Name That Episode #32 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Flashback

The virus that manifested itself as a memory in Tuvok's brain took the form of Tuvok as a young boy, desperately reaching over a mountainous cliff and trying to prevent a little girl from falling down below. This 'flashback' would repeat itself over and over all the way up until the end, when a series of various other children are taking turns trying to rescue the falling girl. Now that I think about this episode, I never really quite understood what exactly the girl (nor the other children) represented, but then again, practically all of the other bizarre 'mind' episodes in the "Star Trek" universe are often difficult to understand altogether. "Innocence" did allow us to see 'children' (the ones stranded with Tuvok were actually adults, even though the actors where children), but none of them are seen falling down into a bottomless pit of any kind.

In "Nemesis", we did see a young girl when the brainwashed Chakotay emerged from the woods and arrived at the Vori settlement. Later, we see them trapped together below the surface in a deep trench being guarded by Kradin soldiers, but other than this, there are no children seen falling into a bottomless pit.

Then in "Remember", there were no little children seen at all in B'Elanna's/Korenna's memories of the atrocities that took place in Enaran society.

Answer: The Cloud

This one is very tricky! At the beginning of "The Cloud", Janeway is taking a leisurely stroll through Voyager while we hear her (presumably) THINKING about a log she recorded beforehand where she's reflecting upon observations she's made about her new Starfleet/Maquis crew.

In the final sentence of that log, she orders the computer to delete the last entry while we see her shaking her head in shame onscreen. In "Latent Image", we do find out that it was Janeway who went to sickbay to delete the files that had recorded the prior conversations between the Doctor and Seven, thanks to Doc's holo-imager.

However, we DON'T see nor hear Janeway verbally deleting any of her own personal logs. In "Renaissance Man", even with all of the 'hologram shape-shifting' that the Doctor does while covertly working for the 'spy aliens' in order to hand over the warp core to them, there is never a moment Janeway (or the Doctor disguised as Janeway) is verbally deleting personal log entries.

Then in "Coda", Janeway isn't verbally deleting personal logs at all--not in any of the instances she experiences death nor after she becomes a walking ghost image and is presumed 'dead' by the crew.

Answer: Prototype

B'Elanna is in the mess hall trying to convince the resident Talaxian to pour her one more cup of coffee, as she's trying to concentrate on figuring out how to reactivate the Pralor automated unit. Neelix convinces her that sleeping over the problem will give her the concentration she needs to focus.

After B'Elanna makes one last request, he orders B'Elanna to bed, but after briefly getting comfortable in her quarters, she gets right back up and rushes to sickbay in her nightgown, activating the Doctor's program so he can help her shed some new light on the situation.

In "Learning Curve", the only time B'Elanna enters the mess hall is during her analysis of Neelix's brill cheese, which was responsible for infecting the gel packs and impacting environmental controls on the ship; Neelix never orders her to go to bed.

In "Drive", Neelix does have a touching heart-to-heart conversation with B'Elanna regarding her relationship with Paris after her husband-to-be and Harry have entered the alien shuttle race. B'Elanna, however, isn't hard at work; she's only reading a PADD to pass the time as her Talaxian crewmate tries his best to be a comforting ear before returning back to the mess hall kitchen.

Answer: Ashes To Ashes

In an attempt to provide more structure for the newly-severed-from-the-Collective children while also giving them an opportunity to express their individuality, Seven has the young ex-Borg drones work on a series of different creativity projects in the mess hall. Mezoti's creation is a crude and rather funny-looking clay likeness of Seven's face, complete with a Borg ocular implant, full lips and all.

In "The Raven", we do see Seven briefly trying to shape together an art piece using clay at Janeway's suggestion while she and the captain are partaking in the Leonardo Da Vinci simulation on the holodeck.

However, an actual likeness of Seven's face is never made. In "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", we do see the Doctor painting what we presume to be a nude Seven posing for him in one of his daydreams, but a clay sculpture depicting a likeness of Seven is NOT one of the things we see.

Then in "Natural Law", despite all of the time Seven spent down on the surface of the planet with the Ventu and having to resort to the Ventu's primitive ways in order to survive, there is never a moment when anybody on the surface--including herself--is constructing clay formations of her.

Answer: Unity

Here's another tricky one! "Unity" was Voyager's second episode featuring the Borg, and the first episode that featured Chakotay finding himself mentally linked with them (technically, it was the ex-drones down on the planet, who then used him to reactivate the derelict Borg cube hovering in outer space).

At no time while he is onboard the cube is he actually partaking in a conversational exchange with the cube's computer or with the Collective altogether; we only hear the Collective's unified voices instructing Chakotay what to do, and Chakotay simply doing what he's been instructed while saying nothing whatsoever.

In "Warhead", the Doctor was able to communicate directly with the alien missile that was rescued from the planet's surface and brought onto Voyager for repairs and analysis.

While the missile 'talks' with a series of electronic blips and beeps and other sound effects, the Doctor speaks to it using normal English. In "Ashes To Ashes", the once-thought-to-be-dead Voyager crewmember, Lindsay Ballard (although we'd never seen her prior to this episode), is seen in her transformed Kobali state at the very beginning of the episode when she is trying to outrun the ships and return safely back to Voyager.

In the interior of her Kobali ship, we hear her speaking in the Kobali language as she is engaging input controls on a computer interface to fire upon her pursuing assailants. Then in "Vis À Vis", after 'Steth' has switched bodies and allowed Paris to assume the alien identity, Paris finds himself alone on the coaxial warp-capable alien ship headed directly back to Benthan space. Paris verbally tries to order the ship's computer to stop and alter course, but it's of no use before the Benthan patrol ships seize him with one of the guards beaming onto the ship in an attempt to arrest him.

Answer: Tinker, Tenor Doctor, Spy

In one of the most humorous moments of Voyager's sixth season, the Doctor is in engineering with Harry, B'Elanna and Seven when he suddenly begins to experience another one of his daydreams. In this instance, he is imagining himself having to save the ship from a breach by ejecting the warp core when in reality, Voyager is just fine. Unable to verbally keep him away from the warp core, a concerned Harry, B'Elanna and Seven each grab hold of one of the Doctor's limbs and physically drag their holographic friend across the floor and out of engineering.

In "Day Of Honor", the warp core must actually be dumped, despite the efforts on the part of B'Elanna and Seven to stabilize it. Moreover, there is nobody needing to be physically dragged out of engineering; everyone inside is able to run out of the room under their own power. "Infinite Regress" saw the warp core remaining safe; it was the vinculum designed by the mysterious Species 6339, which was the source of Seven's schizophrenic personalities, that eventually is removed from Voyager and not the warp core itself.

Then in "Warhead", the only thing in need of ejection from Voyager is the alien missile that takes possession of the Doctor. Once again, the warp core remains safe from potential tampering.

Answer: Caretaker

As the pulses from the Caretaker's array are blasting the surface of the Ocampa's homeworld, everyone is frantically trying to escape from the underground caves. Kes, B'Elanna and Harry make it out first and beam back to the ship, and Neelix helps Janeway rescue an injured Tuvok as they are traversing upwards the metal staircase. That leaves Chakotay, who is unable to walk under his own power due to his leg being broken.

A brave Paris stays behind and carefully descends the tilting staircase to grab hold of his soon-to-be first officer, rescuing him before the entire structure collapses and they find themselves caved in.

In "Unity", Chakotay does get injured when the shuttle carrying him and Ensign Kaplan crashes on the planet of the ex-Borg drones, but there's never any moment afterwards when he is struggling to walk under his own power and needs to be rescued.

In "Workforce, Part 2", Chakotay does suffer injury at the hands of his physical confrontation with the Quarren security guards while working undercover to rescue the brainwashed crewmembers, but he is able to walk under his own power at all times...that is, until he finds himself captured and held prisoner at the Quarren medical facility.

Then in "The Killing Game, Part 2", Chakotay doesn't sustain any injuries at all--not while he is believing himself to be an American military commander during the Hirogen's Nazi-Germany holodeck simulation nor after his neural pathways--and those of the rest of the crew--are restored back to normal.

Answer: The Swarm

At the very beginning of the episode, Paris and B'Elanna are onboard the shuttlecraft when Voyager's conn officer is slyly trying to make a play for B'Elanna, who then tells him that she would rather take her chances with Lieutenant Baxter, whom we saw briefly wandering around the reconfigured corridors in the second-season episode "Twisted". "Blood Fever" marked the episode where Paris and B'Elanna would first become in any way romantically close and intimate, even though B'Elanna's ravenous sexual appetite was brought on by Ensign Vorik's forced mind meld, which gave her the Vulcan pon farr.

However, this episode aired much later than "The Swarm". A few episodes after "Blood Fever", we would witness a rather intimate, flirty moment when Paris joins B'Elanna in the mess hall as she is reading a Klingon romance novel on a PADD.

But again, this episode aired much later than "The Swarm". By the time the fourth-season episode "Day Of Honor" aired, the two lieutenants were already dating, and their memorable, helpless situation that featured them floating in space in their EVA suits marked the first time where B'Elanna confessed her love for Admiral Paris's son.

Answer: Revulsion

In another classic moment of the series, Seven and Harry, who had been working together all episode long to improve the ship's proficiency, are together in the mess hall when Seven concludes that Harry's intentional attempts to spend time with her, as well as his obvious facial observations, are indicators of sexual attraction. Dropping her PADD on a table, she orders Harry to take off his clothes, but a shocked and fearsome Harry reacts quickly, standing up and verbally defending that it's all been a big misunderstanding to her.

There are no other such moments of this kind of misunderstanding in the other three episodes.

Answer: Ex Post Facto

A rather tricky one to close out this quiz! There were many instances when Tuvok, whether with a security detail or alone, failed to stop a security breach already in progress on Voyager. The breach in "Investigations" was primarily the covert actions of Michael Jonas to Seska and the Kazon, which Tuvok did not stop; the secret communications were discovered by Paris upon being captured by the Kazon ship following his transfer to the Talaxian convoy. Additionally, once Jonas WAS discovered to be the spy, a second security breach occurs when he knocks out a nosy Neelix who had been watching him in engineering. Jonas and Neelix eventually engage in a physical struggle, which leads to Jonas falling off the upper-level catwalk and into the fiery depths of the warp core below. Only after this takes place does Tuvok enter engineering, but by then, Neelix already has the situation under control.

In "Warlord", the security breach here is a possessed Kes and her two Ilari accomplices killing the Ilari Ambassador and the transporter room chief before hijacking a shuttle and escaping from Voyager, all before Tuvok and his security detail can stop them.

Then in "Living Witness", during the 'real' events of the Kyrian/Vaskan war (as told from the Doctor's point of view), Tedran and a group of Kyrians take Seven and an unnamed crewmember hostage in engineering at gunpoint. Tuvok and his security detail do arrive, but they have no choice but to put down their weapons and allow Tedran and the other Kyrian assailants to escort the hostages out of engineering and into the mess hall. Only when Tedran is shot and killed, following Janeway's brief stab at diplomacy, is the situation deescalated. So that leaves "Ex Post Facto" to be considered as the correct answer. In this early episode of the series, Paris has already been tried AND convicted of the murder of the Banean scientist, Dr. Tolan Ren, which is proven to be false by the end of the episode. Everything of a security nature is restricted to the shuttlecraft piloted by Paris and Harry (which was used as the bait trap against the Numiri) and the home of Tolan Ren itself, which is where his murder took place.
