Re: Science Fiction Trivia
OK, folks, time for a game of Know Your Starships, drawn from across the whole of (film or TV) science fiction. Class and model of this one, please!

I'll narrow things down a bit: it's from a TV show.

It is indeed the Scorpio, kudos to you – but that's its name, not class and model!Smivs wrote:Scorpio, from Blake's 7 ?

OK, next question. Who is quoted here?
“How inappropriate to call this planet "Earth," when it is clearly "Ocean.”

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
OK, I try a difficult one.
There is a more or less hardcore SciFi series which has as one of its main proponents an uplifted pig which basically saves the day many times even though it was a slave and a villain before.
What is the name of the pig and the series it appears in?
