Thanks for opening up my polls, mods! Man, the first one was the hardest for me. The first three episodes are like one long episode to me and I love every part of it. Voted for 'Bags in the River' though.

Any early bets on which episode will win this?

[waltzmatildah]

HEEEE!! THIS IS HARD!!

It's interesting to see that some episodes are already starting to stand out as clear 'favourites' amongst their initial grouping.

As for overall winner, I'd have to say that I think Fly, Face Off and Box Cutter will be right up there.

I voted for Pilot from the first group because I honestly think it was the best first episode I've ever seen of any show ever and I was hooked on the series from the opening shot (which is rare).

I'm going to pimp this at my journal.

eta: also, I've moved you to unmoderated posting to make this easier.

It's easy to predict the winners of some of these mini-polls. Grilled, Peekaboo, 4 Days Out and One Minute are probably certs for the Top 16. Others are harder to call. Like tomorrow there will be a Crawl Space Vs End Times Vs Face Off poll. How do I choose between those three??

it was the best first episode I've ever seen of any show ever

It was! And then it got even better!! *marvels*

Don't forget to do a tumblr pimp if you haven't already...

[falafel_musings]

I tried...I still don't really know how to work tumblr yet. I couldn't get the link and the graphic in the same posts and it wouldn't let me add tags. :(

[waltzmatildah]

I just pimped on twitter but I'm also not very good at tumblr!!

[falafel_musings]

I'll try to do a tumblr post again today, but if I can't get tags working it's not likely to be seen by many people.

[waltzmatildah]

I did it!! I STILL HAVE NO IDEA HOWWWWW!!

[falafel_musings]

Thanks so much for the pimpage and your general crazed enthusiasm for polling, waltz. I might leave the Heats open until Tuesday or Wednesday. That way I could pimp it on the Big LJ March Madness comm when that tourney opens this week.

Heat Two is now up, BTW.

[waltzmatildah]

No problemo!! My motivation is partly selfish for I feel I'll never be able to pick a #1 episode without fandom's help!

I might leave the Heats open until Tuesday or Wednesday. Yeah, I think that's a good idea.

And I'll add the link to Heat Two to the tumblr post I made (assuming I can figure out how!)

[waltzmatildah]

I don't think I can edit the original (having just had a play with tumblr), so I'll post a whole new entry tomorrow (which will probably be better anyway - I can space the posts out that way and create more exposure) for heat two.
