Yes, but I needed rest in front of me, otherwise sometimes I can't think until I awaken later from a nap and slap my forehead. Ok, so we've got "A Clockwork Orange Is the New Black Like Me." (A Clockwork Orange + Orange is the New Black + Black Like Me) The third was especially easy since something reminded me of it this past week.

I seriously would not. Deprogramming and similar kidnapping scenarios involve damaging the person's psyche and hoping it all works out eventually. There's easier ways to get someone out than breaking them.

Still working on the TV show in the middle.

Just to make it official, you're both correct and either of you can go the next chance you get.

'Shepherd', 'Lost Sheep', and 'Bo Peep'. 'Bo Peep' had "Dixie."

This time, a woman with a history of leaving jilted fiancees at the altar flees and crosses the US-she enters an illegal cross-country race. Stars of this movie include Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Burt Reynolds and Dom de Luise. (Title order police, bug off.)

Yes. The character has been in a LOT of cartoons. Paul Soles was the first to depict him, in those 60s "cartoons" that were more "motion comic" than anything else. Bixby and Norton were among the actors who portrayed him live.

"I'm walking here! I'm walking here!" (Supposedly, this was an ad-lib!)

"The other side" meaning twi-and its offshoots, really- suppresses not only any chance for disagreement, but any chance for open discussion. One guy started a pro-twi messageboard and insisted the posters all be active twi'ers, and twi leaned on him to shut his board down- since they didn't control it. So, at twi, everything else is fair game for discussion- as is sycophantic vpw worship, but that rarely works out well for the starry-eyed vpw fanatic. I, personally, have posted, repeatedly, "I'm glad I got in and glad I got out"- when it was on-topic. After about 3 days, you CONCLUDED that's what it was about- and you just noted that the mission is TO TELL THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY. Grossly oversimplifying thousands of pages of posts is how you ended up so wrong, and certainly isn't much use. That's what twi wants. The GSC helps starve a fire of oxygen so nobody else gets burnt. Even counting only those who post (a minority of overall visitors), we've had people post who were introduced to twi in the past decade, but learned a lot from us and were better-prepared when the twi'ers tried to indoctrinate them. If there is a twi in existence, there is a need to shine a light on it and tell the truth about it. For the most part, that's done. The GSC has succeeded in helping prevent twi from indoctrinating and lying to new people, and it's now tottering along, with its top leaders skimming off the top for comfortable lives with perks. If you feel it should be done, YOU DO IT. Just go to the Doctrinal forum-as several people have suggested- and start a thread on what's on your mind. That's not hard. If anyone is interested, they'll join in. If you don't feel strongly enough about it to spend 30 seconds to start the thread, why should the staff? Oh, I see. You don't want to spend the effort on this supposedly worthy task, AND you want more traffic driven to it than the Doctrinal forum would give, despite it being suited for the Doctrinal forum. If you're in it only for the recognition and for more people to read your posts, you are in no shape to help anyone else, let alone pass judgement on them all. Of course not! It's only an amazing coincidence that there's been 2 new threads in ATW since you arrived, and within 1 1/2 pages, you've posted completely off-topic and complained that nobody's posting topics on your pet subjects. If you want those topics, start them yourself. That's what everyone else does. Except, you know, twi's top cadre, who designates "grunt-work" to the poor peons still in twi, so they have indentured servants to handle things they don't want to deal with (like having their own cook, laundry duties, cleaning, reading internet posts...) You've posted a lot for someone who doesn't care to post. Perhaps you're not being honest with yourself about what you want.

"The Tick" was a television show, based on the animated series of the same name. It lasted 3 seasons. (It aired on Comedy Central and possibly other channels.) The cartoon series was loosely based on the comic book of the same name. That started as a small run of black-and-white comics that kept getting more popular. (They kept reprinting the first issue. I never saw a 2nd issue print run.) The comics gave us the Tick himself, Arthur (the moth) and spoofs of existing characters. The cartoon gave us "American Maid" and "Die Fleidermaus" , spoofs of Wonder Woman/Captain America and Batman. The television show changed them to "Captain Liberty" and "Batmanuel."

It's the live-action show, "THE TICK."

"Charismatic Christians" and Pentecostals would be the other Christians supposedly rounding out the 9. As for Roman Catholics, they have a Pope, not a President. They didn't elect their Pope, the College of Cardinals elected him (IMHO, they did a great job there.) If he meant some US-specific thing, he got his numbers seriously wrong because the US doesn't have 1/2 the RCC membership worldwide. Less than 50% are in the Western Hemisphere, and Brazil has more than 1/2 of those.

A. That would work if there had been a movie or television show named "Secret Red" or "Secret Red Dawn." B. If there had been, just giving the name would have invalidated the round, since there would have been no title to guess. In case you missed it, we're meshing titles from existing movies/television, past or present, and meshing descriptions of their plots. Almost all of them have been doubles, one before and one after. Occasionally, I throw in a 3rd name to entertain myself.

And insured nobody had to speak German.

Was this "Stars and Stripes Forever"? I was going to say "South Pacific" but the big print changed my mind.

"Breathless" was from "Dick Tracy" and was played by Madonna.

I had the freedom to identify the Time Sphere as Rip Hunter's design when the sketches were displayed. I'm waiting to see if the "h" showing up is from the future, or from an alternate Earth. After all, the first time we ever heard of 2 Earths was Flash vol 1 #123, "Flash of 2 Worlds." (Big Bang fans may remember the cricket bet between Howard and Sheldon- Howard put up his copy of Flash #123 as his stake.) Mrs Wolf wondered if the thing came from the future Eobard wanted to return to. I slapped my forehead when I realized I'd missed that ONLY Cisco had flashbacks to the overwritten day. I know they snuck in the number 52 just to mess with the fans- 1:52 was the entire countdown. Was 1 cameo the woman from the future that Barry hadn't met yet? Anyone else like the design of the Flash Museum? Mrs Wolf was first in identifying the statue out front, which meant it was obviously the Museum.

No, I would not. We were discussing possible dangers at length. And this wasn't the first time. I always remember a short story that George Scithers described. A lab experimented with sending things in time. They sent a small metal cube 5 minutes into the future. It vanished, and reappeared 5 minutes later. They then began discussing the cube and sending it 5 minutes into the past. Immediately, a second cube appeared, alongside the first. Just before the time to send it back, they decided to see what would happen if they never sent it back. When the 5 minute mark arrived, existence itself vanished- except for the 2 small metal cubes. So, I'm aware there can be repercussions. I thought it would have happened a few episodes ago. Mrs Wolf saw it happening this episode as the episode unfolded. We also ran a few scenarios about what would happen as the result of a change. My favorite "awful" scenario- Barry saves Nora, but Eobard kills his Dad, and Nora goes to jail for it!

Here's the answers.

There is a show called "Hell's KITCHEN." It has nothing to do with HOTELS. So, you did not name #1. There is a show named "Kitchen Nightmares." It's the show I described in #2, and you guessed it correctly. So, your turn!

Another handful of semi-obscure shows. Name one to take the round. 1. This show has hot-tempered British chef Gordon Ramsay visiting hotels to try to fix them up. He seems to react to them as if he's suffering the tortures of a veritable Dante's Inferno when they're truly awful. 2. This show has hot-tempered British chef Gordon Ramsay visiting restaurants to try to fix them up and turn them around, so that their cooking areas are more like pleasant dreams and less like something else. 3. This great show (well, I like it) has a bunch of mobile kitchens competing in a city simultaneously, speeding from city to city, with the one making the least money eliminated until one winner is left. 4. This show has 2 mobile kitchens compete head-to-head in a city. 5. This show has 2 expert cooks (Aron Sanchez and Chris Cosentino) visit a town, and compete head-to-head in a series of challenges against another pair of cooks, usually locals from that town, in a race. 6. This show had a bunch of chefs travel from city to city across the globe, preparing local dishes in each area and competing as teams or as individuals, with one going home each episode until the last 2 went head-to-head to determine a winner. Despite its name, there were NOT 80 different stops and food challenges, it was a mini-series instead.

Ok, let me try this. Skipping "Underworld" because Michael Corvin isn't the only vampire hybrid out there..... "Twilight: Breaking Dawn of the Planet of the Apes." (Was there a "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes"?) I'm thinking "Part 1" is inconsequential for individual rounds.
