Sir Gareth Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) "Six Degrees of Separation is the theory that everyone and everything is six or fewer steps away, by way of introduction, from any other person in the world, so that a chain of "a friend of a friend" statements can be made to connect any two people in a maximum of six steps." - Wikipedia The rules are simple: Whoever accurately connects the two things first, with a maximum of six links, wins, and gets to decide the next round. I'll start us off: The film, Star Wars, and former US president, Ronald Reagan Edited June 19, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote
Tariq j Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) The Strategic Defence Initiative was named after Star Wars and created by Regan. Edited June 19, 2016 by Tariq j Quote
Sir Gareth Posted June 19, 2016 Author Posted June 19, 2016 (edited) The Strategic Defence Initiative was named after Star Wars and created by Reagan. Figured that one would be easy. Your turn. Edited June 19, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote
Tariq j Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Thanks, Here's mine: Steven Spielberg and Fridges. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Steven Spielberg Directed a film in which Indiana Jones survives a nuclear blast in a fridge. Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 20, 2016 Posted June 20, 2016 The Ender's Game Movie and Prince of Persia (Movie) Quote
Umbra-Manis Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Yeah, I didn't have a good one. Your turn! Quote
Sir Gareth Posted June 21, 2016 Author Posted June 21, 2016 The film series, James Bond, and Star Trek. The possibilities are endless, so whoever connects these two with the least number of links, wins this round. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I'll have a go: Donald Pleasance starred (memorably) as Bond villain Ernst Blofelt in You Only Live Twice, and was later seen in an episode of the Peter Falk detective show Columbo. William Shatner later starred in the same show, so: Donald Pleasance (Bond Villain) > Columbo guest star> William Shatner (James T. Kirk) How do we count the links, by the way? By the number of people or events (3, in this case) or by the number of ">"s (2)? Quote
Artanis I Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Another shortish one: Christopher Lee was The Man With The Golden Gun, and Count Dooku in Star Wars. Simon Pegg was Unkar Plutt in Star Wars and Scotty in Star Trek. Quote
Actor Builder Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) Ken Adam was a set designer for some Bond Films, and also worked on Storyboards and Concept art for a never-released Star Trek film. Does that work? EDIT: Also, I used Google. It's late and I didn't think about the fact that that was cheating. I was just googling because I was curious and then I wanted to share my find with you, so I may be disqualified if Google is not allowed. I have no claim to my intelligence here.

Tariq j Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Star Trek 2017 and SPECTRE were (or in the case of Star Trek) will be filmed at Pinewood Studios. Quote

Tariq j Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Okay, here's one: Millenium Falcon and the Tardis. Quote
samurai-turtle Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 Okay, here's one: Millenium Falcon and the Tardis. Easy, the family guy episode where Peter is flying the Falcon and then we see Dr. Who in hyperspace. Quote

That's just using your resources I would've done: Former James Bond, Timothy Dalton, stars alongside Simon Pegg, the current Scotty, in Hot Fuzz. Edited June 22, 2016 by Sir Gareth Quote
Actor Builder Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Okay, here's one: Millenium Falcon and the Tardis. They are both ridiculous vehicles that don't make sense. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 Just wanted to add that in Back to the Future Marty says he is "Darth Vader". In Back to the Future, Doc is skeptic that "Ronald Reagan, the actor" is the president of the US in 1985. Quote

GallardoLU Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 ok, I know I'm not up but I came up with a fun one: Hercules: animated series and Star Wars. Quote
rodiziorobs Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Piece of cake. Disney :D Hm. Seems too easy. Here's a longer path: Hades is voiced by James Woods, who was in the movie Contact with William Fichtner who was in Armageddon with Owen Wilson, who was in Cars with John Ratzenberger, who was in Empire Strikes Back. Quote
Actor Builder Posted June 25, 2016 Posted June 25, 2016 Hm. Seems too easy. Here's a longer path: Occam's Razor. BrickHat's is better. Quote
