Name That Episode #41 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Muse

In the opening teaser, the alien playwright returns to the Delta Flyer to check on his inspiration: B'Elanna, the 'Eternal', whose hands and feet are bound with rope. After convincing him to treat her wounds and to untie her, an angry B'Elanna snatches a phaser and points it at the playwright, demanding that he leaves.

When he refuses to budge, B'Elanna turns and fires a phaser blast at a bulkhead as a warning that she's serious. The alien poet flees, but eventually returns later with food, pressing the half-Klingon for more stories about Voyager's travels.

Answer: Live Fast And Prosper

'Sister Dala', the alien impersonating Janeway, ends up being captured and placed in Voyager's brig. In one scene, Neelix brings food to their deceitful inmate and even attempts to bond with her, wanting to know why she resorts to the exploitation of strangers.

But the Talaxian lets his guard down too much, because when he turns to get her something off the food tray, 'Sister Dala' knocks him over the back and snatches his phaser. Before the brig security officer can react, fake Janeway blasts him with a phaser shot, then blasts Neelix in the chest as he's calling for security. Fake Janeway then leaves the brig and eventually flees Voyager, heading back down to the planet to join her scheming comrades for their final transaction of illegal resources.

Answer: Twisted

The key phrase here is 'giving orders to crewmembers on the bridge'. During the vast majority of the episode, despite being in charge while Janeway is unconscious and hallucinating, Chakotay is either on the holodeck himself or wandering the corridors along with the rest of the crew. Chakotay is not seen on the bridge until the very end of the episode, when resolution with the mysterious space-faring lifeform has been reached and everything is back to normal.

But by this time, Janeway is back in command and she, Chakotay, Neelix and the rest of the senior staff resume celebrating Kes's birthday with the giant cake they all never got to enjoy.

In "Night", Chakotay is in command while Janeway chooses to seclude herself in her own quarters.

In the opening teaser, he is seen on the bridge talking to Paris and Kim over the com, telling them to fix the holodeck power failure while the Captain Proton simulation is running. He then orders Seven to give him some good news in regards to Voyager traveling through 'the void', but Seven disobeys and informs him of the absence of stars and other ships within the vast region.

In "Hope And Fear", when Janeway and Seven are being held hostage by the vengeful Arturis onboard the U.S.S. Dauntless, Chakotay is in command of Voyager, with one of his most crucial orders given when he wants Paris to steer Voyager out of the quantum slipstream conduit before it ends up in Borg space. Then in "Future's End, Part 1", Chakotay is briefly in command of Voyager after he and B'Elanna are rescued by Tuvok and the Doctor in Arizona. When he comes to the bridge, he finds that Harry had been left in temporary command, as Janeway had gone to the torpedo bay to perform a manual launch in a desperate attempt to stop Starling from entering the temporal rift. Chakotay orders the Doctor (now equipped with his mobile emitter), to go down to the torpedo bay to give Janeway medical treatment. But when the Doctor offers that he doesn't know where the torpedo bay is located, Chakotay then orders that bridge officer Ensign Kaplan accompany the EMH.

Answer: Caretaker

When we see Kes for the very first time in the series pilot, she has emerged from a shelter behind a group of Kazon-Ogla down on the surface of the planet. She is visibly bruised on her face, which presumably came at the hands of the Kazon once she was captured. We soon learn that, after Janeway, Paris, Tuvok and Neelix beam down and meet the Kazon-Ogla's leader, her species is called Ocampa and live only nine years. Additionally, Kes tells them that there were pockets in the forcefields that blocked the cave passages leading to the surface; she was able to escape through one of them, which lead to her capture.

Answer: Mortal Coil

Even with all of the bizarre imagery seen in Neelix's vision quest, which he embarked on as a result of him being revived from death by Seven's nanoprobes, there is no instance where we ever see the Talaxian morale officer depicted as a young boy; the same holds true for all of the other crewmembers.

However, the other three episodes do show a Voyager crewmember in his younger years. "Tattoo" showed Chakotay as a teenager while he, his father and the rest of his tribe are traversing the jungles of Central America, where they will encounter 'The Rubber Tree People' (at the end of this episode, present-day grown-up Chakotay encounters their ancestors, who now called themselves 'The Sky Spirits').

In "Gravity", Tuvok is depicted several times as a teenager, learning how to control his emotions at the guidance of an elder Vulcan grandmaster.

Then in "Favorite Son", during a brief dream montage, Harry is shown as a young boy suffering from a case of Mendakan pox, his mother giving him medicine on a spoon while in sickbay.

Answer: Memorial

This time, the key phrase is 'down on a planet'. At the beginning of the episode, we do learn that Chakotay, Neelix, Harry and Paris had returned from a multi-day trade mission and had traveled via the Delta Flyer. However, we never see them on any of the planets that were spoken of.

In fact, the only time we see the surface of a planet at all is in the scenes where crewmembers are hallucinating and re-living the Nakan Massacre and when the crew is down on Tarakis trying to locate the source of those hallucinations.

In the former case, the alien man named Saavdra was the general in charge; in the latter, Janeway herself led the away mission to eventually locate the alien monument equipped with the neural transceiver. In "Tattoo", Chakotay is in command of the survey team during the opening teaser when he, B'Elanna and several other crewmembers are analyzing the particles and mineral deposits in the rocky cliffs, hoping to find something to use as fuel or energy for the ship.

This is when Chakotay discovers a likeness of his tribe's tattoo inscribed within the ground.

In "Emanations", Chakotay leads the away team on the asteroid where they are hoping to locate the rare element that Harry detected from his Ops station. Instead, they find the dead bodies of several humanoids, which we later learn are the dead Vhnori who are transported there via the subspace vacuoles. Then in "Time And Again", Chakotay again (pun intended!) is in charge when he, Kes, Tuvok, B'Elanna and Harry go back down to the planet, using a sophisticated apparatus equipped with an energy beam in their attempt to rescue Paris and Janeway before the polaric energy detonation occurs.

Answer: Resolutions

This is a very tricky one! There were only a few times in the series where Tuvok even had the opportunity to quote the signature Vulcan farewell blessing of good health and fortune. But when he says it in Season 2's "Resolutions", he does so over the com to bid Janeway and Chakotay good wishes, as the captain and First Officer are being quarantined from the rest of the crew; we don't actually get to see him telling them in person.

In "Revulsion", at the end of the brief ceremony in the mess hall commemorating his new rank, Tuvok does indeed say the trademark Vulcan phrase while forming the classic 'V' pose with his hand.

In "Homestead", the crew again is in the mess hall; this time, Neelix is throwing a party. As a crewmember turns off the music, Neelix calls Tuvok to come to the front of the room to utter the first words spoken to Humans by a Vulcan: 'live long and prosper'. And while doing so, Tuvok again displays the trademark 'V', which is followed by a hearty round of applause. Those historical words, in fact, are spoken by Tuvok a second time towards the end of the episode as Tuvok (and the rest of the crew) are standing on deck and seeing their Talaxian shipmate all the way to the Shuttlebay, where he will depart from Voyager forever.

Then in "Year Of Hell, Part 2", in an attempt to fight off the Krenim time-ship, Tuvok and the remaining senior staff are preparing to board the Nihydren and Mawasi ships while Janeway plans to remain alone onboard Voyager. The blinded Chief Of Security utters those name historical words while holding up the 'V' once more, prompting an emotionally-moved Janeway to embrace her long-time friend.

Answer: Course: Oblivion

Even with the crewmembers onboard the duplicate Voyager dying one by one, we never see a proper memorial service being held for any of them. Presumably, there wasn't time for such formalities, given the desperate situation of survival. Towards the end of the episode, the few remaining decide it would be a good idea to at least launch a time capsule; unfortunately, due to the ship continuing to disintegrate and computer controls being fused, the launch is unsuccessful.

In "One Small Step", a memorial for Ares pilot John Kelly is held on the bridge, with Seven paying tribute by telling the deceased astronaut that the Yankees eventually won the World Series in six games. "Coda" showed a service being held for Janeway in the mess hall, despite the fact that she wasn't even dead! Thanks to the alien, who is revealed to prey on its victims near the edge of death, Janeway gets to witness her crewmembers paying personal tributes as well as her own pod being launched into outer space.

Then in "Alliances", a memorial service is being held for ex-Maquis crewman Kurt Bandera in the mess hall.

He is killed in an explosion in Engineering during the opening teaser when the Kazon are attacking Voyager, which prompts Chakotay to approach the captain about teaming up with Seska and Maje Culluh.

Answer: Human Error

Another very tricky one! Seven's experiment of a romantic relationship with Chakotay sees her donning a beautiful red dress for the occasion. And every time she's wearing that dress, she is actually still on the holodeck, because her new 'quarters' themselves are part of the whole romantic simulation. Although a weird production glitch occurs after Seven's cortical node beings malfunctioning and the Doctor pays a visit to her on the holodeck. When she is later seen lying on a biobed in sickbay, she is suddenly wearing her trademark burgundy spandex jumpsuit! Did the Doctor change the ex-Borg drone's clothes while she was unconscious? And for that matter, how did Seven even change from one spandex suit to the other between episodes if she's always regenerating and never had her own personal quarters? A secret little strip tease when nobody was in the cargo bay, perhaps? While you're busy gnawing on that little unsolved mystery...

"Extreme Risk" showed B'Elanna in a shiny, blue and black spacesuit for her orbital skydiving adventure on the holodeck in the opening teaser. Shortly afterwards, following a call to her over the com, she's later seen walking in the corridor with the spacesuit still on as Seven catches up with her to discuss a technical engineering problem. In "The Killing Game, Part 1", Janeway, Neelix and Seven are all seen laying on biobeds in sickbay after being 'hunted' (actually stabbed and shot down, respectively) by their Hirogen captors during the holodeck simulations. Janeway is still wearing her Klingon warrior costume while Neelix and Seven are dressed in their civilian clothes from the Nazi-Germany era. Then in "Alter Ego", Paris and B'Elanna are seen walking in the corridor and wearing tropical motif shirts in preparation for Neelix's luau, discussing why Harry wasn't initially coming. Then the two lieutenants are seen later on the holodeck wearing the same shirts while the festivities in the re-created Talaxian resort are already in progress.

Answer: The Fight

The two 'imaginary' instances that occur in this episode are the boxing simulation on the holodeck and Chakotay's vision quest. In both instances, we see the real Chakotay, while all of the other characters around him are imaginary figures. In "Barge Of The Dead", although everything B'Elanna experienced was real to her, it still must be perceived as imaginary, because we have no actual proof that 'Klingon hell' actually existed. Towards the end of the episode, when B'Elanna appears on the deck of the hell-bound ship, representations of all of the senior officers (plus B'Elanna's mother) are seen standing around her in a circle.

Although the imaginary Chakotay remains silent, B'Elanna holds her bat'leth up to his neck, questioning if he wants her to be a good Maquis.

In "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", Chakotay is shown during a couple of the Doctor's daydreams: the opera performance in the mess hall at the beginning of the episode, then when Doc is playing the role of the Emergency Command Hologram on the bridge during the 'Borg attack'.

Then in "Persistence Of Vision", B'Elanna is in Engineering when she becomes victim to the mysterious alien that has been causing the crew to hallucinate. She imagines that Chakotay is in love with her, and after an intimate moment, we next see her hungrily lusting for the fake Chakotay and getting it on with him in bed (in her quarters or in the fake Chakotay's quarters?) before we eventually see her sitting on the floor in Engineering in her frozen, catatonic state.
