While we're on the topic of BSG, let's check if we had any other BSG related answers.

Spoiler:


Just one

How about a vauge TOS answer?

The thing that thought Kirk built it, and then Kirk outsmarted it and got it to self destruct
NORML54601 -1

This may be another controversial ruling, but I think that from that description, What NORML is talking about can clearly be identified as the Nomad space probe. I then considered, is Nomad a "Robot"? I could not find anything that refers to him as such, but again, reverting back to the criteria that was provided by GhostLee, he stated that it must have a name and be mobile, in addition to previously stated criteria that it cannot be partially biological (humanoid androids with no biological components are acceptable). Nomad fits all of these critera, and thus he is ruled a correct answer.

Also, let's just face facts. Norm needs all the help he can get at this point :)

We mentioned androids in the last reveal. Did anyone come up with any of those?

Spoiler:


Just one, and it's a small wonder that anyone mananged to remember it.

This answer confused me a little.

Spoiler:

But who gave it?

Spoiler:

K-9
Shannon Nutt +2
The Cow +2

Oh, an unfortunate match!

And yes, I know it's a Doctor Who answer.

Number 6 (New BSG)
davidh777 +4

We did not, but this answer is ruled incorrect.

This may not be a popular ruling, but it's directly from the words of our MIA Sheepmaster, GhostLee. I was forwarded some questions that GhostLee answered regarding the game, and he specifically said that for this question, partially biological beings, including human appearing Cylons, would be ruled as incorrect. Sorry davidh777.
:brickwl2: Not pleased by the ruling, but I knew it was risky. I guess I should've joined the "ask a secret question" club. ;)

As we all know, there are no wrong answers in sheep...

Spoiler:

But there sure are some bad ones.

I couldn't find any evidence of this first answer ever having been a television series...

Spoiler:


but here's a picture of them watching television in the movie.

Similarly, I couldn't really figure out which book (or series for that matter) this title was referencing...

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
This show only ran for one season, but it has something of a cult following, and one person was supremely confident in his answer.

Poor Damfino! Perhaps if he had known that it was based on the movie of the same name, and not the series of books (which were spawned from the film and TV series, not the other way around), he might not have been as confident.

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
Now here's a couple of honest to goodness sci-fi TV shows based on books.

This one has a 7.5/10 user rating on IMDb. Who here thought it was the best?

Spoiler:


Just kenbuzz

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...14lastship.jpg
The Last Ship (Novel of the same name by William Brinkley)
kenbuzz 0




This one has an 8.3/10 user rating on IMDb, and is based on a book by Stephen King. That's gottta be good for a couple matches, right?

Hailey G 11-11-16 11:07 AM
Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
This one also has a 7.5/10 user rating at IMDb, and ran for 2 seasons on the WB, and a third on UPN.

Spoiler:


And we have a match!

Roswell (based on the "Roswell High" series by Melinda Metz)
buckeyes8604 -2
The Cow -2

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
That brings us to our final two, the highest scoring answers for this question. One is based on one of the most well regarded and best selling sci-fi novels of all time, and the other property is also extremly well regarded, but is actually based on a BBC radio series (which was later adapted into a series of books).

But again, no wrong answers in sheep!

So... which scored higher?

Spoiler:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...eep/14dune.jpg vs. http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...hitchikers.png

Dune (SciFi Mini-Series)
Spoiler:

Abob Teff -5
brainee -5
Count Dooku -5
Crocker Jarmen -5
davidh777 -5


The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (BBC Series)
Spoiler:

DaveNinja -3
majorjoe23 -3
Shannon Nutt -3

Hailey G 11-11-16 11:18 AM
Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
And with that, brainee cuts ever so slightly into majorjoe23's lead. Could it be a sign of things to come?

Scores after question 14:

majorjoe23 -103
brainee -100
The Cow -85
kenbuzz -80
wishbone -79
Count Dooku -73
Damfino -67
davidh777 -67
buckeyes8604 -65
Shannon Nutt -65
Abob Teff -64

Hailey G 11-11-16 11:29 AM
Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
Star Trek is probably the most popular and well known science fiction series of all time, and guess what? One of them even had "Space" in the title!

Spoiler:


Unfortuantly, it was NOT the most popular choice for this question.

Oh come on sheeps, there's really only 2 good choices here. I have a feeling I picked the wrong one. :(

Hailey G 11-11-16 11:42 AM
Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game
 
Only 2 shows actaully recieved matches on this question, which means it could be one of the higher scoring questions of the game. Did anyone take advantage of that opportunity to make up some ground?

Let's find out!

Spoiler:


Why don't we start with the most popular answer?

Spoiler:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i2...ep/15_1999.jpg
Spoiler:

Space: 1999
Count Dooku
davidh777
kenbuzz

But did anyone slam it?

Spoiler:


NOPE

Count Dooku -7
davidh777 -7
kenbuzz -7
majorjoe23 -7
Shannon Nutt -7
The Cow -7
wishbone -7





Which means that leaves

Spoiler:

How many players do we have left again?
Spoiler:

buckeyes8604 {sd} -10
Crocker Jarmen {sd} -10
Damfino {sd} -10
DaveNinja {sd} -10




Spoiler:

But wait, I didn't see brainee's name up there.

Perhaps that's because he answered...
