I'm actually watching Dr. Who while waiting for answers. But it's one of the non-cannon movies.

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

This show is connected to perhaps the most popular movie series of all time

Spoiler:

And we must NEVER speak of it.

Spoiler:

And while it technically isn't a series, with it's 2.4 user rating on IMDb, it earned its place here anyway.

Damn, I figured going with something mentioned in the game was a sure winner. And the episodes I saw were pretty mediocre.

My previous answer for the show was Kai. I think I saw part of an episode in the late '90s -- I just remember that Kai was undead and something about serving a shadow.

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

Star Trek, in its many iterations, is not always well loved...

Spoiler:


But with its 7 seasons and 7.7 user rating on IMDb, it seems that a lot of people liked this one significantly more than The Cow did.

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

There are 10 players whose answers are yet to be revealed, and yet there are only two answers which scored matches, but slams are still in play!

One of the scoring answers is yet another iteration of Star Trek, and the other featured the effects of award winning SFX artist Stan Winston

Spoiler:


The Trek series ran for 4 seasons (the least of any of the spin off's) and has a 7.5 user rating on IMDb

The other series ran 1 season on NBC and has a 6.6 user rating on IMDb.

Spoiler:

And if we've leared anything from these ratings, it's that Sci-Fi fans seem to overrate almost everything, including the Holiday Special.

Spoiler:


Spoiler:

Star Trek: Enterprise
Damfino -2
NORML54601 -2


And that means that the big winner is...

Spoiler:

Abob Teff {sd} -6

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

Congrats to majorjoe23 on the win! Hope everyone enjoyed the game, despite the lack of leadership changes (during the portion of the game that I ran, anyway).

And best wishes to GhostLee, wherever he is!

Man, Homeboys in Outer Space showed up twice. Just not for the same question.

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

Well, my takeaway from this game is that there was a show called "Homeboys in Outer Space".

And I watched a bit of it on YouTube. Just wow.

congrats majorjoe23!

and thanks for picking up the game Obi-Wan!

Xev Bellringer is oddly attractive and makes some interesting porn.

Thanks for starting the game Ghost Lee, where ever you are.

Thanks for stepping in and bringing the game to resolution, Obi-Wan Jabroni! Is this the first Sheep game with co-sheep masters?

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

Was Homeboys in Outer Space a Reverse answer, or just honesty gone too far? I still think LEXX--after getting trashed in the pre-game discussion--should've been a better answer than that.

Congrats to majorjoe!

Thanks for finishing up, OWJ, and come back to us someday, GhostLee!

After I saw the reveal for the Farscape question I just knew that Xev wasn't going to be the sheepy answer (and generic "captain" answers meant I should've gone with Tweedle). Unfortunately "skanky girl" shouldn't match, since more than one skanky girl has been part of the crew (even if only for a brief time). At least I got a match, unlike how I did picking my favorite female character from Farscape.

I'm surprised more people didn't take a stab in the dark and just answer Lexx. Because it's a correct answer (Lexx is the ship, but also a living creature and technically part of the crew too).

So no one picked Outer Limits, even though it was the subject of an earlier question?

Of course Doctor Who is the sheep answer. How could I not have thought of it (I was bouncing between Quantum Leap and Lost).

I knew it wouldn't be a good sheep answer, but I couldn't resist sharing the "right" answer:
