honeyed chicken Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I see the last EG finished in February. The sticking point may be good topics? Here are a few that came to me yesterday: - most evil humanoid being. Or it could be evil being I'd least like to face. The downside is that I can come up with 8 or 10 fairly quickly but I doubt there's 30 or even 20. - favorite LOTR character other than Frodo or Gandalf or Aragorn. Perhaps this has been done and I'm forgetting? - best TV show with a female lead. I can think of five without trying too hard, so I think we could come up with a full list. - favorite Sean Bean death scene. There's a YT that has all of his death scenes compiled. It's like 60 scenes or something outrageous. - favorite movie in the Marvel franchise. - best movie/TV adaptation of a fantasy/scifi book. If anybody needs/wants to see the elimination game rules, let me know and I'll dig them up and run them in a subsequent post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BlackBear Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I'm cool with doing a LotR one. I think best debut album might be a good one for consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhaenysBee Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Lotr (though aragorn should really be included) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HexMachina Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Most loathsome villain/antagonist (more or less what you said in your first suggestion really) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the last debut album I noticed was back in the '80's. 55 minutes ago, RhaenysBee said: Lotr (though aragorn should really be included) Sure. I mean, we could include all of the characters, but it would seem to me to be too predictable (that it would come down to Frodo v. Gandalf) - but I've been waaaaay wrong on these things before. 22 minutes ago, HelenaExMachina said: Most loathsome villain/antagonist (more or less what you said in your first suggestion really) I considered that, but figured we might have done something along those lines in the past? I would certainly enjoy it if we took all the biggest villains from scifi/fantasy/comic books etc. That's where I'll put my vote. - LOTR character; 3 - most loathsome villain/antagonist: 2 - Sean Bean death scenes: 1 - best debut album: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the loathsome villain/antagonist was a good one because it’s a broad category that could include non-SF/F characters, of which there are an abundance of despicable ones. I have my nomination in mind already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annara Snow Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Best TV show with a female lead. There are lots of those, some of which are among my all-time favorite shows, so we should be able to come up with a pretty long list. The one with evil humanoid beings is a bit vague, what does that mean? Does it include humans? In that case, that would be too broad. The Sean Bean death scene one just screams "let's get spoiled on a bunch of movies and shows that aren't LOTR or GoT!" (Incidentally, 4 out of the 5 roles of his I can think off the top of my head that aren't LOTR or GoT are roles where he does not die.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Incidentally, TV shows with a female lead I can think of off the top of my head, whether I like them or not: Buffy the Vampire Slayer (aka best show ever) Jessica Jones Agent Carter Veronica Mars Xena the Warrior Princess Prime Suspect (the original, UK one, with Helen Mirren) The Good Place Dietland Sharp Objects Supergirl (not a fan though... CW DC shows are generally blah) Damages Weeds Murphy Brown (here's an older one) Cagney and Lacey (ditto) Silent Witness (that one actually change their leads, but both were female) iZombie Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (haven't seen that one) Wynonna Earp (haven't seen that one either) Jane the Virgin (that one neither) Ugly Betty (blah) Desperate Housewives (giant blah) Fringe Sanctuary Blindspot Lost Girl (seen a bit of it, it was so-so) I could probably come up with a bunch of others if I thought about it for a bit more.

The BlackBear Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Sabrina, the Teenage Witch Golden Girls, Orange is the New Black (do Leads count?) True Blood (The books are more Sookie focused) Alias Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annara Snow Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 some more: My So-Called Life (I loved that show, how did I forget about it) Homeland Revenge La Femme Nikita Nikita (those are two different shows) Orphan Black Felicity (I must have repressed my memories of that show - boy, did that go bad) Timeless (haven't seen it, but it seems to have a big fandom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damages and Cagney and Lacey also have multiple (well, just 2) leads. Also, in the same vein, GLOW. ETA: more: The Handmaid's Tale Big Little Lies Dollhouse (another show I loved) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Outlander (though the male lead is pretty much the deuteragonist of almost the same importance, so I don't know it it counts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured if I who watch almost no TV at all could come up with five without trying - the more TV savvy could come up with many. Here's the five (plus one) I had: - I Love Lucy: The Lucille Ball Show - Bewitched (the original with Elizabeth Montgomery) - The Good Wife - One Day at a Time - Buffy (mentioned previously) - I Dream of Jeannie (I'm seriously dating myself with these) As to the villains topic, to me that means guys like Sauron, Voldemort, The Wicked Witch of the West, the Joker, and so on. I love your sig line, Annara. It's perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
