OK, basically you've got to stump everyone... make the questions clever but not impossibly difficult.

If you get it right - just ask your own in the same thread.

OK.

Question 1: Which character has appeared in every Modern Trek incarnation? Name the character and the actor.

Q, John DeLancie

Question 2: [snip]Had a spoiler[/snip]

(New) Question 2:

Which Federation officer has had 4 different official Starfleet uniforms (seen on screen), not counting a change in the amount of pips or alternate timelines? Name the character and the actor (Note: It can be a male or a female).

Whoops. Danged alternate timeline...

Posted by Michael Dracon (Member # 4) on :

There really is an answer to the question

I looked it up just in case.
Note: The extra lines seen in the first (and second ??) season of TNG that were removed does also NOT count as a change!! Also the special dress uniforms do not count either. All 4 uniforms were worn for at least 1/2 a year (Star Trek time).

You do not need to have knowledge of DS9 season 7 or Voyager season 5 & 6 to answer the question.

When no-one knows the answer for to long a time, I'll provide you with a hint...

Here's my question:

What was the first episode to show Picard saying, "Tea. Earl Grey. Hot."

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Jeff: I believe you're supposed to get one right before you start asking... :-)

Altair: Uh... This isn't hard at all. I'd say the entire TNG main cast qualifies. They had the early TNG uniforms, the later TNG uniforms, the Generations uniforms, and the FC uniforms. In addition, Picard even had the old red uniform in "Tapestry", making five for him.

------------------
"To make the merry-go-round go faster, so that everyone needs to hang on tighter, just to keep from being thrown to the wolves."
-They Might Be Giants, "They Might Be Giants"

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

Yeah, but worf has:
I) The Early red TNG one
II) The Later gold TNG one
III) The Red Shouldered DS9 one
IV) The Grey Shouldered DS9 one

He said that the early TNG and new TNG weren't different enough to count. (Worf's is because it's a different color).

You're right about Picard though.

*sigh* never mind then... I don't think I like Trek trivia anymore. Its a thin line between trekkies and trek-geeks.

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

In response to Jeff's question, I believe the episode was "Contagion". Picard's talking to Wesley in the Ready Room. He goes over to the replicator and requests tea. The replicator spits out a flower in the cup, a result of the Iconian program infecting the E-D's computer.

Dilbert: "Then how do I turn you off?"
7: "Believe me, I am plenty turned off."

WOW!! Easy there!

Yes, it was supposed to be Worf...

Sorry about the fuss, I forgot about the early TNG uniforms...

Maybe it is better to confirm the answer before there can be a new question by the first person with the right answer.

I believe it is Ultra Magnus who is next in line for a new question...

Er, uh, hmm. I'm not good at this stuff.

How many different commbadges were used in TNG?

------------------

-Mark Twain

Posted by Michael Dracon (Member # 4) on :

4?

Early TNG
Late TNG (also seen in DS9/Voyager)
Parallels (with the horizontal bars)
All Good Things

I'll wait with the next one until Ultra Magnus gives a sign

I have a few Trivia up my sleve. If you people like to test yourself I'll make a new tread with just my Trivia...

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

To get it right, you should say the amount, and which ones. (It's too easy if you just guess a number.)

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Posted by AndrewR (Member # 44) on :

Hmmmmm, can I just reask my first question - but feel free to answer the others first...

Which Cast character appeared in TNG, DS9 and Voyager as the same character.

------------------

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

As in, main caracter of a series? Quark has been in all three, and I think Riker may have been, although now that I think about it, only the Tom Riker version was on DS9.

"So, anyways, this is the 24th century. Starfleet officers have injections once a month or so so that they don't go getting each other pregnant. How would it be a problem for my character and Joral to be rocking the casbah?" - Fabrux

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

As for the comm-badges, there was the early TNG ones, Wesley's special silver one, the later TNG ones (no black outline, IIRC), the DS9/Voyager one in Generations, plus the Future Imperfect/Parallels one, and finally the future AGT one. So, that's six, I guess.

Also, if you count episodes like "Tapestry" and "Yesterday's Enterprise," there were the movie-era badges too. So, seven total.

[This message has been edited by The Shadow (edited March 19, 2000).]

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

I'll give it to Frank, even though the DS9/VOY ones weren't in TNG. (Just Generations, and that's a movie and would be specifically outlined).

Six it is.

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

OK...the question:

In TNG, what was the first Starfleet ship we saw whose model wasn't originally created for the TOS movies?

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

Aaahhh....trick question. The USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D, of course.

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

That was too easy.

UM gets it.

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

Alright, what was the first Starfleet ship we saw other than the Enterprise in TOS?

------------------
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."
-Mark Twain

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

If you're counting shuttles, it was the Galileo...if not, it was the Constellation.

Posted by Vacuum robot lady from Spaceballs (Member # 239) on :

I was thinking of the Galileo, so your turn.

------------------
"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education."

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

We need harder questions.

Besides the Enterprise itself, what ship have the most TOS-era crewmembers served on?

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

The Enterprise-A? ;-)

I'll say the Excelsior, since it had two (Sulu and Rand), while others mentioned/seen only had one.

The Enterprise-A shouldn't count.

I was indeed thinking of the Excelsior...Scotty was part of its crew for a short while too.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Okay, let's see... From what movie was the Rura Penthe warden's speech in ST6 paraphrased?

------------------
"To make the merry-go-round go faster, so that everyone needs to hang on tighter, just to keep from being thrown to the wolves."

Bah! This is going to end up going back and forth like the SSAs... :-)

When was the Prime Directive first defined? Not mentioned, but actually explained.

"A Piece of the Action"?

Posted by Aethelwer (Member # 36) on :

Nope.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

How about "Bread and Circuses", then? (I forgot that "A Piece of the Action", which spells out the Prime Directive best, IIRC, came a few episodes after "Bread and Circuses" and "A Private Little War".)

"Hey! You quoted me!" - Fabrux to Frank G, March 21

Yup, it's "Bread and Circuses." Your turn.

Alright...

Who was the first person to be revived from stasis/cryosuspension (or whatever the case may be) on TNG?

Was it that ensign-of-the-week that Q froze and thawed out? Or were they even thawed out...

------------------

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Tasha Yar got defrozen, but Ensign Nameless died (in "Encounter at Farpoint"), IIRC. But nope, I'd hardly consider that to be stasis. After all, it killed Ensign Nameless (and it was Q, too

) and didn't appear to be preserving them for later reawakening.

There's not nearly as much doubt regarding my example being a form of stasis as this; don't worry.

Oh, and you get bonus brownie points for telling me the episode, too.

[This message has been edited by Elim Garak (edited March 21, 2000).]

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

Was the ensign killed? Because the encyclopedia claims that Mr. Singh from "Lonely Among Us" was the first E-D crewmember to die...

Anyway, was it Tasha Yar or that other lady in "Code of Honor"? I don't really recall how the fight at the end of that was resolved, but I know that both of them survived, so it seems that it might have involved one of them being put into stasis. But that's just speculation. I haven't seen that ep in a while...

I recall him dying, but he may not have died...

Regarding "Code of Honour", I don't recall either one of them being put in stasis, but if they were...

------------------
"Hey! You quoted me!" - Fabrux to Frank G, March 21

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

I'm inclined to say Lore, but he was reassembled and reactivated, not revived from stasis or cryosuspension.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

And that's after the incident I'm thinking of, anyway.

Heh heh heh.

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Okay, it's between "Code of Honour" and "Datalore". And the person who was revived wasn't a Federation citizen, nor were they even of a race in the Federation. And he/she was rather old. Just marginally a senior, here.

------------------

Well, after consulting with the Chronology, I'm saying it's Portal of the Tkon Empire.

me: "I need a new sig..."
CC: "Well create one."
-why I don't have a real signature

Posted by Elim Garak (Member # 14) on :

Portal 63 is the correct answer. IIRC, it's implied or stated that the protector was awoken from his "hibernation/stasis," and the Encyclopedia confirms that.

PopMaze's turn.

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

Let's see...
Which senior officer (on any of the series) served on the most ships. Name the officer, the number of ships, and the ship names. Must be specific ships and numbers. Not something like he/she served on cruisers, freighters, scouts, etc. without specific numbers.

------------------
7 alarm clock: "Do not touch me."
Dilbert: "Then how do I turn you off?"
7: "Believe me, I am plenty turned off."

Posted by Fabrux (Member # 71) on :

Doctor Leonard H. McCoy, served on:

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701
U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A
U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-B (or C, not known exactly)

The encyclopedia says that McCoy served on 3 ships named Enterprise...

It's not McCoy.

Although I've never heard of him serving on 3 Enterprises. I thought it was just -nil and -A.

But, still not him.

U.S.S. Pegasus NCC-53847
U.S.S. Potemkin NCC-18253
U.S.S. Hood NCC-42296

Posted by Dat (Member # 302) on :

After thinking about my question more, I realize it could have been Benjamin Sisko as well. He was on the Livingston, the Okinawa, the Saratoga, and both Defiants...although you could say Defiant and Sao Paulo.

I would not have accepted Scotty. He said he served on 11 ships including freighters, cruisers, and starships (both Enterprises and the Excelsior). He did not give us the name of the other 8 ships he was on. And I wanted names!

Still since Fabrux came up with an answer that was right, it's still his turn.
