You can vote for 4 RandyS. Sorry, I should have put that with the entries as well as beside the "view poll results"!

... dissapointed that ENTERPRISE was the only Star Trek show to make the cut.

Speakin' just for myself, I don't miss Trek as much as I probably should.

TOS got the animated series, which I watched for the first time a couple of years ago, six movies and a reboot.

TNG had a nice endin' after a not so good final season, plus four movies, only two of which were really good.

DS9 had a perfect endin', and a great series of post-finale novels.

I stopped VOY regularly before it even ended.

And ENT just wasn't that good to begin with.

And they do all have books that tell stories within, before & after their shows aired, so if I'm in the mood, I can find a story to enjoy with characters I like.

I decided to go with Quantum Leap 'cause it is my favorite non-Trek scifi, and if there were a revival of the series of some kind, I'd be right there watchin' it. I used to have all the tie-in novels, just over a dozen of 'em, and have written ideas and bad fan fic about how the series could be brought back with Scott Bakula as a recurrin' guest star & Dean Stockwell as an occasional special guest star while shiftin' the focus to Sammy Jo Fuller, Sam's daughter, and Al & Beth's oldest daughter from the altered history of the series finale.

And also 'cause auntiehill thought it would be a good idea.

It would be nice if the opening post stated how many votes we are allowed, but I went by the usual habit and by what the people in the thread said and voted for 4.

The post listing the entries, lists the entries.

The poll lets you vote:

I know because I was looking for that number

I'm not surprised Firefly is trouncing us.

I'm just happy that Enterprise is in second place (so far).

FPAlpha · January 27 2013, 08:35 PM

Quite honestly it's only Firefly and Quantum Leap i truly miss.

Galactica turned slowly to crap after the stellar first season, Enterprise was mostly crap for its entire run (despite the good cast) and the rest i either haven't seen or they had satifactory endings (i actually liked the ending of Angel).

I'm a bit confused here: Do you vote for the show you miss most or for the best execution of the task to make an avatar about a show you miss?

auntiehill · January 27 2013, 10:22 PM

^that's really up to the voter, I think.

trekkiedane · January 27 2013, 10:33 PM

^Ah!

Doesn't make sense to me -but now this thread does

DevilEyes · January 28 2013, 12:04 AM

My first criterion is always how good the avatar is. Then, if I have to choose between several good ones, personal preference/love for the show/movie/character comes in as the second criterion. I've voted for some avatars in the past because they looked amazing, even if I didn't know the show or movie or comic book character in it at all.

trekkiedane · January 28 2013, 12:12 AM

I often find that I don't know the subject of an avatar -or even: that I don't like it

Maybe that's why I always try to vote for entries that are well made pieces of graphic art rather than entries with cute animals or naked women...

od0_ital · January 28 2013, 04:55 AM

Damn, my entry is down to fourth place...

Shanndee · January 28 2013, 07:01 AM

Well, it seems that Firefly has run away with this particular vote! Congratulations auntiehill!

It is nice to see Enterprise and BSG with strong showings as well. Congrats to JiNX-01 and Aragorn for their strong placings!

What will the next contest be auntiehill?

auntiehill · January 28 2013, 04:56 PM

Thanks for the votes, gang. I'll try to get a new contest up soon.
