Things just seemed to be naturally heading towards a "Spot the Martian" round, I feel, so below are twenty images I found online of aliens from film and television. Can you identify the ten from Mars? For example: if I showed you the picture above, you would, of course, say "Yes, these are Martians! From the 1951 film Flight To Mars, set on Mars, which is why their helmets have holes at the front, because they live here so they can just breathe normally!" Bonus points if you can name the show or film the image is from, and additional bonus points if you just decide you deserve them, because why not? As many as you like! I'm WiIly Wonka. I'm the Childlike Empress. Infinite Wishes! Aswers will be posted as ever in the comments, where you can also tell me how many points you decided to award yourself. Identify!

ReplyDeleteOoh, a very good round. It's been years since I saw Dark Star but I suspect the alien came from Poundland.
ReplyDeleteYou can't put a price on imagination.
ReplyDelete3/20. Wow. If I hadn't recently rewatched the Twilight Zone it would've been two.
ReplyDeleteOo, is it a good episode? Also, how did you manage to get an odd score?
