter Davids Centauri Prime books

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.
