Inspired by Doping with Viva and Aesiron last night, I thought of a new Star Trek trivia game.
Here’s how it will work.
Post answers or questions.
Please limit questions to 3 per post. You can always come back.
Please quote question and credit Doper who posted it when answering.
Make it as hard or as easy as you wish, but please have a verifiable source for the answer. This can include books about the series (but no fiction books, not even DS-9), the shows themselves, and online sources.
When someone gets your question right, let us know. Wait 3 tries before answering your own question if everyone gets it wrong.
All series (except animated) and movies are open game.
Some of you will be more knowledgable in one series than another. Don’t be shy. Just post away.
If everyone’s been on DS-9 for a few posts and you have a Voyager question, post it!
It’s all for fun.
I’ll be mostlyTOS and TNG myself, so some of your Qs on other series will probably stump me.
Ready?
***Star Trek Trivia!***
In Star Trek - The Motion Picture, who was Captain Will Decker’s father?
In Shore Leave, what major character gets killed?
What TOS episode first introduced us to time travel? (Bonus: Why did it happen?)
This crowd will easily pick off the simple ones. Try these on for size:
What starship was commanded by Captain Edward Jellico?
What kind of animal did Worf have as a child?
What was the name of the Earth conflict in which Khan Noonien Singh rose to power?

Well, I think I know that answer to two of Dooku’s questions.
What kind of animal did Worf have as a child?
Was it a targ?
What was the name of the Earth conflict in which Khan Noonien Singh rose to power?
The Eugenics Wars.
That still leaves Dooku’s first question, to which I think I know that answer but am unsure: What starship was commanded by Captain Edward Jellico?
To that I’ll add these:
For how long did Data consider defecting to the Borg (for him, it was an eternity)?
What does Odo mean? Or, from what does the security chief on DS9 get his name?
Very sly, mister. Took me a while find as I couldn’t remember what series I heard that name in.
What starship was commanded by Captain Edward Jellico?
Enterprise NCC-1701D during episode Chain of Command - Part 1
Now that’s a trivia gamer thing to do!
Man, the DS-9 Q is stumping me so far.
I’ll give you half credit for that one, b/c I wasn’t clear. I was looking for the starship he officially commanded. He was given temporary command of the NCC-1701D.
Which two Voyager characters appeared in TNG? (not as the same people however)
Tim Russ (Tuvok) played “Devor” in the episode “Starship Mine,” and also appeared in ST: Generations as a crewmember on the Enterprise-C. (I’ll count that as a TNG movie). He also appeared as both Tuvok and another character on DS9.
Ethan Phillips (Neelix) appeared as “Dr. Farek” in the episode “Menage a Troi.” He was also a Ferengi on Enterprise.
What does Odo mean? Or, from what does the security chief on DS9 get his name?
His full name is something like Odo’ital… it’s Cardassian and literally means “nothing”. I think I have that right.
NCB, I believe Family’s the only TNG episode with no bridge scenes. Cite for the second episode?
Okay… some of my own:
How many hosts has the Dax symbiote had?
What were McCoy’s peripheral tricorder scanners in actuality?
What was the original name of Tasha Yar? And who was originally intended to play her?
