In the series (apart from the technical manuals, I thought canon only included what was on screen?)
[/QUOTE]
Sorry, I meant in chronological order of series broadcast or chonological order by canon (i.e. as broadcast TOS came first but ENT as a prequel came first in canon chronology)
It turns out I wasn’t in a position to answer your question, Pushkin. When I responded I actually had in mind a question that I decided not to ask. tdn asked about separating the middle and ring fingers, so I don’t know if he meant within the series chronology or in real time. The list I put together further back is just what hasn’t been answered so far from the previous pages.

That’s a very big hint. A piece of the action
[/QUOTE]
Correct. The story that Ronald D. Moore pitched was this. Sisko and crew return to Iotia to discover that the communicator which Doctor McCoy accidentally left behind a century earlier has caused an upheaval in the imitative Iotian society. They figured out how to use the communicator to tie into Federation databases (or something like that). They then proceeded to download all the logs of the various adventures that Kirk and his Enterprise were involved in. They became such devotees of Kirk and his crew that they have patterned their entire society on them. They dress like the various Star Fleet officers on that ship, gather together in huge convention halls and act out the many adventures.
In short, they have become rabid Trekkies…

I’ll go ahead and answer one of my more obscure ones. A character (Lindstrom) is beaned by the rock while running away during Festival in the episode “The Return of The Archons.”
Khan, thank you VERY much for compiling the as-yet unanswered questions. That was on my weekend to-do list but I wasn’t able to do it. Well done! I think you’re missing, though, this question:
Near what nebula is the Enterprise-D to meet the USS Kearsarge in TNG “Firstborn”?
All of the answers you suggest are accurate, I believe (I’d posted questions 82, 84, 85 and 117, and you got those right).
As for…
I wasn’t thinking of habeas corpus (is that even mentioned in an episode? Which one, or in what context? I don’t remember that at all). Care to guess again?

141.) What recently discovered phenomenon was the Voyager’s warp drive designed to accommodate?
[/QUOTE]
It’s that, umm, warp drive pollution of subspace thing, isn’t it? (Please don’t ask me to quote the exact technobabble … ) The Voyager’s variable-configuration warp nacelles allow it to travel faster than Warp 5 without tearing holes in the space-time continuum, or whatever all that was about.

131. Near what nebula is the Enterprise-D to meet the USS Kearsarge in TNG “Firstborn”?
I wasn’t thinking of habeas corpus (is that even mentioned in an episode? Which one, or in what context? I don’t remember that at all). Care to guess again?
[/QUOTE]
You’re welcome. Sorry about 131.
I came up with Habeas Corpus through some half-assed mixing of the anti-changeling hysteria on Earth leading up to the Dominion War, the Bashir/Romulus/Section 31 conspiracy episode (even though that has nothing to do with Habeas Corpus), and various questionable activities in the war on terror.
Guess I didn’t really think that one through, huh?
138.) for Pushkin
140.) for Pushkin and Peter Morris
141.) for Steve Wright
145.) They named him Locutus, as Peter Morris said, but until then any self-reference by the Borg involved “we.” Locutus was the first Borg to use first-person singular.
149.) USS Grissom
150.) The actor who played the Captain of the Enterprise-B in Generations is famous for his role in a 1980’s comedy. Who is the actor, and what was the movie?
151.) What seemingly anachronistic ornament did Dr. Crusher wear in an early TNG episode?
152.) Within the timeline of the Star Trek universe, what members of the TOS Enterprise senior staff have we not heard from since the end of the 23rd century? (flashbacks don’t count)
153.) What part of Data’s positronic net got damaged, leading to his blowing the cover of the observation post on the Baku planet in Insurrection?
154.) What present-day slang/metaphor did Geordi learn from Zefram Cochrane that he found particularly funny in First Contact?
146.) The M5 computer used the Enterprise to take out the USS Excalibre or Excalibur, I can’t remember the spelling.
152.) I think the big three and Scotty made it through to TNG and the movies. The only ones who didn’t IIRC, were Sulu, Chekov and Uhura. Sulu appears in a Voyager flashback so we’re not to count him right? Dammit why didn’t we see more of him as captain :mad:
McCoy appears in the TNG pilot, Kirk appears in Generations and is mentioned in the Naked Now, Spock appears in Reunification and Scotty manages to hide himself in suspended animation till TNG times.
154.) Geordi found it amusing to refer to urination as needing a leak.
150.) The actor who played the Captain of the Enterprise-B in Generations is famous for his role in a 1980’s comedy. Who is the actor, and what was the movie?
[/QUOTE]
Alan Ruck, who played Cameron in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
In which episode does Kirk wear all three kinds of Starfleet shirt?
TOS “Court-Martial.” He’s got on his green captain’s-choice shirt when he reports to Commodore Stone on Finney’s supposed death, his dress-uniform shirt during the court-martial, and his regular Command-gold shirt in several other scenes, including when he fights Finney in Engineering (and gets his shirt torn, of course).

No prob. I don’t believe habeas corpus has ever been mentioned in ST (although that episode would be a natural place to do it). I was actually thinking of grand juries, which have become less common in both the American (state) and British legal systems in recent years. Odo is escorting/guarding Quark on the way to testify before a Federation grand jury in a DS9 episode; they get stuck on a forested world and have to work together to survive after a bomb destroys their Runabout.
I’ll also answer this one, since no one else has:
When discussing a knotty time-travel conundrum, Janeway tells Kim that if he doesn’t believe her, he should ask…who?
Answer: Himself! Kim recorded a message to himself in his own past, which Janeway suggests he watch.
In TOS “Dagger of the Mind,” Kirk saves the day with the help of what lovely Enterprise doctor?
In TNG “The Defector,” Picard watches as Data plays what Shakespearean role on the Holodeck? (Incidentally, Patrick Stewart plays another role in the same scene).
The second ship of the Enterprise, NX-01, class is named the…?
The names of these two noteworthy American Civil War ships were given to TNG-era Nebula-class starships.
The Cardassian equivalent of the CIA was called what?
