[47] Stump the Experts was a chance to win prizes by
asking a HERCULES/XENA trivia question that could
not be answered by the panel. The panel included Brad Carpenter
(Renaissance Pictures), Sharon Delany (Creation Entertainment),
Saroj Selvan (Apollena, Queen of the Amazons), Melissa Meister
(WHOOSH! Cub-Reporter), and Kate Schumacher (Michael Hurst
Fan Club). The panel was able to answer most of the questions,
although the names of the three Titans in the XENA: WARRIOR
PRINCESS episode THE TITANS (#07) [Creon,
Hyperion, and Thea] and the name of Gabrielle's mother [Hecuba]
did stump them. A number of people asked questions that they
themselves did not know the answer, which is not a winning
strategy. A question on the number of fish that hit Gabrielle in
A DAY IN THE LIFE (#39) (answer, one eel, two fish) -- Brad
Carpenter commented that they were real fish, and Sharon Delaney
mentioned that the out takes brought the number of fish that
struck Renee O'Connor to twelve. [CC]
[48] This is serious business, the crowd loudly disapproved of
a question about Lucy Lawless' physical dimensions (Thou shalt
not defame the image of the goddess, lest ye be judged). "Stump
the experts" questions that the questioner does not know the
answer to are met with stern rebuffs (Thou shalt not quote the
scrolls if ye not be worthy). [LS]
