1a. 20th century Warner Brother's cartoons, such as "Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 Century".

1b. Daffy Duck.

2. The ones we know about are listed below. Pts. were given for any of these, and it wasn't necessary to provide character names and episode titles, but we're doing that here to show off:

25. Julie Musante; As for the other part, I tried to be pretty liberal scoring. Here is the Lurker's guide summary of the scene: Sheridan takes Musante into his quarters, where he fixes her a drink. While he is busy, she takes the opportunity to undress, and comes over to him. He tries to refuse her advances, but changes his mind and lunges into a deep kiss with her when an image of Ivanova appears. She soon vanishes when she sees what she interrupted, and Sheridan breaks out of the embrace. He quickly enters another room, where Ivanova is waiting. She tells him that she knows where the First Ones are, but they will have to hurry. He says he is occupied, but tells her to contact Garibaldi. She begins to tell him about Clark's message, but doesn't have time. Musante calls out to him, and Ivanova knows she has to leave. "Good luck, Captain. I think you're about to go where everyone has gone before." She vanishes just as Musante enters. Musante is quite perplexed when he hurries out again.

The guide doesn't mention it, but Sheridan looks down at Musante, says that she must be cold, and excuses himself to go check the environmental controls.
