DAY 15! (Results from yesterday can be found here.)
Hey all,
First of all, apologies for the delay between Day 14's polls closing and today's polls going live. Unfortunately I cannot schedule in these polls when I don't yet know half of the competitors. There will be another slight delay (albeit hopefully much shorter) between the quarter-finals ending and the semi-finals ending, and likewise with the semi-finals to the final. Please be patient during this short time - I will be working as quickly as I can.
I've said time and again that this competition - much like every other competition run on SpoilerTV - is completely unpredictable. That was clear yesterday as Agent Carter's 'Snafu' took out Arrow's much loved episode 'The Fallen'. Suffice it to say, I was left stunned that the Arrow fanbase had been beaten this early in the competition, by a competitor that I had considered to be a perhaps very outside contender at best for the competition. Now? Who knows. Anything can happen in these polls, and it's up to the fans to keep spreading the word on social media to get as many fellow fans as possible to vote. With only three days left, and eight competitors remaining, I can see all seven remaining polls going right down to the final minutes, so it's essential that you get the word out if you want your episode to win. Your vote could be the difference.
Four seeds remain - one in each quarter-final, which is pretty nice. Six shows still stand; all six have large, loyal fanbases. This is set to be dramatic.
The rules are as follows:
1. Two episodes go head to head for 24 hours. The episode that emerges as winner will go through to the next round.
2. Vote for your favourite episode, and tell us what you voted for.
3. Tell others about the competition! Social media is your best friend in this competition if you want your favourite episode to win.
4. Be respectful. This is a competition, but be friendly. Let's not have any abuse directed at any person, fandom or show, as we've had on occasion in the past.
Before we head into the quarter-finals themselves, please vote in this poll regarding the results for the final of the competition. This poll will remain open for around 48 hours and will be reposted in tomorrow's semi-final post.
The draw:
Don’t forget to share the post; the more people vote, the more chance your episode has of winning!
Check back tomorrow for the semi-finals!

Person of interest x 2
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest twice. I'd have probably abstained from the last poll but since Agent Carter beat Arrow yesterday, it's got the edge for me so I've voted for it. But, if The 100 wins, I will be quite happy.
ReplyDeleteJust left rooting for The 100 now :)
ReplyDeleteJust Person of Interest - YHWH. It was brilliant and is the best season finale of POI.
ReplyDeleteThere's also If-Then-Else!
ReplyDeleteWell, this is going to be really hard for POI this round. Outlander and Castle have great fanbases. Hopefully at least one of our episodes will make it!
ReplyDeleteArrow, Person of Interest x2 and The 100 for me.
ReplyDeleteThis quarter finals is going to be intense, I'm already biting my nails in anticipation lol:
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest - YHWH and If-Then-Else.
The 100 - Blood Must Have Blood Part 2
POI / POI / I was torn between The 100 and Agent Carter, but I'm gonna go with Carter.
ReplyDeleteI loved AC's Snafu but The100 had that gamechanger which really changed the show for forever.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Arrow just to keep it in the game. We can't do this competition without an Arrowverse show.
Person of Interest x2
ReplyDeleteTwice Person of Interest, I simply love both episodes. Also voting for The 100 but not participating on the Arrow - Outlander one. I didn't really like Arrow's finale but since I don't watch Outlander, I abstain from that one
ReplyDeletePOI, twice.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest x2! Go get it, POI, you incredible show, you!
ReplyDeleteVoted for Person of Interest twice today! Happy day!
ReplyDeleteIf-Then-Else and YHWH no shocker on the home front.
ReplyDeleteIf-Then-Else and YHWH no shocker on the home front here.
ReplyDeleteBig fan of both Agent Carter and the 100 but I chose the 100. However, I'll be fine with whoever wins.
ReplyDeleteAs for POI/Outlander, well... I quite enjoyed Outlander but it's nowhere near my level of adoration for POI, so that choice was easy. And since I don't watch Castle...
Person of Interest YHWH and If-Then-Else.
ReplyDeleteC'mon POI, i would like to see YHWH vs If-Then-Else in the finale!
I voted to not see the results of the final! I think it would be more fun for it to be suspenseful!
ReplyDeleteSnafu all the way!!!!!
ReplyDeleteArrow and Castle. Haven't seen both the 100 and Agent Carter's episodes yet so I can't choose one.
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter gets my enthusiastic vote and then Outlander - The Wedding.
ReplyDeleteOh this is gonna be exciting. I'm rooting hard for POI!
ReplyDeletehttp://33.media.tumblr.com/1e1b99fb76c06ca9374f052de34db519/tumblr_nny19q7Fs41qk0j55o1_250.gif
My sentiments exactly! It would be a lot more fun that way while also keeping everyone on their toes during the finals haha.
ReplyDeleteJust The 100! I guess there will be some close battles today, although it currently seems that Castle and Outlander fans haven't woken up yet.
ReplyDeleteArrow, Person of Interest x 2, and The 100.
ReplyDeleteI miss Martine. I mean, I hated her but it was so fun to hate her. She was great in If-Then-Else; I wanted so badly for Shaw to shoot her at least once!
ReplyDeleteDedicating my votes this round to the Machine.
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite POI villains, the Blonde Typhoon as i called her. The perfect foil for Root and Shaw.
ReplyDeleteThe 100!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty Shaw it already is exciting. :P
ReplyDeleteA moment of silence of silence for the blonde typhoon.
ReplyDeleteArrow - I don't care what people thought of this episode. I loved "My NAME is Oliver Queen" It's the little things that make me happy.
ReplyDeleteN/A
N/A
The 100 even though it wasn't my favorite episode or AC, Peggy and Jarvis. What to do.
later this year in the fall
ReplyDeleteOh okay. Then i will watch it!
ReplyDeleteSeptember/October. Seasons 1-3 already on UK Netflix, if you do that sort of thing...
ReplyDeleteThis one is going to be tight. I've chosen and I went with my love of all things Agent Carter over my love of The 100 and not so much love of the finale.
ReplyDeleteOk cool! I will Start soon. Do the have many scenes like the one above?
ReplyDeleteshow has a lot of amazing moments.
ReplyDeleteWhat, highly emotional scenes or brilliantly crafted ones? There are lots of the latter, and quite a few of the former.
ReplyDeleteI will be sad when this competition is over
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there :D
ReplyDeleteIn terms of music, there are many more great examples like that one.
ReplyDeleteCharacter Cup shortly after, and then the Favourite Series Competition after that. Then the season starts again :)
ReplyDeleteOutlander and the 100 for me
ReplyDeleteYES! You won't be disappointed. Seasons 1 and 2 are great but the real deal for me was season 3, and then of course season 4. Some episodes are outstanding and breath-taking and I guarantee you, you will cry.
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great show
ReplyDeleteseason 3 shocked me, season 4 made me move POI to all time favorite. won't regret it.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Actually season 1 was a bit too procedural for me but still better than most of the other shows out there. Season 2 was great and season 3 and 4 blew my mind.
ReplyDeleteI knew the show would get better and better. I always had faith in everyone working on POI. Season 3 did have the game changing event.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch it soon. Not as soon as next week, but soon. So tell me what you think of the ride!
ReplyDeleteI watched when it premiered until episode 5, then dropped it. People have told me it gets amazing, so I'm willing to give it a second chance.
It's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI will report ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
ReplyDeleteYou won't regret it. Absolutely become the best show on network tv (well - if you ask me, as someone who is yet to watch Hannibal). Catching up two years ago was the best choice I could have made, and it has become a bit of an obsession now lol.
ReplyDeleteto love poi you have to be down for the slow burn type of story. second half of season 2, all of season 3 and 4 are the best on tv.
ReplyDeleteYay! It does start out slow, but it gets so much better (and so soon too - episode 7 is the first really terrific episode).
ReplyDeleteDon't make me want to watch It now because i have no time!!! ;) i am Really excited
ReplyDeleteIt's a tough choice between Hannibal and POI. Both are definitely the top 2 on Network.
ReplyDeleteYou won't regret it. It's unlike any tv show. It's unique.
ReplyDeleteThis post is my go-to post when someone is interested in watching POI:
ReplyDeletehttp://blood-inthefields.tumblr.com/post/121928837431/person-of-interest-fan-videos-masterpost
It's a masterpost of fanmade videos. Now if you check them out, beware of spoilers!
I can do slow burn, it usually pays off greatly. Ask Fringe, started off with an entertaining but really outstanding first season and by episode 35 it became one of the best things arounds. It seems POI follows the same track, so I'm willing to get back on it!
ReplyDeleteWhen Hannibal goes in a couple of months time POI will be unrivalled ;)
ReplyDeleteThat Just the Beginning trailer is absolutely the best thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteHannibal better be saved by a streaming service.
ReplyDeleteIf there are spoilers, then I'll stay away from it. All I know is Amy Acker is becoming a regular and someone (won't say who to avoid spoilers) will die.
ReplyDeleteSince Amy Acker did such an amazing job on Angel, knowing she is going to be on POI is a bonus to watching it
All this love for POI in this competition just boggles my mind even more as to why CBS is holding off S5 till midseason and reducing the episode order from 15 to 13. AND possibly being the final season of the show. CBS are idiots. The POI fandom is incredible.
ReplyDeleteits often said nolan used the procedural stuff of the first season to get on the air so he could do what he really wanted to do and thats what comes in the later seasons. it makes since because cbs isn't know for shows like this one.
ReplyDeleteDo you know who Acker's character is? Hope not, you'll enjoy season 1 more if you don't know.
ReplyDeleteits all about money and playing favorites. Amazing Show, wrong network.
ReplyDeleteI remember the interview, I saw it in the showrunners documentaries. He and his crew wanted to make it serialized but were crippled by CBS. In the end they managed to win over CBS and start doing serialized stuff little by little and the show became much better.
ReplyDeleteI really came to like the crew of POI in that documentray
So does POI after season 5.
ReplyDeleteI know her name but that is all
ReplyDeleteJust her name, no details beyond that
ReplyDeleteDefinitely
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOD episode 7 YES. That was the episode that made me go OOOOOH and after that, I knew I'd be hooked to this show.
ReplyDeleteI was hooked from the first trailer. I knew I was going to love the show.
ReplyDeleteExciting! I'm nominating Root! Best character on TV right now.
ReplyDelete"Veni, vidi, vici." Awesome. Truly awesome.
ReplyDeleteThey are all amazing. Forever grateful for the great work they all do. The continuity is on point. The dialogue is great, sometimes dark, sometimes funny. Makes you reflect on things. And episodes like The Devil's Share or If-Then-Else were so well-directed they deserve awards.
ReplyDeleteThat's on Netflix, right? Been meaning to watch that for ages.
ReplyDeletehttps://youtu.be/6Nxux7KGZkg
ReplyDeleteI will watch POI definitely, but you must watch the 100 as well. Amazing Show!
That's great!
ReplyDeleteLately there's been quite some unique shows out there, is good to know there are more of those :).
Among The 100, GoT, Daredevil and The Affair (all of them vastly different and unique), I'm itching to get yet another show that is completely different from anything else! God, these are such great times to be a TV fan :D
Here's one you can watch, since it's a trailer of season 1:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0jlDfqYXjE
I agree completely; while I haven't seen POI, I can say that from what I have seen, The 100's second season is completely stellar. By far my favorite season of the 2014-2015 season, even beyond my favorites GoT, Daredevil and The Affair on the drama front.
ReplyDeleteIt also needs a bigger audience! I love the 100 and am really excited for POI
ReplyDeleteI downloaded it so I don't really know xD.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty good, and it doesn't go over the 90 minute mark so it doesn't take too much of your time. It's very interesting.
The most featured shows are: Buffy/Angel from Wheadon, POI, Fringe (a bit), LOST, House of Lies, The Good Wife, and those are just the ones I remember on the top of my head. There's a lot of shows covered.
Sounds like what Fringe did. Well, it's another Bad Robot production so, I guess it was meant to be :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look very interesting. I will get to it eventually (once I get through the ridiculous amount of other show's episodes I need to watch, lol)
ReplyDeleteLooks like some of these are going to go down to the wire. My picks Outlander: The Wedding, POI YHWH, POI- If Then Else , and Agent Carter.
ReplyDeleteI already watch The 100 ;)
ReplyDeleteSame as for POI, it took me a few episodes to truly appreciate the show. Now I love it. Not as much as POI (I don't love anything as much as I love POI) but it's still a great show!
It's all because CBS doesn't own the show, thus they can't make money out of it. POI actually had pretty good ratings.
ReplyDeletebaby Root
ReplyDeleteThe way it works out is pretty clever, as a parallel for Finch and Reese drawing more attention over time, and for the Machine's evolution.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear :)
ReplyDeleteYup, the final scene of episode 7 was the moment that made me realize that this show was NOT fucking around whatsoever. Elias is one of the most ruthless and fascinating characters around. Enrico Colantoni is phenomenal in the role. Also, that soundtrack!! POI has the best soundtrack of any show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPeAi_X8cLg
ReplyDeletePerson Of Interest's If-Then-Else was truly a television masterpiece. I can't remember getting totally blown away by a tv show since BrBa ended. I envy those who gets to watch the episode for the first time.
ReplyDeleteEpisode 4 sealed the deal for me. 'Cura te Ipsum' - great episode which threw up a lot of questions about morality and revenge.
ReplyDeleteI also like that despite the division between Bellarke/Clarke and Clarke/Lexa shippers, everyone seems to agree that Lincoln/Octavia are A+ and need to stay together.
ReplyDeleteRoot gets a lot of love, I'm so happy! But I wish people didn't forget about Shaw, who is such an underrated character. The writers are doing a great job at portraying her and her sociopathic tendencies.
ReplyDeleteLooks like I only have The 100 left in the competition so my vote goes there.Special episode. Clearly I need to start POI at some point... I love Michael Emerson & I'm pretty sure Paige Turco guests right?!
ReplyDeleteShe does indeed appear at points.
ReplyDeleteThis scene gives me chills and goosebumps, and it's been over 6 MONTHS. But watching your favorite character get gunned down in front of you while the woman who loves her watches helplessly, in slow-motion, with an awesome soundtrack, to end an already wonderful episode will do that to you.
ReplyDeleteVoted for #Outlander To Ransom a Man's Soul & #Outlanter The Wedding.
ReplyDeleteUgh why'd you have to post this scene! Very emotional. I always knew Clarke was going to end up having to kill everyone. It was obvious if you think about it. But the act in in itself & the performances by everyone really elevated the episode. People always complain how it was obvious or you know .. no battle. But I thought it was brave storytelling by the writers to do the opposite and have a very emotional&cathartic finale that will have definite trauma for everyone going into s3.
ReplyDeleteArrow losing now........if it is gone I won't vote anymore
ReplyDeleteI'll never forget about Shaw and her steak. Nolan said they had a "killer story line" for Shaw. I'm looking forward. Too bad they won't have a full season to tell the story. :(
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there with the name :D
ReplyDeleteI'd never seen that one before. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteShe does. I love her character. Wish we'd see her more often.
ReplyDeleteSame. I probably won't have anything left to vote for anyway. It's sad the amount of hate Arrow is getting lately. There are people who vote for the other show not because they like it, but to make Arrow lose.
ReplyDeleteWe all love Amy Acker and Root, but who else loves Sarah Shahi and Shaw? Look at that smile!
ReplyDeleteOf course my votes go to Person of Interest and Person of Interest!!! FTW!
ReplyDeleteI'd love if for once the final vote was kept from us until the competition was closed. But it seems most people doesn't have the patience,oh well....
I would much rather be able to continue to follow the results live. There have been so polls in which the twists and turns the race takes makes it so much more fun to watch. In addition, I legitimately think it would change the outcome. I think The Walking Dead would have taken out Outlander last week for instance had Outlander fans not realized their show was in need of votes (Then again, it could have been that TWD would have never come massively to begin with). So I would really prefer them open.
ReplyDeleteToday's votes:
- Arrow on the first. I like Outlander but that episode is not even one of my favorites to be honest. I also tend to prefer mostly every single episode of the second half of the season to those of the first half. Arrow was not a perfect finale and it was my least favorite finale out of those 3, but I still like it more.
- Person of Interest on the second. To Ransom a Man's Soul is an episode I actually love but it has to be the Person of Interest finale here, But this is truly an upset and I almost didn't vote at all
- Easily Person of Interest on the third by default (dropped Castle at the end of last season)
- I love you Agent Carter and I really promise that I wish I could support you in this competition more than I have been doing and I am really happy you made it through here, but it has to be The 100 here, I just can't bring myself not to support it here.
Outlander, Outlander, Person of Interest, and Agent Carter!
ReplyDeleteAfter you finish Game of Thrones!
ReplyDeleteThe momentum from Agent Carter is shocking me
ReplyDeleteI'm astounded. I seriously underestimated it at the start of the competition.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out you still have a horse in the race after all, Dahne! Who knew Agent Carter would bring you this far!
ReplyDeleteAmy Acker should be nominated for an outstanding supporting actress in a drama series this year, in my opinion. I was so stunned with that episode
ReplyDeleteI definitely think so to. It really killed me that poll
ReplyDeletemochof webkru. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all of Zurik's videos. They are all spectacular. I also really like the Shoot vids from Nialies. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteAmy Acker was always good on the show but what she did on Season 4 was something else entirely. She was exceptional, it was pure brilliance. It will be a sad day for television when the Emmy nominations are announced and she is left out, it will really be unfair.
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter only for me
ReplyDeleteHe was very precise when he said it ;)
ReplyDeleteI have been having major The 100 withdraws lately. I have convinced my sister to watch it and she has gone completely addicted to it but she keeps calling me saying "I can't believe they did that and that". It makes me relieve the whole thing. I miss it a lot, I with it would come back already
ReplyDeleteI am shocked and absolutely thrilled. Maybe more people will spread the word about Agent Carter.
ReplyDeleteTo me it's not about the patience but I find it fun to see things being reversed. I like keep coming back to the thread and seeing the results swapped from what they were before, all the back and forth is part of the excitement for me!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone did. And it only had 1 episode nominated!
ReplyDeleteLittle firecracker, got to love Shaw......
ReplyDeleteYes, I actually agree with that. I went with the 100 finale but it was an excruciating poll and choice for me and part of me is very happy with the agent carter momentum. I will be happy (and sad lol) regardless of the outcome of that poll, which is actually not a bad position to be at.
ReplyDeleteI love it because one moment she's all adorable and giggly and then next thing you know, she'll have you in a chokehold in 0.3 seconds. Such a badass.
ReplyDeleteI think that is because they are both equally great as themselves or as a couple and because they further the plot in a way most relationships on TV do not. Without Lincoln getting infatuated with Octavia, they could not have created ties to the grounder culture as smoothly. It took them from hostiles to temporary allies and made the grounder story so much richer.
ReplyDeleteI just rewatched Relevance last night. Still great, and I love the dynamic Shaw had with Cole.
ReplyDeleteLucky. I am not a fan of The 100 finale. If this had been any other episode (except the killer ape one) I would be voting for The 100 over Agent Carter and unhappy at having to choose. If AC goes, so do I for the competition, but The 100 will be one of the ones I will be rooting for in the Favorite Show competition.
ReplyDeleteYes, I know you are not a fan of the 100 finale although you are a big fan of the 100! In this particular case, it actually suited you better since it made your life easier
ReplyDeleteEasy choices remaining:
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest x2
Arrow
The 100
In a summer of tough poll choices (especially as we hit August), I will be very grateful for what was very easy voting for me this entire contest.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest and Person of Interest :D
ReplyDeleteI love her. She's my favorite POI lady, after Carter.
ReplyDeleteShaw is perfect. I love her so much!
ReplyDeleteLove that compact persian sociopath.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have it that easy! But I guess that is a consequence when you watch a lot of TV as I am aware I did this season
ReplyDeleteWhy it is a much better show than the 100.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is exciting but it could be done without having the votes show. You would still be able to tell how close it is by the graft,the only thing missing would be the numbers. It could even be where Bradley could post the difference between the two,how many votes one is winning as the last few hours count down... Just something different and it might add even more excitement. Who knows,worth a try.
ReplyDeletePatience wasn't the most appropriate/best word to use.
Why that is a very boring show?
ReplyDeleteSo far neither fanbase has responded but it is very early in the voting.
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter is a much superior show!
ReplyDeleteBoth episodes of Outlander plus The 100 for me today.
ReplyDeleteBoth POIs and Arrow.
ReplyDeleteWell I suppose so yeah but then we would still have the exact same information as we have now, no? I mean, I don't mind that idea you are saying of the graphs showing how close or so they are but at the end of the day, then revealing the votes wouldn't really change or add much at all, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteHm... depends... for me it's quite the opposite to boring...
ReplyDeleteTo you maybe. For me it's one of the most entertaining and thrilling shows I watch.
ReplyDeleteOutlander - The Wedding.
ReplyDeleteOutlander - To Ransom a Man's Soul (Chosen by coin flip)
The 100 - Blood must have blood part 2
POI ×2 and Arrow
ReplyDeleteThe gap isn't large and they can totally catch up. I hope they don't, of course :P
ReplyDeletePerson Of Interest and Agent Carter (still impressed it went that far, I've nominated it and even I underestimated it xD).
ReplyDeleteHardest choice to make...
ReplyDeletePerson of interest x2. (YHWH and If-then-else)
Castle and Agent Carter.
ReplyDeleteArrow. Can't vote the others.
ReplyDeleteFinally, The 100 fandom is awake and Outlander/POI gap is closing... so far so good. :) I'll check back in a few hours... Nighty night everyone!
ReplyDeleteIn order, Outlander, POI, POI and The 100 (sorry Agent Carter, next time).
ReplyDeleteLooks like this is it for me, voted Agent Carter, and Castle not looking good:(
ReplyDeleteNever could get into the 100 so that's why I voted agent Carter
ReplyDeleteLike seeing the voting totals as it goes along.
ReplyDeleteVoted for Outlander. Best show on television in every category. I especially love that it knows a strong female lead doesn't mean a weak male lead.
The gap is closing. I'm getting the word out.
My votes:
ReplyDeleteI voted "Yes - Show them to me!" on that poll.
1. Outlander - The Wedding (Sorry to Arrow)
2. Outlander - To Ransom a Man's Soul (Sorry to Person of Interest)
3. Castle - Hollander's Woods (Sorry to Person of Interest again)
4. Agent Carter - Snafu
arrow getting destroyed badly! I don't believe 2000 votes are all outlanders fan just hate arrow and hope it loses......we all know arrow is the best show on tv
ReplyDeletenAh everything i liked it's gone now.
ReplyDeletePerson of Interest x2 & The 100
ReplyDeleteNah, I won't go that far. Outlander has a very huge, and I mean HUGE, and passionate, online fandom, built over the last 20 plus years the books exist. Just compare the number of votes both episodes got. Almost equal. So no, no "hate votes" against Arrow.
ReplyDeleteVoted Outlander and The 100.
ReplyDeletePerson of interest twice
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter.
Outlander, can´t choose, Castle, none...
ReplyDeleteI think it is great....I wasn't even around in previous rounds because I was on vacation, so I am very pleased that Agent Carter even managed to beat out The Flash.
ReplyDeleteThose outlander episodes are really good, too, so they got my votes.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't bet on it. I wasn't convinced by the show either, I eventually did caught up and stick around and it was good for a while...and then I dropped it again. I guess it really depends on how much you like the main characters. I liked the side characters always better.
ReplyDeleteIt's up against Outlander and not just any episode, but "The Wedding", one of the most important episodes in the show. I don't think it has anything to do with hatred considering that Outlander is the show which pushed Castle, the "win it all" show for multiple years, off it's throne last year.
ReplyDeletePlus, The Flash was taken out by Agent Carter last round, and there is not hate against The Flash going around, is it?
I guess because the ratings were not that good, but I think a lot of people have caught up with the show by now. It will be interesting to see how it does when it comes back from hiatus.
ReplyDeleteRatings don't typically correlate well with online popularity though. Some clear examples:
ReplyDelete- the two highest rated broadcast shows of the season, Empire and The Big Bang Theory, had no nominated episodes for the competition
- Outlander and The 100 are two of the most popular shows on STV I believe and those have fractional, often 0.5 or lower ratings
- The Walking Dead is not winning the competition - it was already eliminated - and no show comes close to its level of ratings
- Person of Interest is probably taking it home and it was left out of CBS fall schedule and is probably getting canceled at the end of next season
I would love for Agent Carter to experience a severe increase in ratings next year but in reality I am not optimistic at all
And my two favourite episodes are pitted against each other.. I really, really loved 'Blood Must Have Bloot Part 2', but my vote went to 'Snafu'
ReplyDeleteGreat summary.
ReplyDeleteI always like to use NCIS as an example over the years. 20 Million+ live viewers and barely a single nomination.
Yeah that one serves as a good example as well. To be honest, I am more surprised with the way some particular shows are popular online. Castle is probably the biggest example of that. It is a procedural and and old skewing show, two things that tend to mean little online presence, yet it is immensely popular online. It is not even at its peak now, but there was a time in here in which you could not beat Castle in any poll. I guess it is due to the shipping aspect of it all.
ReplyDeleteAgent Carter or The 100. Whom to vote for. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThe weird thing is that your vote could actually make the difference, they are insanely close!
ReplyDeleteSnafu will win! I mean I hope so.
ReplyDeleteNever thought Agent Carter would get this far.
Agent Carter like many other shows in this competition has a very dedicated fanbase, I haven't checked the Tumblr tags but for other polls like the Eonline Save One Show poll the fandom really rallied together. Still I am surprised to see it beat Arrow!
ReplyDeleteJust Agent Carter for me.
ReplyDeleteOutlander (2x)
ReplyDeletePOI
Agent Carter
Person Of Interest and The 100 for me.
ReplyDeleteHow much time left before the poll closes? *glances nervously at Outlander's 41% compared to POI's 51%*
ReplyDeleteJust over 4.5 hrs to go. Closes at 22:00 GMT
ReplyDeleteI'll make sure to put in a countdown clock for the semis later today and the final tomorrow :)
ReplyDeleteI hadn't really noticed how big/dedicated the fanbase is. But as you say, it's still surprising to see it beat Arrow.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, if you hover over the episode titles once you're seeing results, you can see the total number of votes. 1.6k votes difference ;)
ReplyDeleteDon't you mean 6.5 hours?
ReplyDeleteHa damn typo. Yes 6.5 :)
ReplyDeleteArrow (I dont watch Outlander), POI 2x and The 100
ReplyDelete
