    Yep. It's cool (represented by Bebop), but it's also really, really bizarre, represented by the other three.

    Damnit why couldn't The Twilight Zone be going up against Twin Peaks. There's no way in hell its going to make it to the final battle. Twin Peaks also happens to be the weakest of the bunch as well. I'd say that the other three however are pretty fantastic.

    True, but everything Angelo Badalamenti touches does.

    Twin Peaks, though I'll back whoever wins this battle in the final.

    I'm not really a fan of either of these, and I'm annoyed that either one is moving on.
    ...and the milk's in me.

    I prefer both of the other two. But, the popularity of Lynch's baffles me more, so Cowboy Bebop.
