Defying all boundaries of my mental abilities, Bill at Shakespeare Teacher has created a second 3-D Pic-Tac-Toe puzzle. Feel free to join me in a hair-pulling contest over there. But first, bask in the vaguely Halloween edition of Pic-Tac-Toe here.
Once again, a Pic-Tac-Toe is a puzzle in which 9 images are arranged in a 3x3 grid. Each line of images (row, column, diagonal) has a theme that unites the images somehow. Your mission, and only two of you have chosen to accept it, is to solve the 8 themes.
(Click the image to enlarge; guess in the comments section.)SOLVED! It was a his-and-hers accomplishment, with the oft-mentioned K-Lyn and Bill getting 4 themes each.

Top: Heavenly Hosts (Angel, Cherub, Seraphim)
Bottom: Simon
Middle: Pumpkin
Forwardslash: Rob Roy (Liam, Jessica, and Tim were all in it)
The middle row is Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead actors (Dreyfuss, Roth, Oldman).
Both of you are correct. 3 themes to go...
Right column: Actors from the Star Wars saga (Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher)
Backslash: Daughters of famous fathers (Paul Sorvino, Christopher Plummer, Eddie Fisher)
Left Column: Academy Award Winners (Mira Sorvino, Richard Dreyfuss, Jessica Lange)
Ok, I'm about 20 minutes behind on figuring out the R&G and Star Wars themes. However I would never have gotten the other two since I wasn't aware that Mira Sorvino won and Oscar or who Paul Sorvino is (or was).
Bill: All correct. 4 themes to the lady, 4 to the gentleman. And each of you got a diagonal; I thought those 2 themes were the most obscure.
K-Lyn: This puzzle is what happened when you requested an all-Shakespeare edition last month.
After playing around with the idea some, I gave up and decided I'm better off sprinkling an occasional Shakespeare theme into random puzzles.
The answers...
Top Row: ANGELS (Angel of Death, "Cherub Rock," Seraphim Falls)
Middle Row: ROSENCRANTZ & GUILDENSTERN ARE DEAD (Richard Dreyfuss, Tim Roth, Gary Oldman)
Bottom Row: SIMON (composer Simon Boswell, author Charnan Simon, Paul Simon)
Left Column: ACADEMY AWARD WINNERS (Mira Sorvino, Richard Dreyfuss, Jessica Lange)
Middle Column: PUMPKIN (Smashing Pumpkins, Pumpkin and Honey Bunny, Pumpkin Fever)
Right Column: STAR WARS SAGA (Liam Neeson, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher)
159 Backslash Diagonal: HOLLYWOOD DAUGHTERS (of Paul Sorvino, Christopher Plummer, and Eddie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds)
357 Slash Diagonal: ROB ROY (Liam Neeson, Tim Roth, Jessica Lange)
