Yesterday was a strong showing from Castle, which continues to show why it may just have a chance of going all the way in this years competition. To do so, it must first do battle with Buffy the Vampire Slayer in the next round, as the Joss Whedon hit beat Alias comfortably.
In what is the final day of a slightly longer than expected Round two, we have the remake of Hawaii 5-0, a very popular hit for CBS, taking on the BBC's current massive hit in Sherlock. It's tough to call, but with Sherlock taking out Dexter in round one, it's seems likely the 5-0's face a tough battle today. We also have the hit show LOST taking on the cancelled-before-its-time Moonlight, which managed to beat The Sopranos in round one and show its strength on STV. It should make for an interesting day to say the least.
If you want to see the draw for the rest of the competition, and see which show will take on which other show then head HERE for a look.

Sherlock & LOST for me. Very easy, two of the best shows of the past 10/15 years :)
ReplyDeletefirst poll easy choice ..HAWAII..MMMM ...the second for support moonlight the winner will be .//.LOST.//.
ReplyDeleteH50 and Lost!
ReplyDeleteHawaii 5-0 and lost. The only shows from today that I've seen.
ReplyDeleteOf the few episodes I saw of Hawaii 5-0 I didn't mind it and lost is, well, it's lost. Always will be one of the most incredible shows on television
Sherlock and Lost.
ReplyDeleteEasy choice today - I'm infatuated with Hawaii Five-O and you'll never see me vote against Lost unless it's up against the X-Files.
ReplyDeleteSherlock definitely. :D
ReplyDeleteNothing can beat Hawaii 5-0, so that was easy. Never seen either of the other two.
ReplyDeleteSherlock! No question!
ReplyDeleteI don't like Lost, and I have never watched Moonlight before, so neither shows for me
Today was a tough pick for me because I love all the choice's but I had to go with Sherlock and Lost...
ReplyDeleteSherlock and LOST today... honestly, I expected the second poll to be a bloodbath, but at the moment Moonlight is holding its own. Still, I don't think it's a contest.
ReplyDeleteLost of course :)
ReplyDeleteLost!! Still miss this brilliant show. It had everything, great cast, great plot. There is no other show like it.
ReplyDeleteVoted for H5O in the first poll, but I´m not a big fan.
Sherlock. I like Hawaii 5-0, but Sherlock is one of my the favorite Tv Series.
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Moonlight as I never watched LOST!
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Lost. I can't quite get into Hawaii 5-0, though I keep trying.
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Moonlight!
ReplyDeleteeasy one this time.
ReplyDeleteSherlock because its a superior show and I am sad Moffat could not bring to DR.Who that brilliance he is displaying in writing sherlock, How one man can create such a brilliant show as Sherlock and at same time ruin Doctor Who is beyond me. So voting Sherlock.
In the second, while Moonlight was fracking fantastic and undeservedly got canned, LOSt was and is one of the best genre shows in last decade or so. So, LOST.
Definitely Sherlock!!! And Moonlight!
ReplyDeleteEasy choice this time: Sherlock and Lost.
ReplyDeleteNever watched Sherlock, I do love H50, so I am there for that one and I can't stand Lost and never watched Moonlight, so no voting in that poll.
ReplyDeleteHawaii Five-0!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteand Moonlight for me!
ReplyDeleteThe only two shows I've seen much of this time are LOST and Moonlight so my vote goes to Moonlight.
ReplyDeleteI like H50 but its Sherlock and Lost for me!
ReplyDeleteVery easy here, Lost and Sherlock!
ReplyDeleteSherlock & LOST of course ...
ReplyDeleteJust Lost for me today.
ReplyDeleteSherlock + LOST.
ReplyDeleteHawaii and Moonlight! Ohh and tomorrow's going to be Fringe vs Firefly? That's going to be a big battle!
ReplyDelete24 lost to BSG and BSG lost to Friends? Really?
ReplyDeleteHopefully Lost wins the final then...
whoa! the last poll is way too close for my taste! LOST, obviously and although I enjoy Hawaii Five-0, Sherlock still has the better stories.
ReplyDeleteHivemind! Gimme Five! :)
ReplyDeleteLost won't win the finale that's for sure,there are other shows that are too popular right now. It will probably come down to SPN & Castle,tho Fringe might just surprise everyone!
ReplyDeleteYes Five! ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd another Five! :)
ReplyDeletePicked Sherlock in the end. Unexpectedly a tough choice though - great drama vs a guilty pleasure and I really enjoy both.
ReplyDeleteHawaii five-0 and Moonlight!!! Very easy choice. I love Sherlock, but Hawaii is one of the best shows on tv. And Moonlight is amazing, so that was no contest! And both of the shows have Alex O'Loughlin, and he's just awesome :D
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping for Fringe if it's not going to be Lost - the show deserves to win something after all.
ReplyDeletethats so easy, Hawaii five-0 & Moonlight of course, at the moment H50 is the best show very enjoyable & the story line is getting more exciting, Moonlight was & always will be an epic vamp show...GO FIVE-0
ReplyDeleteI agree,i have been saying that for years!
ReplyDeleteJohn Noble deserves an emmy (he'll never get one unfortunately).
ReplyDeletemy two favorite TV series where moonlight and my all time favorite is hawaii five O those are my two favorite TV show of all time'
ReplyDeleteWell i have to tell ya,i holding out for John, Anna and the show itself to earn Golden Globes and or SAG Awards! If your gonna go,go big and they deserve those,even if they only get nods from GG or SAG Awards,then at least they would know how there peers feel about them....tho honestly i think they already know just how good they are.....Oh,and don't forget they could still be nominated next year for S5...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how close both of these polls are. There is no contest for me in these. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWow tough ones this time around. I had to choose Hawaii 5-O since I've never really seen Sherlock. Although, the bits I have seen it does look good.
ReplyDeleteI also chose Moonlight since I never could get into Lost. I think it's one of those shows you either love or leave.
I hate it when two of my favorites are up against each other :( but I had to go with Sherlock because it is my current obsession ;)
ReplyDeleteomg! such tough pairings! but in the end i gotta go with Sherlock & Moonlight; though honestly, i have no idea what i'll do if they both win :/
ReplyDeleteThis one is really tough. Love Sherlock and Hawaii Five-0. The only thing I could do was nitpick. I had to pick Sherlock. Much as I love Hawaii Five-0 there have been episodes where my attention wanders until about the end of act 3. Loved Moonlight but it was one of my bubble gum shows.
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Lost
Sherlock and Moonlight for me.
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Moonlight(best show Alex has been on IMHO)
ReplyDeletepuh, that was cloooose!
ReplyDeleteIt really was,now we have to get the Fringe votes in!
ReplyDeleteMoonlight wasn't given a chance it would be number one now
ReplyDeleteMoonlight and Hawaii Five-O for me. Alex O'Loughlin captures my heart in both of them.
ReplyDeletewhere...where?? Ok, found it. :))
ReplyDeleteWow those polls were ridiculously close! I voted Moonlight though I didn't really think it would win against Lost , and Hawaii 5-0!
ReplyDeleteWOAH, that was close. Alex O'Loughlin almost took both, shocked that Moonlight came that close to beating Lost.
ReplyDeleteSherlock and Hawaii 50 is like comparing a fresh delicious NY steak with a cheap greasy Chesse burger LOL. Wonderful acting in Sherlock against a shirtless guy trying too hard to be a real actor.
ReplyDeleteLost ,one of the best shows in TV. I still miss it.
Moonlight was a fantastic show in the wrong network, soporific CBS, the network for grandpa..
yeeeeey, Hawaii five-0 roles baby!!!!
ReplyDeleteLost & Havaii Five-0. Lost forever.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteyou do realize that the "shirtless guy trying too hard to be a real actor" was the main vampire in Moonlight dont you? i mean, dont get me wrong, i adore Sherlock & that's how i voted, but dont simply hate on Alex O'Loughlin before you know all the facts
ReplyDeletewhoop! too bad we lost both of those :/
ReplyDeleteYeah ;/ it was so close for both...
ReplyDeleteHawaii 5-0 !!! Love it
