Forum’s Favourite Thrill - Interceptor vs. Indigo Prime Round 2 Heat 46

[Colin YNWA]

Dear diary as we enter Week 6 of Round 2 I look at the thrills involved and count my blessing that the draw has been kind. Some slight variation in how the thrills came out and we might have had some really tough calls. As it is, some big thrills - for me - come up against decent middling thrills. I still wonder if doing this will bring me love...

Interceptor got through Round 1 with one of the lowest winning vote counts. I don't think it's necessarily as it's not massively liked. I'm just not sure it fired up much opinion. One thing you can easily say about Indigo Prime is it fires up option - will be interesting to see how far it goes, but better not make any assumptions, first up...

Only one choice: Indigo Prime

Easy one indigo prime

[Magnetica]

I have literally no memory of Interceptor but Indigo Prime is just about my least favourite "thrill".

I know there is a lot of love for it here, but I just find it impenetrable. I have tried to follow it but then it always just loses me.  Every time.

So my vote goes to Interceptor.

No contest for me as IP includes Killing Time, one of the all-time greatest stories of the last 45 years.

Indigo Prime.

I don't mind Intercepter but for this one it's got to be Indigo Prime.

[AlexF]

I mean, Interceptor is on a par or indeed better than some of those really early Indigo Primes - but it's not a patch on Killing Time or anything that came after the long hiatus.

Indigo Prime, easy win.

[I, Cosh]

Indigo Prime but only the good parts.

[NapalmKev]

Indigo Prime.

Cheers

Is there a version of reality where this vote will go any differently?
No. There is not.

Indigo Prime

Much to my surprise this one is astonishingly quiet. If there's one thing about Indigo Prime seems to do it generate option. Not here, well not yet. Still a day for that to turn around. But I will be toting up the result in the morning.

I have never read Interceptor, but it makes little difference as Indigo Prime ranks amongst my favourite thrills of all time.

Much to my surprise this one is astonishingly quiet.

I assumed that nobody would vote for Interceptor over Indigo Prime, so it wasn't worth showing up. Perhaps others didn't think it was necessary too. (But then I came here anyway to point out that having such a grotesque mismatch of thrills makes this round of the contest somewhat pointless.)

Guess it depends on what you think the point of these things are. For me its about encouraging conversation and chat. Often about thrills that don't get discussed much. The actual votes are just the construct for a fun way - well to me! - to stimulate that.

Also if you think this round is pointless (frankly its all pointless really, oh God what is the point of it all...) would you rather I just picked what was present*. We're already seen the glorious differences of opinion these ties bring out - which bring me back to the fun... again for me.
