My slam usage sucks. But now that I think of it, most of my other answers would've been bootsies, so I guess that's why I slammed those few.

And it's back on...

One more question, then I'll have to take off for the day.



9. S: Name a science fiction author who has also written for television.

First answer:

Correct, thanks! I had Sarah Connor Chronicles on the brain from the earlier question.

I first thought of Torchwood then decided it was too obvious. I then thought of Misfits but wasn't really sure it was sci-fi because I've never seen it.

Speaking of shows I've never seen....

This writer might have made for a sheepy answer.



These players chose him:

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had to figure into this question, right?

These players got some points too:

Abob Teff -4
The Cow -4
mwbmis {sd} -8

Woo! I'm the greatest sci fi sheep player who ever lived!

My hubris will never let me down!

Well done sheep. I had serious doubts Harlan Ellison would get any votes. He isn't so mainstream famous anymore, but sci-fi fan worth their salt should know him (as the writer of what are widely considered to be the best episodes of Star Trek and The Outer Limits).
