The Riddle
There’s a crack in my wall
Which started out small.
Just before I was wed
I jumped out of bed,
To help a bowtied know it all.
Answer
Amy Pond from Doctor Who first comes to the Doctor's attention from a crack in her wall, which starts out small, but grows to represent a threat to all of existence. At the end of the first episode she appears in, she decides to accompany the Doctor (who, at this point, thinks bowties are cool) while still in her nightgown, on what's revealed to be the night before her wedding. In all of his incarnations, the Doctor can fairly be referred to as a "know it all," though, in his defense, he does know just about everything.

Episode Notes
The Hawkeye scorebreak. Hawkeye: just fine, but next time, let's just cut out Renner altogether, maybe [Correct. 7.5/10]
The 3D Chess Scorebreak: 3D chess. Super smart people just play chess: it's already complicated enough! And 4D chess would just be doing the same thing, but over time, which is how linear time works, anyway. [Nice sentiment, but could be read as a knock on Star Trek. 5/10]
