h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hereis a nice tough one.

There are clues to 16 Buffy TV actors and actresses hidden in this paragraph. No one appears twice. Two of them only appeared once in Buffy but were a central part of their episodes. Highest score wins.

"The spy drove her car beyond city limits and buried the cool money six feet under the ground. She had escaped a fate totally worse than death. Austin Powers bore a grudge against her. Silent lies had been spread along the malibu shores and her first daughter had been kidnapped and all serenity was lost. Now she had to take a chance on getting her daughter back by ringing Beverley Hills 90210 and hoping she would be saved by the bell.She was the soul survivor of the horror show that took place on these rocky shores."

Very testing, but we enjoyed it. Black Eyed says hi! and says it was easy.

Xander

Sorry, you have Six feet under and beyond city limits twice. Can't allow that. There are two more clues. You could also have had Eric Balfour[Jesse] for 6FU and Robia La Morte for 90210.
And tell Black Eyes that Chickens should not be counted til the fat lady sings. [mix your metaphors much!]

C

okay then, we misunderstood the meaning of 'Does not appear twice', so we went back to it and came up with.

Julie Benz- A Fate Totally Worse Than Death
Marc Blucas- First Daughter

And Black Eyes replies with 1 2 3 etc. and
but not so much with the fat, lol!

Xander

OK, sound of celestial voices and clucking in the background. My instruction was a case of trying to use one sentence instead of two. All correct! [ But...being the devious kind of person that I am, I put in a spare one as a tie breaker, just in case too many people got the right answer...

Am I pushing the punning when I say it's dawning on me that poor little Harriet the spy is being overlooked?

Spot on target, Ava. All my best work, solved in seconds!

Something a little different, some anagrams!

1. EPISODES:
Teach pk
Nick the cop
three kill mine
2. ACTORS
nanny I nags halo
Boo! tire alarm
Ben means bro

Xander

EPISODES

The Pack
Checkpoint
The Killer In Me

ACTRESSES

Alyson Hannigan
Robia La Morte
Amber Benson

Never set an anagram challenge to a scrabble player!

Okay, without cheating (as defined earlier by Staker Boi) this one might be difficult (or not):

Which 1998 mini series had D.B. Woodside and J. August Richards (both WITH hair ) among its cast?

Something just came to mind, I do remember reading somewhere that D.B. Woodside was in 'The Temptations', so for lack of any other answer I'm sticking with that.

Xander

Yep, that's right, and so was JAR. (I only knew that because it was on Dutch TV recently.) Your turn again, Xander.

This one should be fairly easy for most of you.

Name the episodes and characters where they have met themselves?


Xander

I can think of two: Willow in Doppelgangland and Xander in The Replacement. We could include Buffy meeting the Buffybot in Intervention.

So go on, brave Buffyites, tell me that there are another thirty that I could not think of!

C

I guess Spike met himself several times in Season 7 when The First was dressed up as him.

Okay, they're all there, but one. When Buffy meets 'The First' Buffy in 'Chosen'.

Xander

You got me there. I shall be forced to watch Chosen again, dammit!

C

How will you manage? Is anyone going to come up with another question?

Xander

Give the address and zip code of the following:

1. Buffy

2. The Magic Box.

3. Giles' Home.

ok, the zip might be a bit tricky!

Are we aloud o use books on this one? 'Cause it's a little to much to remember.

Xander

Any source that you need. We may have some slightly different answers depending on the source!
