Fire away!

Adios, Roads Taken

I guess they chose the lesser path.

Round 1:

Last Days. I don't particularly like Asylum, but I still look at Last Days as more of an Arturo-Bennish ep than a Quinn-Wade ep, and the romantic implications of that are too disturbing to dwell on.

Round 2:

Easy Slider.

Round 3:

Heavy Metal.

Round 4:

Net Worth

I waive my right to negate.

Group 1

This one is very close. Rembrandt's affair with the Magg doctor was very good. Cleavant's singing was stupendous. But it doesn't match up with Last Days. Wade/Quinn, the essence of the first season of the show. Keep Last Days.

Group 2
Luck of the Draw stays. Wade and Ryan and Quinn. Definitely. Easy Slider go away!

Group 3
Obsession vs. Heavy Metal, very difficult. Keep Heavy metal because Obsession was a bad episode. The actor going after Wade was terrible and the story was just as bad. Plus I loved Paxton. Too bad they couldn't have had him all season instead of Mallory.

Group 4
As Time Goes By stays of course. Duh! Net Worth is worthy but no.

My do no eliminate pick is Last Days.

The battle of Old vs. New...

Beginning Text must be destroyed in the crossfire!

Each category now boasts one "Torme" ep and one "Peck" ep. That should prove interesting.

In other news, I'm surprised "Roads Taken" went down so quickly. I mean, not to defend its logic-defying premise, its lack of romantic chemistry (JOC, as usual, looks half-asleep throughout), its generic and cheaply presented alt-world, or its liberal borrowing from episodes of "Star Trek"... but it IS centred around the leads, and even has a lasting impact on both (as seen in "The Unstuck Man," "Applied Physics" and "The Seer" -- just not in "Revelations." *sigh*)

"Last Days" vs. "Asylum"
Tough choice: the ultimate Quinn/Wade ep against perhaps the ultimate Cleavant performance. Well, I'm going for the melodrama on the strength of CD and his songwriting. I may well regret this.
VOTE: Last Days

"Luck of the Draw" vs. "Easy Slider"
Oh, might as well make this one a *little* interesting... 7>:-P
VOTE: Luck of the Draw

"Obsession" vs. "Heavy Metal"
S2's contender blows its competition out of the... well, water.
VOTE: Heavy Metal

"As Time Goes By" vs. "Net Worth"
Daelin! Daelin! Daelin!
VOTE: Net Worthless

Beginning Text must be destroyed!

Sure, as stakes go, it's rather blunt. But it'll do.

"Asylum"- A couple of dates and one of Cleavant's best performances don't create the atmosphere of romance quite the same way that the Quinn-Wade smoochies in "Last Days" do. Besides, this episode dumped me right before the prom!

"Easy Slider"- Easy vote. Why isn't this gone already?

"Heavy Metal"- 'Obsession' may have involved the most of our sliders in a romance; I'm not aware that three sliders were involved in a romantic plotline in any other eppy. Remmy's nurse, Wade and Derek (before psychic boy got all possessive) and Quinn's obvious feelings for Wade make this one of the more romantic eps in the series' run.

"Net Worth"- You could catch a more worthwhile romantic story in a net. <plunges Mr. Pointless into Net Worth's heart>

BT made me miss round 2.


Here are my votes for elimination:

Group 1
"Asylum"

Group 2
"Easy Slider"

Group 3
"Heavy Metal"

Group 4
"Net Worth"

Negation vote goes to "Last Days". C'mon, you can't vote against the one time that Quinn and Wade almost got jiggy with it.

I will Survive.

Vote 1:

Last Days

It's always annoyed me that there's no dicussion of the ramifications of a prolonged war with Japan.

Vote 2:

Easy Slider

Let's see Krycheck vs. Polyandrous motorcycle chicks with male names.

Krycheck wins.

Vote 3:

HEAVY METAL

Let's see Patrick Stuart of Obsession was Dr. Zee in "Galactica 1980"

Marshall Teague from "Heavy Metal" was Ta'lon in BABYLON 5

G80 needs all the support it can get. (It's still much more entertaining than Ron Moore's remake: GALACTICA: Above and Beyond.

Vote 4:

NET WORTH

Let's see star-crossed Internet love vs. 4 wacky alt-worlds, time running back, and Daelin Richards. Plus the title is one of the greatest songs of all time.
