Round 1 is done, the votes are tallied

Apologies to the following people, who, for various reasons, did not have their votes counted. Please correct these errors in your future posts so I can count your votes in future rounds:

astrogeologist, the rules are that you must vote for 8 separate episodes; you can't vote for an episode more than once. Apologies if my proposed rule change is what caused the confusion, or if it was just an error.
pittsburghgirl, Affinity is a season 8 episode, and in this tournament, only seasons 1-7 are eligible. Also, I need exactly 8 votes, and there were only seven.
sclairef99, your wording indicated that you were voting for your favorite episodes. FYI, this tournament works like Survivor - you vote for your least favorite episodes (the episodes you most want to see eliminated from the list) - and do that each day until only two episodes remains on the list. HTH, and sorry about the confusion. Also, I need 8 votes - there were only 7 listed.
Oma-1, (same as above - I need 8 votes).

Sorry, guys, but it's kind of necessary to do it this way.

FYI, after much feedback (Thanks! ), it's pretty clear the consensus is that changing the rules would be a bad thing. So, the rules remain as is - you must cast your votes for however many (currently, 8) separate episodes.
