Just about to look through your answers Vampyr, good luck! :D

So it seems people are on board for round two it seems, excellent, and a picture round is a great idea! I've got a scanner lying around somewhere, and Google images will help too.

Right, be back in a sec with Vampyr's score.

I have to wait another month to beat her?
I hope there are plenty of music and non sci-fi questions. She'll be stuck as she knows nothing about music or good tv.
