Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Going back 25 years for my first question, I offer you my first example. I know the term 'babe' is biased to one's personal point of view. While the people behind the scenes tried to detract from her appearance, actress Gabrielle Carteris played the education driven, no nonsense do-gooder of "The West Beverly Blaze" high school newspaper on "Beverly Hills, 90210". What was her character's name?
2. It never fails to astound me how attractive scientists are on TV. That's not because a scientist can't be attractive, but because they are ALL so attractive on the shows I've watched. One of my favorite TV scientists has also been a law enforcement agent with the BAU on "Criminal Minds". Dr. Spencer Reid is the son of a schizophrenic mother, has an eidetic memory, carries a gun, and can rapidly and logically ascertain details that help solve crimes for the FBI. He is tall and slight of build, but very pretty and has a soothing voice.
Who plays Dr. Reid and has also directed several episodes of "Criminal Minds"?
3. One exceptionally smart babe is played by Emily Deschanel. Dr. Temperance Brennan is a forensic anthropologist at the Jeffersonian Institute in Washington D.C. She and her co-workers help solve crimes with FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. Brennan has a knack for a no-nonsense, emotion free analysis, and working environment. She also says, "I don't know what that means" a lot.
But, in which TV series can she be found?
4. In 2010, creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat brought forth yet another edition of this marvelous character created first by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The character was played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who many people consider to be quite a babe in his own right. Which character is it that can solve many a complicated riddle whilst driving his partner Watson mad with worry, frustration, and confusion?
5. This brainy boy was played by sexy Aussie actor Simon Baker. Patrick was not psychic, nor a hypnotist, nor was he a magician. What he was, was a mentalist. He could read body language exceptionally well, and ascertain or predict what would get a person to reveal their truths. He spent years looking for the man who murdered his wife and daughter, and eventually married another brainy babe named Teresa Lisbon.
Who was that cryptic serial killer Patrick Jane was hungry to find on "The Mentalist"?
6. All of the female clones from "Orphan Black" have to be babes, right? They are played by the beautiful Tatiana Maslany. And they all must be brainy right? Well, yes they all seem to be very smart in their own ways, some more obviously babe-like than others. But which is the brainy, lady loving, PhD who's also dying of some disease which is apparently a coding defect in their DNA?
7. She started from a humble place before her role as slayer sidekick launched her into some pretty hefty dark power. On "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", this go-to gal learned to hone her magic and, in the process, gained much needed self-confidence. But, as with many things, a little can go a long way afar and a sweet young thing can become nicknamed "Darth Rosenberg".
Which redheaded "homework gal" once said to her girlfriend Tara, "Hard to believe such a hot mama-yama came from humble, geek-infested roots"?
8. The actress who plays this brainy babe of a school teacher has a sister who also appears in this quiz. Zooey Deschanel played a woman dumped by her longtime boyfriend, which made her homeless. So, she decided to become roommates with Nick and Schmidt, when their third roommate Coach left in the first episode.
Which brunette "New Girl" was it that Zooey played?
9. When you're rich and in trouble, who ya gonna call? Pope, Olivia Pope. She's a lawyer, she's beautiful, and wickedly smart. She "fixes" all manner of crises, saves the lives of former assassins, has affairs with men in high power, drinks lots of wine, and occasionally she even eats.
On which series does Kerry Washington portray the sexy problem solver Olivia Pope?
10. She's a medical doctor who joined the FBI, probably because of someone's machinations. She spent a while practically laughing at her partner's unwavering belief in UFOs and the paranormal. Then, she was "abducted" herself, and returned almost dead. When she discovered an implant in her neck, she had it removed, and the ensuing cancer almost killed her again. She and Mulder studied the cases marked "X", and by the show's seventh season he finally asked why she always questioned him when he was right 99% of the time.
This seemed a turning point for which brainy red-haired agent played by Gillian Anderson?
