And finally, we start the final, ultimate battle of the Television Series Battle Arena! The long eliminations left us with four division winners, who will fight today for the title of Ultimate Champion!

Fighter number one - the only superhero that survived the eliminations (which brings us to inevitable question - what's so super about superheroes, eh? ;)). High ego, cartoon weaponry, black cloak, classy suit. Let's get dangerous with... Darkwing Duck!

Fighter number two - one of the best spaceship captains in history of science fiction. Calm, highly logical Borg slayer. Ladies and gentlemen... captain Jean-Luc Picard!

Fighter number three - pacifistic and highly intelligent American agent, who needs only a Swiss army knife, a duct tape and the environment to defeat all his enemies. Say hello to our non-macho action hero... Angus MacGyver!

Fighter number four - one of the raving geniuses behind Monty Python's Flying Circus. That man is not funny - that man is HIGH-larious! Welcome... John Cleese!

And now, a minute of silence for the inevitable deaths of those, who will not survive the upcoming battle.

*minute passes*

LET THE SLAUGHTER BEGIN!

(Jean-Luc for the win!)

Cleese will kick ass :D

O captain! My captain!... ^_^

My Avatar s(l)ays it all. :arr:

Hmm, tough choice... but I'm gonna have to stick with MacGyver. I've spent many a night with a couple friends and a couple pizzas, as we make our way through the series.

Cleese for the win.

You know, I would have made a battle banner if I wasn't swamped... But promise me one thing, at least for this last battle, write a nice finishing story, cause that made the first battle arena so awesome.

I promise. And I'm going to restart the end-stories next arena.

In other news, triple tie!

I voted for Picard. Now it's only a double tie :P

No, now Picard is winning (3 to 2 to 2 to 0) :P

Cleese gets my vote.

Macgyver :D

Triple tie yet again (Duck - Picard - MacGyver - Cleese: 0 - 3 - 3 - 3)!

Well, the duck will get quacked, that's for sure!

did you know I recently got season 1-4 of macgyver?
but then, I own all the Start trek the next generation series....


ooh, toughie...
cool intro tune vs cool intro speech (and much quoted when talking about removing virginity)
kick-ass field op vs kick-ass leader
fantasy vs science fiction
hero vs hero
but then, the captain hates kids and macgyver hates heights...

this is getting no easier.

the captain has a gay uniform
but then macgyver has a gay sense of right and wrong and that the world should be a flowery place where children play by chocolate rivers and... euh stuff

well then let6s judge it by the movies
the Star trek movies had one bad one
the macgyver movies had 2 horrible ones and no good ones. :P

I am going to have to ...
no, I hate the prime directive, and the captain feels otherwise.
but he is a captain, and that is awesome....

damn it!
--
well strike all that, in a true fight, who would win?
one has phasers, and a fucking spaceship which is a flagship of the navy.
the other has ingenuity, years of field experience (well the captain has that too) and chuck norris like bullet dodging capabilities (he doesn't dodge bullets, the bullets dodge him)
but then, a fucking "phaser" (dr evil airquotes)

I'm voting for the captain, by an inch.

Picard!!!

Know that's what I call "thinking who you vote for" :P Seriously, I just pick a spaceship captain above anyone.

@Reaper: and his quack has gone to the dogs.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOO cleese can't lose. He is cleeseman he would do something hillarious and win this why isn't he doing something :( :'(

After five days of voting, the winner is obvious - with 5 votes against two 3 (MacGyver and Cleese) and against 0 (Darkwing). It's Jean-Luc Picard!

Hope the story's not as bad as I think it is...

The duck was the first to fall, before he could draw any of his fancy contraption. It is unclear, who did the first shot in the battle - one of Darkwing's cartoon bombs exploded, leaving no corpse behind. Not that it would matter.

After this, the battle was for a long time undecided. Each time one of the other three opponents gained an advantage, he was quickly stopped by another, getting the upper hand - and then he lost it to the last fighter. A vicious, neverending wheel of war.

When it seemed the battle will never end, captain Picard proved his title of a brilliant strategist. Pulling out his another phaser, he sneaked around the place to annihilate the first opponent he would encounter.

Who turned out to be the comedian, John Cleese. The man had absolutely enough of this fight. He hid himself under a pile of furniture, put parsley in his ears and took out a megaphone and... dear God, this is too horrible... he started telling the funniest joke in the world.

Luckily, before he could even start, he was shot in the back by captain Picard. The captain made some horrible racket sneaking behind Cleese - but he obviously could not hear it with parsley in his ears. A touching punchline - or shootline, if you prefer.

Having dispatched one of his adversaries, Picard moved on, trying to find the last fighter - agent MacGyver.

Soon he found him working on a crazy contraption, that would no doubt turn the tide of the battle (actually, it looked more like a vending machine, but what does the Narrator know, eh?). Keeping the man covered, Picard slowly got out in the open, ready to shoot when MacGyver does something hostile - like turn around.

It was then that he fell into a pit, prepared by MacGyver.

When captain regained conciousness, he looked up - right in the MacGyver eyes. "So, are you using your weird battle contraption, agent MacGyver?", Picard asked, resigned.

"What weird batt... Oh, that. That's just a veding machine, used for distraction. Your end will be more stereotypical." He took out a remote with one button. "When I push that button, the pit will start filling with water. Have a nice bath", he said, pushing the button. Having done that, he started closing the pit.

Captain reacted immediately. He ordered the crew through the comm to beam him out of the pit behind MacGyver. In a second, he was facing his nemesis' back. Not waiting for him to turn around, he kicked him right into the filling pit, right before it closed.

"Objective uncompleted, agent Angus MacGyver."

Picard smiled and walked away, to the crowd and the jury. The new Master of the Arena.
