Question 4 of 25
4. We learn in "Equilibrium" that the Dax symbiont was once placed into an unsuitable host -- a murderer named Joran.

Hint


Question 8 of 25
8. In "Meridian," the crew comes across a planet that, like the mythical village of Brigadoon, only "exists" in the physical universe for short periods of time, and those periods are separated by relatively long intervals. How often does the planet of Meridian appear? Hint

Question 10 of 25
10. Thanks to a case of Xanshi Fever suffered by telepath Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett), a number of DS9 crewmembers are stricken with uncontrollable romantic urges, resulting in quite a few uncharacteristic and unexpected crushes all over the station. Who is NEVER affected by Lwaxana's projected emotions? Hint

Question 17 of 25
17. The "mirror universe" makes its second "DS9" appearance in "Through the Looking Glass." In this episode, one of the members of the resistance opposing the Bajoran-Cardassian-Klingon alliance turns out to be a traitor. Which "mirror" character pretended to be a faithful member of the resistance, but was actually a minion of the Bajoran Intendant (Nana Visitor)? Hint


Question 18 of 25
18. In "Distant Voices" -- which gets my vote for WORST episode of the season! -- Bashir finds himself trapped in a bizarre coma-induced scenario in which his inner psyche is represented by the (inoperative) station, and the facets of his personality are personified by familiar members of the DS9 crew. Who is the FIRST "person" Bashir encounters after he "wakes up" in this coma-induced scenario? Hint


Question 19 of 25
19. Garak's tailor shop is blown to smithereens in "Improbable Cause." Who blew it up? Hint

Question 24 of 25
24. In "Facets," Jadzia Dax asks most of her DS9 friends to participate in a ritual that will allow her to commune with her past hosts if said friends will allow their bodies to be temporarily inhabited by telepathic "echoes" of the long-dead Dax hosts. The entire Ops crew is invited, of course, but at least one arguably minor character is asked to participate, as well. Which one? Hint


Question 25 of 25
25. In "The Adversary," Benjamin Sisko is finally promoted to the rank of captain. Who actually puts the fourth "pip" onto the collar of his dress uniform at the official ceremony? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the season premiere, "The Search, Part I," Odo (Rene Auberjonois), much to his surprise, finds the homeworld of his people. Which member of the DS9 crew is with him when he makes this discovery?

Answer: Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor)

After the DEFIANT gets clobbered by the Jem'Hadar, Odo throws Kira into a shuttlepod and heads for an oddly familiar rogue planet. Kira is at his side when he is welcomed "home" by fellow shapeshifters.
2. Odo is invited by a fellow shapeshifter (Salome Jens) to stay on the rogue planet with the rest of his people. What is this shapeshifter's name?

Answer: It's never said

Oddly, Salome Jens' character has no name. The character would go on to appear sporadically throughout the last five seasons of "DS9," but always credited as simply "Female Shapeshifter."
3. A change to the status quo of the show occurs in "The House of Quark." What is it?

Answer: Keiko O'Brien's (Rosalind Chao) school closes, and she relocates to Bajor.

The DEFIANT first appears in the season premiere. Sisko doesn't shave his head until the fourth season, and Nog doesn't mention an interest in Starfleet until rather late in the third season. Keiko and Molly move to Bajor for six months at the end of this episode, causing major changes in the life of Chief O'Brien.
4. We learn in "Equilibrium" that the Dax symbiont was once placed into an unsuitable host -- a murderer named Joran. The Symbiosis Commission of Trill claims that a symbiont and an unsuitable host would prove incompatible within a few days...but the case of Joran Dax proves them wrong. How long did the Dax symbiont remain in Joran?

Answer: six months

A massive secret about Trill society is revealed in this episode...but only to Dax, Sisko, and Dr. Bashir. The population of Trill remains ignorant of the truth.
5. Kira is kidnapped and taken to Cardassia Prime in "Second Skin." Which character does NOT go there to rescue her?

Answer: Dax

The rescue mission is manned by Sisko, Odo, and Garak. No Dax in sight.
6. In "The Abandoned," Odo officially abandons (pardon the pun) his "bucket," the receptacle in which he regularly "regenerated" in the first two seasons. What happens to the bucket in this episode?

Answer: Odo uses it as a planter.

Kira brings Odo a plant as a kind of housewarming gift, and Odo puts the plant in his bucket! He no longer needs the bucket, now that he embraces his shapeshifting potential more readily and expertly.
7. In "Civil Defense," a long-dormant Cardassian counter-insurgency program is accidentally activated, putting the entire station at grave risk. Eventually, the solution is found: someone must shut down the fusion initiator in the ore processing facility. Which member of the crew actually manages to accomplish this feat and save the station?

Answer: Sisko

O'Brien comes close -- he's maybe 20 yards behind his commanding officer -- but it's Sisko who actually shuts down the reactor.
8. In "Meridian," the crew comes across a planet that, like the mythical village of Brigadoon, only "exists" in the physical universe for short periods of time, and those periods are separated by relatively long intervals. How often does the planet of Meridian appear?

Answer: every 60 years

Dax tries to join the inhabitants of Meridian, as she has fallen in love with one of their citizens...but her presence proves incompatible, and she is forced to stay behind after all. Meridian will not return for 60 years.
9. In "Defiant," we learn that Gul Dukat (Marc Alaimo) is distracted because his duty is causing him to miss the birthday party of his son, Mikor. How old is Mikor on this day?

Answer: 11

There's an oddly touching moment where Dukat and Sisko "bond" by discussing their experiences as fathers.
10. Thanks to a case of Xanshi Fever suffered by telepath Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett), a number of DS9 crewmembers are stricken with uncontrollable romantic urges, resulting in quite a few uncharacteristic and unexpected crushes all over the station. Who is NEVER affected by Lwaxana's projected emotions?

Answer: Sisko

The short version: Dax thinks she's in love with Sisko; Bashir and Kira think they're in love with each other; Vedek Bareil thinks he's in love with Dax; Jake Sisko thinks he's in love with Kira; and Quark thinks he's in love with Keiko O'Brien. Commander Sisko is never affected at all by Mrs. Troi's virus.
11. In "Past Tense, Part I," Sisko and Bashir find themselves unexpectedly trapped in Earth's past (from their 24th century perspective, of course). In what century are they trapped?

Answer: the 21st

Specifically, Sisko and Bashir have been deposited in the year 2024.
12. In what U.S. state are Sisko and Bashir trapped in "Past Tense"?

Answer: California

Sisko and Bashir were originally trying to beam down to Starfleet Command, in 24th century San Francisco, CA. The transporter accident placed them in roughly the right place, but over 350 years in the past!
13. Thanks to a tragic accident, Vedek Bareil (Philip Anglim) dies in the episode "Life Support." True or False: Major Kira has the chance to tell Bareil that she loves him before he dies.

Answer: True

Bareil probably can't HEAR it, since he spends his last few hours alive in a deep coma...but she does get to tell him that she loves him before he actually expires.
14. In the episode "Heart of Stone," we learn a thing or two (or three!) about the crewmembers that we didn't know before. Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: Keiko O'Brien is pregnant with her second child.

In this episode, Odo finally expresses his love for Kira -- even though the only person to hear him do so is a shapeshifter impersonating Kira -- and Nog asks Sisko to help him apply to Starfleet. We don't learn about Keiko's second pregnancy until season 4.
15. A familiar Ferengi character has his personality and priorities altered by the Bajoran Prophets in the cleverly-titled episode "Prophet Motive." Which one?

Answer: Grand Nagus Zek (Wallace Shawn)

After Zek passes through the wormhole, the Prophets decide that his profit-driven nature is too "aggressive," so they re-wire his entire personality! Quark eventually convinces the Prophets to undo the "damage," and Zek is back to his same, old irrepressible self by episode's end.
16. O'Brien, thanks to an unexpected radiation exposure, finds himself "jumping" into the future several times in the episode "Visionary." How far into the future does O'Brien "jump" each time, before Bashir finds a way to control the phenomenon?

Answer: five hours

O'Brien continually "finds" himself five hours in the future after each "jump." Later, Bashir finds a way to fine-tune the "jumping" and send O'Brien a mere three hours into the future...exactly once.
17. The "mirror universe" makes its second "DS9" appearance in "Through the Looking Glass." In this episode, one of the members of the resistance opposing the Bajoran-Cardassian-Klingon alliance turns out to be a traitor. Which "mirror" character pretended to be a faithful member of the resistance, but was actually a minion of the Bajoran Intendant (Nana Visitor)?

Answer: Rom

Rom was the "mole" in the resistance.
18. In "Distant Voices" -- which gets my vote for WORST episode of the season! -- Bashir finds himself trapped in a bizarre coma-induced scenario in which his inner psyche is represented by the (inoperative) station, and the facets of his personality are personified by familiar members of the DS9 crew. Who is the FIRST "person" Bashir encounters after he "wakes up" in this coma-induced scenario?

Answer: Quark

Julian finds Quark cowering behind his bar before he runs into anyone else. This episode boasts, without a doubt, the most forced, desperate script to date on the show. Even an inspired performance by Siddig El Fadil (and some excellent "old age" make-up) couldn't save this turkey. Ugh. (Somewhere, LadyMac is laughing!)
19. Garak's tailor shop is blown to smithereens in "Improbable Cause." Who blew it up?

Answer: Garak

Despite a number of red herrings, Odo eventually discovers that Garak blew up his own shop, just to get an investigation started to find out who really DID want to kill him. Devious!
20. True or False: In "The Die Is Cast," we learn that Enabran Tain is the father of Garak.

Answer: False

Nope. That little revelation, although hinted at in this episode, wouldn't be verified until MUCH later in the series.
21. We learn in "Explorers" that Jake Sisko (Cirroc Lofton) has been accepted to a prestigious school thanks to his writing ability...but said school is back on Earth. Where, exactly, is the Pennington School located?

Answer: New Zealand

Jake ends up deferring his Pennington scholarship for a year, preferring the rich life experience that DS9 can offer him as opposed to the confines of New Zealand.
22. Ishka (Andrea Martin), the mother of Quark and Rom, breaks a number of rules -- both legal and societal -- in the episode "Family Business." Which is NOT one of them?

Answer: She leaves the Ferengi homeworld.

Ferengi women are not permitted to earn profit, address strangers, or wear clothes(!). Ishka breaks all of these rules, several times over. Ferengi women are also barred from leaving Ferenginar, but Ishka never leaves the planet in this episode. (She would in later seasons, though.)
23. In "Shakaar," we learn that Furel (William Lucking), one of Major Kira's former allies in the Bajoran Resistance, lost most of a limb thanks to the bloody struggle that the Shakaar Resistance Cell put up against the Cardassians years ago. Furel is missing the majority of which limb?

Answer: his left arm

Furel is clearly shown as missing most of his left arm. Everything from the mid-humerus down is gone.
24. In "Facets," Jadzia Dax asks most of her DS9 friends to participate in a ritual that will allow her to commune with her past hosts if said friends will allow their bodies to be temporarily inhabited by telepathic "echoes" of the long-dead Dax hosts. The entire Ops crew is invited, of course, but at least one arguably minor character is asked to participate, as well. Which one?

Answer: Leeta (Chase Masterson)

Oddly, dabo girl Leeta -- who had appeared exactly ONCE before this episode -- has somehow become important enough to Jadzia to be invited to the all-important "zhian'tara" ritual. Gotta love those convenient plot leaps, hmm?
25. In "The Adversary," Benjamin Sisko is finally promoted to the rank of captain. Who actually puts the fourth "pip" onto the collar of his dress uniform at the official ceremony?

Answer: Jake Sisko

Oddly, Jake Sisko -- who is not, of course, even a member of Starfleet -- has the honor of granting Ben his fourth pip, and is the first person in the series to call his father "Captain." Sweet, but kind of weird.
