Locutus (Picard’s name while assimilated.)
Hugh (Corruption of ‘you’. Given to a borg ‘rescued’ by the Enterprise-D when he didn’t understand the concept of the second person as applied to him.)
Crosis (One of Lore’s drones, originally corrupted by Hugh.)
A ship must make a sudden jump from sub light speed to light speed when approaching an enemy vessel, it will then appear to be in two places at once.
I never understood how that would confuse any but the most primitive of deep space vessels, surely with warp speed in seconds, any navigational/weaponry computer can track ships at warp or impulse with comparitive ease. Especially when the crew of the Enterprise were assaulted using it, they knew what was going to happen. And Data’s response to Riker, that there was no known defence, what defence? They can see where he’s heading, they know what was going on, why were they unable to defend against it? Its like a modern army giving up because a band of militia have decided to try a flanking movement :dubious:
There’s the other 1/2 point!
It’s been a while since I watched TNG, but my understanding is that the attacking ship fires weapons from both positions, effectively attacking from two positions at once. “No known defense” may simply mean that there is no way of being sure to avoid the attack. Not that it matters much, since “evasive maneuvers,” despite being called for countless times, never seemed to be able to avoid many attacks anyway. Those big capital ships just aren’t that nimble, and seem to take a “slug it out” approach, most of the time. It also doesn’t explain why it is only used that one time in the entire franchise. :rolleyes:
Okay, here we go:
-
In an interview given at the time he was filming The Cage, what year did Jeffrey Hunter say the pilot took place in? (He was a good number of years off from what was later established, and seemed to be just guessing, or using the year to give a general notion of the proposed program)
-
? degree[s] of separation–Connect actor Paul Michael Glaser to Star Trek. Bonus “No Prize” if you can do it in more ways than the obvious.
-
Ropbert Bloch used his own short story “Broomstick Ride” as the initial premise for which of the episodes he penned?
-
Which actor gave up smoking during the making of The Voyage Home when he collapsed, unable to draw a breath for several moments, while climbing stairs. The actor was so scared that he immediately went cold turkey. In the next film, the actor has noticeably gained a good deal of weight (perhaps as a result of quitting smoking, perhaps not), but has slimmed back down by the time of The Undiscovered Country.
-
What did De Kelley do to simulate frosted breath during the scenes in the prison complex Rura Penthe in The Undiscovered Country?
Sir Rhosis
Ha, nobody got it, beat ya all. 
DeForrest Kelley played Morgan Earp in Gunfight At OK Corral. And then in a Star Trek episode he got into the same fight, but on the other side.
-
Well, the obvious answer - just one degree of separation - is that both he and David Soul (who played a native in TOS “The Apple”) were in Starsky and Hutch. I could complicate it a little by linking Glaser to Soul and then to Reggie Nalder, who played both the Andorian ambassador in TOS “Journey to Babel” and also the vampire Barlow in the first TV movie of Steven King’s 'Salem’s Lot, in which Soul played the protagonist. Howzat?
-
TOS “Catspaw”?
-
James Doohan, I suspect.
179 and 180 are correct. 181 is incorrect. I think Doohan gave them up after his '81 bypass. Anecdote: Back in the days of mail-order, some fan, from whom I had bought some ST posters, listed in her catalog cigarrette butts that Doohan had smoked at a con. I guess she went around scooping up the stubbed out butts. Needless to say I didn’t feel the need to own this priceless piece of memorabilia.
Sir Rhosis
181: I believe it was Leonard Nimoy.
Yes for Nimoy. Gave up cigs and sobered up around the same time, according to his autobio. If you look at Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, especially when they are wearing the commando outfits, he has quite the gut and man-boobs, but is skinnied back down for TUC.
Sir Rhosis
-
Name two alien races which practice plural marriage.
-
Who or what killed Tasha Yar?
-
Data, in considering the possible meaning of his dreams, tells Picard that among the Ferengi, the hammer is a symbol of what?
-
Finish the sneering Ferengi insult: “You don’t have the _____.”
-
The Enterprise-C is what class of ship?
186 Lobes
ok let me spout out a few.
-
What is Reliant’s Registration number? NCC-_____
-
Who is the only Red shirt (security, not Scotty) to come back to life after being killed on a mission (In the teaser even)
-
Which episode did 189 Die in and how?
-
What was Kirk’s simple solution to labor problems and social injustice on Planet Ardana
-
How can you connect the Kodak company and Jim Rockford to a Star Trek episode?
Mariette Hartley guest starred in that episode with Mr. Atoz (Mr A to Z, the librarian, get it?) where all the planet’s inhabitants were being sent to the past to escape the dying planet. She was punished for something, so got sent back to the Artic.
There’s a neat book where she conceived a child with Spock in the past, and the boy grows up to actually save the planet. Tomorrow’s Child, maybe?
Anyway, Hartley and Rockford did the Kodak commercials together.
Yep…
- Armus, the oil slick skin of evil
- 1864, iirc.
- Mr Leslie was killed in the teaser of “Obsession,” but Eddie Paskey continued to appear on the show.
And since my questions are so esoteric (nice word for ultra-geeky), I’ll answer one.
- De Kelley, and Shatner for that matter, would take drags off director Nick Meyer’s everpresent cigar, hold it for the scene, then exhale to simulate the cold of Rura Penthe.
Sir Rhosis
Denobulans and Andorians.
Phlox mentions in an episode of Enterprise that he has 3 wives, who each have 3 husbands, who each have… There’s no indication of any limits on this, although it seems clear to me that there is some sort, rather than having all of Denobula ultimately related by marriage.
In an episode of TNG, Data mentions that Andorian marriages take 4 people.
Correct! Obviously you DO have the lobes. 
Nailed it!
And Sir Rhosis is correct as to 184: Armus, the Exxon/Mobil mascot gone bad, killed Tasha Yar.
