B5 chosen as specialist subject on Mastermind this evening

AlaricAlaric Damn kids! Get off my island!
in Babylon 5
UK quiz program Mastermind had a contestant who chose seasons 1 and 2 as her specialist subject.
Contestants are typically asked around 15 questions on their subject and most people score around 10

she scored only 4

I cannot remember all the questions now (couldn't log in fast enough to catch them as they were asked) but some questions she got wrong were:

What is Sinclairs birthday.
Which race of the non-aligned worlds divides into 2 factions
What material is used in the construction of jump gates (ok that was paraphrased)
What is the number of the division led by General Franklin.



Anyone else see it?


edit:
The quiz master hasn't seen the program and said something like "I'm not surprised you struggled with the subject, it sounds very confusing"

  • RubberEagleRubberEagle What's a rubber eagle used for, anyway?

    me too but she's supposed to have really studied the subject and she couldn't do it. stage fright i guess, she was certainly enthusiastic about the topic.

    I've just remembered some more questions she got wrong.
    "What is jinxo's proper name?"
    "what category was B5's Emmy in?"
    "Who wrote the music"

    there's another, something about Doug Netter, but the details escape me.

    She must have got stage fright or something, some of those questions are quite easy. The others are pretty obscure though, I certainly couldn't answer them.

    I was out at the time but fortually my family fought I may be intrested in it so recorded it.... I had a go and like people say some were easy but some were real stinkers.... I got about 5 but haven't watched Season 1/2 resently.... I will try and type up all the questions and see how others do in the next couple of days..

    Be interesting to see.

    Maybe a thread should be started relating questions of the like. Each poster asks one question, person who gets it right should post the next question and so on ...
