Science Fiction Trivia

I thought mention of purple would give it away... and the sister of that song's writer, Nick Drake, was...



... Gabrielle Drake. Ooohhhh!


The CiSmoFiCo is yours, sir!

[spud42]

now i am really confused.... the song linked was "Dave Harrington Ft. Tamara - Things Behind The Sun " is this correct?

Gabrielle Drake, not entirely unattractive...lol her costume reminded me of Eva Habermann's from Lexx... dream material right there...lol

[DredgerMan]

Correct, but Nick Drake wrote the song.

BUT I learned something yesterday! I never knew that 'Life in a Northern Town' (which I like a lot) was actually a tribute to Nick! It's a small world.

Anyway,

thinking about SF predicting the future, who was the person who was accredited with inventing the term 'Robot' for cyborg and androids?

[Smivs]

The word Robot dates back to 1919/1920. It was the brainchild of the Czech Josef Čapek, and became widely known when it was used by his playwrite brother Karel in a play.

As was Solid Air. Nick Drake was a musical genius - but alas, a tragic genius!

Awesome awesomeness in it's entirety! And so quick!

Ladies, gentlemen and associated lemmings, we have a winner!!!!!!!!!

Smivs, the CismoFiCo is on its way to you with an unclaimed flagon of Ottasmanian Evil Juice in an evil juice resistant bottle! ( Sorry, you need a blow torch to get to it, though).

BUT over to you!!!

[Smivs]

<Fires up the blowtorch...>

Mmmmm, a good vintage

Our question today is about Star Trek pets!
Capt Jean-Luc Picard, Lt Cmdr Data, Lt Reginald Barclay and Capt Jonathan Archer all had named pets.
What species were they (they are all Earth species) and what were their names?

[spud42]

Picard's Lionfish Livingston
Data cat spot
Barclay cat Neelix
Archer beagle porthos
damn i had to do a lot of reading to get barclays pet... never knew he had one... must have missed a few episodes towards the end.

[Smivs]

And there was me thinking the fish was the hard one!
Absolutely right, and well done. Over to you...

[spud42]

ok.... after a sip or three of Evil Juice and a bout of rehab.....

days of future past.
what is the link to a Sci fi tv show and what was the show?

The cigar-smoking fish-coconut is looking for a new owner......

[Cody]

Days of Future Passed is a pretty good album - but unconnected to the clue, methinks.



Meanwhile, there's a big match at Wembley tonight! Pink?

the link goes like this.... band... member....song......show quite direct and simple i thought....

do you need a hint???

[Disembodied]

Could it be Star Cops? The theme song was sung by Justin Hayward from the Moody Blues, who of course made the album Days of Future Passed.

[spud42]
