[Orac]

I octovoted.

 

[auntiehill]

Voted, but my original vote was better.

I'd like to say that there were some really well edited Avatars this time around. Looking at them all together is pretty impressive. Well done to everyone! And my votes represent an adaptation of my original idea.

 

[Nerys Myk]

My vote is based on a novel that was adapted from a TV show that was inspired by a comic book.

 

[Avro Arrow]

I wrote the book on voting. Then someone made a movie about it.

We have a four way tie after nine votes. I'd love to see a couple more people choose some of the avatars to hopefully give us a leader.

 

[JD]

My votes for this poll are very loosely based on my votes from the last poll.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

Voted.


For the record, the avatar for The Andromeda Strain is not from the 1971 film.

 

[Nerys Myk]

Had no idea what "Shining Girls" was. Looked it up. Very high concept.
