We're down to our last eight competitors in our search for the greatest work in all of science fiction and fantasy. So now it's time for you to vote on today's batch of titanic match-ups, as Star Wars takes on Firefly, Doctor Who battles the X-Men, Lord of the Rings crosses swords with Game of Thrones, and Harry Potter fights Buffy!

Today sees the Elite Eight, in which our competitors face off for a chance to win their chosen regional. Star Wars and Firefly vie for Space Opera supremacy; honestly, if we could settle this with the pictured duel between Han Solo and Malcolm Reynolds, we would, but your voting will have to do. Over in Epic Fantasy, Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones is the one showdown that probably everyone could have seen coming from the very beginning, so we await the coming brutality with great interest. In the Magic & Monsters Regional, Harry Potter has emerged as the standard bearer for magic, while Buffy the Vampire Slayer is on hand to represent the monsters (which, to the best of understanding, she then slays). And our Dystopia & Mad Science Regional delivers us a final that tilts more toward the Mad Science side of things, as Doctor Who and the X-Men fight for the last spot in the Final Four.

The only ones who can decide our Final Four are YOU, so VOTE NOW. Our polls remain open until midnight Pacific time tonight!
