Something easy...name three interracial romances in the Star Trek universe.

mirevolver · 05-15-2004, 12:15 AM

Sarek (Vulcan) and Spock's Mother (Human)
Worf (Klingon) and Jadzia Dax (Trill)
Rom (Ferengi) and Leeta (Bajoran)

In Babylon 5, who was the alien Sheridan met at Z'ha'Dum?

Rodney · 05-15-2004, 12:32 AM

Lorien.

Which B5 character is named after a very influential science fiction writer from the '50s? Another writer who JMS admired and emulated besides Rod Serling.

Rodney · 05-23-2004, 05:36 PM

It's been a damn week, I'll answer my own question: (Alfred) Bester, the PsiCop.

The movie Bladerunner: what Philip K. Dick novel was it based on (pretty damned loosely, but still..)?

Fremen · 05-23-2004, 05:50 PM

It was based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
(I seriously need to read more sci-fi books instead of just watching the films.)

next:

In Aliens, what does Bishop try to pass to Ripley at the mess hall table?

JohnnyRoyale · 05-23-2004, 06:57 PM

I believe Bishop offered his cornbread to Ripley, but I'm not entirely sure....

That's it. Well, the dish of cornbread.

Your question, Johnny.

JohnnyRoyale · 05-26-2004, 01:35 PM

Ok, here's one:

Name three movies that were make based on Philip K. Dick stories, and (bonus) the name of the original story.

*hint* look earlier in this thread for a freebie.

Kadath · 05-26-2004, 07:58 PM

Easy! Wrote a paper on them in college
We can remember it for you wholesale -- Total Recall
Do androids dream of electric sheep -- Blade Runner
Second Variety -- Screamers

Next! What was the name of the human who worked with the Cylons on Battlestar Galactica?

Fremen · 05-26-2004, 09:28 PM

Baltar! (great actor, was John Colicos, played evil well)

next:

Who was Lukes' gunner that died during the Battle of Hoth?

primal · 05-26-2004, 09:34 PM

Dax?

Name the Alien race from Doctor Who that can only be killed by sticking something into a small hole in the back of their heads.

Close enough. It was Dack.

I have no idea about your question, though.

"Name the Alien race from Doctor Who that can only be killed by sticking something into a small hole in the back of their heads."

JohnnyRoyale · 05-27-2004, 03:02 PM

Sontarians (not sure on the spelling)

p.s. Kadath, I also would have taken Minority Report

Here's one:
All the major charaters in the X-Files TV-show are named after players of what professional sport? Looking for the sport name, not the name of any particular player.

Kadath · 05-27-2004, 08:16 PM

I chose to ignore the easy one!

JohnnyRoyale · 05-31-2004, 04:12 PM

Guess I asked a stumper there (or everyone's gone for the weekend)...the answer is baseball (which is featured in one episode)

Anyway, next question:

The ending scene of the original Blade Runner film has a fly-over of a mountain/tree area. This scene was added at the last minute by the producers, who were worried that an unhappy ending might upset audiences. The question is: what film's opening did they steal (or borrow) that scene from?

Kadath · 06-07-2004, 10:03 AM

You killed it! I try to bring it back!

What is Star Fleet's emergency frequency in the NG era?

JohnnyRoyale · 06-08-2004, 05:28 AM

I wouldn't have thought The Shining was that hard...

Is it, Die?

Moobie · 06-08-2004, 03:41 PM

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. I always loved how horribly corny that scene was. What's the next question?

Fremen · 06-08-2004, 08:51 PM

In the series Firefly, who shoves the bad guy into the intake of Serenitys' engine?
(I think it was the intake.)

Pellaz · 06-08-2004, 09:20 PM

"Darn." *kick*-The ever lasting Captain Reynolds. Damn Fox to hell.

Also from Firefly: What's Jaynes favorite gun named?

Fremen · 06-12-2004, 01:37 AM

Give us the answer, Pellaz, and ask another question, please.

Moobie · 06-14-2004, 01:28 PM

Give me 50cc's of sodium pentathol stat! And hand me those shocker pad thingies that George Clooney uses.

New question:

Te wanna wanga?

Kadath · 06-14-2004, 04:05 PM

Te wanna whigoa..
We bring a message to your master, Jabba the Hutt...and a gift?

Moobie · 06-30-2004, 05:13 PM

Okay it's been a hundred years and this thread is cool so it time for some resurrection.

Kadath I'm not sure if that was a question, but I'll try to answer it anyway.

The gift he's talking about is C-3PO and R2 as gifts to Jabba the Hutt in exchange for an audience.

Next Question:

What was Newt's brother's first and last name in Aliens?

Kadath · 06-30-2004, 07:31 PM

Actually, Moobie, I was just responding to the previous question with the next line in the movie. Your question is quite good, though.

Fremen · 07-17-2004, 10:27 PM
