1: Pretty much disagree entirely anyway but 2: Im pretty sure they actually get lists of fandoms from contestants before making questions. Trapp has mentioned in passing before that the next category is "One each of you had mentioned" or that he knows "You guys are all big fans of this one"

[@Weirwood256]

Redwall Please

Trapp gives them questions on series he knows or thinks they like. Keep in mind these people are work mates or just general close mates. I'd be able to guess a subject the boys at work would possibly know about. He isn't just pulling them out out of the aether and hoping

[@joshuabattaglia9578]

Um actually the voice of stephen hawking is Dennis Klatt, a researcher who developed the device that Stephen used to speak. Even though there were offers for new voices to be placed in the machine by professional voice actors, Stephen had become so accustomed to speaking with Dennis' voice that it became a part of his identity and he decided to stick with it, even after Dennis' death in 1988. His voice lived a whopping 30 years afterwards!

[@declanjames5604]

Technically correct, the best kind of correct

[@icantthinkofanything798]

Well since they brought Stephen into the booth it would still be considered his performance

[@rachelladue1572]

​@@icantthinkofanything798interesting question about royalties/residuals tho, depends on what legal documentation the original voice had when developing the thing but you could make the argument that Stephan hawking just was doing remixes essentially and people normally have to give the original artists credit

It's actually kind of interesting that Marge never became a robot, since at least in the Treehouse of Horror episodes we've seen Homer become a robot and Bart get replaced by a robot, but given how they do so many parodies I can't believe we still haven't got one of the Stepford Wives, where they could TOTALLY turn Marge into a robot.

[@AlexGaltShow]

Missed opportunity for the contestants to begin their correction with a "D'Oh"

[@Conklin03]

To work as the counter here, let's have a similar number of themed and non-themed episodes. I personally like to see if a fandom that I'm a part of appears in an episode, kind of like a surprise pull. At the same time, it is also nice to see people actually have an idea what they're talking about.

[@CodenameJD]

Agreed, themed episodes like this are great for really diving into a subject, and getting to have multiple contestants who have deep knowledge of the subject, making for an intense, tight game. General episodes are good for the variety, a sense of chaos, and for giving room to properties to which it would be more difficult to devote a full themed episode. And when none of the contestants know the answer to a question, it gives the audience the chance to be proud of themselves for knowing something they didn't- provided it doesn't happen to often and just makes the contestants feel out of place on the show.

[@Elvalley]

Yay! Ms "Thrill Ho tattoo" is back and I just can't get enough of that energy, and it happens to be a Simpsons episode! Although I do admit seeing an episode where Kirk fails thematically is a draw on itself.

[@carveylover]

Nothing makes me feel older than me realizing I am older than The Simpsons. I remember my older brother showing me the Simpsons too. We were watching a re-run of the Tracy Ulman show and he was like "hey you have to check this out." It was a magical moment and I have stuck with the show ever since. I have stuck with it no matter what.
