March Madness

I made a campaign comment for Caroline Forbes. VOTE FOR HER!!! Her series supports blood banks! Also, watch Run Fast by gigglemonster. Caroline is victimized but then stands up and faces the day and is awesome.

Brian Kinney of Queer as Folk (USA) is up against Sidney Bristow of Alias. I have never seen her show, though I've heard awesome things about

Troy and Abed would vote for Mal, but Alec Hardison would vote for all incarnations of the Doctor ever. /Leverage

Life is full of tough choices.

(P.S. I THINK YOU WOULD ENJOY AMY POND AND RIVER SONG. I am just saying.)

[streussal]

Yeah, X character would vote for Y is a pretty silly arguement, unless it's a reason why we should vote for X! Like Troy and Abed are hilariously into Firefly, therefore you should vote for Troy!

(I think I would like them too! I also think I would like Eleven. I just haven't watched their show yet. And therefore, Mal. Hypothetical love only wins if it is immense and the other person is only at like.)

Hardison uses Doctor Who trivia for team aliases AND demonstrates his shipping preferences for both Classic!Who and Leverage with them, which is an admirable feat of multitasking and lolarity. Also, one time Hardison missed a team mission because he was up late playing World of Warcraft. I mention this as a character reference.

(I am sitting out on voting because a) I am lazy and b) I am still a little steamed that the Doctor Who votes all went to the Doctor vs. Doctor fight with little left over for my other favourites.)

(BUT YOU SHOULD WATCH DOCTOR WHO. Series five is 13 episodes.)

I am still a little steamed that the Doctor Who votes all went to the Doctor vs. Doctor fight with little left over for my other favourites.

I originally voted for Donna because I've heard a lot about her, plus I saw half an episode the other week and she was awesome. But then Ten was going to win if Eleven didn't, so I switched. I think a lot of people did. (I know a lot of people have good reasons to be mad at 10, and also there'd be a lot negativity in the campaigning if he won...)

(I will get around to it at some point!)

If Eleven had ever fallen behind, and if I had already voted, I probably would have voted for him too. But pitting different incarnations of the same character against each other is just. :/

(And then after that, you should watch The Sarah Jane Adventures. You don't need to know a thing about the Doctor Who series that ran concurrently with earlier SJA to enjoy it!)

Now he's against Dana Scully. I barely remember the X-Files, but mom was a huge fan so I had to vote for her. Plus you know, groundbreaking character, etc.

(Not needing to know other things is a good incentive. The Whoniverse is so big!)

[silverfyshxin]

Like I said to Kate, I totally understand voting Scully. And also, in a cage match between a dude and a lady, my sympathies are more likely to fall in her favour. And it's much more of a fair fight than the person they have going up against Sherlock. I just glanced at that and had to immediately wince.

[streussal]

Haha, yeah.

To be fair, I think the brackets were set up with the idea of pitting the person with the most votes against the least votes, second most against second least, etc. So that extremely popular characters/fandoms aren't eliminated in the first round because they ended up against the one person more popular then them. (This is how it generally works in sports tournaments.)

But that's the first round, I'm not sure how it works after that.
