The Fandom Wars: Round 3

August 20, 2013 by Katherine Erlikh 38 Comments

Well, we’re halfway there, folks! Third round out of five, and we’re here to shatter your heart and ask you to pick which shards you like best. It’s been peaceful enough so far, but things are about to get bloody. It’s okay, we’re in pain too, here – and only some of that pain has anything to do with the fact that GISHWHES is over and we’re now suffering from GISHWHES related PTSD. As for last round… BBC Sherlock decimated USA Psych, which, while not a surprise was a sad moment for me. Buffyverse overtook White Collar, and will be facing BBC Sherlock this round. Harry Potter continues to dominate, having taken out Teen Wolf with something like 90% of the votes. Ouch. Game of Thrones was locked in a bitter struggle with Hannibal for most of the last round, but in the end Mr Martin proved to be a more proficient killer than Mr Lecter. Cause, Game of Thrones? Everyone dies? Get it? ..oh, whatever. No one ever gets my jokes.

In the meantime, Supernatural took out Welcome to Night Vale, which is a poll that would have hurt my heart very much no matter what, because I just started listening to Night Vale and OH. MY. GOD. I am in love. Carlos and his perfect hair! …okay right, where was I? Right, right. Merlin proved to be voted superior in battle with sword-wielding juggernaut Adventure Time. Star Trek and Firefly were locked in violent and bloody combat the entire time, Firefly being a few points ahead of Star Trek the entire time; however, in the end the Trekkie fandom pulled through and Firefly got canceled out of this fandom war. Finally, on yet another cosmic front, Doctor Who decimated the Avengers, proving that “We have a Hulk” is not the solution to every battle.

Here’s what the current brackets look like:

The polls will close in exactly 72 hours! (more or less, depending on whether we remember how days of the week work following GISHWHES). Vote for your fandoms, but you can only vote once! This is to prevent cheating. If you try to cheat in favor of your team, WE WILL NOTICE AND WE WILL NOT BE OKAY WITH THAT. Want your fandom to win? Get all your friends to vote! Don’t ruin everyone’s fun please!
