I&#8217;m really liking the themes up for voting so far &#8211; especially <em>Connected Worlds, Day and Night, End of the Road, Everyone Is a Monster, For Science!, Labyrinth, Limited Capacity, No Way In No Way Out, Points of View, Rise and Fall, Strange Physics, <\/em>and<em> The Power of Machines<\/em>. Off the cuff I can think of several cool things one could do with any of these.<\/p>\n <p>Not so wild about <em>It&#8217;s a Trap!, You Must Leave It Behind, <\/em>and<em> No One Can See You<\/em>, because they practically prescribe a genre. But so far I don&#8217;t see any theme that would be truly awful from my perspective (YMMV). In any case, I have been surprised by the chosen theme every single time so far, which just reaffirms the notion that the theme is nothing worth sweating over during this week.
