Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The very first scene of this episode shows a young Jonathan Archer and his father. How many years later does the Klingon crash-land on Earth?

Answer: 30

A small title card displays the words: 'Broken Bow, Oklahoma...30 years later.'

2. The theme song of the pilot episode of 'Enterprise' differs from the theme songs of 'Next Generation,' Deep Space Nine,' and 'Voyager' in what way?

Answer: It contains lyrics

I'm not a fan of this song at all...not that anyone asked.

3. Early in this episode, we meet several Vulcans, including Ambassador Soval. The actor playing this role was prominently featured in which previous science fiction television series?

Answer: 'Alien Nation'

Gary Graham, who played Soval, also portrayed human LAPD Detective Matthew Sikes on the FOX series 'Alien Nation.'

4. The first time a human being tries to pronounce the word 'Klingon,' he makes a mistake. What does this officer call the alien before him?

Answer: 'Klingot'

The Starfleet officer is quickly corrected.

5. What is the last name of the Oklahoma farmer who shot the Klingon refugee?

Answer: Moore

Mr. Moore tried to reason with the Klingon, but the language barrier prevented a peaceful exchange.

6. What is the name of the Klingon refugee?

Answer: Klaang

It's stated several times throughout the episode.

7. The word "poop" was spoken in this episode for the first time in "Star Trek" history.

Answer: False

That priceless little landmark occurred several episodes later, in "Breaking the Ice." Archer and his crew spend some time answering questions from grade schoolers, and Tucker is asked to respond to "When you flush a toilet in space, where does it go?" Tucker, offended, says, "Aw, come on, Cap'n -- a poop question?"

Answer: 6

A snail's pace compared to the speed of subsequent starships...but hey, this IS a hundred years before Kirk and company.

9. For the first time in any of the 'Star Trek' series, the captain has a dog on board. What is the name of Captain Archer's beagle?

Answer: Porthos

Captain Archer is apparently a fan of 'The Three Musketeers.'

10. It's revealed in this episode that Vulcan females possess an increased sensitivity in one of their five senses. Which is it?

Answer: smell

Specifically, T'Pol seems to react unpleasantly to the smell of Captain Archer's beagle...particularly when said beagle playfully puts his front paws on her leg.

Answer: 90 years

James Cromwell -- who played Cochrane in both 'Star Trek: First Contact' and this episode -- should probably get a new agent, as not a single close-up of him appeared during his historic address, which contained most of the language used in the 'prefaces' for 'Star Trek: The Original Series' and 'Star Trek: The Next Generation.'

12. Just before the ENTERPRISE achieves warp speed for the very first time in the episode, what does Captain Archer say?

Answer: 'Let's go.'

Perhaps a bit informal by the standards set by the previous series, but it worked just fine for me.

13. Captain Jonathan Archer has lived in one American city for most of his life. Which is it?

Answer: San Francisco, CA

The perfect place for the child of a Starfleet engineer to grow up, since Starfleet is headquartered there.

14. Dr. Phlox admits an affinity for Chinese food to Captain Archer. What dish in particular does he mention?

Answer: Egg drop soup

The smiling, enigmatic physician is apparently a big fan of the appetizer menu.

Answer: 'boomer'

Mayweather's experience in artificial gravity allows him to find the ENTERPRISE's 'sweet spot,' a small area of the ship where gravity is...strange.

16. Sub-Commander T'Pol has spent most of her Earthside time at the Vulcan Compound. In which California city does this compound stand?

Answer: Sausalito

This fact is brought up during T'Pol's dinner with Captain Archer and Commander Tucker.

17. During T'Pol's dinner with Captain Archer and Commander Tucker, she is served a salad, as Vulcans are vegetarians. What is the main course enjoyed by Archer and Tucker?

Answer: steak

The extremely fit Earthmen seem to have no concerns about dining on such rich cuisine, even in the 22nd century. (See? It MUST be good for you!)

18. During this same dinner, as T'Pol discusses discipline, she accomplishes a minor dextrous feat. What is it?

Answer: She cuts a brittle breadstick with a knife and fork

A sure sign of the legendary Vulcan patience and tenacity.

19. Who is the first person to speak Vulcan in this episode?

Answer: Hoshi Sato

Hoshi spits a Vulcan phrase at T'Pol, who responds -- in English -- with only, 'I was instructed to speak English on this mission.' We never learn exactly what Hoshi said to her, but it sounded pretty nasty to me.

20. The alien race attempting to capture the Klingon refugee display several superhuman abilities. Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: None of the above

The Suliban appear to be quite the formidable enemy. Time will tell why they are not mentioned even once in 'ST:TOS,' 'ST:TNG,' 'ST:DS9,' or 'ST:VOY.'

21. What is the first inhabited planet visited by the ENTERPRISE crew?

Answer: Rigel X

One might wonder why Captain Archer seems never to have heard of the star Rigel -- don't we know about it even now, in 2003?

22. While attempting to translate the babbling of the Klingon refugee, Communications Specialist Hoshi Sato tells Captain Archer that the Klingon has uttered which seemingly useless phrase?

Answer: 'stinky boots'

Dr. Phlox is quick to point out that since the Klingon is delirious, Yato's translation might in fact be completely correct.

23. What is the name of the Suliban who kisses Captain Archer?

Answer: Sarin

Archer seems to be channeling Kirk in this scene. Who kisses people from unknown species?

Answer: a snowstorm

Despite the horrendous blizzard, the shuttlecraft lands safely.

Answer: methyl oxide

One can easily see why Tucker initially felt the need to intervene -- the child seems to be in agony.
