ELEM-ETYM-OLOGY

2: This element was named for the fact that its compounds come in many different colors.

4: Since it was the first element identified by spectrum analysis, its name comes from the “sky blue” lines in its spectrum.

6: Appropriately, one sign that a rock came from the Moon is very low concentrations of this sulfide element named for it.

8: One of these “twin elements” with Greek names is “green” and the other is “new.”

10: This element was named for a prince of Tyre and brother of Europa and Phoenix.

MOVIE & TV LITERATURE

3: The “Handbook for the Recently Deceased” says nothing about saying this Michael Keaton character's name three times, but maybe it should have?

6: The first movie in this franchise ends on publication day for “A Match Made in Space,” written by Crispin Glover's character.

9: “The Love Dare” initially only existed as a plot point in this Christian drama starring Kirk Cameron, but moviegoer demand resulted in the book being actually written.

12: She played the character who wrote “The Corpse Danced at Midnight” and “The Corpse Swam by Moonlight” from her home in Cabot Cove, Maine.

15: Works by this writer/Vermont innkeeper include “Anything Can Be a Lamp Base” and “Murder at the Stratley.”

What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.

Since there isn't an Instant Replay thread...

Seems like both chromium and iridium work for the 2-pointer. Based on Wikipedia, anyway, for what that's worth. I hope both will be considered correct, since I used Iridium, and it seems to be less popular than chromium so far.

FWIW, I concur. I never even considered the more popular choice, having seized upon the other answer already.
