Name That Episode #19 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Basics, Part 1

When the Kazon have begun boarding Voyager, Janeway orders the computer to initiate the auto self-destruct sequence. However, because the previous strategically-planned Kazon attacks disabled the ship's processors, the computer is unable to comply, the Kazon soon taking control of the bridge following a brief phaser fight.

In "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", although the Doctor orders for the usage of a made-up destructive weapon called the 'photonic cannon' in both his daydream of fighting off the Borg and at the end of the episode when confronting the 'spy aliens' for real, he never gives an auto self-destruct command, and neither does Janeway nor Chakotay nor anybody else in this episode.

In "Course: Oblivion", between the duplicate Janeway, the duplicate Kim (who had assumed the captain's role once the duplicate Janeway 'died') and the real Janeway at the very end of the episode, none of them gives an auto self-destruct command. One could say that the only thing that self-destructs on its own would be the duplicate Voyager and its duplicate crew altogether, which becomes nothing but a mass of deuterium floating in space at the episode's end.

In "The Q And The Grey", between Janeway, Chakotay, both of the Q's popping up on Voyager and the Q in the Q Continuum (who are perceived as generals by the crew), none of them gives an auto self-destruct command in this episode either.

Answer: The Omega Directive

The Omega molecule was destroyed with the firing of a photon torpedo once the molecule was released into open space. No auto self-destruct command was given that caused the molecule--nor the alien ships that were attempting to take it by force--to be destroyed.

In "Blink Of An Eye", Chakotay and B'Elanna are in engineering, studying the visual data recorded by a probe launched into the planet's orbit. But when they realize that the probe's presence could be getting detected by the civilization on the surface, Chakotay orders an auto self-destruct of the probe before any more of the planet's data is collected.

In "Deadlock", the Janeway on the non-damaged Voyager initiated the auto self-destruct sequence once the Vidiians had boarded her ship.

This time, the self-destruct is successful, the non-damaged Voyager blowing up and destroying the Vidiian ship in the process while leaving the heavily-damaged Voyager untouched. In "Unimatrix Zero, Part 2", the Borg Queen is confronting an assimilated Janeway about the captain's plans for liberating the collective from the inside out.

In an attempt to force Janeway to reach a compromise, the Queen displays a series of three Borg vessels on an internal viewscreen in her subjunction inside the Unicomplex, verbally ordering an auto self-destruct of the first vessel when she concludes that a few of the drones on that vessel can no longer be heard due to their link to Unimatrix Zero.

Answer: Deadlock

A mighty tricky one! The first episode overall where any character played by a main cast member is pronounced dead is "Cathexis". The Doctor determines that Chakotay is brain dead, but Chakotay was on Voyager, lying on a bio-bed in sickbay, when that diagnosis is made. So that leaves "Deadlock", the first episode where a character played by a main cast member IS away from Voyager when they're pronounced dead.

When the Harry and the B'Elanna on the heavily-damaged Voyager are in the Jefferies tube together, a hull breach opens up, sucking Harry into outer space below after B'Elanna is unsuccessful in grabbing hold of him.

When B'Elanna gives the bridge crew a status update, she tells them that Harry is dead and that Kes has disappeared through the spatial rift. Of course, later on, the Harry on the duplicate non-damaged Voyager is very much alive and well! In "Emanations", although Harry is declared unaccounted for when the away team is initially beamed back from the asteroid, he isn't ever pronounced dead.

He only switches places with the Vhnori girl, who wakes up on Voyager and mistakes the ship for her people's afterlife. In "Threshold", Paris isn't ever pronounced dead either; he only evolves into an amphibian-like creature, which is found on a planet with the evolved Janeway and their amphibian children, as a result of him having broken the Warp 10 barrier. In "Coda", Janeway is pronounced dead a couple of times: first by Chakotay, when Janeway sees herself being clutched into her crying first officer's arms on the planet their shuttle crashed on, then by the Doctor, when the EMH's and Kes's attempts at reviving her in sickbay fail. Of course, "Coda" aired in Voyager's third season--several episodes AFTER the second season-airing "Deadlock"--so this disqualifies it from being the correct answer.

Answer: Displaced

All of the characters played by the main cast appear in this episode, including Ethan Phillips as Neelix and Jennifer Lien as Kes, whose roles were quite minor. Kes does become the first crewmember to be reported missing from Voyager after the first Nyrian appears on the ship, but she's later seen in the crew's habitat on the Nyrian ship when B'Elanna is transferred there directly by one of the other Nyrians manipulating the controls at a computer workstation in engineering. Neelix is also seen in the habitat, who provides Tuvok and Chakotay with a few computer components so that they can construct a weapon to subdue their captors.

In "Living Witness", Roxanne Dawson's B'Elanna Torres is the only character who doesn't make an appearance; every other character is depicted in some manner in the imagined 'Warship Voyager', including Neelix, who is an Operations officer wearing a yellow Starfleet uniform, and Seven, who is a full Borg drone in the Kyrian museum's recreated scenarios. "Nemesis" would be the only episode in which Seven didn't make an appearance since Jeri Ryan's arrival to the cast at the beginning of Voyager's fourth season.

Then in "Sacred Ground", it's Robert Duncan McNeill's turn to take a break, as his Tom Paris character isn't seen at at any point in this early third-season episode.

Answer: Projections

The 'hallucinating' Doctor is confronted by the holographic projections of Lieutenant Barclay and Kes in engineering, both trying to convince the EMH that he is a real human being. In order to prove that point, Kes gives the Doctor a phaser, which the EMH then uses to blow out the circuits on a computer panel.

When the environment around him remains unchanged, the Doctor is in agreement with the holographic characters, but just for a little while, as the crew later is able to explain that a problem in his memory subroutines was the cause of all of his holographic 'hallucinations'.

In none of the other three episodes is the Doctor even handling a phaser or hand-held weapon at all.

Answer: Flesh And Blood

There were many hand-held weapons that deployed energy projectiles of some variety in this episode, but the only time Starfleet-issue phasers were fired is when the holograms emerge from hiding within the murky lake to kill the two Hirogen hunters in the holographic jungle environment at the beginning of the episode. Of course, those hunters were moving targets.

When Voyager's away team transports over to the Hirogen's hunting facility, they do arrive there armed with phasers, but none of the crewmembers on the away team ever fires any of their weapons.

In "Caretaker", after Janeway and Neelix have beamed down to the desert surface of the Ocampa homeworld, they're confronted by the Kazon-Ogla, who have a desperate need for water. Later, Janeway orders for tanks of water to be beamed down to the surface as well in a gesture of good will.

But when the Kazon reveal their hostile intentions, both Janeway and Neelix take out their respective phasers and blast holes in the containers, water pouring out and leaving the Kazon helpless to preserve their water supply.

In "Dark Frontier", shortly after a phaser rifle-armed Janeway confronts the Borg Queen inside the collective's Unicomplex, Seven tells the captain to fire at a control panel up in the ceiling to temporarily disrupt the Queen's Borg signal, which Janeway does without incident, enabling herself and Seven to flee the Unicomplex unharmed. In "Future's End, Part 2", as Tuvok and Paris are leaving the Griffith Observatory with a furious Rain Robinson, all three are confronted by Henry Starling's henchman, who attempts to kill the two lieutenants with a phaser blast as they race to flee the building's grounds. One of the henchman's missed phaser shots blasts and vaporizes the blue pickup truck that Tuvok and Paris had originally arrived in, which leaves them no choice but to hop inside of Rain's van to drive away from the suspenseful scene.

Answer: Year Of Hell, Part 1

Although Seven often preferred to remain standing, there were a few times in the series where she would sit down. In "Year of Hell, Part 1", after Tuvok becomes blinded as a result of the Krenim torpedo that detonates while he and Seven are together inside the Jefferies tube, Seven comes to visit him later in his quarters to give the chief of security a report on the ship's current status, both crewmembers sitting down on opposite couches in the process.

In "One", Seven does sit down at one of the tables alone in the mess hall when she's consuming her nutritional supplement. And she's sitting down at a table in the mess hall again when she joins B'Elanna, Harry and Paris at the very end of the episode, recounting her experiences with navigating the Mutara nebula.

But Seven isn't ever sitting down in anybody's quarters in this episode. In "The Omega Directive", the only time Seven is seated is when she's on the holodeck at the end of the episode, running Janeway's Leonardo da Vinci program and sitting on one of the benches inside the imaginary Italian artist's workshop.

In "11:59", we see Seven seated inside someone's quarters again--Janeway's quarters--when she's joined the captain, Harry, Paris and the Doctor to talk about the histories of their respective families. However, since "11:59" aired in Voyager's fifth season and much later than the fourth season "Year Of Hell" two-parter, that eliminates it from being the correct answer.

Answer: Remember

The Enaran woman named Jora Mirell is discovered to have been the one sharing memories about the conflict in her society with B'Elanna who, in her 'dreams', is posing as a young girl named Korenna. At one point, B'Elanna leaves her own quarters to seek Jora Mirell to get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding those 'dreams'.

When B'Elanna enters the Enaran's quarters, she finds Mirell already on the verge of death. Fortunately, Mirell is able to transfer the rest of her memories to B'Elanna before she dies, a final pulse taken by B'Elanna for confirmation.

In "Death Wish", although the suicidal Q, who would be named 'Quinn', does end up being granted asylum on Voyager, we never actually see anybody visiting him in his quarters before he dies.

In "Unforgettable", neither Kellin, the Ramuran bounty hunter who falls in love with Chakotay, nor the other Ramuran she was hunting at the beginning of the episode, nor Curneth, the other bounty hunter, who eventually tracks Kellin down on Voyager, die in this episode.

The only thing that does happen is Kellin having her memories wiped out by Curneth's energy blast from his weapon when he de-cloaks inside of Kellin's quarters. In "Emanations", we never see Ptera, the Vhnori girl who mistakes Voyager for being her people's afterlife, living in crew quarters; she's only seen in sickbay, the transporter room (where she dies for real, her dead corpse appearing on the transporter pad) and in the mess hall dining with Kes.

Answer: The Omega Directive

Chakotay is discussing the modifications required by the captain's secret mission to B'Elanna, Paris and Seven. After rumored speculation about the Omega Directive, everyone is dismissed, but not before Chakotay tells Seven that the captain wants to see her, which is no surprise to the ex-Borg drone, as it's discovered soon after that Seven knows just as much about the Omega molecule that Janeway does.

In "The Voyager Conspiracy", Chakotay does go to engineering to give B'Elanna special instructions that will modify the ship's emitters prior to Voyager using the catapult, but there were no other crewmembers present that he was giving different instructions to prior to that.

In "Night", Chakotay does have command of the ship with Janeway choosing to confine herself to quarters. Aside from him briefly ordering Seven to give him good news regarding the ship navigating through 'the void' when she reports to the bridge at the beginning of the episode, he meets with the rest of the senior staff in the briefing room with additional instructions.

But in both cases, Chakotay isn't in engineering, and neither is he handing out PADDs with these special instructions either. In "Dark Frontier", Chakotay doesn't have any special instructions at all for any crewmembers that requires him to hand out PADDs.

Answer: Before And After

Another tricky one to close out this quiz! The key word on this one is 'temporary'. "Before And After" showed Chakotay as the captain and, thus, PERMANENTLY in command of Voyager in Kes's future timelines, following the deaths of Janeway and B'Elanna as a result of the blast from the Krenim's torpedo.

In "The Q And The Grey", after Q transports himself and Janeway back to the Q Continuum, where the captain realizes that a civil war has erupted due to the death of the Q named 'Quinn', Chakotay then assumes command of Voyager, who must then negotiate with the female Q in order to get Voyager to enter the Q Continuum as well and to help resolve the omnipotent aliens' conflict.

In "Hope And Fear", after the scheming Arturis has managed to prevent Janeway and Seven from beaming off the U.S.S. Dauntless initially, Chakotay is in command of Voyager again, who orders that Voyager enter the quantum slipstream velocity in order to rescue the two women before the Dauntless enters Borg space. In "Tsunkatse", Janeway had taken the Delta Flyer to another part of the sector for her shore leave while much the rest of the crew was taking part in the Tsunkatse festivities. Late in the episode, Chakotay is back on Voyager, commanding the ship as it battles the alien vessel broadcasting the fight between Seven and the Hirogen hunter. Janeway's early termination of her shore leave due to the untimely events unfolding leads her to arrive into battle while still piloting the Delta Flyer, targeting the alien ship's satellites in order to disrupt the broadcast and allow Seven and the Hirogen hunter to be rescued.
