Easily Zenith

Happy to see Zenith go through to the next round but for I'm giving child-me the deciding vote here.

Harry Twenty

Absolutely love Harry 20, but it's Zenith all day long.

Funt Solo · 01 February, 2022, 02:41:55 PM

Of course Zenith's not about Zenith! Harry Twenty is fun and all, but the dark gods in Zenith have the benefit of actually being dark. "Oh dear, I think I broke him!"

Zenith

Zenith

(What was the joke behind 'Genghis Eighteen'?)

I'd be happy with either going through and shall decline to try to decide - I think a case could be made that they're the greatest works of all creators involved (script and art droids included). I'm being as non-committal as possible here

Zenith - I thought we had his mother's eyes.

The Mind of Wolfie Smith · 02 February, 2022, 12:02:39 AM

this is truly horrible.

one of the two or three most thought-provoking and elegantly written thrills that has ever graced the prog.

against gfd at his stupendously, dreadfully, wordplaying punning worst/best, along with the apprenticeship of the truly great alan davis - in a thrill that was so absurdly exciting that i would wish the week away, hungry for the next episode.

och, nostalgia wins in extra time.
harry twenty.

Did not know this at the time, but it appears that Genghis is a brand of drum kit bits, including an 18 inch crash cymbal.
Not quite in the same league of recognisability as Root 66 or the Big Red 1, but maybe it's funnier if you have that drum kit at home?

Ah. It's cool to be niche, I guess.

Exactly my thoughts (though I voted Zenith)

Zenith had so many holy shit moments it deserves to reach the final, and hopefully will.

Ohhh bold call, and one I know some others will agree with. I have a list in my head of thrills that could and should reach the Quarter Finals. Its about 15 thrills long for the 8 places available (it varies as I've never bothered to right it down!) - its going to get mercilessly tough.

I do have a prediction for the final IF (and its a blooming big if) the draw doesn't make it happen beforehand. I should write it down in a sealed envelop to see what happens!

You should definitely do that.
Maybe PM it to a trustworthy Forum user (* if / when Tordelback returns).

Just remember that The Killing defied your expectations.
