Not bad as I don't know what you're talking about. Except for Blade Runner. I would really like for Gordon Brown to take a Voight-Kampff test. Just to be sure. 2.

Gort said 2/3 of sweet FA. He was the strong silent type. It was Klaatu himself who did all the talking including those instructions to Gort. Easy one except the last. Gort said 2/3 of sweet FA.

That's much more satisfying an explanation than all this heuristic algorithmic crap. Best regards I was told, 4+ decades ago, and have since always believed, that HAL is IBM – just one letter back.

It's for middle aged ladies too. I LOVE SciFi. I'm not cheating and looking anything up.. Highly Intelligent Artificial Lifeform - a guess. I don't know, but Harrison Ford was lush in Bladerunner :) This question does of course depend on whether you mean the main film or the series. Stargate is fab! Don't know this one. If it's Andromeda... that was an awful series. This one is an oldie. The Day the Earth Stood Still.. terrible film :) SciFi is NOT just for teenage laddies. It’s for middle aged ladies too.

Ah, I remember it well. Or not so well, actually: I have a lousy memory. Better to say that I well remember the pleasure it gave. It was once my idea that we should replace the preposterous word "kilogram" and call the unit of mass the Asimov. Sci fi is for laddies, 14-24 or so. Ah, I remember it well.
