Answer: Turnabout Intruder
This is one of the awful ones, sorry. Although the premise, mind-body exchange, is interesting, the episode is hopelessly chauvinistic, and the last line reflects it. A sad way for the Original Series' final aired episode to end on June 3, 1969.

Answer: Salt
The Salt Monster was analogized in this episode to the Buffalo, the Passenger Pigeon, and the Chameleon. Although her frightening "true form" was never revealed until the very end, she took on many false appearances, chiefly Old Nancy Crater, but also, in order: Young Nancy Crater, Wrigley's Planet girl, crewman Green, Uhura's Swahili fantasy man, and finally Dr. McCoy himself! "The creature leading you a merry chase, Mister Sulu?"

Answer: Jane Wyatt
Nothing had really been mentioned about Mr. Spock's parents to this point in the series. It came as quite a shock to find he has a human mother. If you had shown me a police lineup with ten women and asked me to pick the one I thought was Spock's mother, I am sure Jane Wyatt would've been the last one I would have chosen. Her most well-known TV role was as Margaret Anderson, the mother on "Father Knows Best". (Does that make Betty, Bud and Kathy Spock's step-siblings?)

Answer: The Romulans
We first come across the Romulans in the first series episode "The Balance of Terror" in which the Enterprise comes up against the first Romulan ship to have crossed over the Neutral Zone in a hundred years. Their resemblance to Spock causes the science officer a few problems onboard the Enterprise! The Neutral Zone is also a central element in the episode "The Enterprise Incident" in series 3, where Kirk and Spock deliberately enter it in order to steal the cloaking device that makes the Romulans so difficult to defeat.

Answer: Canada
Quadrotriticale was a four-lobed hybrid grain, derived from wheat and rye. It was also the only grain that could be grown on Sherman's Planet, which both the Federation and the Klingons were trying to claim. The origins of the grain came from triticale, which was discovered in Canada in the 20th Century.
FAST FACT: Triticale does exist. The first successful fertile crossing of wheat and rye occured in the 1930s. In 1953, the University of Manitoba began an active triticale breeding program, which continues to this day.
From Quiz: History According to Chekov
Answer: Pavel
Ensign Pavel Chekov joined the crew of the Enterprise at the beginning of Season 2 of "TOS". Rumors he was put there because the Russians complained were actually initiated by a PR stunt done by Gene Roddenberry himself.
Played by Walter Koenig, Chekov was put on the bridge of the Enterprise because NBC wanted to attract a younger audience to the show by putting a youthful, slightly rebellious "Davey Jones" type character on the show. But, because he had just cut his hair before getting the job, Koenig had to wear a wig for his first few episodes!

Answer: Operating the Transporter
At the beginning of the episode, as Scotty is preparing to beam up Capt. Kirk, there is a close-up of Scotty's hands working the transporter controls. You can see his right hand at the sliders; he tries to hide it with his thumb, but you plainly see one finger on the sliders, and two behind the thumb. There are other occasions in other episodes in which you see a similar (or even the same) shot. Later, as Scotty reaches out to grab the "evil" animal so that Spock can anethsetize it, you can make out the gap where his finger should be.

Answer: Tiberius
The 'T' in James T. Kirk's name stood for Tiberius, a name which was inspired by the Roman emperor Tiberius Julius Caesar Augustus. Creator of Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry chose the name as a symbol of the character's intellectual side, as well as his potential to be a great ruler. Kirk's full name was first mentioned in the Season 2 episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles", and was later confirmed in the Season 2 episode, "Bread and Circuses". The character of James T. Kirk, played by William Shatner, became an iconic figure in pop culture, admired for his bold leadership, wit, and courage. The character has appeared in multiple Star Trek television series and films over the past 50 years, cementing his place as one of the most beloved characters in science fiction history.

The episode is "Devil in the Dark" from series one. The Horta is a silicon based lifeform that lives on mining planet Janus VI and terrifies the miners by attacking them and... melting them into a heap of smoking goo. Kirk and his lot beam down, have a nosey and with the help of Spock's mind-meld strategy, work out that the Horta is attacking people because they are destroying its eggs during their mining. The episode ends with the crew of the Enterprise again managing to find a win-win situation for all parties. The Horta digs the tunnels, the miners mine, and everyone respects the other's space.

Answer: they eliminate the crew's sense of fear by injecting them with tranquillisers
The alien feeds off people's fear, usually women's (because women are more afraid of men, of course...). When the alien tries to terrify the Enterprise crew by threatening to kill them, our team come up with the idea of injecting everyone with a tranquilliser to kill their fear. Kirk comments: "Well, Mr. Spock for the next five or six hours we're going to have the happiest crew in space... of course, we won't get much work done." Unfortunately, it also means he will have no-one to beam back down to the brothel with. Life is hard sometimes.

Yeah... in "By Any Other Name" (Second Season, Ep. 50), Kirk's ship has been hijacked by the Kelvans for a 300-year journey, he and his crew's lives have been threatened, all but four of his crew have been reduced to inanimate dodecahedrons, and the same fate for the rest of the crew is imminent... but hey... Kirk always can find some time for a little "wubba-wubba, ah-ooooooo-gah, gitchy-gitchy"... in fact, it's the only way to save the ship!
