Name That Episode #6 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Resistance

This one's somewhat tricky. In "Resistance", Janeway is taken away to safety by Calem, the man who believes her to be his daughter, and Neelix is transported safely back to Voyager, but B'Elanna and Tuvok are taken captive by the Mokra soldiers and imprisoned in a cell with a forcefield around it.

After some rigorous questioning and a brief scuffle, Tuvok is escorted out of the cell. Later, after B'Elanna hears distant yells of agony and torment, Tuvok is returned to the cell with visible signs of physical trauma to his face where he explains to B'Elanna his ordeal of having to endure the pain at the hands of the Mokra soldiers.

In "Hunters", Tuvok and Seven are held captive on the Hirogen ship after they're attacked while in their shuttlecraft, but they are bound in uncomfortable bondage restraints and not held behind a forcefield of any kind.

In "The Chute", it's true that Paris and Harry are being held captive behind a forcefield; a forcefield blocked the lower end of the chute that led into the Akritiri prison. And Harry does manage to disable that forcefield, climbing all the way up the chute before realizing that it only leads to outer space. And Kim does get physically assaulted by some of the other inmates; however, any assaulting done to him in the prison takes place in plain clear view.

In "Faces", it's true that there was a hidden forcefield initially preventing the rescue team from getting into the mine where B'Elanna, Paris and Lieutenant Durst are being held captive. And Lieutenant Durst did end up getting taken by guards to an unseen location to get gutted by Sulan, the Vidiian surgeon (that's like BEYOND assault!). However, the forcefield in this episode wasn't lowered until the human B'Elanna disabled it from a control panel, and it certainly wasn't lowered in order to simply have somebody be taken away somewhere to be tortured. By the time B'Elanna did disable the forcefield, Durst had already been assaulted anyways--dead and gone.

Answer: The Fight

A star chart mapping the region called 'chaotic space' is being studied by Seven, Chakotay, Tuvok and Janeway early in the episode. Seven indicates that the crew's dilemma lies with gravitational fluctuations, and points towards the viewscreen to illustrate her observation.

Although Seven does appear inside astrometrics to work on various things in the other three episodes (communicating with the Hirogen controlling the relay network in "Message In A Bottle", illustrating her suspicions about the motives of Icheb's parents in "Child's Play", puzzle-piecing her assimilated data together to formulate her theories in "The Voyager Conspiracy"), she's never pointing at anything on the astrometrics viewscreen. Going a bit further, Seven also points at the astrometrics viewscreen when she first suffers from the Ferengi personality in "Infinite Regress", illustrating that she could make a significant profit selling what she and Harry had created together, as revealed in "Year Of Hell, Part 1". Pondering deeper into this question, it may occur to you that there are very few instances during this series where any of Voyager's crew (or anybody else, for that matter) is visibly pointing at something; most observations are made by using direct eye contact only.

Answer: The Swarm

There are a couple of times in this episode when the Doctor sings without any music: once while on the holodeck when his program is being tested by the holographic Dr. Zimmerman, and again at the end when he's back in sickbay near the end of the episode in the presence of Kes and B'Elanna, proving that his program is back to functioning normally. Near the beginning of the episode, however, the Doctor is practicing opera while paired up with a holographic woman on the holodeck, and an orchestral score of the Doctor's selection is playing in the background. So that immediately disqualifies "The Swarm" as being an episode where the Doctor is singing without accompanying background music.

This was also the first episode where the Doctor expresses his interest in music.

In "Demon", Neelix and a few other crewmembers have taken up temporary residence in sickbay in order to have a place to sleep, but that doesn't stop the Doctor from going on his usual routine of singing while keeping things nice and tidied up in the ship's medical facility. No music is in progress.

But when an angry (and quite clever) Neelix proposes a singalong and begins to show off his own vocal talents (or lack thereof), the Doctor gives in to the Talaxian and allows Neelix and his companions to sleep on the bio-beds with the lights off, ending the singing competition. In "Equinox, Part 2", the Doctor's stolen EMH program has been transferred to the the U.S.S. Equinox while the Equinox's EMH has been transferred to Voyager. Both are operating with their ethical subroutines altered. While the Equinox EMH is secretly trying to undermine Voyager, the Voyager EMH is operating on Seven, attempting to extract data from her Borg technology. In one scene, the Doctor is singing "Oh My Darling, Clementine" as a 'forced duet' with Seven, as he's programmed her to sing along with him while she lies on an operating table in front of him. No music is in progress here either. In "Barge Of The Dead", the Doctor and Seven are singing a Klingon drinking song during the festivities in the mess hall--both near the beginning of the episode and later again towards the end when B'Elanna is dressed in Klingon attire and being taken on a tour through 'Klingon hell' on Voyager. No music is accompanying the Doctor during either of these two instances.

Answer: Distant Origin

One of the coolest alien vessels Voyager encounters in the series is in this episode: the Voth city-ship. Presumably, as the name implies, the city-ship housed an entire city of Voth citizens, so it surely had no problems tractoring Voyager, which visibly appeared to be a thousand times smaller in size (maybe even TEN thousand times smaller!), inside of it.

Then later, after the Voth have boarded Voyager, the crew realizes that they can't fire their phasers nor scan with their tricorders as a result of the dampening field permeating the ship.

In "Hunters", although the Hirogen vessel captures Tuvok and Seven while the pair is on a shuttlecraft, it never locks onto Voyager with a tractor beam. In "Child's Play", the Borg does tractor the Brunali shuttle that a chemically-engineered Icheb is placed on by his parents in an attempt to infect the Collective, but they don't tractor Voyager and pull it inside of the cube at any time.

In "Deadlock", the Vidiians did manage to board the second Voyager and proceeded to shoot several crewmembers with energy blasts from their hand-held surgical weapons, but the Vidiian ship never locked onto Voyager with a tractor beam either.

Answer: Mortal Coil

Towards the end of the episode, Neelix is preparing to leave Voyager via the transporter room while Chakotay tries to talk him out of it. Shortly thereafter, Ensign Wildman enters, wondering where Neelix had been because she needed help in getting her daughter, Naomi, who claimed she saw a monster, to bed. Wildman sees that she's walked into a tense situation, noticing that Neelix is about to leave the ship.

But after a little more encouragement on Chakotay's part, Neelix decides to stay and steps off the transporter pad.

He never transports anywhere and, consequently, neither does Ensign Wildman. In "Elogium", the only two places Wildman appears is on the bridge and in Janeway's ready room, where she tells the captain that she's pregnant.

In "Once Upon A Time", Naomi does hide in the transporter room briefly while she's walking around the ship, curious about the whereabouts of her mother, but her mother never appears in the transporter room herself. In fact, Ensign Wildman is on the Delta Flyer with Paris and Tuvok for much of the episode until the very end when she appears in sickbay, recovering from the shuttle accident during the ion storm.

In "Fury", Wildman appears only on the bridge and in sickbay during the brief timeline when the future vengeful Kes travels back to rescue the duplicate Kes from the past and to deliver the rest of the crew to the organ-harvesting Vidiians.

Answer: Basics, Part 2

When the scheming Cardassian realizes that the Doctor has been helping to undermine Voyager ever since the Kazon took control of it, Seska re-enters sickbay (she had gone there earlier for a check-up for her newborn baby) and, after a brief exchange of words with the Doctor, fires a phaser at a control panel, which disrupts the Doctor's holo-matrix and causes him to go offline.

In "State Of Flux", Seska, before her shocking revelation about her true identity, does fire a phaser while on the planet with the away team that was collecting food, though she's firing at a Kazon in retaliation to a Kazon firing upon Chakotay, who had tracked her down in a nearby cave.

In "Shattered", the alternate-timeline Seska, now back in Cardassian form, also fires a phaser, but she's aiming it at a quickly-advancing Seven-of-Nine, who's a full Borg drone in her timeline and completely immune to Seska's phaser fire.

In "Alliances", Seska never fires a phaser at all, as much of the episode dealt with negotiations for possible peace between the Kazon, the Voyager crew and, the sworn enemies of the Kazon, the Trabe.

Answer: The Cloud

Janeway never actually uses the replicator at all in this episode, although she had wanted to use the replicator for her coffee when she enters the mess hall. Neelix, however, persuades her to try a thick coffee blend he concocted, but Janeway never drinks one sip of the oozing substance.

In "Ashes To Ashes", the pot roast that Janeway had prepared for her dinner with the restored Ensign Ballard is shrunken into a pile of mush as it materializes in the replicator. Consequently, the captain ends up serving peanut butter and jelly sandwiches instead.

In "Latent Image", the coffee Janeway orders from the replicator in the wee hours of the morning after Seven enters to talk about the Doctor's situation is lukewarm, which is not the way Janeway prefers it.

In "Relativity", the coffee Janeway orders this time when Chakotay comes to speak with her in the ready room tastes a few days old to her, which the captain believes could be as a result of the temporal anomalies that had been happening within the ship prior to Captain Braxton's deadly weapon being discovered.

Answer: Scientific Method

B'Elanna and Paris are chilling out and having a nice romantic moment to themselves in the conn officer's quarters after the mutation crises has ended. Harry shows up to hand Paris a PADD with some data that he requested, then after Paris closes the doors in Harry's face, both he and B'Elanna remove their com badges, vowing to not be disturbed by anybody else for the rest of their date.

In none of the other three episodes does the chief engineer intentionally remove her com badge. In "Future's End, Part 2", she's still wearing her com badge even after she and Chakotay are captured, bound and held hostage in the basement.

She does refuse to answer the com to her quarters initially when Chakotay stops by to visit her in "Extreme Risk". And in "Lineage", she fixes the Doctor's program so that her unborn baby girl can be genetically altered without anybody knowing, but Paris interrupts the procedure just in the nick of time and deletes the EMH once he realizes what his wife is up to.

Answer: The Fight

Chakotay's ordeal at the hands of the 'chaotic space' aliens caused him to hallucinate images and sounds from his boxing simulation on the holodeck. At one point, while he's on the bridge, he believes he sees a pair of boxing gloves at Harry's operations station.

Then when Chakotay clicks into boxing mode and throws a few punches into the air, an alert Tuvok applies the Vulcan neck pinch to subdue Voyager's first officer before someone on the bridge gets hurt. In "Flashback", Tuvok used the neck pinch on Commander Rand while onboard Captain Sulu's ship, the U.S.S. Excelsior, in order for Janeway to have a uniform that would allow her to blend in with the rest of the Excelsior crew.

However, he was in the Excelsior's mess hall and not on the Excelsior bridge when it happened.

In "Repression", Tuvok does employ the neck pinch on Chakotay again, but this time he does it after the first officer finds an unconscious B'Elanna lying on the floor in one of the cargo bays--another one of Tuvok's victims as a result of Teero's brainwashing.

In "Meld", Tuvok never does the neck pinch on anyone, but there is plenty of 'my mind to your mind, my thoughts to your thoughts' going on between him and the first and only murderer onboard Voyager, Lon Suder.

Answer: Resolutions

The cute little primate that greets a stranded Janeway and Chakotay on several occasions in this episode never accepts Janeway's outstretched hand (I wanted it to so badly!), nor ever comes close enough to allow them to make actual physical contact with it. Though I had always wondered that, if Janeway did manage to grab hold of the primate, would she have taken it back into their habitat to domesticate it? At the very least, she surely would've run all the possible scans and tests she could think of in hopes of finding a cure for the disease that got her and Chakotay stranded on the planet in the first place.

In "The Cloud", during her vision quest in the ready room at the guidance of Chakotay, Janeway picks up a strokes a lizard that she finds on a beach shore, which becomes her new animal guide.

Unfortunately, we would never see this animal guide again for the rest of the series. Nor do we ever figure out what kind of animal it was that B'Elanna killed, according to Chakotay, in her own vision quest.

In "The Q And The Grey", the Q we know and love from the "Next Generation" series tries to woo Janeway by surprising her with a cute cuddly puppy in her ready room, which Janeway picks up and holds in her arms before she realizes that it's another one of Q's tricks. In "Macrocosm", an insect-sized version of the macrovirus lifeform bites Janeway on the arm while she's trying to send the distress call on the bridge. Then later, when Janeway tries to throw the antigen bomb into the holodeck, where all of the other bigger macroviruses have gathered, another giant-sized macrovirus swoops around a corridor from behind and knocks her onto the floor. She dodges the lifeform's attempts to impale her, then when she gets back on her feet, she grabs hold of the macrovirus by one of its arms before slicing that arm off with a military knife she'd equipped herself with in engineering, then proceeds to stab it right in the center of its body to finally reduce it to a lifeless pulp.
