Cavemen vs. Astronauts

[DarkwingChuck]

Sure I'm 2 and a half years late but I'm watching season 5 of Angel on DVD. Anyways I couldn't help but wonder what this board's answer would be to the age old question. Who would win in a fight between cavemen and astronauts?

PS. I considering putting a joke option on the poll. Something like "Shut up" or "Sod off, ya ponce." but knowing you guys and gals that'd get 100% of the votes and defeat the purpose of the whole thing.

Hmmm, they never specify in the show but that's what made it so unanswerable. You're right, we oughta lay some ground rules.

Let's go with on Earth (or terraformed planet, or possibly an artificial nature-like area in a space station) anyway for all intents and purposes it's a random area of land. No weapons on either side to start off but there are various offensive items in the environment like tree branches, rocks, animal parts, etc. The astronauts are wearing their suits sans helmets and the cavemen are wearing animal hides or whatever.

Cavemen know how to make like a chimp and pummel. So I voted for them.

Winifred Burkle. Go.

As hot as she is normally, she was even hotter as Illyria. I think it was all the purple (or lavender or whatever color it is).

Winifred Burkle.

I'm sure Mora would post on topic, so is she in the caveman or astronaut category?

I'm sorry, but that was one of the worst episodes of Angel ever.

Who cares about the episode. Amy Acker = sexy. Amy Acker + slutty demon costume = hawtness.

Re: Cavemen vs. Astronauts

Are we talking about traditional modern day astronaut or some sort of new age astronaut? Astronaut suits are like 50+ pounds and are incredibly restricting. I suppose all the caveman would have to do is grab a rock and toss it at the astronaut's head and it'd be over.

But, if the caveman is really spiritual, he could get freaked out by the sight of the astronaut and pass out from shock.

Re: Cavemen vs. Astronauts

You're getting the idea marcus. That's exactly why I have the astronauts in their suits. There's pros and cons on both sides. Of course the astronauts have the ability to remove their suits (it's not like they're welded on) but assuming the initial confrontation is unexpected they'd be wearing them until they had a safe place to take cover because it takes a while to get those things off.

I guess Joss Whedon accomplished his mission. To populate his shows with people so hot that the actual content doesn't matter anymore.

Oh, I'm on to you now.

Re: Cavemen vs. Astronauts

More like the mission of 99% of all television and movies.

Although in Joss's defense it was one of the ideas that stemmed from his Shakespeare reading sessions. Then again that's not really a defense of him at all, more an admonishment of the way he flippantly alters the direction of his shows on a whim. But I digress.
