Tough choice between Maria and HAL but after much deliberation and back-and-forth will cast my vote for...
... ...... ............... MARIA |
HAL
|
This one is an easy choice for me: MARIA
I think the best final I could think of would be Maria, Hal and Ash, standing in front of R2D2, Data and the Daleks. |
Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer - HAL 9000
(2001: A Space Odyssey / 2010: The Year We Make Contact, 1968/1984) |
Extending for a further 48 hours for the latecomers...

Time to wrap up the Grand Finale.
By beating two of the toughest opponents of this entire tournament by a margin of... +3 votes over Forbidden Planet (1956)'s ROBBY THE ROBOT, and just +1 vote over Metropolis (1927)'s MARIA, THE WINNER OF THE ROBOTS/ANDROIDS/CYBORGS/A.I.s TOURNAMENT IS... The Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, also known as H.A.L.-9000. http://www.sol20.com/www/HAL9000/pics/Outline01.gif from Stanley Kubrick's immortal 1968 sci-fi cult classic...  and Peter Hyams's equally impressive 80s sequel... http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XGfQ5YnfWz...-+UK+Quad.jpeg A H-U-G-E thanks to everyone who voted and made this tournament a successful one. Special, deep-from-my-heart thanks go to those who popped in for even a minute and voted for the matches which were stuck for DAYS for decider votes. I hope to keep going on with such crazy ideas, and keeping the HDC forum flag flying. Ciao, until the next one! *************************TOURNAMENT CLOSED************************* |
