"Star TreK" trivia contest

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.

From the trivia I’ve read elsewhere, yes.

For Khan and any other fans of the USS Excelsior design, here are some good pics: Ex Astris Scientia - Starship Gallery - Excelsior

Google Images will also turn up a bunch.

“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.

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.

Portrait in Black and White became Let That Be Your Last Battlefield, although I can’t actually place the line. Whence comes it?

Without knowing anything about this author, all I can think of is “Let This Be Your Last Battlefield” :slight_smile:

Paul

Damn, I take my time previewing these days, beat me to it it seems. I can’t remember the line being uttered in the episode though.

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

Correct.

I’m gonna guess that they misspelled Chekov as “Checkov.”

I’m looking at the pics of the Excelsior and the B in your link, and I can’t see any difference. What’s this horrible design change?

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.

No, it was not Chekov’s name which was misspelled.

Sir Rhosis

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.

Here are similar angle shots on the Excelsior variants:

Original
Enterprise-B

Notice the front ends of the nacelles, the rear of the saucer, and those stupid “jowls” they put on the sides of the secondary hull.

The Conscience Of The King, I presume (From Hamlet.)
Or possibly Mirror Mirror from the line “Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all” in Romeo & Juliet.

what?

Took out the coding as they don’t allow hotlinking in EAS :slight_smile:

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.

Correct, Peter. It was the original title of The Conscience of The King.
