"Star Trek" trivia contest

They wanted Enterprise gone so they wouldn’t find out that most of them (all except Rene, I think?) were holographic recreations of his dead family/friends. (I may be confusing the details with the DS9 episode Shadowplay, but that would be due to the fact that they were nearly the same episode with different character names.)

Tony Todd’s on the 3+ list too, I think. Kurn, son of Mogh, Grown-up Jake Sisko, and something on Voyager…

Yeah that was the cheapest “We can’t aford the special effect shot” cop out ever

Here is a super duper bonus question. What never again used shot was used to honour the guest star and what show was it a cheap homage to.

Two of my questions have been answered incorrectly.

James Doohan was not the other cast member to wear a hairpiece in the TOS movies besides Shatner.

Jacques was not the original first name of Captain Picard.

And a half-right one. “Bem” was the TAS episode to state Tiberius was Kirk’s middle name.

Still waiting to see if anyone knows where Mr. Scott’s first name of Montgomery came from.

… but what it failed to confirm was that the character in Generations was a young Vulcan Tactical lieutenant named Tuvok. So, no biscuit.

That’s pretty much what I was trying to say. That the “Vulcan Death Grip” doesn’t exist but that what Spock did to Kirk and called the “Vulcan Death Grip” was simply a fake of the real nerve pinch. I thought that was the distinction Malacandra was going for by putting quotes around it in the first of the two questions.

Maybe I’m being whooshed, but Russ did not play Tuvok in “Generations.” He was just a human officer.

Russ was also in the TNG episode which all call “Die Hard on The Enterprise” (I forget the title–Picard is trapped aboard by terrorists and does his Bruce Willis number.

Q: What is the name of the Klingon mercenary Kirk promised to kill but didn’t?

A: Maltz.

Q: What major change occurred in the concept for Wesley Crusher’s character before Wil Wheaton took the role?

My memory isn’t what it was on this, but wasn’t it going to be a female?

It? Good description of the character.

Yes, Lesley Crusher became Wesley Crusher.

Sir Rhosis

Wesley Crusher wasn’t female?!

I have three unanswered questions…obviously you all fear me.

> Reversing a previous question, what character has been played by the most actors?
> Name all of Kirk’s known relatives.
> According to Uhura, what color is the ball?

That would be Nameless person in red shirt that dies on the away mission. (not how it’s normally credited) :smiley:

No, the “Vulcan Death Grip” ostensibly used in The Enterprise Incident is indeed a fake (not even very much like the nerve pinch, it’s a kind of face-grab IIRC). However, in “Journey to Babel” Spock’s father Sarek is in the frame for the murder of some guy whose neck appears to have been broken using a Vulcan technique known as tal-shaya, which Spock logically confirms Sarek is (a) skilled, and (b) physically competent, enough to have used. Though not called a “Vulcan Death Grip”, this seems to be close enough to a VDG-without-quotes for all practical purposes.

That would be wrong.

Nope, again Will Riker was second. A hint: it was someone very close to Will Riker.

Fine fine, for my serious attempt at this one. Amanda, Sareks wife. Jane Wyatt originally and another actress in Final Frontier. And wasn’t she voiced by Majel Barrett in the animated series? (I really, really want to look this up!!! Dratted rule.)
So that would make three.

Not even close.

How about Q (since all members of the continuum go by that name)?

Interesting guess, but no. It’s a single character played by multiple actors

Nice hint. Former Starfleet lieutenant Thomas Riker.

Dax. If that’s wrong, then Odo.

He was a human officer in Generations, but he was also a member of the Excelsior’s crew in Star Trek VI. Except he wasn’t a Vulcan in the movie; they just retconned that.

The episode was “Starship Mine.”

Do you mean the Kreetassans?

Dr. McCoy.

In Charlie X, what holiday did Charlie interfere with?

In TOS, who played the cook on NCC-1701?

Trills were changed from the Odan style in TNG to Dax-style in DS9. Where did we first see the latter style?

Some more questions about my namesake:

What was the name of his beloved wife?

What was the name of his right-hand man in STII?

Otto:

Spock? Played by at least three or maybe four boys and young men and Leonard Nimoy in “The Search For Spock.”
