Contest: ENTER SciFi/Fantasy Av Contest--Learn Something!

[auntiehill]

As we begin another school year, I thought that this week's contest should be devoted to teachers. It can be any teacher, professor, spiritual guru, trainer, etc. in any sci-fi or fantasy TV show, movie or comic. Some examples: Professor Arturo, Professor McGonagall, Merlin, Morpheus, Giles, Bobby Singer, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Ralph Hinckley, etc.

Standard av rules apply--200x200 pixels max, 1 MB max and keep it work/Google safe. The voting thread will go up on Oct. 7th, or thereabouts.

You may enter up to three avatars. Since I won the last one, I will only enter two:

My favorite teacher of all time: Indiana Jones

and the wisest teacher, Yoda.

First entry:

Second entry:

Don't think Ferris Bueller counts for the scifi fantasy genre, despite the musical number.

 

[tharpdevenport]

But neither does Indy in that film.

 

[auntiehill]

Raiders is a fantasy film. Ferris Bueller is not.

My contest, my rules.

Spock teaching at Starfleet Academy, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Seen here trying to add some verisimilitude to the Kobayashi Maru test

Spock teaching at Starfleet Academy, Star Trek (2009)
Seen here totally not experiencing irritation at Kirk beating the Kobayashi Maru test

Now we just need to have Ethan Peck's version pull a stint at Starfleet Academy!

Huh. Something must be up with my browser, as I can't see the entries of @auntiehill , @the G-man , and @Avro Arrow . Can't be the website, as auntie is using the same host over in the Threadbomb thread, and I can see those images just fine.

 

[auntiehill]

I entered Indy teaching in Raiders and Yoda.
@the G-man didn't enter anything in this thread. ??
@Avro Arrow entered Laura Roslin from BSG & Spock from TWOK & Spock from Star Trek (2009).

Yes, thank you, but I didn't explain it properly. I can't see the images anymore. I did see them the other day, but then they didn't load properly with the simple "" tag in its place.
But even that has changed now. I can see @Avro Arrow 's latest entry, the Laura Roslin one, but all the others have a postimage error graphic saying the service is busy and to try again later. So, I guess it is just a temporary problem that will fix itself.

Completely missed this thread until I was tagged in by @auntiehill

Believe it or not, I'm entering Mr. H.
(Ralph Hinkley, the Greatest American Hero)

PS. I assume the voting thread goes up in September, not November.

 

[auntiehill]

Why, whatever could you mean?

 

[the G-man]

No. 2.

Current Chief Engineer, former Star Fleet Academy Instructor, Pelia (ST:SNW)

 

[the G-man]

No. 3

The Professor, Gilligan's Island
(the show had a giant spider, jetpacks and sequels where they went into space and/or fought robot basketball players alongside the Harlem Globetrotters. That and the fact they didn't all starve to death and/or murder Gilligan, I'd say it's a fantasy show).

@the G-man , sorry, I totally mixed you up with @tharpdevenport . I don't know why my brain did that, it's not like the two of you have similar handles or avatars or anything like that. Maybe my subconscience was trying to be lazy, as your handle is way easier to remember and type than theirs.

For the record, I can see all entries again.

#3

Judge Joe Dredd; Dredd

No worries. I actually once entered a pretty similar Reagan avatar in one of the contests IIRC.
