Here it is once again.

How it works: If you answer the question correctly, you get to ask the next question. When this thread gets really long and you're just joining us here on the boards, you don't have to read all of the posts unless you want to. Just go to the last page and find out what the current question is. Enjoy!

First question: How many ties does Clark wear in Sex, Lies, and Videotape?

~Anna

I make an arbitrary guess of four :p

Pretty close, but nope. Keep guessing!

~Anna

As far as I remember I we only see him wear a suit once so I'm gonna guess one tie

One isn't right either. Is it time for a hint?

~Anna

Ok, close to 4, not 1...I'm gonna take a wild guess at 3? Although I'll probably go home tonight and watch the whole episode on fast forward just to find out for myself. <G>

Jill

Well, I just zipped thru it and discovered that Jill is right w/ 3. A brown one (monochromatic!), a black one with gold diamond outlines, and a brown-and-blue one.

The other thing I discovered is that I like that episode better at that speed (last 3 minutes at regular speed). :rolleyes:

LOL Rivka! Yes, Jill is right. I'd been waiting for her to come back and saying that she'd watched it in fast forward and then give us a new question. Making her do that would have been more fun than simply posting that she was right. :insert angel gremlin here:

You're up, Jill!

~Anna

Ok, mine's gonna be easy, cuz I'm stuck and school and can't search my tapes for a hard one right now! But I promise the next time I get to come up with a question, I will be

Phosphorous

(which makes NO sense, btw)

Phosphorus!

[Edit] Ack! Denied! Good job rivka!

-Breanna

So now it's my turn, huh?

Carol (of Bob & Carol) knew Lois liked eclairs. What else did she have on that list? Name at least 5. Bonus points for the really weird ones!

Oh, man! I actually copied that list once as research for a story, but do you think I could find it now that I need it? No.

I'm cheating and actually watching the episode - so I've got it paused on that list right now:

Baked Meatloaf
Jellied Madrilene (don't know what the heck this is...)
Double Loin Lamb Chops Vert Pre
Spring Chicken
Fresh Fruit Supreme
Smoked Salmon
Crab Meat Cocktail
Creamed Holland Herring
Bluepoint Oysters on Ice
Little Neck Clams on Ice
Cold Mulligatawny with Apple (again, don't know what the heck it is)
Soup or Consomme Du Jour
Chicken Cacciatore

Looks like I killed the Trivia Quiz...Someone go watch 'The Phoenix' in slow motion - Vale's ID number is on his prison jumper.

Jill

Looks like I really did kill this quiz, so I'll give the answer: 35751

Now, I need someone else to ask the next question, cuz I'm stuck at school studying and come up with anything right now.

Jill

What did Miranda name the pheremone perfume in Pheremone, My love?

"Revenge"...I guess my turn now so...an easy one
"What's Lois favorite TV show?"

The Ivory Tower! that was easy too

Cyad???? are you around???? Am I right?

Since this topic doesn't seem to be moving anywhere I'll just post a question. In the episode Virtually Destroyed what were all the reasons that Lois stated to X (aka Jaxon Xavier Luthor) so he could be weakened in order to allow Superman and Jimmy to overpower him to get the escape window to return to reality?

LOIS
Lex probably thought of you as a
mistake. And he was never very
good at acknowledging mistakes.

KOMBAT
Shut up! I am not a mistake!

And slowly Kombat begins to MORPH, shrinking in size...

LOIS
He kept you around so he wouldn't
feel too guilty but he never told
anyone you were his son, did he?
Never said he was proud of all the
work you did for his company?
Never gave you his name? In fact,
he told people you were dead!

... Kombat getting smaller, thinner...

SUPERMAN
No wonder you like it in here. You
can shut all that out, pretend it
never happened.

LOIS
It _did_ happen and no matter where
you run, you can't hide what you
really are.

Wow I feel so cheap by posting the straight up script LOL.

Oh boy, this means I have to think up a question huh? Oh...I don't know...who all did Annette shrink in It's a Small World?

Clark was one and bummer! I can't remember the other!

Was it Dick? OH! I can't remember now....

The four people Annette Westman shrank in It's a Small World After All were Debbie Malloy, Les Barrish, Dick Keaton, and Clark Kent...

Melisma (slinking shyly back under her Rock)

Bumpkin...well yeah, I'm around, and you're right about that...nice to see you there Marns!

And yep, it was a real easy question (blame it on my non-often-showing-softy side;) I didn't want to scare you out, LOL)

Carole

Ok...does this mean Melisma is next?

was she right?

-Breanna

Oh yeah. And ps, this sounds really stupid but I'm assuming she's right because I acutally asked a question I didn't know the answer to.

So let 'er rip, Melisma!

Jen

LOL, Jen We teachers have learned from hard experience - never ask a question you don't know the answer to...

As to my trivia question - I am on the run to class right now, so give me an hour or so to finish that class, and look up a trivia question. Then I'll post it for you

Melisma (dashing out of her Rock to get to class)

Okay, where's the question, Mel?

LabRat (enjoying getting the chance to nag Mel for a change. )

Sorry you guys... Took me a while to find something, and then RL bit...

Okay. So can anyone tell me where Jimmy was born, and the first and last names of his family doctor?

Melisma (settling back under her Rock to watch the fun)

Jimmy was born in Metropolis but I don't remember the names of his doctor.

No he wasn't, CB. Try again.

Oh, and I forgot - please don't cut and paste right from the script, even if you do look up the answer there

Melisma (under her Rock, not telling you *which* script to look in )

Dr. Alan Frost was Jimmy's doctor, and he was born at Fort Truman when his dad was stationed there. Though since we don't know where Fort Truman was, I think it's safe to say it has a Metropolis address, since in "Never On Sunday", I'm pretty sure Jimmy says that he was born "right here in Metropolis".

Kathy (who just realized that, assuming this is the answer Mel is looking for, I need to come up with a question -- eek! )

Very good, KathyB - you're up next. Boy, you sure know your trivia!

Melisma (giggling at what she *could* have said, here under her Rock )

Thanks, Mel. Here's my question ... not too tough.

Which episodes did Dean Cain's mother guest star in, and what roles did she play?

Kathy (who had another question in mind, but couldn't find verification of the answer in the script she thought it was in, so figured it was better to go with the sure thing rather than ask a question that might have been all in her mind. )

Okay, Kathy, can you give me one more clue? I forget what Dean's mom's name is...

Thanks!

Melisma (slithering back under her Rock)

Can't remember the title in english (I guess it's green glow from home, but I'm not sure).

anyway, Sharon Thomas (I guess it's Dean's mum's name) guest starred in that episode where Lois is Lucky enough to see what Smallville Corn festival could be like

It's the ep where Wayne Irig finds kryptonite in a field and Trask installs his Bureau 39 HQ in Smallville...and Lois tries on cowboy boots and a real "we're in Smallville" dress...and where Clark wins her the Clarkie bear

Carole (you can sue me for babbling and uncoherent thoughts)

Just idly curious <G>, but is there a reason for this, Mel?

LabRat

Oh, and Dean's Mom guested as Maisie in GGGOH, the woman fighting with Lois for a Space Rat in SG, and the nun in JSN.

LabRat (who hopes she got those acronyms right. )

I personally find it harder to determine if the person has the right answer if they post the script verbatim, Lab. I mean, a couple of the questions on this thread and a couple other quiz/quote/etc threads, the person just went to the script, cut and pasted about a page or so which contained the answer they wanted to give, and assumed that they got the question right. I'm not so smart as that! I'm a teacher; you have to give me a simple straight answer to the question so I can give you a check mark or a big red X, ya know - with 7 classes, containing 20 or 21 students each, I'd be correcting all day if I had to read a script for each question... Colour me stupid, I guess...

That, plus the two questions were not in the same location of the script in question - you give me a page of script for each part, we'd overload the server in a hurry.

That's my reasoning, and I'm sticking with it for now And anyway, Kathy got the question right, so I'm off to see if I can answer hers now...

Melisma (under her Rock, wondering if she even made any sense there!)

Well, it makes sense to me because personally I'd find it quicker and easier to just type a line of text in answer than try and cut and paste a section of script.

Just wondered if I'd missed something along the way that prohibited it for technical reasons or something.

LabRat

LabRat got it right! Sharon Thomas had a guest appearance in three episodes --

In Season 1, "Green Green Glow of Home", playing Maisie ("With Clark, what you see is what you get!")

In Season 2, "Seasons Greedings" (which Dean also wrote!), playing a woman who battled Lois for the space rat in the toy store

and in Season 3, "Just Say Noah", playing the nun in whose car Superman saves the toys meant for an orphanage ("Superman is a national treasure!")

Too bad she didn't go four for four and play something in the last season.

LabRat, you're up!

Kathy

Oh whew, I'm glad you're okay with it, Lab - I was afraid you were thinking that I was just being arbitrary and out to spoil the fun of those who *like* to cut and paste whole sections. No, not a general rule, just a personal request

Melisma (breathing easier here under her Rock)

Oh, gosh. I keep forgetting that answering questions means you have to come up with one of your own.

Okay, let's think...

...still thinking...

Um....

Okay, mind's gone a complete blank now. Bear with me, I'll get back to you later in the day. :rolleyes:

Okay, back. And still thinking...

What was the name of Sheldon Bender's boat in The Phoenix?

Sorry, best I could come up with.


LabRat

Wasn't it the 'Sue You' or something like that...I'll go home and check my tape. One of my favorite eps anyway, so definitely not in the realm of hardship.

Jill

Darn it, I was too slow! Jill is right, it's definitely the "Sue You". Lois rolls her eyes at it as she reads it off the side of the boat. I know because I watched this episode over and over while plotting WLBM. Not exactly torture, I'll tell ya. <g>

Hmm, maybe that's why I'm dragging my feet on getting started with WMBE ... watching Resurrection over and over might be a bit too much to ask, even in the name of fanfic.

Kathy

Sorry this is off-topic, but you're writing a sequel, Kathy? Or I should say another sequel? Cool.

What does WMBE stand for?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. At this juncture I could get all pedantic and say - not exactly.

But, I'll refrain. Though I was quite amused by the fact that it was spelled Sue U. <G>

Jill, you're up!

LabRat

D'oh! You're right, Labbie, it is the "Sue U". Well, at least I got it right in my story, even if my memory failed on the spelling.

Whew. Had to go check, just in case. <g>

And yes, me, there will be a third story in the trilogy. The titles of the three stories are "When Friends Become Lovers", "When Lovers Become More", and "When More Becomes Everything". Hmm, I sense a pattern ... Can't give an estimated date, though, unfortunately. The story is all plotted and outlined, but I need to finish up another couple short stories first, so I probably won't be able to start actually writing it until later this year. With as slow as I write, let's hope for 2004.

Kathy (not hijacking the thread for fanfic discussion, just showing that I'm eagerly waiting Jill's next question. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!)

Oops! Sorry, guys, I got distracted with studying and forgot that I'd even answered this. :p

New question:

Where did Jonathan order the take-out from at the end of Chi of Steel?

I know it's random, but it's all I could come up with right now, unless you want questions about the clotting cascade from my Pathology book.

Jill (who went back and re-read WLBM last night to find the 'Sue U' bit...no, I wasn't putting off studying, it was research I tell you, RESEARCH!)

House of Hunan (not sure on the spelling there...)

Martha said there was too much garlic :p

-Breanna

Yup, yup! That was it, Breanna! She would've prefered if he'd gotten it from the Szechwuan Palace though. <g>

Your turn!

Jill

Hey...sorry all...I've been sick.

Let's see...

In which episode did someone have a mid-life crisis, and what did they do about it?

-Breanna

In Vatman, Perry got himself a hairpiece and started doing dangerous things, such as the bungee jump near the end (where he lost the rug )

Right you are, Roger!

(and sorry about the gender mistake earlier :p )

Your turn!

-Breanna

In the episode, "And the Answer Is...," it's Martha's and Jonathan's anniversary. What did each give as a present to the other? What was inside Martha's gift to Jonathan, and how did Jonathan give his gift to Martha?

Hm, I believe it's time to make a wild guess, but even if it's wrong, it'll probably lead someone else in the right direction because I'm too lazy to look up the exact answer. Here's my guess.

Martha gave Jonathan some carved wooden box, and it had like a stone for each year of their marriage or something. And I think Jonathan gave Martha a book on Italian, and inside the book were plane tickets to Italy....

Pretty close. Jonathan initially got her a gift certificate to CostMart (which Martha wasn't too enthusiastic about), which could be used to buy a book that's in Italian. After mentioning the book was in Italian, Jonathan said that he hoped they would learn some Italian by the time they got back from Rome (as he handed her the plane tickets). Martha called her gift a memory box.

Good memory! Your turn!

Hmm let's see...What's Alan Morris' new job after the end of the whole invisible man fiasco?

Jen

Head of Research and Development for Luthor Industries... <g>

Yup, yup. VP of R & D. (See folks I picked a question I knew the answer to this time! )

Good job Marns, you're up!

Jen

hmmm....

What was used to blind Clark in the Ep TEHI, and what was the cure? Best I could think of at the moment...

er...an ultra-violet laser shot of some and the cure was infra red.

Cyad, you got it

Since Cyad doesn't seem to be responding I'll post a queastion to get this post moving again. In the episode Contact Lois was reading a book about alien abductions and how psychics can read the minds of people who have been abducted a lot more clearly than those who haven't. What did she say about that and what didthe book tell her to do to prevent Star from reading her mind?

Well, I don't remember exactly what Lois said, but she was worried about Star finding out about Clark. And she put aluminum foil on her head to prevent Star from reading her mind. <g>

Caroline

Yep that's it! You're up!

Sorry I was too slow in coming up with a new question... and thanks for moving this post forward Craze Babe!

Now, shoot a new question please!

Carole

Hmmm... Okay. Who was Lois trying to get an interview with in the beginning of the Pilot? Easy question.

Caroline

Lex Luthor

Yup! hehe. Your turn.

In When Irish Eyes Are Killing what was Lois' reaction to Clark telling her that Patrick's father was in an insane asylum for the criminally insane and that Patrick was probably also behind the speight of robberies of ancient artefacts?

off the top of my head... she said that he was jealous... or i could be wrong

She said that Patrick's father had... argh I can't remember, but she told him what was medically wrong with his father and said that Patrick had told her "all about it"

She didn't come out and say that he was jealous at that point in time, but what she had said implied that she thought he was jealous also Caroline was right when she told him the story Patrick told her I'll give a tie either of you can come up with the next question.

Who played Jor-El in "The Foundling."?

Ooh! Can I play? It was David Warner.

It sure is! Your turn!

Cool! *does happy dance* Hmmm, thinking of a question is hard!

What was Lois's high school's mascot?

I'm guessing it's a lion, since that's where the whole SNOIL Exterminating came from.

Yup! Your turn!

In the first season episode, "The Rival," what were the two unusual things about the byline for L&C's expose article on Preston Carpenter at the end? For bonus points, what was the headline of the article?

I haven't got the slightest idea of the title, nor the two unusual things...but doesn't have one to do with "with the help of Linda King"...I know Linda was mentionned somewhere.

Maybe Clark's name went first??? That's the only unusual thing I can think of.


Jen

Cyad said:
Jen said:
Between the two of you, you got it. The unusual byline read:

1. by Clark Kent and Lois Lane
2. Special contribution by Linda King

The title of the article was just bonus, but the title was "New Age Kane Nipped in Bud."

If memory serves, this may be the only mentioned case where Clark's name went first in the byline.

You can decide between the two of you who wants to post the next question.

Carole can go for it if she wants. Picking questions aren't my forte.

Jen

Thanks Jen. Well, I'm not that good at picking up questions either but, I'll give it a try:

The same Daily Planet front page was used in two L&C episodes. Name of both eps and for a bonus, subject of the article shown.

Good luck, it's not an easy one,

Carole

Hmm, that was something about spraying for fruit flies... and it was, I think, in Neverending Battle and Pheremone, My Lovely.

PJ

You got it Pam!

Never Ending Battle? I was more thinking of Madame Ex and Pheromone My lovely.

Is it possible it was used three times? Now I wonder...

Okay, your turn

Carole

Well, apparently it was a popular prop... or maybe I was remembering wrong <g> Wouldn't be the first time!

And, um, it's my turn? Okay...

When and why did Clark say "they're out of three-hole paper"?

PJ

Hey Carole, wasn't that article also used in one of the Prankster eps? If I'm not mistaken, the paper Perry was holding up looking through was about the fruit fly infestation, too.

Coming back to attempt answer Pam's question... Was it during The Source, when Clark comes to catch up with Lois when she's snooping around Viologic(sp?)? He uses the excuse to explain why he's suddenly there...

Episode: Contact

They are investigating Bob Fences, and Lois asks him to listen in and see if he can hear anything...

the only clear thing he can get is that they are out of three hole paper.

-Breanna

You've got it, Breanna! That line cracks me up every time; I'm just an office-supply geek I guess

Your turn!

PJ

Duh! I knew that!

SQD,

yeap, you're right about that...seems I'm not that good with picking up "good questions"...<g>

Carole

Ok...new question:

Who tries to buy the Planet from Franklin Stern, in which episode, and for the heck of it, do they succeed?

-Breanna

Multiworld Communications, subsidiary of Intergang, tries to buy the Daily Planet in "Individual Responsibility." They fail.

There's also another time. In "Faster Than a Speeding Vixen," Leslie Luckaby successfully buys the Planet from Stern.

Good job Me!

your turn (oh...and who was running multiworld? )

-Breanna

In answer to Breanna's other question, Bill Church, Jr. is in charge of Intergang/Multiworld at the time.

In the episode, "The Green, Green Glow of Home," Clark wins a bear for Lois by ringing the bell. On the strength scale, five of the seven statuses are visible with the very top being Superman if you successfully ring the bell (second from the bottom and second from the top cannot be seen). What are three of the other four statuses? Bonus points if you can name all four.

HINT: Clark tries to swing the mallet four times.

Roger, this question has been about to drive me crazy! I finally had to go dig out my tape and see if I could come up with the answer. If my prescription hasn't run out on my glasses, I saw: Wimp, Lumber Jack, Muscle Man, and Hero Rules. Now hurry and tell me if we saw the same thing!

You were close.

They were:

Superman
?
Hercules
Muscle Man
Lumber Jack
?
Wimp

But since I only asked for 3/4, you got it! Guess this one was tougher than I thought.

I find it funny that there's supposed to be something between Hercules and Superman. What would that be? (Hercules is sandwiched between the scores 4400 and 4700, while Superman is above the 4800 score).

You're next!

P.S. My recordings come from DirecTV (MPEG2) recorded to a DirecTV version of TiVo (no loss of quality since the signal is saved directly instead of a standard D->A->D conversion), transferred to DVD via S-Video sans commercials, so the quality of the video I have is pretty darn good, so that makes it much easier to read the words. The toughest one I saw to read was Lumber Jack.

I was watching "Target: Jimmy Olsen!" the other day and I noticed that when Lois covered up Dan's ugly lips and eyes "mobile" that the newspaper also had a headline below the fold about "Fruit Fly Spraying." Seems they use this prop a lot. Either that or Metropolis has a really nasty ongoing fruit fly problem.

Answering the questions was a lot more fun than trying to come up with another one. How about this one? What was the first episode in which we saw Star? The last? And how many in between? Can you name them all?

I know, too easy....

But I'm running off to make sure of the answer!

I can name the first... Contact.

Then she was also in... Just Say Noah, Never on a Sunday, when Iresh eyes are killing,

She first appeared in Contact, then in When Irish Eyes Are Killing, then in Just Say Noah, then Never On Sunday was the last. Just to get the order in there.

Bumpkin, Skitz, those are the ones I came up with, too. Since you answered first, Bumpkin, I guess it's your turn.

Whoohoo I won!! Okay, now what to ask? You know when you answer these, the fact that you have to come up with the next question never seems to cross your mind...

Which was the first episode that we met Dr Klein, and why did we meet him? Plus who were we introduced to him as?

I can't resist...

We first met Dr. Klein in Don't Tug on Superman's Cape, because there had been a break-in at STAR labs. Tim & Amber Lake had stolen kryptonite -- clues indicated Bad Brain Johnson, but I can't remember if he was dead by then or not. Clark was there as Superman, and Lois told him off for keeping kryptonite around so that bad guys would have it available to point right at his thick head. (I think that earlier hero-worship phase has well worn off by now )

PJ
This ep is very very high on my list of favorite L&C eps

Pam you got it except for what was odd about it, he was not Bernard Klein in that ep, but Prestone or something Klein... (it's in the script <g>)

If they didn't say it onscreen, it doesn't count!

And since I'll be away from my computer most of the weekend, I'll let someone else jump in with a new question...

PJ

Okay I'll come up with the question, in ATAI... Lois and Clark arrive at work the next day after Lois finds out that Clark's parents have been kidnapped wearing ths same clothes, what does Perry think they did they did the previous night?

Perry thinks they eloped, but Lois was the only one wearing the same clothes. Clark had changed into a suit, whereas the night before he was wearing all black... Very nice looking I might add, too.

Yep you are right and I apologis for that mix up I haven't seen the show in a long time!

Not sure if this is a valid question, but I thought it would be fun...

Name at least three arguments Lois and Clark had? Who came out on top?

Bonus: How about three between Lois and Superman?

1. Pilot ep. where Clark calls Lois a snob, and Lois tells Clark her three rules-- and says her date with Luthor is business. Lois wins.

2. Witness ep. where Lois and Clark are arguing about how many times Clark saved her life that day. Lois wins again.

3. I've Got a Crush on You ep. where Lois and Clark are arguing about what Clark should have done instead of blowing her cover. Clark wins.

1. Obviously there's Barbarians at the Planet (I think that's the right ep.) where Superman goes to Lois's apartment and Lois tells him she loves him, and he shoots her down. Superman wins that one. I'm not sure if that was really an argument though... *ponders*

2. We Have a Lot to Talk About, when Superman saves Lois from the bomb, and she accuses him of taking more time since she answered his proposal. I think Lois wins that one...

3. Don't Tug on Superman's Cape when Lois finds out that STAR Labs had been keeping kryptonite and Superman/Clark never told her about it. I don't think either one won that one... Do these count since Lois already knew Clark was Superman?

You're too good, Blayne. I like those answers, though I could add a couple...

Ides of Metropolis--Lois and Clark fight about her harboring a fugitive... Lois wins.

The Rival--Argue about Linda King... I don't know if there was a clear winner there.

Chip Off the Old Clark--the biggest portion of that episode seemed to be an argument... It was just a little silly, but totally something any given woman would have done in Lois' place.

As for Lois vs. Superman:

WHALTTA--He gets mad over her refusal of his proposal... Though I believe that could go both ways. She also fought with Clark over that one.

IASWAA--They argue Clark's size... and determine they're both stubborn.

Gosh, this is fun! I could go on and on. But I won't. Your turn!!!!

Ok I've never done this before, but I think this is a pretty easy one... Name two characters who weren't played by the same actor throughout the whole series. For example, the most obvious one would be Jimmy, who was changed from Michael Landes in the first season, to Justin Whalin in the rest of the series. The ones I'm thinking of weren't stars of the show though.

Oh! Ching and Lucy Lane! I really had to rack my brain for that second one. I like the second girl that played Lucy better than the pilot one, if I'm right.

Jen

I just wanted to add both of Lois' parents were not played by the same people. Jen got it first.

Sam Lane was originally played by Denis Arndt in "Requiem for a Superhero," but was played by Harve Presnell the rest of the way.

Ellen Lane was originally played by Phyllis Coates in "House of Luthor," but was played by Beverly Garland for the rest of the series.

So this means all of Lois' family changed on her. No wonder she had such a tough family life.

Oh, no kidding. I didn't remember they changed fathers on her.

Okie dokie, time for a question...hmm...ok. I'm sure this is an easy one for the plot-happy folks (folcs) but I'm too lactosed to think straight, plus I'm kind of curious anyway just because I don't remember. Where did that mysterious rash on Jimmy's arm come from in that season two ep? (If there's an answer to that..)

Jen

It was from Target: Jimmy Olsen I think I'm not quite sure where it came from, but he said that he always got the rash around that time of year.

Okie dokie that'll do.

You're up!

Jen

Oh! I didn't even think it was right it was a wild guess actually. Anyway here goes what was the date that opened the three vaults in that underground bunker that contained Hank West, Lisa Rockford and Steve Law in SuperMann?
