Who can stump me on Star Trek Trivia??

[G5orbust]

I wana see who can.....

Requirements: You have to know the answer yourself, cannot be vague, like whats mcCoy's dog's name (but i do know kirks dogs name, hehe)

[Mr. Anderson]

a lot of this can be found on the internet - so its not much of a challenge, especially if you have plenty of time to research the answer. Why are you trying to have us stump you, though?

Is it the whole universe, ST - original series through to Voyager, or only the current ones?

[Sun Baked]

James Doohan lived across/down the street from this famous person (not an actor) who was famous in his field of work, died because of it, and whose life story and that of his wife and daughter spawned a book, movie and tv series...

Who was he? And what did he do for a living?

[Durandal7]

What was the name of the Romulan leader that Garak killed in order to bring the Romulans into the Dominion War?

What alien group was Worf considering leaving Starfleet for after the destruction of the Enterprise?

What was the name of the device to be used to expose the Gowron changeling? And what device was inevitably used to expose the Dominion imposter?

I'll leave it for a while, some of the more intense Star Trek trivia nerds "should" know it...

James Doohan was a "close" family friend and did go on occasional jobs with this guy, and it is one of the more interesting home businesses to find in a neighborhood.

Well done. I was seeing if you knew of the Constitution Class ship. You could say there are 3 if you count both of the DS9 versions.

The mirror universe one? I was talking about the second Defiant, after the 1st one was destroyed by the Dominion/Breen.

[G5orbust]

i have a question for all of u:


A man created duotronics and subsequently a newer, more self aware computer system?

Who was this man and what was his better computer system called??


Also, what was quark's ship called?

I sort of like what famous incident was Quark's ship responsible for?

But that's a little too easy...

[Durandal7]

I didn't even think of the mirror universe. At one point in the series the Defiant was destroyed and a new ship was sent and re-christened Defiant.

Who went on a suicide attack against the Dominion to avenge Jadzia's death?

[G5orbust]

i have another question for u guys:

The person who played the "traveler" ( the man who catapults the Enterprise to galaxy m33, then farther beyond that) also tried out for the part of one of the leading cast members in ST:NG. By leading, i mean like bridge/important people.

What part was it that he tried for and who plays that part now??

(Hint, its not riker or picard)

Okay here's a toughie;
On what deck (Enterprise-D) is the Crtatean Navigation Lab (a.k.a. the dolphin tank)?

[Mr. Anderson]

In a cameo on the ST:TNG, Scottie was found somewhere - what was it and what is it named after?

And a modified version of it can be found in a couple places.....

D

[PCUser]

Scottie was found in the transporter, which he had locked in a diagnostic cycle many years before to keep himself alive, inside of a ship that had crashed on a big spherical structure they called a Dyson (SP?) sphere, because it was large enough to encompass a star and a I think a planet's orbit.

"Relics". One of my favorite shows. :)

(Scottie was a passenger on the ship and had been on his way to a place to stay for retirement... can't remember where off the top of my head, though)

[Mr. Anderson]

Pretty good off the top of your head - yep it was a Dysons Sphere. Anyone get the other parts without doing any research on line?

D

[GeeYouEye]

The Dyson sphere was named after some guy who came up with the concept. The ship Scotty was on was the Jenolan and the destination was the Norpin colony.

Here's one: Throughout the series, how many times did Picard take command of the Enterprise, excluding "Encounter at Farpoint"?

[Durandal7]

Here's an easy one:

Who is credited as being the first to say "to boldly go where no man has gone before?"

Erm, I guess that's true. I'll be a bit more specific, who in the Star Trek timeline first said that.

Anyone know what Jefferies Tubes are named after?

How about the where do you find the 'Heisenburg Compensators' and what do they do?

[G5orbust]

Originally posted by dukestreet

In the warp core and tehy regulate i think eitehr plasma flow or anitmatter-matter reactions

-------------------------OR------------------------------

they are part of the inertial dampening system and are found in the hull of the ship

[PCUser]

Aren't the 'Heisenburg Compensators' part of the transporter system that accounts for the Heisenburg Uncertainty Prinicple saying you can't measure two parameters without modifying the other (or something, don't remember specifics)? Sorry, it's late, and off the top of my head... :)

[Sun Baked]

Speaking of naming things after people working in and around Star Trek, the Shatner Class has got to be a big ego boost...

Especially when you're able to aspects of it included in one of the ST Movies.

---

C'mon the full name shouldn't be that hard, and also how they included it in the movies either.

[GeeYouEye]

The Jeffries Tubes are named after Matt Jeffries, designer of the original Enterprise, and the Heisenberg compensators are found in the transporter system, and they work "very well, thank you." And yes, all my answers are and have been off the top of my head. And if it wasn't GR, then it was either Pike or Kirk. Though I don't know if it was ever said in dialogue, since I never saw the episode of that name in TOS.

Masaka:Corgano :: ??:?? and how old is the D'Arsey array?

That would be correct - but the thing is, I really love when the 'scientists' working on the show (they actually have some consultants who know a few things) come up with stuff like this.

You could have called it a 'Flux Capacitor' and it would be about as meaningful....

But they try so hard some times to stay in realm of real physics, but in other cases its just blatantly nuts. Species 8472 came from a liquid universe? Please, the densities of the the aqueous 'space' would cause things to collapse into planets, suns and black holes - provided that the laws of physics are the same as in our universe, and if they weren't, well, you really wouldn't be able to cross back and forth. And this is just one example, there are many.

Data sorta falls in love with Tasha Yar, but not really, since he is technically incapable of it, especially during that point in the series.

And no, Picard never hit on alien chicks... the reverse is not true though.

Its sort of a multi forces space initiative.

And you got to love the blue babes that Kirk always seemed to find in every episode....

i watched star trek initially because it was more interesting than the stuff on the other channels in the same time slot...i don't think it is the greatest show of all time, but the original series was always in my top five any tv season

i liked battlestar gallactica better but it was shorter lived overall

to me, trivia is unimportant information that is a waste of one's time and life energy;)

It has always seemed a bit corny, and every other sentence has the word data in it, which annoys me. My perfect TV show would be a general computer show with 30 minute episodes that had both mac and PC rumors, announcments, tips, tricks, etc.

[scem0]

I am sure that I am about to be told that there already is one, and then I will feel stupid.... ;)

Will Riker? He started out without a beard and then had it permanately in the later seasons.

I think he commanded the Enterprise, he was from the future, he went to the neutral zone (well, its not the neural zone in the future, but the Devron system), picard travelled on Beveraly Crushers ship, I can't think of the name. The federation was in conflict with the klingons, and data was a professor at Oxford.

Hey edvniow, better check your blueprints again. The Cretatean Navigation Lab is on two decks, if I remember right.

What I love about the blueprints is that the botany lab is shown on the outside views, but never appears on any of the deck plans.

And while I am at it, how many shuttle craft are on the Enterprise-D and what where their names?

I cheated by scouring online but I you got me curious and here's what I found. I think there are 13:
Fermi (#9), Justman (#3), Goddard?, Sarkharov (#1), ? (#13), Hawking, Curie, Magellan

And those are all the names I could find.

Still waiting on "what was Barclay's first assignment?"

Miles O'Brian (Colm Meany (sp?)) was the transporter cheif in TNG, and the Chief of operations on DS9, starting at the end of the sixth season of TNG.

Scott Bakula is the captain of Enterprise NX-01, in the show Enterprise, which is a prequal taking place in 2151. It's not that great a show.

Don't you remember in one of the movies with Kirk and Spock, when they have the meeting with the Klingons after Praxis blows up - I forget the name now, sorry. But Chekov's ship had china and a regular kitchen - they tried to go low tech but I think it failed, especially since in the original series, all food was dispenced through the food replicators even then.

I guess you guys see a parallel in your life and/or see a possibility of the future playing out as the episodes of ST. In a way it's not any different than reading a philosophy book on ethics and studying hypothetical situations. Except yours plays out on the TV screen.
