As they say in Latin: "Approximo Non Corona": Close but no Cigar!
- (except for Charlie X) wrong episode. You have "Cloud Minders" twice, but the sitting figure at the right (E) should make the answer a no-brainer.
- While it does take place in a paradise setting, the actual title is shared with an infamous musical that played the 'thon a few years back.
- Yep, you know the stories but the actual titles are something else. (While "Lord Garth" may actually be a better title than the real one, this can't be said for "Spock Gets Blinded".)
- The last frame, which was the last frame in the first season closing credits, actually appears in two episodes on the list. One aired in the 60's and one didn't. I'm being cagy on this one.

One of the great things about the marathon is seeing a crowd of great people, but like any crowd there are a few sketchy individuals.

Can you make a positive ID on these actors in sci-fi films from their police mugshots? Can you match them with the films they played in? As ususal, some of these suspects have been sighted at the Marathon over the years. Which ones?

2. Mad Max
3. The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human
4. The Survivor, the X-files (TV)

(Note: "The Man Who Fell to Earth", "Avatar" and "Iron Man" have been discussed as good 'thon fits. I've seen "The Arrival" and think it too would be a good fit and help rehabilitate Charlie Sheen. Although based on a sea-monster story by "Jaws" author Peter Benchley, "The Deep" is most remembered for Jacqueline Bissett's introduction of the Tankini.)-RF
