Without Looking It Up (game)

[Kobold King he/him]

WLIU Name 10 times that a Doctor Who companion has died. Yes, you can count the same companion multiple times.

 

 

Major spoilers, so beware.

 

1. Adric in that classic series Cyberman episode.
2. Captain Jack Harkness in The Parting of the Ways.
3. Captain Jack Harkness in Utopia.
4. Captain Jack Harkness in The Sound of Drums.
5. Captain Jack Harkness in The Stolen Earth.
6. River Song in Forest of the Dead.
7. Rory Williams in Amy's Choice.
8. Rory Williams in The Hungry Earth.
9. Amelia Pond in The Angels Take Manhattan.
10. Rory Williams in The Angels Take Manhattan.

 

 

...Wasn't there a recent death I'm overlooking? Eh, I'm sure it'll come to me.

 

 

Name seven different planets the Doctor has landed on.

[+Slowswift]

Gallifrey

Earth

New Earth

Raxacoricofallapatorius

Skaro

Karn

The one with the fish guys from Season 3! I can't remember its name...

 

WLIU, name all of the episodes from Season 8 of Doctor Who.

[Kobold King he/him]

1. Deep Breath
2. Into the Dalek
3. Robots of Sherwood
4. Listen
5. Time Heist
6. The Caretaker
7. Kill the Moon
8. Mummy on the Orient Express
9. Flatline
10. In the Forest of the Night
11. Dark Water
12. Death in Heaven
13. Last Christmas (Christmas special)

 

That's probably not the right order, but fortunately I wasn't told to give them in order. I'm pretty sure that's all of them, though.

 

 

Name eight individual Doctor Who villains. (Meaning specific villainous characters, not entire races.)

Not only is it correct, it actually is in order, as far as I can tell! I actually considered asking for it in order, but that might've been a bit much.

 

Anyways:

1. The Master
2. Rassilon
3. Omega
4. Davros
5. Cassandra
6. The Devil (dunno if that's what he's actually called)
7. The Siren
8. The Fisher King

WLIU, name all the episodes of BBC's Sherlock.

[Elbereth she/her]

1. A Study in Pink

2. The Blind Banker

3. The Great Game

4. A Scandal in Bohemia

5. The Hound of the Baskervilles

6. Fall of the Reichenbach

7. The Empty Hearse

8. The Sign of Three

9. Charles Augustus Magnussen

I'm not totally sure about all of these, and I may have replaced the tv series title with the title of the Doyle short story in some cases. And I'm pretty sure the last one is wrong.

Close enough.  It's Belgravia, not Bohemia, Baskerville, not -villes, Reichenbach Falls, and His Last Vow. But hey, there's worse things to replace them with that the originals!

You didn't give a new challenge, so I'll go ahead and post one to keep the thread alive.

 

 

Without looking it up, give the real names of four Sharders. Only if their names have been made public, of course. Don't go revealing anything confidential.

[little wilson she/her]

Chaos: Eric

FeatherWriter: Alyx

To go outside of staff:

Aradel: Aaron

Wyrm: Ciaran (on my phone so I can't get the accent on the second a)

Kipper: [redacted]

Mailliw: Will

WLIU name 10 Sharders/people with accounts on the site who live in Utah. You cannot name yourself (if you live in Utah).

Edit: Does it help at all if I say that I worded it that way intentionally to give two freebies in the form of people who aren't technically Sharders but have accounts on the site? (*cough*PeterandBrandon*cough*)

[little wilson she/her]

In case anyone wants to fully answer that question, feel free to, but for all else, here is another: Name 15 Brothers of the Night's Watch (GoT). If that's too easy, try 30 :0

Edited December 15, 2015 by Plaeggs

[Plaeggs he/him]

Or not. Just to resurrect this game, name the three dragons of Aegon the Conqueror and his two Sister-Wives, Visenya and Rhaenys. (Kind of a GoT nut, I know. You'll probably have to have read the books in order to get this one)

[Landis963 he/him]

Balerion, Maraxes, Vhagar?  Or am I misordering them (and their kin) somehow?  

 

Without looking them up, name all the mad scientist characters you can, and their stories of origin.  Top 3 above 10 characters gain a rep boost.  

Edited January 1, 2016 by Landis963

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

1. Doctor Victor Frankestein

 He was a dude who loved chemistry and Alchemy, He became obsessed with the idea of recreating human life through artificial means. After 2 years he began working on his dream and created Frankestein. But when the good doctor realised that he had created a monstrosity rather than another human being he flees. The Monster hunts Victor down and begs him to listen to his story( the monster isn't mindless as most people assume,just scary) and forces him to build him a female companion so FRankestein(the monster wouldn't have to live a lonely life

 

2.Opal Koboi (ARtemis Fowl) a megalomaniac pixie who basically wants to rule the word (and underworld), She is an extremely creepy pixie scientist who is willing to kill herself and race to rule the world (if confused just read the books)

 

3.Lex Luthor (DC) An evil businessman and part time mad scientist who wants to destroy SUperman because he sees him a threat to Luthor making the world a better place.  In action he is evil but he in his head he doesn't believe he is evil.

 

4. Scarecrow(DC), a guy who practises unethical fear experiments on people and frequently terrorises Gotham thinking he is the God of Fear.

EDIT: Now, technically speaking, I didn't actually look up the bosses, so you don't have to kill me.

WLIU, name as many magic systems as you can and describe their unique feature in 5 words or less, e.g.: Hemalurgy: Stealing Powers By Stabbing People

[little wilson she/her]

Not quite, on that one, Landis. You've got half right, but you're wrong on the other half. Namely, Heathrow, Gatwick, Newark, OHare, Orlando, Venice, Munich, Zurich, Geneva, and Vienna. (Also, IND is for Indianapolis, but I assume that's what you meant)

LON is Heathrow, GTK is Gatwick, NRK is Newark, CHI is Ohare, ITA is Venice, VNA is Vienna?  Still haven't looked those up.  

[little wilson she/her]

LON is all London airports. Heathrow and Gatwick start with an L, but the rest is based on their airports. That should help you out a lot.  Newark, OHare, Venice, and Vienna are still wrong (you're really close with Vienna though).

[Retsam]

As a Chicagoan, O'Hare is ORD: I believe it was originally called "orchard"?
