As usual: Europe minus 1, politics (and female) minus 1, so ONE correct answer.
So, in the movie quote category, with the Pulp Fiction quote, Alex read it a bit too proper by saying chapter and verse when referencing the Bible, even though in Pulp Fiction Samuel L. Jackson just recites the numbers (“Ezekiel twenty-five seventeen”). Not that it affected anything, but maybe a case of Alex being a bit too proper when reading off the card (or maybe just being cute with it — after all they did cut down the actual quote quite a bit to fit the clue space). It was certainly a weird reading for anyone who is a fan of the film, as the quote when recited properly has a definite cadence to it (also, while it is a real Bible verse, Quentin Tarantino embellished it a lot for the movie).
I agree! I was reciting it, just like the movie, while he was reading it.
You are so right. I was hoping trebek would at least try to do his best impersonation of Samuel l jackson. What a disappointment.
