Deep Space 9 Superior

[the Fifth Race]

Needless to say I didn't get round to watching 'The Wire' again. It was from my memory once again which is hit and miss!

Truly a great episode. I have re-watched it 3 times in the last couple weeks alone and I still enjoy it everytime.

It was fun to do as always, thanks Fifth Race for rising from your sick bed to give us another great quiz! Truly beyond the call of duty!

My back is feeling much better Kris and thank you. I sure wish grading them would be as much fun and building them.

I started to do the quiz but I have to go back to studing. I'll take it Wednesday after my midterm, priorities!

No worries brother FB, I am leaving the quiz up until Thursday and posting results late Thursday night.

[the Fifth Race]

Hi everybody, hope everybody is feeling o.k
I have a feeling I am going to have an awful quiz, and it won't help that I have not even seen 'The Wire' in over 10 years so most of the answers are just guesses and will probably be wrong, but i'm here to have fun and thats what I will do

Hey brother SC, great to see you back on the superior thread. I'm also glad you made it for the quiz. I just finished grading your quiz, you didnt do that bad my friend.

Great quiz brother Fifth. Let me know if you want help grading.

[the Fifth Race]

I must apologise and say that I won't have time to take the quiz until Friday afternoon. I hope I'll still be graded.

I am holding off on posting results until tomorrow (Friday) evening since there are a few regulars that have yet to take it. I have graded everyone that has taken it so far and there are going to be quite a few Top Dawgs this week. Well done everyone, I would go to Trek Trivia War with you all.

Wow great guess Lady Rac but it's not the one I was looking for. Quite a few of you have come up with more than a few great answers that could apply. Brother Starbase was able to big it up a couple months ago, so if he feels like it, I will let him tell you the answer.

[jelgate]

Or given the quanity of brother Starbase's posts you could use to advanced search to search just the DS9 Superior thread and only his posts but you didn't hear that from me

I'm probably digging myself a hole for saying this but any chance we can see a Ringer quiz in the future.
