ENTER: Cowards TV/Media AV CONTEST

[JiNX-01]

The Fonz and I would like to thank you again for the votes!

Our next contest is Cowards, characters you just know won't come through in a crisis.

As usual, SciFi and Fantasy entries do NOT count.

Now I can only hope I can come up with an entry.

ETA: Found one...

Major Frank Burns, MASH 4077

 

[auntiehill]

George Constanza, "Seinfeld."

 

[Aragorn]

Charles Logan, 24 -- but he was only a coward in season four and the first half of season five... before he suddenly became a completely different character for the sake of a plot twist that was a complete contradiction (for both plot and character) of everything that came before it.

 

[Lonemagpie]

I'll go for the obvious...

Flash, ahhhhh, he'll save-

bloody none of us!

Flashman!

 

[Evil Twin]

Or how about:

"Buster, thank God you're back! There's no shame in being a coward."
"A coward? I'm not a coward. Would a coward have THIS!"
"What the hell is that?"
"These are my awards, mother. From Army."

 

[auntiehill]

Major Frank Burns, MASH 4077

This is my favorite so far.

Why in the HELL didn't I think of that??

I had a great idea for this contest, but couldn't find or cap a suitable pic. Here's my second choice. If I somehow get a good shot of the first character I had in the meantime, I may change back to that. But here's the current entry:

^Don't forget to resize that.

 

[ToddPence]

I've tried. I don't know what's going on, but I can't resize the goddamn thing.

 

[Aragorn]

ToddPence, just upload it as your TrekBBS avatar and it'll be resized.

 

[ToddPence]

Thanks. It wouldn't work in either photobucket or in the preview window here. It usually works in photobucket.

Here we go:

 

[auntiehill]

Photobucket does have a tendency to spaz out once in awhile.

Wouldn't Scooby Doo count as scifi/fantasy, though?

They chased monsters & ghosts, and the dog talked...

'cause ya were so focussed on Costanza! Can't Stand YAAAAA!!!

 

[ToddPence]

Wouldn't M*A*S*H coun't as sci-fi and fantasy since it took place in an alternate universe where the Korean War lasted eleven years?

Remember, the "ghosts" in Scooby Doo always turned out to be a guy in a mask.

 

[Aragorn]

Plus the dogs aren't really talking anyway -- it's just that the gang is so stoned they think that Scooby and Scrappy talk.

We're not that strict around here.

IIRC, the monsters and ghosts always turned out to be criminals in costumes. As for the show itself, don't we treat cartoon series as distinguished from SF&F?

Any disputes on that?

Dude, harsh...

Not always...didn't they do that thing where it was a mix of an actual ghost & the guy in the mask? And don't forget, they crossed over with Batman!

I'm cool with it if JiNX is, its her contest to run.

I already ruled.

ETA: I'll be putting up the voting thread late Friday evening.
