[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] I don’t think so. I have another episode in mind, which I saw not long before I started this thread. [/QUOTE] Damn, now I’ve been refuted I’m remembering them in all the episodes I listed… I’ll go with Space Seed as my second and final guess, so that I don’t end up answering correctly by default. [QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Will Ferrell’s character in _Zoolander_, wasn’t it? [/QUOTE] From the trivia I’ve read elsewhere, yes. ---

[QUOTE=Monstre] 121. In the TNG series finale, “All Good Things…”, older Picard says angrily, “Where’s the anomaly, Q?!” Q, mocking him in the guise of an old man, replies… ? [/QUOTE] “Where’s your mommy?! I don’t know where your mommy is.” or words to that effect. Also, 112: Scotty called the Excelsior a “bucket of bolts.” My questions: 1. What is the English translation of Pavel (as in Pavel Chekov)? 2. Follow up to 120. What was the horned white furry creature actually called in the shooting script? Why was the name changed to Mugato? 3. Which character name (one of the regulars) was misspelled in the credits for **The Undiscovered Country**. How was it mispelled? 4. The original title of this TOS episode was _Portrait In Black and White_. What was the final title, courtesy of the playwright who left his second-best bed to his wife in his will? 5. Todd Bryant played Klingon Captain Klaa in **The Final Frontier**. Name his two other TOS film roles. Sir Rhosis ---

Honestly, I’m not trying to spam, but since this is a Star Trek trivia thread, I should include my sig. I own a ton of TOS scripts, and do little reviews of them for a fanzine publisher’s website. See the link in my sig if you’re interested in some things that never made it to air. Sir Rhosis ---

You’re both wrong in answering “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield.” The title that the episode originally called “Portrait In Black and White” finally aired under is taken from a line by Shakespeare, the guy who left his second-best bed to his wife. Though I do see that “Portrait In Black and White” would fit “Battlefield” better. Correct on Pavel=Paul. Sir Rhosis ---

[QUOTE=Elendil’s Heir] Yep, I think it was the Mirror Universe Kirk, who said something to Spock like “You want money? Power? A ship of your own? I can get that for you, Spock.” To which Spock replied (with possibly his best delivery of the entire series), “Fascinating.” [/QUOTE] I also loved his deadpan “I can answer none of your questions at this time” in response to Mirror-Kirk’s ranting demands to know what happened to his personal guard, his uniform, etc. ---

112.) **Pushkin** got “The Great Experiment,” and **Sir Rhosis** got “Bucket of bolts.” And good call on EAS, **Elendil’s Heir**. I think a good portion of my trivia knowledge comes from reading his occasional analyses. I’d have never noticed a lot of the stuff I now know otherwise.

Sorry, messed that one up too :rolleyes: But I see what Khan means, for Generations the Enterprise B Excelsior class was beefed up in the same way the Ford Mustang Mach 1 was compared to the sleeker original. ---
