Did y’all notice the contestants played the game old-school, taking the board almost sequentially? Weird. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > I had yesterday’s Final Jeopardy spoiled. I went to the J-Archive site to look for something, and the front page already had that day’s FJ clue visible, except I didn’t realize it was for the show that would be on that evening. I read the clue and said “who is Checkov?” I did the exact same thing. Then, later, watching the episode, I resisted the urge to act like I knew the FJ answer (I would have had no clue had I not stumbled upon it earlier). mmm ---

I saw the clue and said, “I’m going to kick myself when I see the question,” because I was 12 in 1967 and watching plenty of TV. And _Star Trek_ was my favorite show. And I read _The Making of Star Trek_ (50 years ago). And I couldn’t come up with the response. 🤦 ---

I missed Chekhov too. Not proud of that. However, seems I am in good company. ---

I’m really surprised this one was so difficult; a triple stumper on the show and at least five here who missed it. I thought it was almost obvious. The year was about right for _Star Trek_, and I’d read that Chekov was introduced in order to show a Russian character among the crew. ---

Time Is On My Side is not a Rolling Stones lyric. It’s a Jerry Ragovoy lyric. ---

I saw the Rolling Stones lyrics category and thought, man, I would run that category top to bottom. Then, of course, I blanked on a couple of them even though I’m very familiar with the songs. Reason #64 that you have not seen me on Jeopardy. mmm ---

The year was about right for _Star Trek_, and I’d read that Chekov was introduced in order to show a Russian character among the crew. I’m yet another for the “guessed Ilya, not Chekov” list. I think there may have been something in all our minds along the lines of ‘who was first’ (and Ilya definitely came before Pavel—though NOT in the right year for the clue, of course). ---

Pavel Andreievich, to be exact. His full name was mentioned in “The Way to Eden” (the notorious Space Hippies episode). ---

> [@MrAtoz](#): > > Pavel Andreievich, to be exact. His full name was mentioned in “The Way to Eden” (the notorious Space Hippies episode). - That’s right. (There has been some criticism over the years that ‘white guy’ Chekov was given a first name during the run of the show, while the ‘ethnic’ characters Uhura and Sulu were not. Of course they did acquire first names in the course of the movie follow-ups to the series.) ---

The only thing I know about King Lear is that it begins with Lear dividing his kingdom into 3 parts. So I got that triple stumper.
