A series has been tossed out of consideration due to bad behavior. If it happens again I will simply select a series and be done with it.

Voting Rome, since Frigid won't allow a write in vote.

Voted Rome, but the idea of losing to Farscape isn't exactly a painful proposition.

Oh, so that's where all those mysterious Dark Angel votes came from! I wonder who would do such a thing. It's kind of lame for... well anything really.

Anyway, to promote transparency, I once again vote Rome.

Voted for Rome.

Also: Tampering with a poll is a really shitty thing to do.

I wondered were the sudden enthusiasm for Dark Angel came from. Also, Farscape.

Farscape from me. I've never watched Rome.

I feel this thread would benefit from some video evidence as to why Farscape is beyond awesome:

Farscape is beyond awesome. I'm going Rome for two reasons:

1) It's a shorter series and thus is actually likely to be completed.

2) I've already talked Farscape with frigid. I haven't talked Rome with him, so I'll get more out of him reviewing Farscape.

That Rome is awesome need not be said, but for those slow on the uptake:

Titus fucking Pullo!

i however haven't talked to frigid about farscape so i'd like to see him review it

if he does rome instead then so be it, but the way i figure it if he does one review a day then rome would be done in less than a month; what's he going to review afterwards? (i thought this was supposed to last him several months)

besides those videos are kickin' rad

I voted Rome because Titus Pullo. Farscape was pretty good, but sorely lacking in the Titus Pullo department.

I voted Rome because it's fucking Rome. That's the end of the discussion as far as I can see.

Farscape, of course. This way we get both. Rome is short enough to be easily done, but Farscape has so many episodes he might not finish even if it goes first. He will, however, get stuck pretty deep in and might finish anyway.
