And sometimes you sorta remember something, but not really.

Spoiler:

wishbone 0

I couldn't be sure if this answer was meant to refer to Kai or Divine Shadow, but since nobody else said either character, it doesn't matter.

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game

Perhaps this is the answer that david was reaching for...

Spoiler:


Zev/Xev Bellringer
brainee -3
Count Dooku {sd} -6
Shannon Nutt -3

Also a NSFW warning for anyone who decides to google this name. Apparently there is a porn star who also performs under this name. You are warned. Or you are welcome. Whatever the case may be.


And that means that our final answer for this question is...

Spoiler:


Stanley Tweedle/The Captain
Abob Teff -6
buckeyes8604 -6
Crocker Jarmen -6
kenbuzz -6
NORML54601 -6
The Cow -6

And yes, I decided to match the generic answer of "The Captain" with "Stanley Tweedle". This may be controversial, especially since I didn't match Skankygirl with Xev, but I decided that since Stanley Tweedle was indeed the Captain of the spaceship Lexx and is refered to as such on the show, that answer could only refer to one person, whereas "Skankygirl" is not a name that was ever used on the show (to my knowledge).

Plus if I had matched david's answer with Xev, I wouldn't have gotten the opportunity to post the Skank Girl meme pic, and isn't entertainment value what is really important in these games?

I would normally disagree with this on principle, but ...



I have never seen Lexx and have no idea what it is.

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game

I am pleased to report that there are NO WRONG ANSWERS on this question.

Why don't we go in chronological order for this question? Who remembers this show, which debuted in 1949?

Seems plenty skanky to me, but as I admitted back when another SM was running the game, I've only seen a couple episodes of LEXX and didn't remember any names.

I listen to a podcast where one of the hosts does Mark Wahlberg impressions just like that. I couldn't help but hear that voice in my head. LSG Media plug!

Re: Sheep will control the horizontal: A Sci-Fi TV Sheep Game

The scores after question 19:

majorjoe23 -122
brainee -115
kenbuzz -111
The Cow -104
Count Dooku -100
wishbone -100
buckeyes8604 -95
Damfino -91
Shannon Nutt -87
DaveNinja -86
davidh777 -86
Abob Teff -83
Crocker Jarmen -71
mwbims -64
NORML54601 -29


So majorjoe and brainee give (and slam) the same answer, and the lead remains at 7, and kenbuzz uses a well placed slam of the most popular answer to slide into third.

Can anyone catch majorjoe on the final question?
