:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( Ran out of time on Wednesday by thinking through American playwrights and misinterpreting "home" as an actual home (like Taliesin or Graceland) and not a home town. Got it after Think music by running through cosmetics companies.

Ugh. I was hoping the extra clues might help out this week, but no dice.

Godwin-Austen on Tuesday.

Curling on Wednesday.

I had no guess on Thursday but would've known it was Bryan over Bryant.

Moscow on Monday.

Correct with Emerson.

So, that woman was an Android, no? Almost certainly. When I saw disasters, my two precalls were Titanic and "oh, dang, that disaster that was on Seinfeld". Couldn't pull the Andrea Doria in time. Ditto. Knew it was the ship mentioned in Seinfeld but didn't get it. I can't remember what the joke on ...

Equal parts "Greco-Roman god" and Sun King on Wednesday.

Only Hickok on Wednesday.

Derry on Friday.

Stayed at a Motel 6 as a kid

JFK on Friday.

Never use CC for Jeopardy!

Seen Wonder Woman

Would've gotten Thursday's clue without "astrological"

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Got nowhere with Thursday's clue. Went with Romeo to have something. Negged with Hudson and Franklin. I've never listened to Night Vale , but as a regular podcast listener (~25 a week), I've heard countless references to it. Plan to w...

Failing to correctly process the "became a national capital in 1993" part of the clue, I made the jump from Austria to Austria-Hungary and answered Budapest.

Negged with the Philippines.
Got seedless and spaniel.

Seen Holy Grail several times.

Got April 10th.

"California-born" sent me down a blind alley and I ended up putting down Bette Midler on Wednesday. I think I may have been able to pull it without that distractor.

Mostly the Hugo novel.

Pronounce calm with an L.

Never seen Cats without wonky CGI, Dame Judi's wedding ring, and a naked Idris Elba.

Had "Mammography" on Wednesday.

Walked past the Washington Monument a few times as a child.

The Princess Bride was the only reason I got that one.

Wrote down Little Red Riding Hood on Friday.

Spelled Hammurabi correctly.

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :( :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I've never experienced Guernica outside of reproductions, but have seen its companion piece Weeping Woman . Maybe I'd have a different opinion if I saw it in person, but I've always found his The Dream and Lie of Franco far more affec...

People, would YOU have accepted just "William Tell"? I don't see why not.

That would be like accepting "the Black Album" for "Enter Sandman."

It would be like accepting “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band” for “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.”

I would. Overture is sufficiently implied by “opening piece” in the clue.
