It's the game seven of the Stanley Cup of the Heroes Poll!!
This thing's nearly done, so I'm just gonna knock this round down: you guys beat Sherlock Holmes out of the ring. W-hell. Fine then. If you must. Actually, besides doing this whole damn thing so that Atticus Finch could win, I would have seen Mr Holmes in the top spot. The guy is an irredeemable asshole who cares for no one, and I love him for it. Actually, what makes him a hero is his dedication to a case, to the extent that he risks physical harm, degrading his health (not eating, thinking a problem is worthy of three pipes), and of extracting himself from life for three years.
In a related note, I finally read the entirety of A Study in Emerald and I adored it. Combining HP Lovecraft and Sherlock Holmes is possibly the stupidest idea in the universe (lol, bad crossover fic, etc), but that world of insanity to which Cthulhu and his ilk belong was made to be the truth of the logical world of Sherlock Holmes, so it worked (if loosely...). At any rate, give me an ending I like and I will adore your story forever. So, I can forgive the horrorface I had originally had at the premise (and at the first bit I had originally read). But, seriously, the story gets both worlds and Gaiman writes them well, so it's worth the half-hour it takes to read.
Was I doing something? Oh, yes, our top two. It's come down to The Doctor and the Snape. The man of belonging in a universe he's alone in and the man who's alone in the two worlds he's a part of. Anyhoo, on to the convincing arguements on why you should vote for one and not the other...
One is from the book series that owns my childhood, one is from the show that owns my Saturday nights (and not gonna lie, my ears when I'm all by myself, just in case I happen to hear some vworping. That said, I also checked the mailbox everyday for forever, because I was 10 when I started reading Harry Potter and I was sure my letter was just waylaid.). Yup, nerd.
At any rate, in vote-off show fashion, I'm now going to COMPLETELY REVERSE how this poll works and demand that you vote for the winner, not for the loser. If you do not vote for the person who you wish to win, then the other person will. So vote carefully.
Today's hero is...
Dr Stephen T Colbert, DFA. This man is the one reason I am willing to stay up until 1 in the morning, ever. I'm kinda really in love with the dude. He's a total sweetheart, and his character is spot-on in terms of ridiculous punditry. Plus, he filmed two episodes in Vancouver, so he's always got a spot in my heart. I really hope the world doesn't end on Saturday - which Colbert has informed me is inevitable - as I'm not quite done watching his show :P
