No, no, that’s OK, please, pretend like my questions 36 and 37 don’t exist, despite my posting them a full 11 minutes before the fake questions 36 and 37… ---

> [@Khan](#): > > 38.) What was Seven of Nine’s human name? > > 39.) Robert Duncan McNeill played Tom Paris in Voyager. What role did he play in another series that overlapped with his character’s background? 1. Anika Hanson. 2. I can’t recall the name, but he basically played the same character on TNG. He was either in Starfleet academy, or just graduated, and was cocky and did some crazy stunt that I think resulted in a death. I heard that the reason they kept the actor but changed his name is so the producers of Voyager wouldn’t have to pay royalties in every single episode he was in (which I think is actually all of them.) My questions: 1. How many wives does Dr. Flox have? 2. What species was Seska? Why was this so siginficant? 3. What two people on Voyager are from a parallel USS Voyager? ---

> [@bouv](#): > > 1. What species was Seska? Why was this so siginficant? She’s a Cardassian, which is significant because she had been masquerading as a Bajoran to infiltrate the anti-Cardassian Maquis. > [@](#): > > 1. What two people on Voyager are from a parallel USS Voyager? Ensign Kim and Naomi Wildman. The Kim and Naomi from this Voyager were killed, and everyone else on theirs was killed. 1. Speaking of Seska, who was the father of her child? 2. And what was the species of her husband? ---

Did she anull their marriage or just the engagement? I’m not asking this as a trivia question, I just want to know. IIRC, they weren’t actually married. It was an arrangement between their parents. But it was binding, because neither of them would be allowed to marry anyone else without the ritual of the Kali’fee. (sp?) ---

I heard that the reason they kept the actor but changed his name is so the producers of Voyager wouldn’t have to pay royalties in every single episode he was in (which I think is actually all of them.) The character was named Nick Locarno, he was the captain of Nova Squadron at the Academy, and they did do a crazy stunt that killed another squadron member. That was the only TNG episode with that character, however. 1. What is Worf’s brother’s name? 2. What are Worf’s girlfriends’ names? 3. What are Worf’s adoptive human family members’ names? 4. What ships has Worf commanded, even if only temporarily or in alternate universes? (canon sources only) ---

1. David Marcus used proto-matter in the Genesis device 2. Riker couldn’t hit the high note in “Misty” 1. What recurring character from TNG was acted by someone who also had a role in the Addams Family movies? 2. What ship did Data temporarily captain? my question #11 remains unanswered… ---

I don’t know the actor’s name. #61 USS Endeavor, when they used the tachyon detection grid to catch Romulans secretly delivering supplies to the House of Duras during the Klingon Civil War. His first officer was a dick, too. 1. Uhura and Chekov visited the present day aircraft carrier USS Enterprise in Star Trek IV. The ship in the film wasn’t the Enterprise, though; it was a different carrier. Which one was it, and why is this significant given why they went there? 2. According to Star Trek V, how many decks does the Enterprise-A have? 😛 3. What name did Kirk and crew christen their captured Klingon Bird of Prey? 4. How do you feel? ---

1. His own. Two of Shatner’s kids were in the ep, as was one of Gene’s. I won’t add any question as there are still some older unanswered ones. ---

61 must be USS Sutherland, Nebula Class. I thought it was Endeavor too though… 62 was the USS Ranger. IIRC it stood in for Enterprise because the Big E was on a deployment at the time. 63 is at least 78 decks due to overzealous art department. 64 is Bounty. I don’t remember if they put USS in front of it or not. New questions: 66 Who is the captain of the USS Columbia NX-02? 67 Why is Cmdr Tucker nicknamed “Trip”? 68 What is the name of the Klingon mercenary Kirk promised to kill but didn’t? 69 What exotic bio-weapon was used to kill a hapless scientist on Cold Station 12?
