James Doohan was in an episode of Twilight Zone with an actress who would later play an important role on Dallas. Name her.
Thought I corrected that–the phone already changed it once.
Complete these lines in Plan 9 from Outer Space: “Imagine a ____ __ _________ is your Sun” and “Now go on. Take off into your _____ _____ ___________.”
One of the actors featured in ***Robinson Crusoe on Mars ***would go on to become an iconic TV star of the '60s. Name him.
A really hard one: What is the SF connection between Mr Ed, Star Trek, and Family Affair?
Easy one: On Star Trek, what did the various fixtures on the walls of the Enterprise’s corridors consist of?
The star of the *British *show Police Surgeon also had a featured role on a SF series. Name the actor, the character, and the series.
Ian Hendry, who was the credited star of the first season of The Avengers, playing Doctor David Keel. Bit of a stretch, since the show didn’t have any science fiction in it until the 4th season, but I couldn’t resist the similarity.
Yes. It’s fantasy, too.
Although your country of origin correction is correct, your answer is wrong. Ian Hendry was the star of the greatest SF TV show ever made: The Adventures of Don Quick.
(OK, maybe not the greatest :))
Okay I’ll bite. Who is is Geoffrey Avalon?
There is a character by that name in the Black Widowers stories by Asimov. These are usually not fantasy or science fiction. Is it that the character is loosely based on L. Sprague de Camp?
No correction intended. There were two different shows called Police Surgeon.
Yes. de Camp wrote both fantasy and SF (In fact, he wrote The Science Fiction Writer’s Handbook).
If you think the fact that the Asimov stories are themselves mysteries, and not themselves SF/Fantasy, and therefore don’t qualify for this trivia test, then you and I have different standards for what constitutes Appropriate Material, and you probably wouldn’t like the one about Austin Carter, either.
“According to Tolkien (in some of his earliest writings on the topic), which two Vala were most sympathetic to, and often aligned with Melko?”
Makar and his sister Meássë
If that’s your standard, then you might as well ask trivia questions about Half a Sixpence.
And I’ve no idea who Austin Carter is.
Besides the Jules Verne novel alluded to above, a submarine figures prominently in a fourth literary work by Verne, as well. Name it.
Sorry. I had never heard of the Canadian show. I didn’t realize you were proposing a parallel question.
Ian Hendry is a great answer to a SF trivia question. He was also a star of the SF movie * Doppelgänger.* (Mr Hendry’s selection process for work was somewhat impaired.)
On the cover of Action Comic #1, Superman is depicted for the first time. What is he lifting?
The third would be Master of the World. What’s the fourth?
In 2001: A Space Odyssey, on what date did HAL first become operational, and what does HAL stand for?
[spoiler]The correct reply to the first question is “in the book, or in the movie?” HAL became operational on January 12th; 1992 in the movie, 1997 in the book.
The second question is easier, Heuristically Programmed ALgorithmic Computer.[/spoiler]
Would that be Suzanne Cupito, by any chance?
On 3rd Rock from the Sun, when Dick meets the Big Giant Head, they discover that they have an unusual experience in common. What was it?
