Day 30: And so we hit the penultimate day of the 2010 Best Show Competition, and for me, this was one of the ties I predicted all the way back before we began. And I thought it would be the tie of the Competition. I predicted The Wire vs. Friends on the other side, so I wasn't far off, and my Friends final place has been taken by The Vampire Diaries, without a doubt the most impressive underdog of the competition, a show I predicted losing in Round 1 has shown it's welly with a Final place against one of the big guns of LOST and Supernatural. Which side will win I can not predict, before the Quarter Finals I had thought LOST, but Supernatural rallied up something special to post the single largest amount of votes for any show throughout the whole competition. Whichever wins will deserve the place in the Final Two, and will have the Tall order of taking on The Vampire Diaries, which easily saw off The Wire in the First Semi Final. So don't forget, if your reading this, to head to spoilertv.com tomorrow for the Final. Can today beat the whopping 7648 votes which the Supernatural vs. X-Files managed. If any fight is to do so it is this one. I have read most of the comments on today;s few posts and I see everyone is eager to spread the word with Twitter, Facebook, Forums. And so for the second till last time for now, I say Let the Battle Commence....

Fan Review: HP108
LOST is a show that revolutionized network television and the internet. The series explored themes and storylines that most shows were afraid to explore and created a buffet of mysteries that kept that show interesting for six seasons. LOST is a show that will be remembered for its clever twists and complex characters, with both great heroes and villains, for having a roller coaster run and for proving that not all the best shows are on cable television. LOST is an amazing show with perhaps the most controversial series finale ever.

Fan Review: Wilson Crawford
What started off as a seemingly fun, scary monster-of-the week show in the beginning quickly revealed itself to be one of the most well-written, fantastically-plotted, genre shows of the past decade. The core of Supernatural was, is, and will always be the brothers Winchester. Cursed by the demonic murder of their mother at a young age, the remnants of the Winchester family fell into a world of darkness. They were raised by their father to hunt the evil that preys on humanity, and ultimately to rid creation of the demon that killed their mother. Supernatural has one of the most incredible teams of writers I've ever seen: they can take the apocalypse and reduce it to two bratty forces of heaven having a tantrum, and then take a few misguided granted wishes and turn them into imminent danger. The action is well-laid out, the humor is crude, satirical, and sharp, and the twists in this show are some of the most insane, thought-out twists you'll ever see in television. Like I stated previously, however, the heart of this show lies on the brothers, and this show is not only a wonderful buildup of mythos, but the character development is out of this world. I can't speak enough on the evolution, the trials, and the strength of the commitment these two brothers have for each other. There's a reason it's called the "hellatus" between seasons...and That is why Supernatural is the BEST SHOW EVER.
This Video I have been warned is Quite Graphic yet Supernatural Awesome. So don't watch if your squeamish :P
