After tending to the Horta, Dr. McCoy says he’s beginning to think he can cure… what?
-
Data briefly commands this starship during the Klingon Civil War.
-
The observation deck above the Enterprise’s main shuttlebay is shown in only one TOS episode, when Kirk and a female guest visit it. Which episode?
-
Near what nebula is the Enterprise-D to meet the USS Kearsarge in TNG “Firstborn”?
-
This nutty high-ranking Starfleet officer isn’t the co-host of “Wayne’s World,” he’s… who?
- “a rainy day.” (IIRC)
- Uh, one which has a title which is from a play by a certain playwright who left his second-best… (IIRC)
- Looooord Garth of Izar (Garth of Titan in the first draft, btw)
I still have a few unanswered, so I won’t ask any new ones.
Sir Rhosis
Yep – close enough. If I recall correctly (and I think I do, because it was one of my favorite Q lines), it was:
Q (in old man voice): “What? Where’s your mommy? Why… I don’t know!”
Here are two kinda similar POVs on the Excelsior class. The first is the “clean” view originally seen in “ST III: The Search for Spock,” while the second is the fugly, spare-tire Enterprise-B in “ST Generations.”

Right on all three. Didn’t know about the Titan reference - glad they changed it.
Go ahead, ask some more questions!
Okay, but I’ll give the answer to one of my more obscure ones, since most sane people wouldn’t know it!
The Mugato was called a Gumato in the script, but De Kelley kept mispronouncing it as Mugato, so everybody else called it a Mugato too. I think one line (Shatner’s?) made it into the episode where he calls it a Gumato.
Uh, new questions:
-
Name the TOS film which had these early story/script titles – The War of The Generations, The Omega Syndrome, The Undiscovered Country.
-
Who was considered for the role of a nutty college professor the crew of the Enterprise was to meet in 1986 in The Voyage Home? The role was eventually rewritten to be that of marine biologist Gillian Taylor (Catherine Hicks).
-
A (fake, I hope) rock thrown by one of the natives of a planet bounces off the head of an Enterprise crewman in this episode. The actor ignored it and kept running. Name the episode.
-
In 1996 the producers of DS9 decided to make a tribute to TOS episode. Of course it was Trials and Tribble-ations. What other episode did they almost make a sequel to? Describe briefly what the plot of this ep would have been.
-
What TOS episode’s story outline was called The Sons of Socrates?
Sir Rhosis
129.) The Sutherland.
133.) STII. I know “The Undiscovered Country” was considered, but wtf “Omega Syndrome?” Where’d that come from?
137.) “Plato’s Stepchildren”
136 is damned intriguing. I wish I knew.
Correct on 133 and 137.
The Genesis Device was origianlly the Omega Device, Khan.
Omega, the end, was the connection, I suppose. I’ve never actually read any of the TWOK early drafts, just read synopses of them.
Sir Rhosis
- Eddie Murphy (pretty big clue!)
- TOS “The Apple”?
- Well, there were a couple of DS9 episodes that were sequels to TOS “Mirror, Mirror.” Or were you thinking of something else?
Right. Later referred to, in passing, as a “party ship” or the like on DS9 (apparently the Sutherland’s crew liked to party hearty). Also the name of Horatio Hornblower’s Royal Navy ship of the line, and thus an homage to Roddenberry’s concept of Kirk = Hornblower.
134 is correct, the other two are incorrect.
136–a clue–Sisko and crew would have discovered a planet of imitative Trekkie-like people.
Sir Rhosis
That’s a very big hint. A piece of the action
Here’s a list of the questions that haven’t been answered (completely) so far. There are some that haven’t been confirmed as right or wrong, but I didn’t include those. Apologies if I skipped any, or used any that have already been answered. For the ones I asked or looked up, I put the answers in spoiler boxes.
28.) Which one of Phlox’s pets did he use to clear the Xindi neural parasites out of Hoshi’s nervous system?
They were “no match” for his Osmotic Eel.
29.) How many members of Khan’s crew got killed by the Ceti Eels?
They killed 20 of my people. Including my beloved wife.
31.) What do Bajorans do when somebody dies? For how long?
2-hour death chant
32.) When exposed to the Manheim Effect, Data violates his programming. What does he do that should be unable to do?
He uses a contraction. That one was tough. I was thinking it was something in the plot, not a scripting error.
35.) Name 5 of the ships destroyed by the Borg at the battle of Wolf 359. Bonus: how many Starfleet ships were lost there?
Ones I could remember: Kyushu, Melbourne, Saratoga (Sisko’s ship), Tolstoy, Ahwahnee. 39 losses total.
Others mentioned in the dialogue or shown on screen: Bellerophon, Bonestell, Buran, Chekov, Firebrand, Gage, Liberatore, Princeton, Roosevelt, Yamaguchi
36.) In STIV, what hospital was Chekov taken to after he took a dive off the deck of the “Enterprise?”
Mercy Hospital
40.) What is the combination to Kirk’s safe? (The correct answer can be expressed in three words)
Note: I assume that “get a life” is a joke :dubious:
44.) Name an officer who was among the few in Starfleet never to have tried Romulan Ale.
Admiral William Ross
45.) What cocktail did Data prepare for Deanna Troi after she beat him in a game of 3D chess?
Samarian Sunset. It’s clear until you tap the glass and it turns orange in a lovely display of color.
57.) Spot and her kittens weren’t the only non-humanoids on the Enterprise to fall victim to Barclay’s protomorphosis syndrome. Which other pet did we see transformed, and what did it devolve into? Bonus: identify the mistake in this question.
[spoiler]Picard’s lionfish Livingstone was transformed into a Jellyfish. I actually ran across this a couple days before this thread got started. I’d be willing to bet that no one apart from the production team and the guys who posted that on their site would have ever noticed that.
As for the bonus, only Spot transformed. When Data and Picard saw that the kittens were unaffected, that clued them into how they could cure it.[/spoiler]
68.) What formation [Wesley Crusher and his team] supposed to be flying [when they tried the Kolvoord Starburst and crashed]?
Diamond slot formation.
72.) In ENT: “Vox Sola,” what did crew members of the Enterprise do to inadvertently offend the visiting Kretassans?
They were eating in openly/in public. To the Kretassans, that’s an intimate act akin to mating. Uptight bunch, aren’t they?
76.) What is the Intrepid class’ maximum rated warp speed?
9.975
82.) Name the Federation diplomat who shacks up with Zefram Cochrane.
Nancy Hedford, played by Elinor Donahue
84.) What is Christopher Pike’s highest known rank?
Fleet Captain
85.) The crew of what Vulcan-crewed starship plays the DS9 senior staff in a baseball game?
The T’Kumbra, commanded by Captain Solok.
88.) Apart from phase discriminators, emotion chips (and any associated baggage, eg sadism), and use of contractions mentioned so far, name another way to distinguish Data from Lore.
At least in the first season, Lore had a facial tick.
89.) You might remember that one of Edward Jellico’s first acts as captain of the Enterprise-D was to “get that fish out of the ready room.” What living creature did he essentially replace it with?
He put in a potted plant where Picard’s Shakespeare volume used to be. To be more specific, the plant was some variety of evergreen.
99.) Who were the first people (as far as we know) to separate their middle and ring fingers?
117.) What is Spock’s computer-expert rating?
A7
119.) When discussing a knotty time-travel conundrum, Janeway tells Kim that if he doesn’t believe her, he should ask…who?
125.) Which character name (one of the regulars) was misspelled in the credits for The Undiscovered Country. How was it mispelled?
I’m surprised I couldn’t find an answer for this one even on IMDB.
127.) Todd Bryant played Klingon Captain Klaa in The Final Frontier. Name his two other TOS film roles.
He was the Klingon translator during the trial in STVI, and an engineering Cadet in STII
116.) It just hit me. Habeas Corpus. :smack:
Anyway, time to collect:
138.) What was Captain Archer’s favorite sport?
139.) Name the favorite heated drinks of a few famous 24th century starship captains.
140.) What game did Data lose the Zakdorn observer in “Peak Performance,” the episode where Riker takes on the Enterprise in a war game exercise? What happened in their rematch?
141.) What recently discovered phenomenon was the Voyager’s warp drive designed to accommodate?
142.) Under what circumstances are Starfleet captains no longer bound by the prime directive (at least as far as regulations are concerned)?
I’ve seen that before, but I just figured that someone had gone through the trouble of pausing the DVD and figuring it out! 
:smack:
Water polo IIRC.
Tea?
Do you mean that we see in the series or in canon history?
I can’t remember the name of the game, but in the rematch, Data simply took the game to a complete stalemate, infuriating his opponent (and intriguing the ship’s Doctor)
Transwarp?
When a society can be shown to be stagnating and not likely to progress.
- One of my own now, what technological fear/dislike did Dr. McCoy and Dr. Pulaski share?
Correct.
Be more specific. Note “drinks:” I’m looking for specific favorites of specific people (those people being Picard, Sisko, and Janeway).
In the series (apart from the technical manuals, I thought canon only included what was on screen?)
Correct on the stalemate
No
No
I want to say strategemia
transporter
Picard - Tea, Earl Grey, hot
Sisko - Raktagino ?
Janeway - Coffee.
Captain Sulu also drank tea on duty, as seen in an episode of Voyager.
