Great idea for a game @BillFiler - 10/10. 2/10 for @MrColdStream and @ItsR0b0tNinja for downvoting the awesomeness that is Invasion of the Dinosaurs. I was going to downvote Colony but it’s one of my eldest’s favourite stories so my conscience won’t let me so it will have to be The Sea Devils (although I think all these stories are great!)

Colony in Space feels like the odd one out to me, and certainly not Sea Devils, which I love.

It pains me to vote down a Hulke story. “Colony” has a great script but the execution is somewhat… dull.

On the flip side, I adore the scope, ambition and sheer comic book excitement of “Frontier”. It’s a real favourite that I suspect would be better regarded if Delgado’s Master had a better final scene and if Nation’s follow up more clearly dovetailed with all the lovely work Hulke had done.

I did not think this through when I made this round of the Elimination Game… It means I have to vote some of these down… :cry:
No but seriously, I just love Malcolm Hulke’s writing to bits :blush:

The fall of colonialism killed [-1] Colony in Space.

Upvoting Frontier because it acknowledges that Helsinki exists. I don’t dare anger @deltaandthebannermen anymore (he has the power to ban me, after all), so I won’t touch the dinos and will remove Colony from the game instead!
