> [@Revtim](#): > > A zit. Yes, but what’s the Klingon term? > [@Cliffy](#): > > I don’t think this has been answered already. Teegan. (Spelling might be off.) I thought it was Teegan too, but turns out not to be. It’s “Tigan.” I’d say it’s close enough to count, since if we were in person you’d have pronounced it right anyway. > [@](#): > > In addition to those already mentioned, there’s a reference to Conscience of the King which could only be seen in HDTV – when Mirror Archer and Hoshi are looking at the histories of their counterparts, regular Hoshi’s biography notes that she died on that planet goverened by Kodos the Executioner. _Nice._ > [@](#): > > Maj Culluh, I think of the Kazon Nistra. Nistrim. > [@](#): > > As for the special guest star, his name is David Warner. He also did a memorable turn as the Cardassian who tortured Picard. Yep. > [@](#): > > 1. Joseph Sisko and Odo might not have much to talk about, but two people who looked a lot like them must have had at least one secret conversation. What was it? Admiral Cartwright and Colonel West conspiring with anti-peace Klingons and Romulans to assassinate Chancellor Gorkon in Star Trek VI. This was a tough one. I was thinking you meant _JAKE_ Sisko for a second too. Were either of them ever in that “Alien Voices” group that Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie set up? ---

In TNG, it’d be Data, and maybe Spot. I was trying to remember if Q ever turned himself into a woman on TNG. He might have impersonated Vash to screw with Picard’s head, but I could just be confusing that with Ardra’s attempt to seduce him in “Devil’s Due.” And I guess the prostitute in “A Fistful of Datas” might count as Data changing sexes too. > [@anyrose](#): > > the character was the same species as Jadzia Dax, but I forgot the species name Odan, and he was supposed to be a Trill before their appearance got changed for DS9. > [@Otto](#): > > Data’s cat, Spot, was repeatedly referred to as “he” until the de-volution episode (I’m terrible at episode names) in which “he” is not only female, but knocked up. Not only that, but he/she managed to change both sex AND species in the span of a single episode. > [@gonzoron](#): > > 1. Which main character was replaced permanently by himself from the near future? I will hazard a guess that, if you meant TNG, it was Captain Picard. It was during the second season, and they found him catatonic in a shuttle with a recording of the Enterprise being destroyed by an energy vortex. I have trouble getting my head around what exactly happened, so I could be wrong. **Pushkin** ’s still right, though. Name five characters that have appeared in at least three Star Trek series, excluding anyone who can might otherwise make the cut because of Trials and “Tribble-ations.” Name/identify the roles of five actors who have played at least three different characters in Star Trek. They don’t necessarily have to be from different series, and the Mirror Universe doesn’t count. Bonus: name 10+. What breed was Captain Janeway’s dog? Also, on the subject of Spot and Star Trek VI, from earlier: What breed of housecat was spot? Who were the crewmembers who shot up Quo’nos 1 wearing magnetic boots? ---

> [@gonzoron](#): > > Argh, I’m so close on this one. They were both in ST VI as members of the conspiracy to disrupt the Khitomer conference. I think Rene Auberjonois’s character was name Colonel West, and I don’t remember Brock Peter’s characters name, or exactly which part of the assassination they were involved in. I don’t think they mentioned anything specific that Cartwright did, but West dressed up as a Klingon to assassinate the Federation Council President. ---

> [@](#): > > Name five characters that have appeared in at least three Star Trek series, excluding anyone who can might otherwise make the cut because of Trials and “Tribble-ations.” I can name several that have been in two, but three? Kirk is, at the very least, mentioned in all but Enterprise, does that count? Did Spock ever show up in the Delta Quadrant? Or on DS9? Do movies count? ---

> [@gonzoron](#): > > 1. Which main character was replaced permanently by himself from the near future? Miles O’Brien, from the episode where he had flashes of jumping forward in time due tto the effects of a cloaked Romulan warbird. By the time Our Fearless Heros managed to get him to do a controlled jump, he was too damaged to survive the jump back, so the future O’Brien took his timeturning gadget and returned to the past to save the day. ---
