tachycardia
Perseus
Southern Christian Leadership Conference

[MarkBarrett]

Blurted Prometheus and did not have Perseus ready to go in the myth Rolodex

1774 was my path without making a connection to Kirk
Joan of Arc
Had Sartre and GHWB no problem was blanked on Dune planet name not having multiple choice to recall it

[LucarioSnooperVixey]

[Bartleby]

Both 1774 and Cook=Kirk.

Got Sartre (ran that Camus category), Arrakis, and GHWB.

[davey]

Overlooked the right choice on Thurs
Sartre and GWHB seemed pretty obvious...Another day I would have remembered the Dune planet.

[econgator]

Steinbeck

[MinnesotaMyron]

Forgot Steinbeck was mentioned Monday, blurted him out on Thursday.

Spoonerized "Akkaris" for the Dune planet. Remembered the category from its original airing. Still missed "When Worlds Collide".

[Volante]

Wed - More from 1774; didn't think of Kirk. (Was actually thinking NASA)
Fri - Joan of Arc

Sartre
Arrakis
GHWB

Blurted Prometheus and did not have Perseus ready to go in the myth Rolodex

I'd never remember it if it wasn't for the constellations, but when the ancients put Perseus and Andromeda right next to each other...

Cook was a last moment guess of an explorer active in 1774. I thought the clue alluded to Star Trek, but I thought 1974 was too late for that and I never made the Cook/Kirk connection. I thought of Steinbeck first on Thursday, but the Oklahoma-to-California path of The Grapes of Wrath made me question the idea of his regionalism. Faulkner came to mind not long after that and made much more sense to me.

I got all three extra extra clues. I learned Arrakis from mrbungle's Winner's Blog.

[Leander]

Went straight to the Woody Guthrie song Monday and never looked back
Late 1700’s explorer usually means Cook to me. Did not see the Kirk connection.
Got Sartre, Arrakis (the recent movie helped jog my memory), and GHWB.

[RetiredDoc]

My first thought for the Wednesday clue was Lewis or Clark - but how could you distinguish which one? Then I somehow got to Captain Cook without the Star Trek connection
Joan of Arc - I didn't realize there could be any variants for this one, and I wouldn't have thought that just Joan would be accepted

[AFRET CMS]

Daniel Boone for Wednesday's FJ, thinking of the Wilderness Road through Cumberland Gap being just a couple of years before the Declaration of Independence.

Don't know if I previously knew about Perseus and Andromeda prior; if not, it's yet another tidbit I learned on Jeopardy.

Sartre, Arrakis, and GHWB all came pretty quickly, though Sartre was said very questioningly and with little confidence.

[BigDaddyMatty]

Neither Steinbeck nor Faulkner came to me on Thursday. I was just completely blank except for Hemingway, who I knew was wrong.
Isabelle, annulment, and Joan of Arc being too obvious all threw me for a loop on Friday
