Name That Episode #20 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Alliances

This one's somewhat tricky! First of all, in "State Of Flux", none of the Kazon ships Voyager encountered ever deployed weapons fire--not on Voyager nor on anything else. Secondly, in "Shattered", there were no Kazon ships encountered at all, despite Seska and a few of her Kazon henchmen appearing in one of Chakotay's fractured timelines.

In "Initiations", the two Kazon ships encountered by Chakotay only fired upon his shuttle with phasers and a tractor beam; they don't fire upon anything else.

It's true that there was weapons fire deployed on the moon where Chakotay and the Kazon boy, who was trying to earn his name in battle, transported before the shuttle crashed. But the source of that weapons fire were the hidden disruptors, charges and other devices the Kazon had constructed beneath the rocks for their training exercises and not any of the Kazon ships themselves. So that leaves "Alliances" as the correct answer. Near the end of this episode, Janeway, Neelix, Tuvok and the Trabe leader are all meeting with the Majes of the four Kazon sects on Sobras when the room where the negotiations are taking place begins to tremble.

Instinctively, Janeway orders everyone to get down on the floor, and not a moment to soon, as a Kazon ship right outside the window had moved into position to spray weapons fire into the room. Unfortunately for the Trabe leader, none of the Kazon Majes were killed in the incident as he had wanted, causing Janeway to break off any potential chance of an alliance she and her crew might've had with his people.

Answer: Innocence

While Tuvok is stranded on the Drayan planet with the three 'children' (who were actually adults), he's having a difficult time keeping them out of trouble. One of the ways he gets the children to calm down, as well as help alleviate their fears about the Morrok creature, is by singing a spiritual Vulcan song, which consequently puts the children to sleep.

In "Caretaker", Neelix was in fact singing shortly after Voyager's first contact with him, but he was happily on board Voyager, immersing himself in a bathtub full of water in his new quarters while doing so. Nobody on the crew is singing in neither "Heroes And Demons" nor "Initiations".

Answer: Elogium

As part of the Ocampan ritual for Kes to prepare for child conception, she has the Doctor to massage both of her feet, declining to have Janeway do it since the captain was already occupied with the situation involving the sexually-attracted space-dwelling lifeforms.

In "Phage", one could say that Neelix was receiving a 'finger massage' when the Doctor scratched the itch causing an immobile Neelix lying on a bio-bed so much discomfort. But the Doctor didn't do it cheerfully; it was only as a result of the Talaxian's unyielding persistence. And even though there are patients in need of medical assistance in both "Lifesigns" (the Vidiian woman named Denara Pel) and "Macrocosm" (the Garan miners and the crewmembers infected with the macrovirus), the Doctor doesn't give anyone a massage in either episode.

Answer: Living Witness

In the Kyrian museum's simulated portrayal of the 'Warship Voyager', Seven appears as a full Borg drone and injects her assimilation tubules into one of the Kyrians that had assumed temporary control of engineering. In "Unity", there are no Borg assimilation tubules in operation at any time--not while Chakotay is down on the planet with the ex-drones nor while the away team is on the derelict Borg ship with the reactivated drones.

In "The Raven", although Seven's Borg technology is activated in response to Voyager's proximity to the shuttle, she never uses her assimilation tubules, and nor do any of the Borg drones that are seen in Seven's flashbacks.

In "Drone", we do see the tubules sprouting up and assimilating the Doctor's mobile emitter, which lead to the creation of 'One'. Plus, we also see Seven injecting her tubules into 'One' in order to force him to understand Seven's instructions.

But in both cases, the tubules aren't being injected into someone that ISN'T a Borg drone.

Answer: The Cloud

This episode was, in fact, the ONLY episode where Harry is eating/drinking something while on the bridge! While the ship is on red alert status, as Voyager had entered into what the crew thought was a nebula (which turned out to be an alien lifeform), Neelix and Kes enter the bridge, both carrying a tray of some delicacy that Neelix cooked up in the kitchen. Janeway, Chakotay, Harry and an unnamed female crewmember each grab a piece before the Talaxian and the Ocampan take their respective seats next to the captain and the first officer. Actually, besides Janeway having her occasional cups of brew, there were no other moments during the series where somebody is eating on the bridge.

In "Learning Curve", the only thing special Harry's doing on the bridge is dripping in sweat (as is the rest of the bridge crew), as a result of Neelix's cheese having infected the ship's bio-neural gel packs. Harry isn't doing anything special at all while at his Operations post in neither "Twisted" nor "Elogium".

Answer: Projections

This one's not as tricky when you consider the situation of each episode. In "Projections", the only time that Voyager's bridge is even seen is when the Doctor is transferred there in the beginning of the episode to treat the holographic projection of Janeway, who had been unconscious as a result of the 'Kazon attack'--all being part of the Doctor's hallucinations. Tuvok, Harry, Chakotay and Paris are all absent, having gone into the escape pods with the rest of the crew (still part of the Doctor's hallucinations), and even if they had been, the fact that they were all holographic projections and not the REAL versions of themselves would still qualify this episode for being the first where none of the four gentlemen are at their posts. In "Faces", both Tuvok and Harry are seen at their respective posts on the bridge when they are helping to figure out the whereabouts of the away team that consisted of Paris, B'Elanna and Lieutenant Durst.

In "Twisted", Tuvok and Harry are both seen on the bridge again at the very beginning when the spatial distortion (which is really the alien lifeform) is encountered in space.

Although Tuvok is in command, sitting down in the captain's chair, Harry is at his usual operations station, eager to join the festivities of Kes's birthday on the holodeck. Things get somewhat tricky with Voyager's pilot episode. Although Paris and Chakotay hadn't officially been named the conn officer and first officer, respectively, Tuvok WAS Janeway's chief of security and eventually took over at tactical once it was revealed that he was a Maquis spy, and Janeway DID allow Harry to take over at operations before the Caretaker's displacement wave pulled Voyager into the Delta Quadrant.

Answer: Infinite Regress

The very first scenes that Seven and Naomi have together are memorable ones for sure! When Naomi is secretly following the ex-Borg drone through a corridor, Seven confronts the half-Ktarian girl, who admits to wanting to someday become captain. That's when Seven experiences another one of her personality changes, becoming the little girl named Meryl and merrily (yes, pun intended!) running off with Naomi to play kadis-kot. Seven does have many scenes with Naomi in "Bliss", as they and the alien captain team up to escape the 'wormhole creature' that is threatening to devour them and the rest of the Voyager crew. Perhaps the one instance where Seven and Naomi do spend leisure time alone together is at the very end when the two are in Astrometrics.

However, "Bliss" aired AFTER "Infinite Regress", so that fact disqualifies it from being the correct answer. And Seven doesn't have any scenes with Naomi at all in neither "Once Upon A Time" nor "Mortal Coil"; instead, most of Naomi's leisure time in both episodes is spent with her godfather, Neelix.

Answer: Warlord

Here's another tricky one! Firstly, the second season episode "Projections" isn't among one of the four possible answers because it was a holographic projection of Kes, one of the many hallucinations experienced by the Doctor, that kissed the EMH, and not the REAL Kes! The episode from the four possible answers that aired next in chronological order is "Tuvix".

Although there's a portion of both Neelix and Tuvok in the merged lifeform that became Tuvix as a result of the transporter accident, the lifeform still counts as being one unique person.

However, Kes doesn't ever kiss Tuvix herself; she only places her hands on top of his in a comforting, intimate moment. It's actually Tuvix who kisses HER (on the cheek, that is) when the two are alone together in Kes's quarters later on in the episode.

The next episode airing in chronological order is the third season episode "Warlord", where a possessed Kes DOES in fact kiss Tuvok (and passionately, I must say!) right on the lips when the Vulcan chief of security has gone down to the kingdom hall to reverse the process that has caused the Ilari warrior to take control of the young Ocampan.

As for the other two episodes, Kes does share a romantic kiss with the Mikhal Traveler named Zahir in "Darkling" and gets kissed by her future 'husband' Tom Paris while in her aged state at her ninth birthday party in the mess hall in one of her time jumps backwards, but as both episodes aired later than "Warlord", they are eliminated from being the correct answers to this question.

Answer: Alliances

There were a lot of characters to think about for this one! In "Alliances", besides Voyager's senior staff, plus Neelix and Kes, the other NAMED characters who appeared in MORE THAN one episode later on in the series are Maje Culluh ("Basics, Part 1" and "Basics, Part 2"), Michael Jonas ("Threshold", "Meld", "Dreadnought", "Lifesigns" and "Investigations"), Hogan ("Investigations", "Deadlock", "Tuvix", "Resolutions" and "Basics, Part 2") and Seska ("Lifesigns", "Investigations", "Basics, Part 1", "Basics, Part 2", "Worst Case Scenario" and "Shattered").

The Trabe leader named Mabus, the dead crewman named Kurt Bandera and Tersa, Neelix's Kazon friend on Sobras, are the only other named characters, but NEITHER of the three ever appear again in the series.

In "Good Shepherd", the young Bajoran girl Tal Celes is one of the three crewmembers Janeway takes under her wing as they go on the away mission together on the Delta Flyer. That episode marked her first appearance in the series, and she would appear once more midway through "The Haunting Of Deck Twelve", when the crew is navigating the darkened corridors of Voyager as a result of the power failures caused by the alien lifeform.

She encounters Harry, and the two of them have a brief dialogue before the two split up and go their separate ways. In "Learning Curve", the Bolian named Chell is one of the four ex-Maquis crewmen who are under the instruction of Tuvok. He makes a surprise reappearance in the seventh season episode "Repression", as he and the rest of the ex-Maquis are being targeted by mysterious attacks and are ordered by Chakotay to stay together in pairs. Remembering that in "Lineage", B'Elanna's father, John Torres, appears in her flashbacks as a young girl, he's seen again a few episodes later in "Author, Author" when a now grown-up B'Elanna gets a chance to talk to him in Astrometrics, thanks to Voyager being able to communicate to Starfleet via the Midas Array.

Answer: Equinox, Part 2

Besides the characters from "Voyager's" main cast, the only named characters featured in the second part of the fifth-season cliffhanger are Captain Ransom, Max Burke, Noah Lessing, Marla Gilmore, Angelo Tussoni, James Morrow and Brian Sofin--the latter five being named when Janeway confronts them all in the briefing room following the resolution of the events with the nucleogenic aliens. None of these crewmembers from the Equinox are ever seen (or heard speaking) again in the remainder of the series.

In "Fury", during one of Tuvok's hallucinatory episodes as a result of Kes's temporal presence, he enters the cargo bay and imagines Seven and the other Borg children to be regenerating in their respective alcoves. But only Lieutenant Carey is there, who is just as puzzled at Tuvok's entry into the cargo bay as Tuvok is. Carey would be seen and heard from one final time in the seventh season episode "Friendship One", when he goes on the away mission with Neelix, Chakotay, Harry and Paris to the nuclear winter-devastated planet to retrieve the Friendship One probe.

He gets shot to death by the aliens that had held him, Neelix and Paris hostage in the underground cavern (and to think he was oh so very close to making it home and back to Earth!). In "The Bride Of Chaotica!", the maniacal Dr. Chaotica, the ruthless character from Paris' "Captain Proton" holodeck programs, makes a surprise reappearance in the seventh season episode "Shattered". Chakotay and an inoculated Janeway from the past enter one of the time fragments that takes place in the future, the pair entering Chaotica's fortress with Janeway being captured and bound, forced to play along as the Queen Arachnia character, albeit temporarily. In "Lifesigns", the Vidiian woman named Denara Pel, who has the brief romance with the Doctor, appears again later in the season in "Resolutions" when Tuvok makes contact with her in order to get the cure for the disease that has forced Janeway and Chakotay to be quarantined and to take up temporary residence on the planet.
