Does anyone else find themselves wishing that their choices are not voted off so they don't have to come up with a replacement?

Yes.... I practically grinning when I didn't see Hathor in my list.

Yep! Too difficult to decide!!!
I will have to find some time to list all the eps in order, and then stick to my list (that is, squeeze my brain only once....) But I fear that will be at the end of the tourney....

I copy Celcius list at the first page, and made into a Word-file, every eps that I vote, I change the color of the font into red, every eps that get kick-out I delete from my file.
I do the same with The Worst Eps Tourney, that list is so much shorter now, while this one is still depressingly long

[L-JADE]

Crystal Skull ; The Tomb ; Frozen ; Politics

This is much more difficult than I thought!!! Wonder if out of ignorance i am just missing the point -- would love anyones feedback on any eps that they see the point that i have apparently missed!!

IMO, and this is really my personal opinion.... those 4 titles do really reflect what the episode is all about, not really original or great, but it is STATING what's inside the episode, therefore personally, I wouldn't vote for them yet.

Although it really is subjective. Let me try to explain some of my choice.
I personally don't like Urgo and other eps that using name, like Celcius said, all those snake' names without the actual word "SERPENT" in it is baaaddd...

WATERGATE, like someone said.. it's not good to link a sci-fi eps with a national scandal
MEMENTO remind me so much of the movie (which is great, IMO) while the episode is kinda MEH! for me

COR-AI... since we're talking goa'uld talk here, I thought the name should be Cor'ai .. so.. *kick the episode*

ETHON... it's a waste of a good Greek-tragedy name, the episode is NOT about Prometheus being destroyed from inside, it's a few minutes about Prometheus being blown-up, why not used, say ... Prometheus Unsaved on that note, Prometheus Unbound is kinda good in title, relatively, although in story in another matter

Those above is what I thought when I choose them, of course after analysing (seriuosly ) some 30 episode titles, I got a headache and just click on whatever I fancy and be damned with fairness ... so ... don't mind me

aintright - I believe that "Red Sky" is taken from "Red sky at night, shepard's delight; red sky in the morning, shephard's warning" which is reference to forecasting the weather. I suppose SG-1 are the metaphorical shephards in the episode.

Affinity is gone! Universally hated as an episode and universally hated as a title, Affinity just can't win. Except maybe the worst episode tournament.

I love Celsius' comments about the episodes after they've been "evicted". It's kind of like a final punch to the kidney...
