Missed opportunities
In this quick update I note that the Fandom Steel Cage Match March Madness has been won by Joan Watson. That's something for such a new fandom. I'm happy with the fandom once again pushing female characters to the top. Sometimes it feel nice to be reminded it's not all about the hate.
The io'9 poll for The Greatest Sci-Fi Shows Ever! has finished the 16 stage and all Star Treks, and Doctor Who are still in the running. But with Farscape and T:TSCC gone I don't really care that much which one of them will get the final price.
The Doctor is no longer in the running in the Suvudu 2013 Cage Match. He lost to Gandalf in round 2 and now it's pretty clear Gandalf is going to win this. And the only thing I'm sad about is that Bene Gesserit are loosing to Inigo Montoya in round 3. They have the Voice. And prana-bindu training. Generally I think that the idea to use only classic characters (and movie/TV ones) was not a good one. The poll numbers are pretty low and people just don't seem so excited about it despite Gandalf and Doctor being in it. For me the best part of previous ones were the match-up descriptions written by the authors themselves. It just made everything more fun and exciting. Like official fanfiction or something. Even if it lead to poll stuffing by fans.
