Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Criminal Minds" has had its fair share of feisty female characters, and this pretty blonde is no exception. An integral part of the BAU from the very beginning, she was the team's liaison officer, but briefly left to work for the Pentagon, before then returning as a fully-fledged profiler and field agent. Despite being one of the least experienced in handling a weapon, she once ended a hostage situation by shooting the perpetrator from the other side of a plate glass door. But who is she?

Answer: Jennifer "JJ" Jareau

Jennifer Jareau, aka JJ, was one of the main characters of "Criminal Minds", a crime series that focused on the work of a group of FBI profilers, known as the BAU (Behavioural Analysis Unit). Played by actress, A. J. Cook, JJ was an FBI Special Agent, and up until her brief departure, (during the show's sixth season), she was the BAU's media and police liaison.

However upon her return, she became an official profiler, and during her sparring sessions with fellow team member, Derek Morgan, (played by Shemar Moore), she showed that she was more than capable of taking care of herself.

2. The "CSI" franchise introduced the world to many memorable characters, and with her long, flowing locks and sunny disposition, this Southern belle certainly caught the attention of viewers. Yet she was so much more than a bit of eye candy, and having earned herself the nickname "Bullet Girl", due to her extensive knowledge and expertise in the field of firearms, those who underestimated her did so at their own peril. Who is this firearms expert, who was often referred to as "Lamp chop" by her alcoholic father?

Answer: Calleigh Duquesne from "CSI: Miami"

Originally from Louisiana, "CSI: Miami's" Detective Calleigh Duquesne, (played by Emily Procter), worked as a ballistic expert at Miami-Dade Police Department's CSI laboratory. Part of the team from the very beginning of the series, Calleigh was involved in several major storylines during her time on the show, including one which saw her kidnapped by two men who forced her to clean up their crime scenes for them.

Her personal life also proved to be pretty chaotic, and not only did she witness an ex-boyfriend's suicide, which took place in her lab, but she was also frequently forced to come to the rescue of her alcoholic father, who was forever falling of the proverbial wagon.

3. This next female character proved to be quite the chameleon, and was an expert at blending in with whatever background and crowd she found herself in. A master of disguise, she even fooled the ones she held dear, in order to bring down those who had double-crossed her, and brought about the death of her fianc�. Which duplicitous, gun-toting assassin, with links to the land down under, is being described here?

Answer: Sydney Bristow from "Alias"

Sydney Bristow, (played by Jennifer Garner), was the main protagonist of the fast-paced, action series "Alias", which centered on her work as a spy for the CIA. However during the first season of the show, it was revealed that Sydney had not in fact been working for the CIA, but rather had been duped into working for its enemy, the Alliance of Twelve. Moreover it was this enemy of the United States that was responsible for the death of Sydney's fianc�, which was precisely what prompted her to seek out the real CIA, and agree to work for them as a double agent.

As an undercover agent, Sydney Bristow proved to be exceptionally capable, transforming her appearance at will and proving to be both mentally and physically strong. Throughout the series, she also proved more than capable of handling numerous weapons, in addition to excelling at hand to hand combat.

4. As one half of a crime fighting duo, this capable brunette impressed her partner so much that he wrote a series of novels about a character that was inspired by her. Yet for all her physical and mental toughness, she hid deep, emotional scars, which stemmed back to her childhood, and the murder of her mother. Even so, she continually caught the bad guy, and was particularly proficient with a Glock. But who is she?

Answer: Kate Beckett from "Castle"

Kate Beckett, (played by Stana Katic), was the female detective who teamed up with author Rick Castle, (played by Nathan Fillion), in the popular television series "Castle". The pair met during the show's pilot episode, entitled "Flowers for Your Grave", when murder victims were found to have been killed in ways identical to those detailed in a novel of Castle's.

Despite Kate's initial dislike of Castle, the pair eventually warmed to each other, and thus a crime-fighting partnership of sorts was formed, with Castle becoming a consultant of sorts to the police department. During the course of the series, it was also revealed that not only was Kate's mother murdered, but the case was never solved, prompting Kate herself to revisit it time and time again, in search of answers.

5. The undisputed queen of malapropism, this dark-haired Israeli eventually became a US citizen, though she had, by this time, already spent many years serving the US government. A deadly assailant, she proved to be a force to be reckoned with on many occasions, with special skills that included shooting, hand-to-hand combat and knife-throwing. Moreover she once killed her half-brother in order to save the life of the man who would eventually become her boss. Who is this woman?

Answer: Ziva David from "NCIS"

During her early years at NCIS, Ziva David, (played by Cote de Pablo), worked as a Mossad Liaison Officer. Having joined the team as a replacement for the murdered Kate Todd, who was killed by Ziva's own half-brother, Ari, Ziva initially received a frosty reception from her new, NCIS colleagues. However she was always trusted by the team's leader, Special Agent in Charge, Leroy Jethro Gibbs, whose life was saved by Ziva, after she shot and killed her half-brother, Ari, to prevent him from killing Gibbs.

Despite having mastered ten languages, Ziva was regularly shown misusing English idioms, to such an extent that her malapropisms became her most endearing character flaw. Often referred to as "Ziva-isms" by "NCIS" fans, these included asking whether her colleagues minded if she took a "bat nap", instead of a "cat nap", and telling McGee that he looked as if he'd seen "a goat", instead of a "ghost".

6. This tough, no nonsense lieutenant worked exceptionally hard to rise through the ranks, and as a woman of colour, she certainly had her work cut out for her. Yet she made a demanding job look easy, and was always there for her detectives, so much so that several referred to her affectionately as "L.T" or "Lieu". Who is this remarkable woman?

Answer: Anita Van Buren from "Law & Order"

Lieutenant Anita Van Buren, (played by S. Epatha Merkerson), was "Law & Order's" longest running character, having appeared in 390 episodes. She first appeared in the fourth season of the series, in the episode entitled "Sweeps", and made it all the way to the show's final episode, "Rubber Room". Though predominantly a supporting character, Van Buren did have one or two substantial storylines of her own, the most notable of which involved her battle with cervical cancer.

She was also well respected by those she was in charge of, so much so that she earned herself several endearing nicknames, including the abbreviation, "L.T".

7. Despite the compassion and care this detective showed towards the victims of crime, she was one tough cookie, whom one did not want to get on the wrong side of. As part of an elite team of detectives, she went the extra mile to get justice, and as the child of a rape victim and an alcoholic, she had plenty of demons of her own to deal with. But who is she?

Answer: Olivia Benson from "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"

Detective Olivia Benson, (played by Mariska Hargitay), was one of the main characters in the popular television series, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit". Nicknamed Liv by her colleagues, Benson was part of the series from the very beginning, and for its first twelve seasons, her partner was Elliot Stabler, (played by Christopher Meloni).

The product of a rape herself, Benson proved to be exceptionally good at dealing with the victims she encountered at work, and was capable of dealing with situations that even seasoned detectives were unable to handle.

8. Working for the FBI, this blonde Special Agent's day job involved finding those who had gone missing, which was pretty ironic given that she herself was involved in keeping the whereabouts of one particular man a secret from the authorities. The product of an unhappy and broken home, she was estranged from her family, and as a result, was particularly sympathetic towards children with a background like hers. Her name also suggests that her mother was particularly partial to the novels of Dashiell Hammett. Which of the following is this?

Answer: Samantha Spade from "Without a Trace"

Samantha Spade, (played by Poppy Montgomery), was a character from the television series, "Without a Trace". Having grown up in an unhappy home, Spade tried to run away as a child, but was prevented from doing so by her mother and a local policeman. Her choice of occupation was particularly fitting in light of this, and throughout the series she was shown to be particularly compassionate towards children from broken homes. Later on in the series, it was revealed that Spade killed her sister's rapist when she was a teenager, but rather than inform the authorities, the family chose to bury the man in secret instead.

9. This next female certainly knew how to close cases, though it took a little while for her to get her squad to warm to her methods. However once they did, the team became a tight-knit group, and a family of sorts. Their fearless leader was a big fan of the details, and had a tendency to micromanage and hide food in her desk drawers. Despite her small stature, she could be intimidating when it pleased her, and she was also quite a hot shot with a gun. Who is this Southern lady, whose catchphrase was "Thank you; thank you so much!"?

Answer: Brenda Leigh Johnson from "The Closer"

Brenda Leigh Johnson, (played by Kyra Sedgwick), was the main character of the television series "The Closer". A self-proclaimed workaholic, Brenda was often late to family gatherings or prearranged personal meetings, so much so that her parents, Willie Rae and Clay, were often forced to turn up on their daughter's doorstep in order to see her.

However Brenda was extremely good at her job, having gained a reputation for herself as someone who could not only close cases, but also dig up enough evidence for them to be successfully prosecuted in court.

10. This CSI failed to reach her potential as a teenager, and thus initially worked as an exotic dancer, before going back to school to pursue her interest in science. Divorced and raising her daughter alone, this woman was truly the epitome of strength, and was also pretty handy with a weapon. Moreover when she finally left her series for good, she went on to bigger and better things, having secured a position with the FBI. But who is she?

Answer: Catherine Willows from "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"

Catherine Willows, (played by Marg Helgenberger), was one of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation's" main characters. One of the original members of the team, Catherine began the series under the watchful eye of Night-Shift Supervisor, Gil Grissom, before eventually taking over after his departure. Throughout the series she maintained a close relationship with her fellow CSIs, and was often privy to personal information about them, as they frequently sought her advice and guidance regarding their personal lives.
