Another picture clue...
Name this robot and the TV series he appeared in. Bonus points if you can also name the man who 'voiced' him.

Robert the Robot, from Fireball XL5.
Voiced I believe by Gerry Anderson himself - sadly also in the news today revealing he has Alzheimers.

Takei is an old meme. As is the Twilight fight.
Is this an OXP in the making?

Having asked a Starship Troopers question just last week, I think that should be Carmen Ibanez?

It never says. Unlike the movie, the book states quite clearly that while Rico and Ibanez were friends, they were not romantically involved. Of course the book also leaves you with the impression, without out-right saying it, that Dizzy Flores was a man.

Yep, and well quoted from the quiz site (just as I did when posing it ).
It's a specific difference between the book and the movie.
Over to you.
