I guess I'll go for the rest...
I will happi
ly accept any and all forms of C+C, public,
private or
skywritten. Even if it's merely to say "good job" or
"this sucks."

Very well, good job, this does NOT suck... ^_-

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Not gonna get all of 'em... but I'll try... ^__^

Good show, old bean.

I do hope you'll allow us peons a 2nd chance at that top 
price and dubious honor of getting every browne point?

 The tall man announced himself to the stony-faced
attendant, who nodded in
acknowledgement
and took his proffered hat and coat.

 "The Minister is in the Red Room, sir."

 "Thank you, Cedric," the tall man responded, and made

Don't tell me Cedric is a named character... ^_^;;;


No, not really. ~_^

Good... there's _way_ too many butlers around... ^_-

Ahhh... Brigadier Alistair from 'Doctor Who'.

Lethbridge-Stewart.

Yeap, it's the Brigadier, can't quite place Minister
James, thou... ^_^;;;

1 Brownie point awarded.

*

Celas of 'Helsing' fame, I guess... ^_^;;;

Yes, but no points there, as warned. (The title's in the 
subject header, so it's too easy)

Your point being? ^_-
And given that I haven't watched Hellsing yet... ^_-

Crystals and statue are from
'Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom', ditto with the
temple  and the Thuggee cultists.

1 Brownie point awarded, even though strictly speaking 
that's not a 'character'.

heh... but it is a reference... no? ^_-

**

The one and only Lara Croft from Tomb Raider... and
evident from the Glock hand cannons and jump... ^_-

1 brownie point awarded

***

John Steed... ^_^
Avengers! Pity about Ms Peel, thou... lung cancer is 
nasty business.

1 brownie point awarded. And who says it was Emma? ^_^

It ain't Mrs Peel? well... if it ain't her... I suspect if 
I had named that other woman, I'd get the same exact 
answer... ^_^;;;

Yeap... it's the Prisoner...

1/2 brownie point awarded. Who *else* is he?

Well... given that there are people who haven't seen that 
classic... that one could be tricky.

***.5

hmmm... a US criminal...

No, an English criminal captured in the US.

I'll bet... Ethan doesn't strike me as a good boy type. 
^_-

Hannibal Lector?

Eek! Good Lord, no.

Heh... well... you used the word, muzzle, prisoner... what 
do you expect... ^_-

Ethan... Rayne... errr... it can't be the dude from 
Buffy: Vampi Slayer...

1 brownie point awarded. Good job.

****.5

Oh dear... It is Ethan, the bloody bugger... is
Ripper(Rupert Giles) going to make an appearance as well
as the Watchers and Slayers?

Only obliquely, if at all.

That's a crying shame... Giles was cool.

Heh, Ethan got chipped... just like muffin... err... I
mean Spiky did! ^_^

Yep. When last we saw Ethan, he was being carted off to 
Area 51 by the Initiative. Maggie Walsh's program has not 
been 100% abandoned.

I dare say. After all, can't allow all those monster to 
run loose, willy nilly, no?

oooh... a Dalek from 'Doctor Who'

Yep. Not a brownie point question, but good job, anyway.

Well... they're familiar to anyone whose watched Doctor 
Who.

Cavorite... erm... why do I get an image of H.G. Wells?

Hee. It was also  (one of) the MacGuffin(s) in Alan 
Moore's "League of Extraodinary Gentlemen".

Checked it out... It belongs to "The First Men In the 
Moon" by H.G. Wells, shame on me for forgetting one of the 
sci-fi novels I read in primary school. ^_^;;;

Sherlock Holmes?

Yep. Too damn easy.

true true

Star Trek novel... the lizards men descended from
dinorsaurs? errr... hmmm... or... hang on... are this
lizardmen from Doctor Who? I seem to vaguely remember
lizardmen in Doctor Who... ^_^;;;

Yes, the Silurians are from Doctor Who.

Ahhh... I was right then.

vegetable abominations labelled "Triffids", even a

ah yes... 'Day of the Triffids', a good classic novel,
that one.

And a very unintentionally funny TV series. (Eeek! It's 
the attack of the giant clacking wobbly plastic orchids! 
Run away!)

aheh... never watched it... now you've given me incentive 
to... ^_^;;;

"Martian". Closer to the lift doors stood an affair of

bwahahahahahaha. 'World of the Worlds' is included as
well.

I think you meant "War of the Worlds", but yes.

yeah... typoed... ^_^;;;

'The Time Machine' by H. G. Wells... how could you?

Yes, but you'll never guess who *really* invented it in 
this ficton...

Well... on an offhand guess, I'd say the Good Doctor or 
his grand daughter Susan, unless there's some other person 
familiar with temporal mechanics?

I can't place Syn... Alan Quartermain is somewhat famous.
Having books, Novels, comics based on him... heck, he
shows up in the comic that's being released in comic
stores 'The League of Extraordinary People', a very
interesting comic, it is. featuring quite a number of
'fictional' characters and assuming that they are 
real... and the martians are there as well... ^___^;;;

Dr. Synn was "The Scarecrow", a highwayman/hero. See the 
Disney movie of the same name. The photos also made an 
appearance in the LoEG.

Ahhhh.... Well... never heard of Dr. Synn... ^_^;;

More stuff to put on need to read/watch list

The only person who even approached this description is
'The Master' from Doctor Who... but even so... it can't 
be him...

Heheheheheheh.... Can't it?

Oh dear.... it is him, isn't it... -_-;;;

"Plastic surgery and coloured contacts, then?" Lara
asked. "What about his fingerprints? If
Thompkins was a paramedic, surely his prints were on 
file with the San Francisco emergency services."

Unless all this Bruce Thompkins stuff is just a red
herring you're throwing at us...

No-oo....

mutters and goes thru old tapes featuring the Master 
now...

Bruce... the paramedic...

..... that's just _evil_ of you...

ouch... perhaps a mazoku or some such demon has been set
loose on those poor employees?

That would be telling.

*raises* an eyebrow... "oh?"

companies. Individuals in our employ who are known
'sensitives' report a crushing spiritual malaise
surrounding any Portsreeve building, especially those
built or remodelled since the beginning of the
decade.

Hmmms...you make Portsreeve sound like a demon type
being...

Remember Clarke's law...

Any magic sufficiently advance is indistinguisable from 
science or is it the other way around... ^_-

Ditto with Constant Drache... no sodding clue as well...
but given the way Ethan seems to know and fear him... not
good. Unless he's a descendent from the 'Constantine' 
line from 'Hellblazer'...

Nope. Although he'd fit right in in Constantine's 
England.

Erk... I do hope he's not the equivilant of Lily from the 
'Golden Lotus' (Hunter comic series) because otherwise, 
that would be down right unfair... Constant Drache isn't a 
character you borrowed, is he? 

Because I honestly don't have a clue on him...

John didn't meet the revelant known as 'The Crow' as
played by Brandon Lee in the movie, 'The Crow'... did 
he?

Nope. Not THE Crow, a Mr. Crow.

mmmmh, nope, can't place him then... with only a single 
word like this... it'[ hard to say, to be honest...

Sir James as an older 007, James Bond, perhaps?

1 Brownie point awarded. The idea of a retired Bond being 
knighted and running England's intelligence services was 
inspired by  David Niven in "Casino Royale".

Actually, I pictured Sean Connery as he is now saying 
those lines and it worked for some odd reason... ^_^;;;

*****.5

Captain Metcalfe... the invincible Captain Scarlet? damn
if I know... but the name invokes in me images of 
puppets ala Thunderbirds...

1 Brownie point awarded

But Portsreeve seems like a right bastard ala The Master.

Ooh, you're very close. The name is a clue, and so is the 
actor playing him.

It's The Master... I've got a video tape of the TB movie 
'Doctor Who' with cast listing of Eric Roberts as.. The 
Master. ^_^;;;

At least the 1999, the end of the world, save Earth from a 
Morphant 'Master' TV movie... ^_^

Ah well... I guess I won't be getting the CG art piece
then... ^_^;;;

No, but a fine effort nonetheless.

Thanks for the time you took to reply, thou.

I do hope to see more of this Sir Menard.

Glad you enjoyed it, Sir Bombadil. Cheerio!

Not a proble, anything that's interesting like this is 
cool in my eyes... this fic is a 'saver' in my hard drive.

peculiar... we had become badly dubbed...
