[QUOTE="Aitch Eye, post: 2137145, member: 385"] Ok, so he was talking about the nominations phase (as no [i]B5[/i] episode was on the final ballot). Nominees were and are determined just by the number of nominations they get, without all the complications of the final voting. However, his constituency were allowed to make 5 equally weighted nominations in the category, so I wonder if it really affected things as much as he seems to think. He said "the top two B5 episodes on the list had 32 and 27 votes between them, enough right there to have won if combined", but we don't know how many people voted for both. Since people could possibly have nominated several episodes each, adding up the nomination numbers doesn't show much, other than that the show had at least 32 supporters -- who had more than enough votes between them to cover all the [i]B5[/i] nominations. Not that I think that's what happened, but he overstated his case. Also, I'm unclear about what he means by "eight B5 episodes made it to the final cut" and "enough right there to have won if combined" (Won...the nominating process?), since these statements don't have any clear relation to the rules and procedures. I don't know whether The Lurker's Guide quoted his comments in their entirety or if there might be some missing context, so I shouldn't comment further. [/QUOTE]
