Ha! The Battle of the Bad is practically a tie right now. I had a hard time choosing because the table!frak really ruins the rest of the flashbacks for me. I was even OK with her saying she's afraid to be forgotten, just because it showed how much they clicked that she would tell him what she was most afraid of (writer!fail on the choice of fear aside).

I'm actually rooting for the Poof to win on this one... just for pure proof that it isn't the worst scene. XD

[nazkey.livejournal.com]

Yup. Right there with you.

I hated, hated, hated the flashback double-dog-dare table frak. I felt it did Kara such a disservice as a character, so as much as I also hated the poof, I had to vote for that one, just cuz no table frakking flashback for me!

I know, right?! It hurt to have to pick EITHER.

This is so hard! I'm still not sure I can decide between the Home kiss vs. "no takebacks" and the poof vs. the flashback. Must deliberate further...

[cosetteferaud.livejournal.com]

Why does everyone hate the flasbacks so much? Ok, the near frak is awful but the rest are fine (especially when Kara opens the door and yeah, insta-connection!). But the poof... Nope. I can't stand it, seriously. Worstest scene ever.

And I agree that the most difficult choice has been the Home kiss vs "no takebacks"... I've voted for the kiss, but... so tough!

(Also, I wish the flight deck punch had been on the list, that was the scene that turned me into a hardcore K/L shipper!)

I agree with you about the flashbacks. The near frak needn't have been there (though I don't despise as some people do), but the rest was really nice. But I don't think you are right to say everyone hates the flashbacks. After all, right now, the flashbacks are winning.

But I don't think you are right to say everyone hates the flashbacks

Hee, I was kidding, I read the comments of our fellow shippers above and all that lack of flashback!love made me very sad ;) But hey, I am one of those who always was ok with the flashbacks --and I don't despise the near frak either... I don't like it, but I can accept it (for me the most frustrating part of the flashbacks is the pigeon metaphor, really, but given that RDM never knew what it meant... Well, I choose to simply ignore it).

Great match-ups! It was very difficult to choose between many of them.

Okay, I'll fess: I voted for my favorite scenes, not "the best" scenes. But Match 4 has me convinced that I'm not the only one. The fakeout was way more interesting as a scene than "ooh, Kara pretty!"

[rayruz.livejournal.com]

More interesting though it may be much of the discussion from yesterday put it up higher because "it was real" and therefore said more.
