SciFi Battle Royale Round 1: Cylons vs. The Dread Pirate Roberts
Yesterday Gandalf handily trounced Sauron with 12 votes to 6. Much more one sided than I expected.To will it be The Dread Pirate Roberts or Cylons who come out victorious?
While it seems like the Cylons would have most of the advantages here, I find that I can’t count Wesley out. He’s handled R.O.U.S. he’s had years stripped away from him and come back from being mostly dead. The man is pretty much unstoppable.
I was going to say we don’t have enough data to go in, as we’ve got two TV shows and a couple of movies worth of Cylons, versus 1 movie/book with the DPR. But then, that just means we’ve seen that cylons can be defeated and we know their weaknesses. We don’t know the Dread Pirate’s weaknesses — if indeed he has any at all. Plus, he’s beaten my giant, which means he’s exceptionally strong, and he’s also bested my Spaniard, which means he must have studied…
As much as I love the old school Cylons, I just don’t see the Dread Pirate Roberts losing this one. He always finds a way to win when he’s not supposed to.
+Jane Rakali But he’s only got eyes for Buttercup. His is not a love to be taken lightly. And heaven forbid the cylons threaten her, because he would hunt them down.
Dread Pirate Roberts — but only just. Thankfully, the Cylons only know about Bonetti’s Defense, where as DPR will take on via Thibault which cancels out Capa Ferro. (Unless the old school Cylons have studied their Agrippa. Unlikely.)
Cylons have had their metal buts kicked by way less than one man with a rapier. They’ve been beaten by children for cryin out loud. DPR will take it when least expected.
+David Loeff Sonny, True Love is the greatest thing in the world — except for a nice MLT, mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe and perky… I love that — but that’s not what he said, he distinctly said “To Blathe”, and as we all know “to blathe” means “to bluff”
+Jane Rakali No way would Dread Pirate Roberts be distracted by No. 6. Trueeeeeeee Love! never to blave or to bluff. My vote: Dread Pirate Roberts. Too smart, too quick witted, too charming.
Another peculiar match up.

Dread Pirate Roberts. Dude, that guy was like Jesus with death, like “Nuh uh! I’m back! Taste my metal bro!”

The Dread Pirate Roberts, natch. I mean, he’s dripping panache and that takes you places.
Dread Pirate Roberts
as much as i like the dread pirate, id have to say the Cylon
Obviously the pirate would defeat them in a battle of the wits
The Dread Pirate Roberts of course.
The new cylons have numbers in their advantage. Plus, he’d be too distracted by number 6…

Are we talking old school cylons or the new toasters
Turns out Buttercup is a toaster. She’s Zoe Graystone’s little sister.…
+zach hatfield based on the picture I’m thinking old school cylons.

INCONCIEVABLE!!
True Love will win over the Cylons
+David Loeff Sonny, True Love is the greatest thing in the world — except for a nice MLT, mutton lettuce and tomato sandwich where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe and perky… I love that — but that’s not what he said, he distinctly said “To Blathe”, and as we all know “to blathe” means “to bluff”
Had to go with Dread Pirate Roberts. To The PAIN!!
