Xben is one hundred percent correct.

Go ahead.

Actually, 200%. (Because of the double post...)

Bump.

Xben has not been here at all since May.

I say it's a free board - someone can ask a new set of questions.

1. Clyde Wynant was the character referred to in the title of what famous book?

2. Who were the six (named) bounty hunters Darth Vader sent after Han Solo in The Empire Strikes Back?

3a. 'Sweet Home Alabama', by Lynyrd Skynyrd, was an answer song to what other two songs?
3b. 'Sweet Home Alabama' had an answer song of its own, of sorts. What was it?

Well, it's quite shocking to see that I basically killed this thread when I stopped posting on this board last year. I thought I'd give a go at reviving it, at least once.

So first, to answer Matthew E's questions (shamelessly admitting that I looked them all up)
1. The Thin Man
2. Boba Fett, Dengar, IG-88, Bossk, 4-LOM, Zuckuss
3a.Alabama and Southern Man by Neil Young
3b. Play it All Night Long by Warren Zevon

Then three new questions, which I think might be pretty easy to see if things get jump-started:
1. What country boasts the oldest national flag that is still in use?

2. Who is the second actor to play the Doctor (from Doctor Who) on television to have his name in the opening credits of an official (generally considered canon) Doctor Who television story?

3. What do Lightning Lad, Duo Damsel, Timber Wolf, and Wildfire have in common?

1. Denmark

2. Patrick Troughton

3. They all "died" in one version or another.

1. Denmark is correct
2. Patrick Troughton is not correct, unless you can show me otherwise. I don't know that he ever had his name in the opening credits of a Doctor Who story
3. Did Timber Wolf ever die? I guess they thought he did off-panel once. And come to think of it, all of the others have been believed to be dead but turned out not to be at one point or another (if you count silver age Lightning Lad). But that's not what I was thinking of. I guess there are a lot of things those four names could have in common, so I'll add a couple more that also share the link: Chameleon, Sir Prize, and Leviathan. By the way, I guess this only works if we discount the Adult Legion stories. Sorry, pretty weak link, it seems.

1. Denmark
2. David Tennant? I do recall that other than story authors, no one got opening credit mentions in the olden days.
3. All lost and regained their powers?

1. Yes
2. No, although you are beginning to think along the right lines
3. Again, not what I was thinking of. Because this connection is a bit "loose", I'll list every Legionairre that I can think of that qualifies: Lighting Lad, Polestar, Duo Damsel, Marvel Lad, Element Lad, Sir Prize, Light Lass, Miss Terious, Queen Projectra, Timber Wolf, Wildfire, Live Wire, Leviathan, Alchemist, Apparition, Gossamer, Triad, Inferno, Chameleon, Live Wire (again), Leviathan (again), Virus, Braniac 5.1, M'Onel, Ferro. There, that's a pretty big list, but it should make the connection pretty easy.

1. Denmark

2. Would that have been Christopher Eccleston? Assuming that the one shot American movie counts as official canon.

3. All have other code names?

1. Yes

2. No. The American movie does generally count as official canon, and also during the original series, none of the actors had their names in the opening credits, but still Christopher Eccleston is not the second actor to play Doctor Who in canon to have his name in the opening credits of a canon Doctor Who television story

3. I'm going to call this one "close enough" because I'm decided I'm not thrilled with my question. The actual answer is that they were all the second code name the characters were shown to have (Lightning Boy, Triplicate Girl, Lone Wolf, and ERG-1) being the first ones.

1) Denmark

2) Paul McGann (thinking being that Slyvester McCoy presumably also had an opening credit before McGann got his in the same credits)

3) Second code names.

1. Yes
2. No, but now you're a lot closer
3. Yes

1. Denmark

2. I'm going with a wild guess and saying David Tennant.

3. Second code names.

1. Yes
2. No (Someone already guessed Tennant actually)
3. Yes

1. Denmark
2. Sylvester McCoy?
3. Second code names.

1. Denmark
2. Tom Baker
3. Second Code names

1. Yes
2. Sylvester McCoy - He was billed a few names after Paul McGann in the 1996 TV Movie, for playing the "Old Doctor" (or the seventh Doctor for all of us in the know.)
3. Yes

So, Kent Shakespeare, take it away!

cool! I'll post a new set hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday at the latest).

1. What influential socialist leader of the early 20th century was born in one English-speaking nation, but has statues dedicated to him in two other English-speaking nations (including the United States)?

2. What fictional character lost a series of lovers to bizarre fates (a falling satellite killed one) and believed a curse was the cause?

3. Besides being celebrities, what do the following people compose a complete set of?
Joan Baez, Anne Hathaway, 50 Cent, Rob Reiner and Phoebe Cates
