NOTE is gray.

Sigourney 4

[Azoth]

Not great. If we survive to the next round, I think we should go all in on beat = triumph over.
So WAR, CASINO, DISEASE, STOCK market.
The alternative is combining some of those with LINK/BOLT, which gets messy.
PALM we should leave for Blue as their designated +1.

[Tarkeel]

That was unfortunate indeed, and I agree with Azoth's suggestion.

[Charriu]

I'm with Azoth

CASINO	PALM	AMBULANCE	LINK	BOLT
FIELD	WAR	ALPS	SWING	CZECH
CLOAK	MODEL	DISEASE	POUND	CAST
GHOST	TAG	LEPRECHAUN	DANCE	CENTER
NOTE	WELL	ALIEN	STOCK	GREEN

I can't think of any Sigourney other than Weaver. And she famously was a CAST member in ALIEN. And (perhaps slightly less famously) GHOSTbusters.

Problem is that I can't see another strong movie connection myself. I have feeling she may have voiced the cat in BOLT, but I really wouldn't want to bet anything too valuable on it. She may have been in movies about WAR or DISEASE, but they feel too general. If someone has strong memories of her being in Contagion (or something else I haven't watched) I could be talked into that as a link. I'm pretty sure she didn't have a significant part in CASINO and I doubt she was in LEPRECHAUN.

Aside from movies, she has almost certainly been in adverts for things, so MODEL?

CAST + ALIEN > GHOST >> MODEL >>> BOLT

[El Grillo]

Unfortunately, I have no idea what this clue is referring to.

Point to Alien
Point to Cast
Point to Ghost

ALIEN is Blue
CAST is Blue
GHOST is Blue

[El Grillo]

Nicely done! I'm afraid I'm terrible at remembering actors and their roles.

[shallow_thought]

Well, so far so good.

The problem with MODEL is that it falls outside the parameters of the rest of the group - all are either CAST or the movies in which SW was part of the cast.

I'd be very tempted by BOLT if only I were certain that she was one of the voice actors, and the more I think about it the more confident I am, albeit not 100% - but is it really plausible that both DaveV and I had seen the same animated movie and payed attention to the voice cast list? It's a stretch, but a tempting one. Thrawn has been through her other major roles (she was also in Dave - the one about Kevin Kline body-doubling for the president- I think? And Super 8? And yes, Galaxy Quest is a great, very fun movie - but I also can't see anything on the board that links).

I'd say get PALM in first, then one of BOLT > MODEL, but that is a very weak preference on the second.
