Super Archetype Slapdown Tournament!
And the winner is...
And so the tournament comes to an end. Even with his limitless supply of money and power, Charles Montgomery Burns was unable to best Galadriel, Lady of Light, especially when she kicked into scary mode, and so he was totally pwnd, as actually determined by the unscientific popular opinion of andyscates.com's readers. Therefore, andyscates.com is proud to announce Galadriel as the Winter 2006 Super Archetype Slapdown Champion.

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this..."
"Did I ever tell you kids about the first Thanksgiving? It took place between the ancient Egyptains and aliens from a distant galaxy." That's right, you can now buy an action figure of the Star Wars character Major Derlin, who was played by John Ratzenberger, who is best known for his role of Cliff Claven in Cheers. The Cliff Action Figure, now available from Hasbro.

Super Archetype Slapdown Tournament!
FINAL ROUND!
Due to surprising out-of-the-arena shenanigans, the Trinity vs. MacGyver match was cancelled to MacGyver's injuries from an attack of a pack of frenzied beagles (one of whom was wearing an old hat), and Trinity's illness that resulted from out-of-date virus definitions. Therefore, only one match is left. Who would win, and why? Discuss.
