**Object of the game:**  
Give the most popular answer for each category.

**Rules:**

1. **No reading the thread before answering.** This is on the honor system.
2. Formatting rules must be followed (see below).
3. Joke answers will not be considered, as it is not fair to other players.
4. Google (etc.) is allowed, if you desire.
5. The game will end with 50 entrants, or when I get time to score it.
6. There is no Rule 6.
7. Special Rules for this particular Feud: None

**Formatting rules:**  
To make semi-automated scoring possible, and my job easier, make you post look exactly like this:

1. answer
2. answer
3. answer
4. answer

No double spacing, no smilies, no “list” function, no urls, no periods, no quote marks, and no punctuation if it is not necessary. Put “pass” if you want to leave an answer blank. If you feel you must qualify your answer, do it AFTER THE LIST!  
If you don’t format like this, your answers might be DISQUALIFIED.

**Scoring:**  
With 50 entrants, an answer with a match is worth 2x the number of people matching it. If 4 people match, they each get 8 points for that answer. No matches = 0 points.  
Formula: Score = 100 / (# of entrants) x (# of matches)

Good luck!

If any of you have ideas for Feuds -and would like me to score them- PM me. If anyone wants to run their own Feud, feel free. I will help any way I can.

**Read the rules!  
Special Rules for this particular Feud: None**

1. Name a science fiction movie or show that came out before 1970.
2. Name a science fiction movie or show that came out after 1970.
3. Name a science fiction book that was made into a movie.
4. Name a friendly alien who comes in peace.
5. Name an evil alien who comes to conquer Earth.
6. Name a hero/heroine in a science fiction story (book or movie)
7. Name a robot in a science fiction story (book or movie).
8. Name a space ship used in a science fiction story.
9. Name an actor who was typecast after appearing in a science fiction movie or TV show.
10. The Death Star takes on the Enterprise. Who wins?

Notes:  
3: I don’t care how many points they get, I refuse to answer _Starship Troopers_ or _I, Robot_ for this one.  
5: I’m assuming the question wants a name of an individual, rather than just a species or a story, which makes this one harder.  
7: I really wanted to say R. Daneel Olivaw, but I’m pretty sure Data will score better.  
9: He’s said in interviews that his dream role would be in a romantic comedy or something where he could wear jeans.  
10: Conch, and it’s not even close. It should have been a star destroyer vs. the Enterprise.
