That they have no emotions. They do have emotions, they have just learned to suppress them.
Both correct.
- OK, I’ll answer it. I would submit that Starfleet’s unluckiest ship name is Valiant. The first one was destroyed trying to cross the galactic barrier (TOS “Where No Man Has Gone Before”), the second was destroyed when it strayed into the Eminiar-Vendikar interplanetary war (TOS “A Taste of Armageddon”), and the third one was destroyed with a shipful of adult-leadership-deprived Starfleet Academy cadets during the Dominion War (DS9 “Valiant”).
Neither Yorktown nor Defiant have had such ill-fated histories, methinks.
-
Cyrano Jones sold a species of tribble that didn’t reproduce as fast. What did they do instead?
-
As a child, Spock’s life was threatened. How was he saved?
-
Who was the first captain of the Enterprise? (No, not Scott Bakula.)
-
#95 met with a strange fate that afflicted the elderly. What was it? And what danger did it pose to Enterprise?
-
What is one way one could make a gigantic version of the Enterprise?
Correct, I got the ship name in WNMHGB confused, Valiant it is. Defiant being lost twice and the Yorktown not at all.
In fact, I submit that any Starfleet vessel with “iant” in the name is begging for trouble, Valiant, Defiant, Reliant…
-
As of the mid-80s, what actor played more races/species than anyone else?
-
Who were the first people (as far as we know) to separate their middle and ring fingers?
-
There were vast inconsistancies, visually, in ST:TMP. How come?
-
In the same vein, ST V sucked ass, visually. What movie was responsible for that? Explain.
-
In ST VI, a new technology was added to the set. This meant that the actors no longer had to do what?
I’m just going to go ahead and answer this.
Spock’s ears. (May have actually been 1987.)
Ah, getting into the animated series, are we?
- They got really, really big.
- A le-matya, a big electric blue reptilian leopard, attacked him while he was undertakinga traditional Vulcan childhood ordeal. His pet sehlat (giant teddy bear with long fangs) saved him, but was fatally wounded, and he consented to its being put down (TAS “Yesteryear,” written by D.C. Fontana and easily the best of the animated series).
- If you mean Kirk’s Enterprise, that was Capt. Robert April.
- He got younger in a bizarre parallel universe, but so did the Enterprise’s crew, who were reduced to children.
- Um. Tell the Starfleet Corps of Engineers, “Supersize me”?
Mark Lenard? Romulan Commander in “Balance of Terror”, Ambassador Surak and the ill-fated Klingon Captain in TMP.
Although you could argue that James Doohan voiced many of the computers and other non-human entities in TOS and TAS.
Correct on 94, though not the answer I was looking for. I was thinking more along the lines of time travel. (Do I remember right? That may have been a different episode.)
- You’re joking, right?
Yep.
-
I guess I was overthinking it. The adult Spock goes through the Guardian of Forever to study the past, during a time when he was a child. Because he couldn’t be in two places in the same timeline, the child died during the Vulcan ordeal. Spock then goes back again to save the young Spock’s life. Same episode as above, TAS “Yesteryear.”
-
Well, yeah. Not well, obviously.
Spock remembers his cousin being present during his childhood during the time of his trial to mark his ascent to adulthood. His cousin was Spock, sent back in time by the Guardian of Forever to aid him. A change in the timeline had resulted in Spock dying as a child and being replaced as first officer by an Andorian. I can’t remember exactly though the circumstances that Spock was in that required his future self to help.
Great episode BTW, Yesteryear.
You nailed 94.
- My joke answer to your joke answer was, in fact, not a joke.
Clearly the jewel in the plastic crown of that series.
In another TAS episode, the crew were shrunk to such a size that they couldn’t even operate the automatic doors. Can’t remember the episode or circumstances.
And speaking of TAS, I see that Elendil’s Heir beat me to it with Yesteryear.
Hmm, not sure, the only outside cock-up I was aware of was the trouble with the Teamsters (?) Did someone else make a movie at the same time that took up ILM’s time? I’m aware that they did Trek visuals before that.
Oh yeah, I remember that one. Not what I was thinking of, though.
Think inflatable.
Yes.
William Shatner saw that Leonard Nimoy had directed ST IV with great success, and he wanted to have a turn at directing.
[/QUOTE]
While correct, not what I’m looking for. Yes, that’s one of the many reasons why that movie sucked so very much. But I’m thinking of something more technical.
ILM had a lot of big projects that summer. What big blockbuster did most Trekkers (including Walter Koenig) put the blame on?
Oh, I remember now.
- In TAS “Practical Joker,” the Enterprise’s computer somehow develops sentience but then just wants to play jokes on everyone. When the bad guys (Romulans?) attack, it creates a giant inflatable starship that scares 'em off.
