Tournament-Top Stargate SG-1 Episodes! SEMI-FINALS Rnd 1: "For Cryin' Out Loud!" Bracket Now Voting!

My votes go to:

-Window of Opportunity (such a hard decision, as Threads is damn right excellent, but WOO is so hard to vote against on any grounds other than "because everyone will vote for it anyways" )

-There But For the Grace of God (again, sucker for AU stories, but it's done very well also- it was the first episode to really use various gate mechnaics combined in a manner to make the use of the gate full of suspense, ie: after max-wormhole window ends, having to dial out before they dial back in, with the Iris being used accordingly at the same time- we don't see this used quite as well as it is here until Lost City, IMO; but honorable nod to Origin, which is what really launched Season 9 for me- it's has Daniel as the shining knight of logic, and the Doci's words establishing the Ori as outright terrifying in ways neither the Wraith nor the Goa'uld ever really accomplished).

 

Yeah, I suck. Atlantis will be over before we finished this at this rate. Thankfully the Atlantis tournament will be half as short, so I'm psoitive that'll gte finished before SGU is cancelled

 

We were doing ok for awhile- it was a small group but after a few people dropped off it became too small.

 

I'm going to unstick this until I can get this going again.

 

To fill the time until I can resume this, I figure I'd post the results of the original nomination voting that I intended to contrast with the elimination bracket results.

All other nominations only recieved a single vote and were narrowed down at random to the amount needed for the brackets. Still, this is an interesting look at our prefs here (an admittedly small segment of the fanbase).
