Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Getting the right answer is one half. Being able to explain why it's right is the other half.

Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going.

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
It's been a month. In the absence of the Doctor I'll hijack the thread and ask another question:
Let's have five SF doctors (medical doctors) from five different canons. e.g. if someone selected Doctor Strange (yes, he's a medical doctor though not generally known for that - and no, you can't use him, he's my example) you couldn't use anyone else from the Marvel universe.
