This pattern seems to revolve about the
planets of our solar system.
Connections with the sequence:
Queen - Freddie Mercury
Sport - Venus Williams
People and Show - people live on Earth and the rated TV show Planet Earth
Band - the rock band Mars
Python - Project Jupyter which supports the Julia, Python and R languages
Game - Sega Saturn
Nuclear - Uranium was named in 1789 after the recently discovered planet Uranus
Sea - Neptune is the Roman god of the sea
What comes next ? Cat or dog ? Is it really missing ? This space may be filled by
Pluto the cartoon dog, but it's been demoted as a planet so isn't missing.

$\begingroup$ OK for everything !, except for "Show", where I was actually thinking of a more saucy connection : (r13) ersreraprf "gur Zbba", nf "zbbavat fbzrbar" vf fubjvat fbzrbar ... fghss. $\endgroup$– SoltiusCommented Mar 13, 2019 at 9:47

$\begingroup$ @Soltius You might consider using this format for rot13 comments, since you use them a lot: rot13(Uv zbz!). One of our regulars wrote a userscript to decode rot13 text on hover, and using that format for such text is a welcome convenience for those of us with that userscript. $\endgroup$– Rubio ♦Commented Mar 13, 2019 at 10:58
