Name That Episode #13 Trivia Quiz

Answer: The Thaw

When the Doctor first arrives in the alien simulated environment, the Clown has been fitted with a surgical mouth mask by the 'Brown Monster With The Big Teeth' (he was my favorite character in that crazy circus simulation!) and handed a scalpel by the princess midget.

The Clown is in the process of scaring Harry by reenacting a surgical procedure Harry once experienced as a child when the Doctor interrupts, telling the Clown he's holding the scalpel incorrectly before tossing it away and removing the straps binding Harry onto the gurney.

In "Phage", the Doctor does use the standard Federation sickbay devices in his treatments of Neelix after his lungs have been removed by the Vidiians, but never in this episode is he instructing anyone on the proper usage of any medical instruments, whether his or those belonging to the Vidiian surgeons.

The Doctor isn't handling medical instruments at all in "Spirit Folk" nor "Inside Man".

Answer: Time And Again

Kes is on the away mission to rescue Janeway and Paris from the polaric energy-doomed planet near the end of the episode. Everyone on the away team is wearing a device on their arm that will protect them from the shifting time fractures that Janeway and Paris had fallen into during their initial arrival to the destroyed planet at the beginning of the episode.

In none of the other three episodes is the Ocampan wearing an electronic device of any kind.

Answer: Sacred Ground

The same glowing Nechani shrine that Kes walks up to in the beginning of the episode is what Janeway believes will bring the Ocampan back to life after nothing the captain had accomplished during her 'ritual' had helped. A determined Janeway, however, is momentarily stalled by Chakotay, whose scans of the shrine indicate high levels of dangerous particles that he believes will surely kill his captain. Fortunately, that doesn't happen when Janeway picks up an unconscious Kes lying on a stone tablet nearby and walks directly into the shrine unharmed.

In "Demon", the only structure that Chakotay scans directly with a tricorder once he has set foot on the surface of the 'demon' planet with Seven is the abandoned shuttle that Paris and Harry had taken to the planet earlier in their away mission to retrieve deuterium for Voyager.

It could be said that Chakotay's tricorder is constantly scanning the planet while he and Seven are searching for their missing crewmates, and some of those scans presumably could've been picking up high levels of dangerous particles emitting from the various rock structures scattered about the grounds.

But Chakotay never persuades anyone not to enter into any of these rock structures for the whole time while he's on the planet; he only convinces the duplicates of Paris and Harry to return to Voyager with him and Seven. In "Hope And Fear", it could be said that the U.S.S. Dauntless created by the vengeful Arturis was an alien structure, as it was Arturis's alien technology (a method he termed 'particle synthesis') that was used in its creation. Chakotay and the rest of the away team do make tricorder scans of the Dauntless when they're first inspecting the fake ship, but the first officer never tries to persuade anyone not to board the Dauntless, presumably believing (just like the rest of the crew) that the quantum slipstream-equipped ship was safe for launch. In "Friendship One", Chakotay does take tricorder scans of the planet that's been transformed into a nuclear winter. He and Harry eventually discover several warhead chambers scattered across the surface, scanning one of those chambers directly, but he never tries to persuade Harry or anyone else on the planet from entering those chambers that house the active warheads.

Answer: Lifesigns

The only two people who appear in sickbay without a Starfleet uniform on are Kes and the Vidiian doctor, Denara Pel. Neither of the women activate the Doctor's program at any time because the Doctor has already been activated by the time Denara has been transported onto Voyager.

In "Prototype", a troubled B'Elanna wakes up in the middle of the night and goes directly to sickbay in order to discuss her dilemma with reactivating the Pralor automated unit being studied in engineering, activating the Doctor's program as she stands there dressed in her nightgown.

In "Timeless", after the futuristic Chakotay and Harry have found Voyager under a layer of ice on the arctic planet, Harry enters sickbay and activates the Doctor's program, fully dressed in warm padded gear (and why would he be dressed otherwise?) as he does.

In "Latent Image", after the Doctor comes to astrometrics to ask Seven for her help in solving the mystery of what's been happening with his memory files, Seven comes to sickbay, expecting the Doctor to be there waiting.

But when she realizes that the Doctor is nowhere to be seen, she re-activates the Doctor's program, realizing that the Doctor has no recollection of their discussion in astrometrics just moments before. Seven, of course, isn't a member of Starfleet; thus, she's not wearing a Starfleet uniform when the Doctor re-materializes in sickbay.

Answer: The Void

When Janeway realizes that a polaron modulator was stolen by one of the members of the temporary Alliance, presumably after killing members of another alien species, she orders that B'Elanna and the Nygean captain remove it from Voyager and return it back to the people it was stolen from on the sake of upholding the principles of the Alliance.

In "Prototype", all of the components B'Elanna was working with to reactivate the Pralor automated unit--including the unit itself--were authorized for usage by Janeway as they and Harry were working on it together in engineering. Furthermore, after B'Elanna has been kidnapped and taken onboard the Pralor ship, the chief engineer is equipped with everything she needs to build the new prototype with the consent of her captors.

The only reason B'Elanna discontinues construction of the prototype is when she realizes that she'd inadvertently bypassed the fail-safe procedure implemented into all of the automated units set in place by the original builders, NOT because the technology itself was obtained through unethical means.

In "Dragon's Teeth", B'Elanna isn't working with any kind of illegal or stolen technology; the only issues of ethics arises when Seven awakens the Vaadwaur from their stasis chambers. In "Heroes And Demons", it's true that the photonic energy being that was captured and kept for analysis in engineering gave rise to the issues of imprisoning a sentient lifeform, but again, there were no ethical issues concerning the technology itself that she and the crew were using to analyze the lifeform, as it was Federation technology being used, after all.

Answer: Mortal Coil

Chakotay is running a simulation on the holodeck, recreating the away mission that saw him, Neelix and Paris flying a shuttle towards a mass of proto-matter and saw Neelix getting killed when an electrical charge from that proto-matter blasts into the shuttle's interior.

After Neelix watches the holographic version of himself die, he pauses the program, then after a few moments of soul-searching and wondering why he didn't see the afterlife before being revived by Seven's nanoprobes, Chakotay deletes the holographic Neelix, perhaps hoping the removal of the imagery will help to alleviate some of the Talaxian's pain.

In "Dark Frontier", the crew does run a simulation of their 'Operation: Fort Knox' where they devise a plan to remove a transwarp coil from a Borg ship. Chakotay, however, never deletes any of the holographic drones in the simulation; he only freezes the program after the crew realize they're taking too long to complete the plan before the holographic Borg become aware of what's happening.

In "Threshold", the only simulation being run is the one at the beginning of the episode where Paris is trying to break the Warp 10 barrier in a shuttlecraft. Chakotay isn't participating in this simulation. In "Future's End, Part 2", there are no holographic programs of any kind being run...except for the Doctor's EMH program.

Answer: Infinite Regress

A the beginning of the episode, Seven is unaware that she is suffering from the Klingon personality of her 'Borg schizophrenia' when she exits her Borg alcove in the cargo bay, interrupting her regeneration cycle. Then she ransacks the cupboards and shelves in the mess hall kitchen, eventually finding a hunk of meat that she begins gnawing on like a hungry savage beast.

In "Human Error", Seven does dine with a holographic Chakotay in a holodeck simulation of her own quarters, and she does miss a few regeneration cycles in order to spend more time indulging in her holodeck fantasy.

But she doesn't break any regeneration cycle that's already in progress in order to do so. In "Survival Instinct", the only time Seven is seen eating is when she's having lunch with young Naomi Wildman while the mess hall is swarming with people--crewmembers, plus aliens from the outpost where Voyager was docked for shore leave. Seven does postpone her activities in astrometrics in order to have lunch, as Naomi reminds her she had promised, but the ex-drone doesn't have to break a regeneration cycle in order to do so. Seven isn't eating a meal at all in "The Omega Directive".

Answer: One

This one's somewhat tricky. The Doctor and Seven are on the holodeck twice in this episode when the EMH is helping the ex-drone improve her social skills with holographic representations of the crew. In both holodeck scenarios, the Doctor FREEZES the programs, not deactivate them completely.

In "Human Error", the Doctor enters Seven's quarters, which she created on the holodeck, to give her medical assistance as a result of her not having regenerated properly. When the Doctor realizes that the man beside her, whom he sees as Chakotay, thought Seven's cortical implants had been removed (which hadn't really happened), he concludes that 'Chakotay' is actually a hologram that Seven created for herself and immediately orders the computer to deactivate the entire holodeck program. Recall, for the next two episodes, that the Doctor himself is a holographic program.

In "Jetrel", there's a scene where the Doctor has been told by Neelix and Jetrel that they no longer require his assistance as Jetrel begins his analysis of his Talaxian patient, so the Doctor deactivates himself with a voice command to the ship's computer.

In the tense concluding moments to "Equinox, Part 2", Voyager's EMH has successfully transported back to Voyager and confronts the Equinox's EMH in sickbay, promptly deleting his holographic alter ego with a simple voice command to the ship's computer in this instance as well.

Answer: Warlord

Janeway, an Ilari man and an Ilari woman are in the transporter room expecting another Ilari guest when Kes enters the transporter room. As soon as the Ilari guest is successfully beamed into the room, Janeway steps forward to greet the guest when Kes takes out a phaser and shoots the guest dead before the captain can complete her greeting. Kes then proceeds to shoot and kill the transporter operator.

After Janeway struggles with Kes to disarm the Ocampan's weapon, the captain is knocked unconscious with a blow from one of the other Ilari from behind.

In "Nemesis", Janeway is in the transporter room again when she greets the Kradin, the 'nemesis' of the Vori, whom Chakotay had been brainwashed by and fighting alongside before the Kradin's arrival onto Voyager.

This time, neither Janeway nor the Kradin guests are attacked by anyone . Keeping track of who's who in the confusing "Vis À Vis" can be a challenge, but once you realize that the alien named 'Steth' is the only alien who visits Voyager, it makes things less complicated.

When 'it' first arrives onto Voyager via the transporter room, Janeway (with Tuvok at her side) does greet it warmly, but she's not interrupted by an attack in the process. The only time Janeway has been 'attacked' (although we don't see it onscreen) is when 'Steth' has taken her body towards the end of the episode, sneaking onto a shuttlecraft and phasering Tuvok. In "The Void", there are many different alien species that visit Voyager after Janeway has forged a temporary alliance: the Nygeans (first encountered in the prison episode "Repentance"), the 'mute aliens' (which the Doctor befriended with his opera music), the 'spy aliens' (first encountered in "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy") and the alien race of Commander Bossal, the man who admitted his disgust for the 'mute aliens' when he and Janeway are talking in the mess hall. Of this quartet, however, none of them are officially greeted by the captain. When they all first appear on Voyager, the Nygeans are already in the briefing room discussing their membership into the Alliance, the 'spy aliens' and Commander Bossal are already in the mess hall receiving meals from Neelix, and the 'mute aliens' weren't officially greeted by Janeway at all when 'Phantome', the first of the 'mute aliens' to appear on Voyager, intruded engineering after Voyager's acquisition of a core casing from a derelict ship inside the void.

Answer: Relativity

The 29th century U.S.S. Relativity was the only vessel besides Voyager seen in this episode, but there was no phenomenon encountered in space that led up to Seven (and later, Janeway) communicating with Captain Braxton or anyone else onboard the futuristic vessel.

The only thing that does happen in space is Voyager exploding to pieces as a result of Captain Braxton's weapon having been secretly placed in one of the Jefferies tubes, and Voyager being attacked by the Kazon ships in the timeline in the past where Braxton goes to sabotage Voyager.

In "Real Life", the phenomenon encountered by Voyager in this episode are the subspace eddies that are seemingly randomly appearing in space until the crew figures out how to predict each new eddy that occurs. Paris ends up taking a shuttlecraft into the wake of one of the eddies in order to get more accurate readings, a feeling of awe coming over him when he's found himself in a sub-layer that he can't describe in words. All throughout his solo flight, he's communicating with Voyager via an open com channel.

In "The Omega Directive", the aliens who had been experimenting with the omega molecule attempt to take the molecule back by force after it has been transported into the harmonic chamber in the cargo bay. Chakotay tries to reason with one of the aliens on one of the attacking ships via the viewscreen on the bridge, but the aliens refuse to cooperate. In "The Void", the phenomenon encountered here is the randomly-opening funnels that have been pulling in ships. The situation results in Janeway establishing communications via the bridge viewscreen with Dalen, the alien who's been trapped inside the void for many years and has been surviving by using unethical raids on other ships, then later, with Geron, the captain of the Nygean ship who is the first to join the Alliance.
