Excuse me, but on Question 10, "Leonard" from Star Trek could have also referenced actor Leonard Nimoy, who played Dr. Spock. Hello!
But the picture was of Dr. Leonard “Bones” McCoy. So, sorry but your “observation” doesn’t quite hold water on this one. Lol.
And he's Mr. Spock, not Dr. Spock. Different people.
Re: “Spock”, oh, I know. Dr. Benjamin Spock was the famous doctor dealing primarily with children and child-rearing issues.
17/18. Walton’s grandma threw me off. I’ll take it.
