Name That Episode #2 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Masks

This one's a little tricky! The alien artifact, which has downloaded its library into the Enterprise's computer, has already begun gradually transforming the ship into an environment similar to its origins when Geordi and Worf are in engineering, attempting to ready a photon torpedo after a few modifications.

When Geordi realizes that the torpedo isn't responding to controls, he opens up a hatch, only to be startled that there are a nest of snakes crawling around inside (yikes!). In "I, Borg", there was nobody on the ship analyzing a weapon in engineering; the only thing being 'analyzed' in this episode was 'Hugh', the Borg drone itself, by Geordi and Dr. Crusher while inside the science lab.

In "Phantasms", it is in fact discovered that the organisms infesting the ship were attracted to the Enterprise's new warp core, preventing the ship from being able to engage warp speed.

However, this discovery isn't made until the very end of the episode--AFTER Geordi and Picard are able to use Data to rid the creatures by interpreting the android's dreams on the holodeck. By that time, everything onboard the Enterprise was already back to normal.

In "New Ground", the new soliton wave is the only technology in this episode being studied and analyzed, and there are no living lifeforms found inside of it while the experiment is being conducted.

Answer: A Matter Of Honor

As a protective security measure, Worf gives Riker an emergency transponder before the first officer boards the Klingon ship for his learning assignment about the Federation's alien allies. Then remembering the transponder is in his possession later on, Riker gives the device to the Klingon captain, which allows the Enterprise to beam the captain off his own ship, leaving Riker in temporary command of the Klingon ship. Meanwhile, with the Klingon captain now on the Enterprise's bridge, he tries to reach for his hand-held weapon, only to be phasered down by an alert Worf from his tactical station.

In "Code Of Honor", none of the Ligonians are ever zapped with phaser fire, whether it was during their initial visit to the Enterprise or on the surface of their own planet.

In "The Mind's Eye", Worf doesn't fire a phaser at all, but he does take Geordi away into custody when the brainwashed chief engineer attempts to kill the Klingon governor, the attempt thwarted by an alert Picard who grabs Geordi's phaser just in the nick of time as the deadly shot is fired off. Nor does Worf ever fire a phaser in "The High Ground"; he only gets zapped by one of the hand-held projectile weapons of one of the Ansata terrorists who transport onto the Enterprise in a failed attempt to destroy it.

Answer: The Ensigns Of Command

Picard's negotiations with the Sheliak, regarding the evacuation of the humans on Tau Cygna V, hadn't been going too well--that is, until he finds a loophole in the Federation's strict treaty with the mysterious alien empire. Picard cuts off viewscreen communications with the Sheliak representative in mid-sentence, purposely delaying the resumption of the dialogue by walking over to the ship's dedication plaque and dusting it off with a finger. Only after several quiet moments have passed does Picard permit Worf to reopen the communication channels with the angry representative.

Although Picard does communicate with alien representatives via the bridge's main viewscreen in the other three episodes (the men who've accused Okona of theft and impregnating a woman in "The Outrageous Okona", the Ktarian woman Riker met on Risa in "The Game", and the Klingon governor in "The Mind's Eye"), Picard isn't ever seen walking directly to the dedication plaque and dusting it off in any of them.

Answer: Peak Performance

At the end of this episode, the alien named Sirna Kolrami and Data are having their second match in a virtual video game called stratagema in Ten Forward. Unlike in their previous match, Data is able to stay in the game with the alien for an extended period of time. Eventually, Kilrami removes the metallic glove-like devices (which have a creepy resemblance to the glove of knives worn by Freddy Krueger in those "Nightmare On Elm Street" movies!) and slams them down on the game table, angrily confessing that he's been made fun of. Data wins the match by default.

In "The Game", there was no real competition taking place between the alien woman attempting to take over the Federation through the use of her mind-altering virtual reality game devices.

Besides that, the whole 'game' concludes with Data coming to the rescue and subjecting the bridge crew to flashing lights, neutralizing the mind-altering affects of those devices and restoring order to the ship. In "Code Of Honor", Yar and the Ligonian woman do battle it out in hand-to-hand combat at the ceremony near the end of the episode.

The match, however, doesn't end with either one of them becoming disgusted. Yar successfully penetrates the woman's body with her spiked club lined with deadly poison, and as the woman falls unconscious in the enclosed arena, Yar falls on top of her, allowing both women to be transported back to the Enterprise so that the alien can be treated for her injury...and saved from her death. In "I, Borg", the only competition going on in this episode is the fencing match between Guinan and Picard, and the only reason that competition ends is because Picard lets his guard down after his El-Aurian friend fakes an injury.

Answer: The Wounded

When Chief O'Brien transports over to the U.S.S. Phoenix to persuade Captain Maxwell to end the unprovoked attacks on the Cardassian supply ships, he reminisces with the captain about the time they served together, which brings up memories of O'Brien having had to kill a group of Cardassians at the outpost he was once assigned to.

Their conversation further prompts Captain Maxwell to inquire about a song that O'Brien used to sing, which the Enterprise's transporter chief does in its entirety with the captain joining in later and turning the song into a duet. Earlier in the episode, O'Brien had been singing the same song while preparing a meal for Keiko in their quarters, but in that instance, he doesn't complete the song.

In none of the other three episodes is there an Enterprise crewmember singing.

Answer: The Vengeance Factor

Upon setting foot inside the Acamarian outpost, Worf, Geordi, Data and Riker are ambushed by a group of Gatherers. As they're being pinned down by the Gatherers' laser fire, Riker comes up with the idea to fire phasers at a pile of metallic equipment that had been among the various items stolen by the aliens.

The ensuing blasts by Riker, Geordi and Data create a cloud of smoke that distracts the Gatherers long enough for them to sneak up behind the aliens and cease their unprovoked attack. In "The High Ground", the away team to rescue Dr. Crusher and Picard from the Ansata terrorists is armed with phasers, but the Starfleet crewmembers in the team never fire, opting for physical combat to subdue the guards in the underground cavern. Only the Rutia woman in charge of the security detail on the planet fires her weapon, which kills the man named Finn who had held the doctor and the captain prisoner. Nobody on the team ever fires upon an object of any kind.

In "Up The Long Ladder", the only phasers fired by an Enterprise crewmember is Riker's, which he uses to vaporize the clones created from him and Dr. Pulaski in the Marisposan cloning lab.

In "The Ensigns Of Command", Data does fire his hand-made phaser at a structure that's helping to preserve and sustain the civilization, an act of improvisation on his part in an effort to persuade the people that they are in immediate danger from the aliens who want them driven out. However, this wasn't done to provide any kind of protection from hostile weapons fire.

Answer: Phantasms

Data, who had first been suffering from nightmares while he slept before experiencing disturbing episodes while awake, encounters Troi inside the turbolift, producing a knife and stabbing the Betazoid twice in her shoulder, which is later revealed to be as a result of him having seen the living organism on her body.

In "Genesis", Troi does get violently BITTEN--on her cheek--by a de-evolving Worf when he enters her quarters and catches her bathing in her bathtub, but she doesn't ever get stabbed with any kind of weapon.

In "Night Terrors", even with everyone on the ship being affected by the sleeplessness and being unable to focus, Troi herself isn't ever physically attacked at all. Nor is she ever subjected to any violent attacks at all while being held captive by the Mintakans in "Who Watches The Watchers?", despite one of the crossbow-wielding men targeting her and believing that killing her would please 'The Picard', their assumed god.

Answer: The Mind's Eye

After a brainwashed Geordi enters Ten Forward and orders a drink from the bar, his modified VISOR having locked in on Chief O'Brien, the chief engineer silently approaches the reliable transporter operator. He intentionally spills half of his drink onto O'Brien's uniform, which he plays off as an accident while Riker, Dr. Crusher and the Klingon ambassador look on. O'Brien does come to Ten Forward in both "Power Play" and "Realm Of Fear"--in his possessed state when he's teamed up with Troi and Data to take the people in Ten Forward hostage, and when he's talking to Barclay about overcoming transporter fears, respectively--but nobody spills a drink on him in either episode. Nobody is having a drink near O'Brien at all in "The Ensigns Of Command", as he's spending much of the episode at his usual post in the transporter room.

Answer: Code Of Honor

After a brief discussion in Picard's ready room between the captain and Dr. Crusher about Wesley having an active functional role on the ship, Picard permits Wesley to step onto the bridge, letting him take over operations for a while at the initial objection of Riker.

In "The Game", Wesley's only appearance on the bridge is when he's manhandled by Worf and Riker, forced to sit down in one of the chairs and to wear the game device Riker had brought back from Risa. In "Peak Performance", the only post Wesley is verbally assigned to is joining the team over on the U.S.S. Hathaway in preparations for the war simulation, as he's recruited by Riker, then approved by Picard to do so.

He's already seen working down at the conn station prior to that moment. And in "Symbiosis", Wesley is already assuming a post at one of the computer stations on the bridge when the Enterprise is in orbit of the flaring sun it encounters at the beginning of the episode.

Answer: New Ground

The endangered lizards that Alexander was so fascinated by in the science lab are, with Alexander's pleas, rescued by Riker while Alexander himself is being rescued by Worf, the tense situation having erupted after a fire LITERALLY erupted in the lab, which resulted from the Enerprise sustaining heavy damage from its contact with the experimental soliton wave.

The lizards being animals, of course, they cannot speak and thank Riker for saving them like Alexander could for being saved by his loving father.

In "Who Watches The Watchers?", the only lifeform that Riker is rescuing is one of the unconscious Federation scientists, who had fallen captive by the Mintakans, in an attempt to prevent the pollution of the Mintakan cultural evolution. In "A Matter Of Honor", Riker isn't rescuing any lifeforms from a burning room at all while stationed onboard the Klingon ship.

In "Realm Of Fear", there are no alien lifeforms being rescued; instead, only the crewmembers onboard the U.S.S. Yosemite are rescued from the transporter, and it's Barclay, plus Worf and a couple of others guys in his security team, who rescue the crewmembers, and not Riker himself.
