Valid Posts this Round: 57 - the most valid responses to date!

Interestingly enough, it's been 24 rounds and 26 episodes eliminated, and not a single one is from Season 4.

That's it! Now, everybody vote again for the next round! (Initial post with current standings and episodes remaining)

My votes and opinions:
Metamorphosis
Message in a Bottle
Red Sky
Beneath the Surface
Desperate Measures
Prophecy
The Broca Divide
Fallout

Changed my mind about a number of the lower-ranked eps. On further consideration, 1969 was better than many other eps that I'd previously ranked higher.

Also, I moved Fallout into the list, partly because I remembered more about why I didn't like it, and partly because that ep is annoying me as the person running this tournament. Since, of course, every single time somebody has voted for Fallout, I've accidentally entered Fallen into the database, then had to go back and change it.

*grumbles* Just so you guys know (in case you don't all know already), if either Absolute Power or The Changeling gets voted off in the first 75 rounds, I'm going to be very upset. Those two are in my top 15 for a reason. I'll be happy to go into the reasons in great detail if anybody is curious...

Well, if "The Light" had been voted off long ago (like it should have been) ...

Did I mention how much I like ties? Two gone for the price of one! Actually, almost all of my take-'em-away-forever-eps have hit the skids already. I'm still puzzled as to why Seth is still on the big list, though. I think NOW is the time for this episode to just go away. It's been here WAAAY too long.
