The number of posts keeps shrinking. I'm hoping this is because people are just preoccupied with the latest eps (whatever they were - sometimes I really resent not being able to afford cable), and not because of anything I said or did, or because of diminishing interest. I'd gotten kind of spoiled with the 50+ valid posts that we'd had in the last 8 or so rounds.

So if you haven't yet voted for round 42, I'm going to give it another few hours

And as long as I'm posting:
flynn1959: Welcome to the tournament. FYI, Grace is already gone - if you catch this and edit your post to change that vote before I do the final tally, then I should catch it and I'd be able to count your post.

Qtyled: Welcome back FYI, the following things need to be fixed before I can count your post: Family and Momento are both already gone, and Frozen can only be voted for once

Thanks!

It's nothing you have done. I've noticed the number of people posting is down, across the board. Many "regulars" aren't here, so it might just be the time of year, vacations, etc.

You, as always, are great!

Round 42 is done, the votes are tallied

Again, welcome to the new people!

Thanks, Lida. I hope that's true...

Frostfox: Don't worry about it. Seriously, it makes no difference to me whatsoever. I never even notice when/if you'd changed your votes from the last round, because all eight are entered into the database each time anyway. The only thing I ever notice is if something is wrong. So no need to worry about making it easier.

As always, apologies to those who didn't get their votes counted:

flynn1959: Welcome to the tournament. FYI, Grace is already gone - if you change this, then I should catch it and I'd be able to count your posts in future rounds.

Qtyled: Welcome back. FYI, the following things need to be fixed before I can count your post in the next round(s): Family and Momento are both already gone, and Frozen can only be voted for once.

What?! Show and Tell before Watergate? Man, I sound like a whiner! I liked Show and Tell. I know tptb revisited Charlie's death several times, but I think with each time, Jack experienced a little more healing and came to terms with his feelings and the accident. And with each time, he was able to help someone(thing?) else. I liked the idea of the Retou and wouldn't be at all sorry to see them again. I liked the actor playing the part of Charlie and felt he was just perfect for the part. *sigh* So many of my favorites are being voted out and the ones I really can't stand are far down on the list. Oh well, that's the nature of the beast!

Round 43:

The Nox
Hathor
Holiday
Urgo
Watergate
The Tomb
Prometheus
Nemesis

Katerine, this thread is my favorite on the Gateworld Forum. I think I've missed only two rounds (maybe three) since it began. I love reading everything you have to say, even if I disagree (um, The Other Side, The Light). You always have such thought-provoking things to say and help me take a better look at many episodes. I really enjoy reading everyone's comments and getting a feel for why certain episodes are so despised or so beloved. Many, many thanks for the time and effort you put into this thread!
