Name That Episode #29 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Resolutions

Janeway and Chakotay have been left behind on the M-class planet as a quarantine measure, due to the virus they both contracted while on a previous away mission (not seen on screen). In one scene, when day has turned into night, Janeway is taking a bath in the tub that Chakotay built, talking about a new idea she has for finding a cure to their disease. Suddenly, she hears rustling in the trees, and when she alerts Chakotay, he quickly grabs a phaser and a SIMs beacon from their house and hurries outside. Turns out that, when Chakotay shines his beacon in the trees, the 'someone' Janeway heard in the woods is just a lonely primate.

In "Concerning Flight", we do see Janeway traversing an outdoor wooded area--when she's heading towards the location of the flying machine with the holographic Leonardo da Vinci in an attempt to escape the alien pirates--but there are no other members of the crew anywhere in sight.

In "Coda", it's true that Janeway is in a wooded area when she is with Chakotay down on the planet after their shuttle has crashed, and that the unexpected presence of the Vidiians raises concern.

However, she only calls out to Chakotay after one of the Vidiians zaps him with a phaser inside the cavern, which is when another one of the Vidiians proceeds to attack the captain by choking her. Janeway never finds herself in a wooded region in "Resistance"; we only see her in the marketplace, the underground Mokra prisons and the crude shack of a shelter where the crazed man named Caylem lives.

Answer: Meld

In a test to gauge his ability to remain in control after having initiated the transferring of thoughts with the murderer, Lon Suder, Tuvok runs a simple holodeck program where he is seated in the mess hall and a friendly holographic Neelix is attempting to force a smile out of him. Of course, we wouldn't actually find out that it WAS a holodeck program until, after the holographic Neelix's persistence becomes a little too much to bear, the Vulcan chief of security slowly yet violently chokes the holographic Talaxian to death. Tuvok does appear on the holodeck in all of the other three episodes--working with the French Resistance in the "Killing Game" two-parter, arriving at the scene of the attack on Ensign Tabor in Paris's movie theater in "Repression" and taking part in his own 'Insurrection Alpha' program with Paris in "Worst Case Scenario"--but he's never seen choking anyone to death in any of these three instances.

Answer: Endgame

There are a lot of 'games' being played in the series finale, but besides the more serious ones between Admiral Janeway and the Borg Queen, Admiral Janeway and Captain Janeway, and Admiral Janeway and the Klingons, members of the crew are enjoying games of personal leisure as well. Tuvok is playing kal'toh with Icheb in the mess hall, and despite the Vulcan chief of security's intelligence, the ex-Borg drone severed from the Collective (in the episode by the same name, in fact) places the final piece in the correct spot to defeat the Vulcan master at his own game. Meanwhile, in Neelix's final appearance of the series, he and Seven are playing kadis-kot remotely via the viewscreen in Astrometrics; it would actually mark the ONLY time in the series where we would see the Talaxian morale officer playing any kind of board game with the ship's first ex-Borg drone.

However, their kadis-kot match is interrupted when the Astrometrics sensors pick up peculiar readings inside of a nearby nebula, which we would soon discover is the source of the Borg's trandswarp hub.

In "Riddles", we do see a mentally-damaged Tuvok engaged in another game of kal-toh when he is playing against Harry, who was his first ever challenger back in the third-season episode, "Alter Ego". However, we never see them finish the game, as Tuvok becomes upset when he can't make the correct move to complete the puzzle. Besides that, it could bee seen that Neelix and Seven were engaged in a bit of a game as they were both quizzing each other, trying to solve their respective puzzles--Tuvok stripped of his Vulcan nature and tracking down the cloaked Ba'neth, respectively--but they successfully offer their respective solutions to each other's puzzle through their extended dialogue in the mess hall. Neither Tuvok nor Neelix are playing any kind of games in the other two episodes.

Answer: Year Of Hell, Part 1

Voyager has been sustaining repeated heavy damaged by the Krenim's attacks to the point where the minds of the crew have become frayed and a state of hopelessness has made survival the only goal. In one scene, Janeway is repairing a piece of equipment in her ready room when a bearded Chakotay walks in and says, "Happy birthday", a chained pocket watch in his hand. Janeway is in disbelief, not realizing so much time has passed since entering Krenim space.

But she orders her first officer to recycle the beautiful replicated gift so that something else more important along the lines of the basic necessities can be created instead.

This was the only time in the series where Janeway's birthday is ever mentioned, so neither of the other three episodes can qualify as the correct answer.

Answer: Dark Frontier

While reviewing the log entries of her parents in the cargo bay, we see a flashback into her past where she's still a child onboard the U.S.S. Raven, 'Annika' asking her parents several questions about the Borg--"What do they look like?", among others.

When the flashback fades and time shifts back into the present, Naomi Wildman enters the cargo bay to check on her ex-Borg friend. But things become a little creepy when Naomi begins to ask Seven the exact same questions about the Borg that 'Annika' had asked her own parents. Seven becomes uneasy, ordering the half-Ktarian child to stop the questioning, but not before little Naomi sprouts Borg implants on her face. We eventually find out that the source of Seven's apparent hallucination was the Borg Queen having initiated contact with her.

In "Retrospect", we only see an Entharan man in the medical lab down on the planet sprouting Borg implants in Seven's flashback (when her nanoprobes are being stripped and injected into the alien's body), but there are no crewmembers who are seen partially or even halfway transformed into a drone. "Infinite Regress" showed nobody sprouting Borg implants at all, and the same holds true for the seventh-season episode, "Imperfection".

Answer: False Profits

Remembering that Neelix was surgically altered to masquerade as the Ferengi 'Grand Nagus', the Talaxian morale officer finds himself and the two false Ferengi 'gods' being tied up and bound in rope by the hostile townspeople. In accordance with the ancient texts of the civilization, a ball of blazing fire has been placed at the trio's feet, representing the bright light that was supposed to take the gods away to a higher plane. Fortunately, neither Neelix nor his Ferengi companions suffer that fate and are rescued out of the town square just in the nick of time.

In "Juggernaut", one could say that Neelix--as well as the other members of the away team--are at a bit of a risk of being 'burned alive' by the radiation, the steam and the hot gunk dripping from the pipes of the Malon freighter, but he's never restrained in any manner.

In "Cold Fire", we do see Kes using her enhanced Ocampan powers to create the fires that burn the plants in the airponics bay--not to mention, the face of her Vulcan mentor and friend, Tuvok--but Neelix isn't the victim nor is at risk of either of the two fiery acts.

Then in "Basics, Part 2", it's true that Neelix--and the rest of the stranded crew, for that matter--is at risk of being killed by the dangerous lava flowing from the mountains scattered around the surface, but he's never actually bounded and restricted from moving against his free will while in that danger.

Answer: Demon

While searching for Paris and Kim on the uninhabitable Y-class planet, Chakotay and Seven, who are both wearing environmental suits to shield themselves against the toxic air, approach a cliff that, at first, appears to be stable. One wrong step by Chakotay, however, sends him sliding over the edge and dangling by one arm, Seven unable to pull him up on her own.

But when the outstretched arm of someone who appears to be Tom Paris, who ISN'T wearing an environmental suit, helps to rescue the first officer from the jowls of death, both Chakotay and Seven are alarmed, believing Paris's survival to be an impossibility and that there has to be something very wrong.

It's later discovered that this particular individual whom we see as 'Paris' is actually one of the duplicates created in the pools of deuterium when the real Paris--and his buddy Harry--first landed on the planet's surface.

In "Basics, Part 2", it's not Chakotay, but an unnamed crewmember in a blue Starfleet science uniform, who is seen slipping off a steep cliff and dangling by one arm.

The crewman's rescue is unsuccessful, as in the horrifying moment that follows, the primeval Hanonian beast devours him whole. Chakotay isn't seen almost falling off of or dangling from any ledges or cliffs in neither "Tattoo" nor "Friendship One".

Answer: Investigations

As part of the plan to flush out the spy that's been sending secret transmissions over to the Kazon, Paris prepares to leave Voyager and join a Talaxian convoy. While Neelix is relaying the news to the entire crew via his ship-wide "A Briefing With Neelix" broadcast, we see a civilian-clothed Paris giving his goodbye handshakes and hugs to Harry, Kes and the Talaxian morale officer himself before stepping onto the transporter pad, de-materializing from everyone's view moments later.

In "Future's End, Part 2", it's true Paris is no longer dressed in his familiar red Starfleet uniform; instead, a casual shirt and some blue jeans is his preferred attire, as he and a similarly civilian-clothed Tuvok are in twentieth-century Los Angeles on Earth, attempting to track down Henry Starling's time ship.

But at no point do we ever see Paris in the transporter room, and certainly not while he's being greeted or seen off there by Neelix, Harry and Kes. In "Threshold", we briefly see Paris dressed in evening wear in his quarters when Janeway pays him a visit, warning him about the potential risks of the proposed warp-ten shuttle flight.

But once again, we don't see Paris in the transporter room. The same holds true for the first-season episode, "Ex Post Facto"; we don't even see him wearing civilian clothes at all in this episode, not even while he's with Lidell Ren down on the Banean homeworld.

Answer: Time And Again

Janeway, Paris and the alien boy named Neeka have all been apprehended by the three alien gunmen who are opposed to the planet's usage of polaric energy, being held in a cozy office room for questioning. Meanwhile, Chakotay and the rest of the away team, who are in another time fragment, make an attempt to contact Janeway through a com signal, Chakotay's voice being heard through Janeway's com badge.

Unfortunately, one of the alien gunmen hears the communication, accusing Janeway of being in possession of eavesdropping devices and promptly being ordered to remove both her com badge and that of Paris's as well. Shortly afterwards, Janeway, Paris and Neeka are escorted out of the room and ordered to go to the polaric energy plant, only seconds before the time portal created by the away team's equipment opens up, serving as the crew's first failed rescue attempt.

In "Displaced", it's true that a portal from the neighboring habitat onboard the Nyrian ship appears after Janeway's com badge has already been confiscated by the guards.

However, the portal appears because of the Doctor's holographic technology having been manipulated to create the opening in the artificial environment, and not because of the technology associated with any of the crew's com badges itself. In "Concerning Flight", we do see Janeway's com badge getting taken by one of the alien pirates when she's caught trying to communicate with it while in Leonardo da Vinci's workshop, but there are no anomalies or portals of any kind that appear while she's inside the workshop during that moment. Then in "Renaissance Man", Janeway's com badge has already been stripped from her by the portly 'spy aliens' when both she and the Doctor have been apprehended, but there are no portals or anomalies that appear inside the aliens' ship in any proximity to her communicator technology.

Answer: Warlord

Let's start with the episodes where there WAS at least one crewmember missing from the away team. In "Faces", B'Elanna, Paris and Lieutenant Durst had been on the original away mission to the planet when they are all apprehended by the Vidiians and forced to work in the mining colony. B'Elanna is the one who ends up separated from Paris and Durst, as she's being surgically divided into a full Human and a full Klingon by the Vidiian doctor named Sulan. "Emanations" saw Harry on the away mission with B'Elanna and Chakotay when a new chemical element is discovered on one of the asteroids.

He ends up missing when the subspace vacuole transfers his body into the Vhnori's cenotaph while the body of the Vhnori woman named Ptera ends up appearing on Voyager's transporter pad. Harry is missing for a while again in "Muse" after the shuttle that he and B'Elanna were piloting crashes down on the planet. B'Elanna ends up befriending the alien playwright who is inspired by her and, after Harry miraculously finds his way back to the shuttle, helps the troubled playwright to put on a stellar final performance that pleases--and shocks--the once critical audience. That leaves "Warlord" as the last episode to consider.

Here, there were two separate away missions: first, Tuvok going down to Ilari alone in an attempt to apply the device to Kes's face that would remove the alien possession; second, the team consisting of Paris, Janeway, Neelix and the other Ilari to rescue Tuvok and put an end to Tieran's reign. In the first case, there was nobody else with Tuvok, so there was no 'rest of the group' for him to be missing from. Then in the second case, since the team does end up being successful in stopping Tieran, there is no further conflict, especially in regards to any missing crewmembers that must be accounted for.
