Trio Trophy - Day Seventeen

Quick reminder, these are the only new matchups for the week. We'll dig in on Monday next with the start of the actual quarterfinals, rather than what I've been calling quarterfinals, which are actually octofinals (a word I've generally not encountered since the days of high school debate).

From the Co-Ed Fever bracket:

(1) I'll Fly Away v. (4) The Greatest American Hero

HOW THEY GOT HERE:

I'll Fly Away
Round 1: defeated Maximum Bob, 5-2
Round 2: defeated Hooperman, 4-3

The Greatest American Hero
Round 1: defeated G v. E, 6-3
Round 2: defeated Battlestar Galactica, 4-1

POINTLESS CONNECTION: Robert Culp played himself in a 1997 episode of Law & Order where Jack McCoy prosecutes a case involving the murder of a movie executive.

From the Public Morals bracket:

(1) Twin Peaks v. (4) The Outer Limits

HOW THEY GOT HERE

Twin Peaks
Round 1: defeated The Slap Maxwell Story, 6-1
Round 2: defeated Cupid, 4-3

The Outer Limits
Round 1: defeated Action, 6-3
Round 2: defeated That Was the Week that Was, 4-1

POINTLESS CONNECTION: Michael Ontkean, who played Sherrif Harry S. Truman on Twin Peaks appeared in two episodes of the revival of The Outer Limits.

The Greatest American Hero

It was either vote against I'll Fly Away, or just drop out of this thing entirely to maintain some level of self resepect (Ok. I left the door is wide open. Bring it.)

People had stopped watching Twin Peaks after the mystery was solved. I remember the show going out with a whimper. Sure, it gripped the country, but isn't it better off with a Prisoner-esque mythos?
