THE FINAL VOTE! Best Fight Scene! (for real this time) *spoilers*

[sarah]

This is it folks. I'm sorry I screwed up the last vote.

Eddie and Roland at the gas station

vs

Eddie and Roland at Balazar's.


sorry Tull, sorry Dixie Pig...you didn't get the votes.

(don't hate on me fever...:wub:)

[Brice]

This is it folks. I'm sorry I screwed up the last vote.

Eddie and Roland at the gas station TULL

vs

Eddie and Roland at Balazar's. TULL


sorry Tull, sorry Dixie Pig...you didn't get the votes.

(don't hate on me fever...:wub:)


:P

[sarah]

:rofl:

[Rjeso]

I love the fight at the gas station, but the shoot-out at Balazar's is just so wonderful to me. It's all in the way Eddie steps up and surprises everyone by knocking some guys completely on their asses, and all while buck nekkid. Rock on, Eddie.

[Brice]

:rofl:

:D :D :D

[jayson]

Balazar's. Both were great scenes but it was extra cool to see how well Eddie could fight before Roland trained him to be a gunslinger, not to mention that he did it without his clothes on.:shoot:

[Daghain]

Gas Station. It was so over the top cool. :)

[Letti]

Why do we need a poll at all? Gas Station can beat even Chuck Norris, too.

[Daghain]

Amen, sister! :wub:

[Rjeso]

Pfffffffffffft. :P

[Letti]

Pfffffffffffft. :P

I am not good at English... does it mean "I couldn't agree more"? :P

[fernandito]

I like those choices, Brice :thumbsup:

[Brice]

I like those choices, Brice :thumbsup:

I SO want to open that poll. :lol:

[Matt]

Shoot Out--up one side and down the other.

[blackrose22]

This was so hard to decide but went with the shootout at Balazars. Nothing more scary than a naked man with a gun:panic: .

[The Lady of Shadows]

This is it folks. I'm sorry I screwed up the last vote.

Eddie and Roland at the gas station DIXIE PIG

vs

Eddie and Roland at Balazar's. DIXIE PIG


sorry Tull, sorry Dixie Pig...you didn't get the votes.
(don't hate on me fever...:wub:)

so, how many times have we heard that this is the final poll? :orely:



Pfffffffffffft. :P

I am not good at English... does it mean "I couldn't agree more"? :P

letti - that is the fucking funniest thing i think i've ever heard you say.
you totally rock!!!!! :rock: :clap: :rofl:

but if i have to choose, it's gotta be a the fight with balazar. that took serious guts, considering eddie had no idea who roland was, roland had no idea who eddie was, and neither or them knew if they really could depend on each other. plus, let's face it, fighting naked - please.

[Letti]

Pfffffffffffft. :P

I am not good at English... does it mean "I couldn't agree more"? :P

letti - that is the fucking funniest thing i think i've ever heard you say.
you totally rock!!!!! :rock: :clap: :rofl:

*laughs* :couple:

[ladysai]

GAS STATION!

[sarah]

This is it folks. I'm sorry I screwed up the last vote.

Eddie and Roland at the gas station DIXIE PIG

vs

Eddie and Roland at Balazar's. DIXIE PIG


sorry Tull, sorry Dixie Pig...you didn't get the votes.
(don't hate on me fever...:wub:)

so, how many times have we heard that this is the final poll? :orely:

hey, don't be a hater, I already said I was sorry.

[obscurejude]

I voted gas station.

[Unfound One]

Gas Station here as well.

[Daghain]

Oh, this is going to be soooo close!

[fernandito]

hey, don't be a hater, I already said I was sorry.

Yeah, leave the hating to me :arg:



P.S - I love you , call me.

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Erin]

Gas Station!

[Jean]

GAS STATION!

hear, hear!



sorry Tull, sorry Dixie Pig...you didn't get the votes.

grrr
that happened only because the bear is on vacation
GRRR

all right, though, I can concede that Dixie Pig was the best scene full stop, not the best fight scene. Gas Station is bona fide fight scene, and a perfect one at that.

[Daghain]

I love you. :wub:

[Jean]

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wub.gif

time to close the poll?

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/bear_wink-1.gif

[Daghain]

Sure.:)

[ManOfWesternesse]

I just voted Gas Station..... and tied it 12:12 :panic:

[Matt]

Crap, I'm going to have to get my secret weapon in here. :ninja:

[Brice]

I null voted for TULL.

[The Lady of Shadows]

so, how many times have we heard that this is the final poll? :orely:

P.S - I love you , call me.

hey, i don't hate the players (well, not ALL the players :evil:) i hate the game! i hate the game! :lol:

[MonteGss]

I very happily voted for Gas Station. The best fight scene out of many, many cool ones. (most of which involved both roland and eddie).
:)

[Darkthoughts]

Pfft! I voted Balazar's...guns, drugs, the mob, naked Eddie!

[MonteGss]

maerlyn dear, is there going to be a end time for this poll? Or will it remain open as long as votes are cast? Just wondering. :)

[Darkthoughts]

It will be closed now I've tipped the vote in favour of Balazar's :lol:

[Matt]

I think it would be nice to get as many as possible.

[Rjeso]

It will be closed now I've tipped the vote in favour of Balazar's :lol:

I like the way you're thinkin', dark.

[alinda]

OMG its crazy I tell ya! :lol:

[sarah]

maerlyn dear, is there going to be a end time for this poll? Or will it remain open as long as votes are cast? Just wondering. :)


Monte, I'm not closing this poll anytime soon. I'm taking your earlier advice and I'm going to keep it open as long as people are voting.

:couple:

[fernandito]

Balazar.


Just cuz.

[Woofer]

And I've tied it up again.

Also, I evened up the poll.

[MonteGss]

maerlyn dear, is there going to be a end time for this poll? Or will it remain open as long as votes are cast? Just wondering. :)


Monte, I'm not closing this poll anytime soon. I'm taking your earlier advice and I'm going to keep it open as long as people are voting.

:couple:

I do think this is the way to go. :)
:wub:

This is a good battle/vote.

[Letti]

This poll is killing me... http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/Lettike/smiley/dead__remake_by_arrioch.gif

[ManOfWesternesse]

It was 15:15 a few minutes ago - now its 16:15 to Balazaars , and nobody's claimed it!

It's a great battle (this thread I'm talking about!! :lol:)

[Lee]

Oh I claim that! WOOHOO!! Totally me! I love that fight scene and all the nakedness. :P

[ManOfWesternesse]

Oh I claim that! WOOHOO!! Totally me! I love that fight scene and all the nakedness. :P

So YOU'RE to blame Lee, huh! :angry:

:lol:

[Lee]

Oh sheesh! Dont be mad! :P

[mia/susannah]

this is tough. I had to vote for the Gas station since DIxie pig did not make it. I thought the gas station was one of the best fight scenes.

[ManOfWesternesse]

.....I had to vote for the Gas station.....

Yay Milissa!!! :huglove:
(Got any friends you have influence over who haven't voted yet??) :lol:

[Rjeso]

Balazar.


Just cuz.

Because it's better.

*high five*

[alinda]

Even Stephen again....oh well.:lol: It just goes to show
that there are many great scene's in this story!

I still say Gas Station by the way!!

[Tiffany]

It was a tough call. I thought originally I'd go with the Gas Station but then I thought about Eddie butt-nekkid, with a strange man in a room full of guns and Henry's decapitated head being lobbed into the room topped it off for me.

Sorry Gas Station fans. It was a really tough call!

[Daghain]

I love how this poll keeps tying up. :lol:

[Ves'Ka Gan]

It's 16:19 now. I am proud to say My vote took Balazar's to 19.

I loved the fight at Balazar's because it had action movie elements and real gunslinger moments, as well. Plus we see Eddie's mettle for real, I mean fighting with his precious bits dangling? C'mon!

[fernandito]

I love how people are talking more about Eddie's nakedness than the actual fight :rofl:

[Tiffany]

Hey, there's something to be said for a guy that'll run around with bullets whizzing by his flapping dong.

I'm just sayin'!

[Darkthoughts]

*high fives Tiffany* :lol:

[fernandito]

I wonder if Tull would of won if Roland was fighting with his thing flapping around. :orely:

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: Allie might have changed her mind...

[Letti]

I am sure if Roland had been naked at the gaz station we would win easily..

[jayson]

I love how people are talking more about Eddie's nakedness than the actual fight :rofl:

Roland seemed to think it was noteworthy.

[Woofer]

Sick Roland and naked Eddie maintain the lead. This is a tough one.

[Odetta]

Hasn't this thread died yet?

:shoot:


:)

[jayson]

Hasn't this thread died yet?

:shoot:


:)

It should be first one to 19 votes wins. :)

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: I like that!

[ManOfWesternesse]

but.... one of them's already on 19.... oh....you knew!

[jayson]

but.... one of them's already on 19.... oh....you knew!

Yep, the one I voted for. :)

[Girlystevedave]

OOh...19 against 19 right now? That's a it eerie.

[Matt]

We got a good amount of votes this time at least. :rock:

[Jean]

now it's the one that gets to 91 first

[Jean]

what we have now is so beautiful that I couldn't resist closing the poll

maerlyn, or matt, or anyone who would see fit and have the power to, can re-open it any time

But let's stop and think first.

19 vs. 19

Isn't that the moment of ultimate truth?

[sarah]

whatever you want jean, it is fine with me either way.

monte might be a bit upset about it. :unsure:

[Darkthoughts]

Jean, whatever you want...we all know who got to 19 first ;) :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

ummm. balazar's - right? :)

[Darkthoughts]

You know it!!!!!!! :D

[Unfound One]

I like the way this ended up. :)

[fernandito]

...

[MonteGss]

19 vs. 19

Isn't that the moment of ultimate truth?
Nope. It is a interesting ocurrence. Probably happened at 3, 6, 7, or might even happen at 99.
Um, what a lot of work and a lot of time for a tie that could have been done at any random time.

Feev...I think I'm with you...I want to change my vote to Tull. :D

[razz]

It's a sign

[Jean]

right

Monte: a tie at 2 or even 6 isn't a tie, it's something that may be merely accidental. when it's around 20, it rather means that this ratio would reproduce later on, and that any bias to one or the other side would, in its turn, be accidental. A tie seems what it actually is - a valid result; and a tie at 19 looks beautiful. As I said, however, the poll can be re-opened... till it ties again at 99

[MonteGss]

Whatever you want, Jean. I have no authority or say in the matter.

I think it's dumb. There's no sign or purpose to it, it's a random tie.

[Jean]

ok Monte, it was more like a joke anyway. I thought it was a beautiful moment that deserved to be stopped and marveled at, is all. I surely didn't want or expect anyone to take it too seriously. The poll is re-opened.

also, - I thought you knew? - all members have a say in whatever is going on around here

[jayson]

Hey at least if it ties at 99 we'll know that a large percentage of the members have voted.

[Jean]

correct

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k291/mishemplushem/Facilitation/0134-bear.gif

[The Lady of Shadows]

i thought it was funny. :couple:

[mia/susannah]

I kinda like the tie at 19, very significant

[razz]

right

are there even 198 members?

[Jean]

er... in fact there are 1,483 - as of today

[razz]

wow. i kinda expected about 200 or 300, but 1483?

[The Lady of Shadows]

wow. i kinda expected about 200 or 300, but 1483?

that's a joke, right? :unsure:

[razz]

no, there are so few people on at once (not including visitors) that i assumed that there were only about 200 people

[The Lady of Shadows]

Nineteen is a cool number, and perfectly apt for a DT-related measure...
yet, the more the merrier!
VOTE!
It's fun! It's free! It's cool!
It's a great excuse to discuss ass-kicking in a literate manner!
VOTE for the best fight scene!
:D

[fernandito]

that's a joke, right? :unsure:

Apparently his part of Michigan isnt close enough to Canada.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Wow! 20:20 (or am I seeing that right? :lol: )

[Erin]

I just broke that tie. :rock:

[ManOfWesternesse]

I just broke that tie. :rock:

And you broke it the right way! Way to go Erin! :rock:

[obscurejude]

Its tied again. 21, 21.

[Arthur Heath]

The final two choices just shows us that people love them some of Eddie and Roland together. Be it at the beginning of their relationship or near the end.

[MonteGss]

Yes!! Eddie and Roland are awesome friends and their parts are some of my favorite in the whole series!

[The Lady of Shadows]

are they really friends though? i think of them as a lot of things, but i don't think i ever thought of them as friends.

[MonteGss]

:o

I never considered them anything else.

[The Lady of Shadows]

i always thought of them more as mentor/mentee, teacher/student, and father/son. and i think eddie thought of them that way too especially given what he said when he died.

[Arthur Heath]

I think your right Turtle, but I think the foundation of mentor/mentee, teacher/student, and father/son is a friendship though. My dad is my best friend.

[The Lady of Shadows]

you're lucky then.

[fernandito]

are they really friends though? i think of them as a lot of things, but i don't think i ever thought of them as friends.

Seconded.

[The Lady of Shadows]

:o

I never considered them anything else.

there are many sides to their relationships, but I, too, consider them friends first and foremost; and even it wasn't obvious before (which I believe it was), I think the Gas Station scene highlights this aspect like nothing else

I am beginning to think it could be a topic for a thread in Villagers. Monte? T/song?
EDITED: thank you Maerlyn! Great minds, as usual, and all that. In case someone misses it, here is the thread I mean (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?p=198404).

[Girlystevedave]

Man...are we still waiting on this poll?

Get on with it!

[fernandito]

:lol:

well this thread isn't closing anytime soon. I'm learning my polling lessons the hard way and this one is staying open until people stop voting. :borg:

[Girlystevedave]

Just let there be one more for Balazar's, then CLOSE IT!
:D

[sarah]

:lol:

suuuuurrreee.

[JQ The Gunslinger]

Just voted Balazars. I love that one only a little more over the gas station because thats eddies first time fighting. Hes not fighting for Roland or anything like that, its for his brother.

[MonteGss]

Man...are we still waiting on this poll?

Get on with it!


:lol:

well this thread isn't closing anytime soon. I'm learning my polling lessons the hard way and this one is staying open until people stop voting. :borg:

As it should be. :)

[sarah]

:D thanks monte :couple:

[isobell450]

I just voted for balazar's without hesitation I might add, but was the show down with the wolves considered or are we just on roland and eddie? cuz those riza plates kick ass.

[Darkthoughts]

:D Thats what I voted for originally.

There was a previous poll with LOADS of fight scenes - these are the two it was narrowed down too after the first round of voting.

[MonteGss]

Wow...the shootout at Balazar's is pulling ahead!! :) :(
C'mon Gas Station....!

[Darkthoughts]

Be quiet!

[razz]

Wow...the shootout at Balazar's is pulling ahead!! :) :(
C'mon Gas Station....!

if we wish really hard, and chant it leik Chüd, maybe we'll win

[Darkthoughts]

*drugs Razz*

[Girlystevedave]

You know all these people pulling for the gas station seem to be full of all this 'oil propaganda' that the government has fed us. :orely:

[MonteGss]

:lol:

[Matt]

Me and Lisa love House and naked Eddie :rock:

[Darkthoughts]

:lol: United in our weirdness :couple:

[Rjeso]

Loving House is weird? Loving naked Eddie is weird? Since when?

[Darkthoughts]

Loving House is weird to me as I was only recently converted - to me Hugh Laurie was just the "silly posh bloke from Blackadder".

[jayson]

Loving House is normal in my house. It's one of the few existing shows we look fwd to.

[Brice]

*drugs Razz*

Oh...that will change nothing. :rofl:

[Rjeso]

Loving House is weird to me as I was only recently converted - to me Hugh Laurie was just the "silly posh bloke from Blackadder".

Well, yes, he was that. House is just a testament to the range of the man's talent. ;) I adore him as the grim sarcastic antisocial genius. :D

PS: Vote BALAZAR'S

[Emsizz]

When does this end?

[Sam]

Balazar's. Hands down.

[fernandito]

When does this end?

It doesn't have an official end-date. The polls' going to be left open as long as new votes keep coming in.

[Tiffany]

Balazar's is winning. YES GUY!

*high-fives...someone*

[Sam]

*high-fives Tiffany*

[MonteGss]

I'm just glad a fight scene with the two best gunslingers will win. :)

The Balazar scene is hitting its stride...

[Hannah]

nekkid eddie just makes me hot.

[razz]

*drugs Razz*

Oh...that will change nothing. :rofl:
he's right. and killing me will only make me stronger

[Tiffany]

*high-fives Tiffany*

Thanks, man!

Lookit that lead. :rock:

[The Lady of Shadows]

wow. i'm just so impressed. and so relieved that the sanity has once again overtaken all voters. :)

[MonteGss]

Well...it is good to see the total number of votes keep climbing. :)
I wish more were for the correct fight scene though...:lol:

[Brice]

I know, Monte! But sadly Sarah removed TULL from the running. :cry:

[MonteGss]

:P
It is how it should be, Brice my friend. :lol:
Go Gas Station!

[Brice]

:(

[Girlystevedave]

Balazar's is kicking ass and taking names. :nana:

[The Lady of Shadows]

woohoo!

:excited: :rock: :thumbsup: :cool:

and anything else i can think of to express my happiness! :)

[Letti]

Whenever I come here I hope to see the Gas station as the leader... but you know what? Both of them were so damn great that I don't care which one gets more votes. :dance:

[fernandito]

I think this rice is cooked.

[Dante Deschain]

I think the fight at balazar's was way better. This was Eddie's first shootout and he still kicked a lot of ass.

[lipgloss_and_revolver]

I voted for the shootout at Balazar's. :shoot:
It's just so vividly described and the scene is a major kickass.

[Girlystevedave]

I forgot this even existed.

[Jean]

I forgot this even existed.
Now that I see the result I want to forget it, too.

[Letti]

I forgot this even existed.
Now that I see the result I want to forget it, too.

*laughs out loudly* Nevermind, Jean. We are on the same side so there is nothing to be worried about. :huglove:

There is no wrong side here. ;)

[BamaChambers]

FIRST POST WOO HOO!

Although we don't know many details of Jericho Hill I would still pick that as my favorite. I wish we could follow Rolands dreams in book 5 further and I have a feeling we will learn more of that battle in the comic books.

"As for gunslingers, Roland, I am here. And we are the last!"

[MonteGss]

Damn. It's been a while since I've seen the sh*tty results of this poll. :lol:
You poor, poor people that voted for the Balazar fight. I feel so sad for you that you decided to skip reading SoS and missed the awesomeness of the Gas Station fight. :cry:
:lol:

[sarah]

yeah, right there with you Monte. Such a waste. The gas station scene rocks hardcore. The two gunslingers fighting side by side in rhythm. so cool

[Jean]

and Cullum! and the dialog! and the whole situation that lead to that! and it being amplified tenfold by our knowledge than the rest of the ka-tet are in trouble elsewhere! It's one of the most exciting, complex, and packed with various gems, pieces ever written - while Balazar's is... well, a good fight scene.

[Brice]

Actually, I just recently read the gas station scene (and it is quite great) and my fondness for The fight at Balazar's was cemented. I think we can all agree they were both pretty kickass.

[jayson]

They are both great scenes, and it says a lot that both final choices came down to scenes with Eddie and Roland. Ultimately, what I like more about the scene at Balazar's is that it took place before Eddie was a Gunslinger. We had no idea what to expect from Eddie as far as his battle skills. By the time the Gas Station came around, I knew full well that Eddie was one bad-mutha and not to be messed with. It was still great to experience, and Jean is right about how much the presence of Cullum adds to that scene, but for me the initial discovery of Eddie's courage and skill at the Leaning Tower is what makes that scene my favorite of the fight scenes.

[Jean]

We had no idea what to expect from Eddie as far as his battle skills.
yes, that's right... I think I read TDoTT too many times and kinda got used to it; think I should reread it as if afresh

[Letti]

You are absolutely right RoG, but for my part I love the gas station fight so much (even better than the one at Balazar) because the way Roland and Eddie worked together was... shocking. And brilliant. And beautiful. They were like one soul in two bodies. I was eating the pages and I was so proud of them both.
I was proud of Roland because he could find a new ka-brother and he taught him everything he needed to know about being a gunslinger.. and I was so proud of Eddie. When we first met him he was just a trembling junkie who could have killed for a shot... and he could get rid of the black monkey, moreover, he became a true gunslinger in a world where he was a forever stranger.
*happy sigh*

[LadyHitchhiker]

Balazar hands down...

*happy sigh*

Well said indeed.

Also, at Balazars, even though he fought so well (for a man totally untried) he had some uncertainty during the fight, I seem to recall? (I need to re-read again soon!). And then at the end when they threw in Henry's head - Eddie just lost the plot. If not for Roland he was dead right there.

The Eddie at the Gas Station was a different man, a true Gunslinger.

[sarah]

exactly!

And, I'm not saying that the fight at Balazar's wasn't awesome. It was. I loved that, like jayson and others said, we didn't know what to expect from Eddie. He came out fighting when all the odds were against him. He fought and fought hard.

But the gas station scene is great, because we get to truly see how far Eddie and Roland have come as Gunslingers. We also see how far they have come as Ka-Tet.

[fernandito]

If the fight at Tull had a physical manifestation of itself, he/she/it would be laughing it's ass off. :evil:

hmmmm..I think I missed the whole thing. Those are the only 2 choices?
Damn I gota start paying attention. :cool:

Mordred, that is just the list that it got narrowed down to. :D

I agree with the sentiments expressed by most of the people so far. The shootout at the gas station in Maine was brilliant, but the firefight between Eddie, Roland and Balazar's crew is simply incomparable. It's the most exciting action sequence I've ever come across in a work of fiction. If they ever tried to option The Drawing of the Three as a script that scene would be bigger than the pivotal scene in Eastern Promises.

C'mon Mordred, that's just nonsense. These are the two fights scenes as narrowed down by all of your wonderful peers here on the site. Don't segregate yourself, VOTE!! :)

(If I were you, I'd vote Gas Station ;) )

[Mordred Deschain]

Alright alright!! :)

But I can't vote for the gas station. I understand the scene, but it seems to much like a mid-80's Rambo movie. But I do like it because it does show (like most of the fight scenes) the skill of gunslingers and the ability to overcome unbelievable odds.

The fight at Balazar's I found more interesting. The close quarters gun play was excellent, also the simple fact that Roland was impressed that Eddie was fighting naked. Which also brings up the point that it was the first impression that we might get to see more gunslingers.

But they were both pretty good, just not my favorite

Like a Rambo movie?
When our two favourite gunslingers are fighting like two souls in one body... it seems like a mid-80's Rambo movie?

noooo...more like when grenades and machine guns and exploding gas pumps are involved rather than straight out gun play, then ya, it's like a rambo movie.

When young Roland, Alain, and Cuthbert are riding up on Jonas and all the guys piking them off and working as one soul, that's a gun fight. Or Roland taking on the entire town of Tull. That's true gunslinger skill. And in Balazar's office when Roland is still freshly dealing with only being able to use one hand, that's a gun fight.

there was something of a Rambo movie about it, just like there was something of different cultural contexts in different parts of the saga; often they were intermingled in most unexpected ways, and I think that's the very point of the book.

I agree 100%


Other than that, I liked the gas station scene, just wasn't my favorite.

Wow, Balazar's is kicking some ass. So unfortunate...:(

I also like the the fight scene in the tunnel on the way to fedic (I think) when Roland and Eddie appear behind the guys that were chasing Jake and Oy from the Dixie pig. I think it was described as since each only had one gun, Roland would roll behind Eddie to reload while Eddie would take his six shots, then Eddie would roll behind Roland to reload while Roland did what he does best. I thought that was a classic tactical move.
