Name That Episode #7 Trivia Quiz

Answer: We'll Always Have Paris

At the beginning of one of the earliest 'time travel-related' episodes of the series, Picard and an unnamed lieutenant are fencing in preparation for the crew's shore leave. After Picard's epee makes contact with the lieutenant's chest and the two men unmask themselves, they engage in a short conversation where the lieutenant asks his captain the type of move that was just performed on him. That short conversation, however, is repeated, which alerts them that something strange is happening on the ship.

It's revealed later that the experiments performed by an old acquaintance, a Dr. Paul Manheim, are responsible for the temporal anomaly that occurred. Although all of the other three episodes do deal with events repeating themselves, albeit in their own unique different ways, Picard isn't engaged in a fencing match in any of them.

Answer: Ensign Ro

Recalling that the symbolic trademark of Bajorans is to adorn themselves with fancy ear pieces, the troubled Ensign Ro arrives in the Enterprise's transporter room already decorated with an elaborate earring of her own. But an unimpressed Riker, adhering to Starfleet dress codes and principles, orders Ro Laren to remove her earring before being escorted out of the transporter room.

Then at the end of the episode while down on the planet with Picard, the now redeemed Bajoran puts the same earring that she'd taken off earlier back on, once again completing her attire and staying true to her people's culture.

In "The Outrageous Okona", it's true that Worf confiscated both a hand-held gun and a knife, the latter which Okana declared to be an ornamental piece of jewelry, but by the end of the episode, we do not see these items returned back to Okona nor see them in his possession when he returns to his tractored ship, even though it might be assumed that Picard allowed Worf to return the items before Okona's departure.

In "Realm Of Fear", neither Barclay, nor anybody else on the away team that transported back and forth to the U.S.S. Yosemite, nor the crewmembers that are rescued from the transporter themselves, have any kind of jewelry removed from their possession at any time during this episode. Then in "Masks", although Geordi and Worf are beamed out of engineering when things start transforming all around them, there is nobody else otherwise using the transporters, and nobody comes to the Enterprise via the transporter room at all.

Answer: Man Of The People

At the very beginning of the episode, the woman whom the Lumerian named Alkar is passing off to everyone as his terminally ill mother warns Troi to stay away from Alkar after the two aliens have beamed onto the Enterprise via the transporter room, the threat discovered later as being the result of Alkar having transferred his negative emotions to the woman.

Then at the end of the episode, after Troi has 'died' temporarily to sever the link between her and Alkar, the once peaceful 'man of the people' suddenly re-acquires all of the negative emotions.

After a failed attempt at linking with another woman in his quarters, Worf and his security detail arrive just in time to see Alkar writhing in agony on the floor, his appearance having become that of a hideously aged, gray-haired humanoid, much like his 'mother' appeared at the beginning of the episode. Soon afterwards, he becomes completely lifeless.

In "Parallels", Worf does receive the news from the alternate-timeline Doctor Ogawa that Geordi is dead once the connection between the time jumps and Geordi's VISOR is made, but he doesn't actually witness his death occurring.

Besides that, Troi is never verbally threatened by anyone in this episode. In "Half A Life", Counselor Troi only appears in the transporter room once to have a heart to heart, emotional talk with her outrageous mother Lwaxana, but the half-Betazoid is never verbally threatened in any way. Further, Worf doesn't witness the death of anyone onboard the ship; the only time 'death' is mentioned is when Dr. Timicin reveals that his people have to return back to their home planet to die when they've reached the age of 60. Then in "The Child", the alien itself that impregnates Troi and grows to be an adolescent boy does die in Troi's quarters, but Worf isn't present when that happens; only Riker, Data, Dr. Pulaski and Troi herself witness the sad moment.

Answer: When The Bough Breaks

After Wesley and the other group of children have been transported off the Enterprise by the aging and scheming Aldeans, Dr. Crusher has a little scheme of her own up her sleeve when she transports down to the planet to check on Wesley and verify his well-being. Wanting to get a DNA analysis of the Aldeans and to find out why they can't conceive children of their own, she embraces her son while thrusting the scanner from her medical tricorder in his hands, which Wesley then uses to scan the Aldean woman next to him in the room to complete the secret DNA analysis, Dr. Crusher now equipped with the information she needs.

In "The Game", although Wesley and his new-found love interest, Robin Lefler, had to play it secret to avoid arousing suspicion from their crewmates who are being affected by the devices Riker brought back from Risa, Wesley is never secretly given any scanning equipment by his mother, who was already being controlled by the game devices before Wesley figured out that something strange was happening with everyone on the ship.

In "The Dauphin", Wesley doesn't scan either one of the alien isomorphs that appear in humanoid form as the old woman and the young girl that Wesley falls for named Saila. He didn't have a reason to; he never suspected that the aliens had the power to transform into other creatures until he witnessed it first hand for himself in his quarters. Wesley further isn't secretly scanning anyone in "The Offspring".

Answer: Imaginary Friend

The alien that deceives Clara into believing that it is the imaginary friend named 'Isabella' is invisible to everyone else on the ship. While Clara and Alexander are in pottery class, 'Isabella' hurls a piece of clay into the back of Alexander's head, the act of childish mischief being blamed on Clara instead. Though with the clay being soft to the touch, of course, the Klingon boy doesn't need to be carted off to sickbay for any real injury.

In "New Ground", Alexander suffers more than just a lob to the back of the head when he gets injured while inside the bio-lab, his unauthorized entry as the result of his latest act of defiance.

In "Rascals", Alexander does not get 'attacked' by any means of mischief at the hands of the Ferengi nor the other children who join forces to retake control of the Enterprise.

The same holds true for "A Fistful Of Datas", which was good because, considering the holodeck safeties were offline while he, Worf and Troi are trapped inside the program, any of the bullets fired by the numerous characters being played by the different incarnations of Data could have been potentially lethal for him.

Answer: Contagion

With the technical glitches happening all over the ship as a result of the Enterprise's proximity to the spatial probe, a male medical officer is unable to use his knitter to treat a patient who has a broken leg. Pulaski then orders him to use a splint which, considering their time is some 300 to 400 years to our current future at the time the episode aired, is considered an ancient medical practice in the 24th century.

In "Shades of Gray", only 24th century technology is being used to treat Riker's infection: the medical equipment employed by Dr. Pulaski herself.

In "Up The Long Ladder", the only real patients are the clones held in stasis in the lab, and none of them are in need of a splint for broken limbs. Further, in "Unnatural Selection", none of the scientists affected by the virus onboard the U.S.S. Lantree, nor the children who were in isolated protection from the virus, nor Pulaski herself, are in need of a splint for a broken limb.

Answer: Silicon Avatar

The Enterprise's second encounter with the menacing Crystalline Entity results in Starfleet sending Dr. Kila Marr, someone who has been studying the lifeform, to investigate. After a rather rocky start with Data, whom she blamed for the death of her son, Dr. Marr eventually warms up to the android, asking him later on in the episode if he could read the last journal entries made by her son using her son's original voice. Data's recitation ends up being very emotional for the doctor, who is brought to tears while listening to every word--saddened, but grateful to have heard her son talking one last time.

In "Evolution", Data's voice is virtually normal, except for the slightly monotonic, robotic alteration, as a result of him interfacing with the nanite lifeforms so that Picard can communicate with them. Yet nobody is driven to tears as a result of Data willingly serving as the voice of those nanties.

In "Masks", Data's voice does change considerably whenever he has assumed the roles of Masaka and the various other characters from the ancient alien archive that the Enterprise encounters in space. Yet once again, nobody else around him is driven to tears whenever he has assumed these different characters.

Then Data's voice remains unchanged for the entire duration of "The Ensigns Of Command"--while he's onboard the Enterprise as well as while he's down on the planet trying to convince the people to relocate before they succumb to invasion by the Sheliak.

Answer: Encounter At Farpoint

When Picard, Yar, Counselor Troi and Data are transported into what they perceive to be a courtroom within the Q Continuum, our beloved omnipotent and all-powerful alien further demonstrates just how powerful he is. After an angry outburst by Yar, an unimpressed Q instantly puts the chief tactical officer on ice, her frozen body falling into the waiting arms of her disgusted comrades. Thankfully, she's only frozen temporarily; after some diplomatic persuasion on Picard's part, Q shows some compassion and thaws the lieutenant's body right before their very eyes.

In "Hide And Q", the omnipotent alien allows Yar to have complete mobility after transporting her, Riker, Worf, Data and Geordi to the Q Continuum, then again when he transports her back onto the Enterprise's bridge, the playful actions being just one of the little 'games' he has in store for the crew this time.

In "The Arsenal Of Freedom", it isn't Yar who is immobilized while she, Data and Commander Riker are battling the flying weapons; it's Riker this time, who is temporarily placed in a forcefield generated by one of the weapons before Data and Yar can figure out how to combat it.

Then in "Skin Of Evil", Yar's trip to Vagra II ends up becoming her final resting place when the mysterious creature named Armus sucks all life out of her--immobilized permanently.

Answer: Q Who

This is a very tricky one! In "Q Who", although it was the first time we saw Guinan and Q interacting with each other on screen, it's revealed through dialogue in this episode that the mysterious El-Aurian 'had some dealings' with Q in the past. What those 'dealings' were, we would not find out.

But we do know that the pair had met at least once before. In "Yesterday's Enterprise", although the alternate-Enterprise Yar showed that she was very familiar with Guinan, the El-Aurian hadn't actually met Yar before, as the Yar we knew from the show's first season hadn't ever had a chance to meet the Ten Forward bartender before her unexpected death.

Besides Yar, Guinan gets newly acquainted with Lieutenant Castillo, the young man whom Yar falls in love with, from the Enterprise-C when the two lieutenants are in the alternate Ten Forward together.

In "I, Borg", Guinan does have to deal with dread from the past--that being the Borg--when she visits a severed-from-the-collective 'Hugh' being kept in the brig.

But in terms of individuality, she had never met 'Hugh' personally before the airing of this episode, and it would be the first time in the series that the Enterprise crew would get acquainted with 'Hugh' altogether. Then in the fifth-season cliffhanger, it's suggested that, given the statement by the host at the literary reception of Guinan having met 'many new friends' since the announcement in the newspaper, which depicted an image of Guinan and which Data saw for himself while in his hotel room, the El-Aurian had gotten newly acquainted with author Samuel Clemens (who would be seen again in the second part of this two-parter) and, presumably, the many other guests at the reception as well.

Answer: Hollow Pursuits

This was one of the early episodes in the series that Wesley appeared in where he was NOT performing an experiment of some kind. Instead, he was working closely with Geordi, Barclay and other members of the engineering team to help neutralize the problem of the invidium substance that had contaminated the ship.

In "Evolution", his science project of studying the nanites causes his micro-computer organisms to wander into the Enterprise's circuitry unattended, wreaking havoc with the ship's computers.

In "The Naked Now", it's TWO Wesley Crusher experiments that cause some headaches. First, there's his device that imitates Picard's voice, which enables him to have the proper security clearance to take control of engineering while in his intoxicated state.

Then once he's gotten control of engineering, his miniature tractor beam device enables him to put up an impenetrable forcefield to prevent Picard and the rest of the senior officers from gaining access to the panel that would enable the warp engines to be brought back online.

Then in "Remember Me", Wesley is in engineering again, this time experimenting with a new warp field (much to Geordi's disliking), which causes Dr. Crusher to be warped into her own altered reality where she believes everyone around her is disappearing from the ship, including her old friend from the starbase, Dr. Dalen Quaice.
