"Star Trek: TNG" Scenes from Season 1 Quiz

Answer: "Heart of Glory"

The two prisoners are Klingon officers who had gone AWOL in order to pursue a life of "honorable" combat. One of the pieces for the weapon was taken from the boot of their dead comrade. They use the weapon to escape the brig, though only one of them makes it out alive.

Answer: "Hide and Q"

Q gives Riker omnipotent powers, but Picard advises him to resist the urge to use those powers in order to maintain his humanity. While Riker does indeed refuse to restore the dead girl to life, this event pushes him over the edge and convinces him that he should embrace those powers.

Answer: "11001001"

The Bynars, a race of creatures who've become interlinked with a powerful computer on their home world, come on board the ship to upgrade its computer. They plan to steal the ship, but first they lure Riker into the Holodeck using the sophisticated image of a woman exactly tailored to his preferences. Riker plays a trombone to win her affections, and after Picard drops by as well, they end up being the only two people remaining on the hijacked ship.

Answer: "The Arsenal of Freedom"

That "friend" is an artificial recreation of Captain Rice, created by a powerful computer that is also responsible for the weapon systems attacking the away team on the planet, as well as the Enterprise in orbit. This fake Captain Rice attempts to pump Riker for information that would help the computer in its attacks.

Answer: "The Big Goodbye"

Although this episode is primarily about the Holodeck, the framing story involves Picard having to deliver a precise message to an alien race in their own language, at a precise time. This becomes a problem when he gets trapped inside the Holodeck, and Riker has to stall for time.

Answer: "The Battle"

The titular battle actually occurred years ago, aboard Picard's old ship, the Stargazer. However, he is now repeatedly hallucinating the final events from that battle, where he had to order the Stargazer to be abandoned. This is all the work of the dastardly Ferengi, who have yet to turn into the designated comic relief race of the show's later seasons and spin-offs.

Answer: "Where No One Has Gone Before"

A conversation between Picard and his mother wouldn't be a notable event if she hadn't been dead for several years. In this episode, the Enterprise is flung to the edge of the universe, where apparently reality and thought are practically interchangeable, enabling such an event to occur at all.

Answer: "Justice"

Wesley Crusher manages to get himself sentenced to death on a planet with only a single law. It also turns out that the law is protected by powerful beings who watch over that world, and prevent Picard from rescuing Wesley. Picard eventually gives a speech about how all laws must be bendable, simultaneously justifying his own transgression against the Prime Directive.

Answer: "The Neutral Zone"

When three humans from the 1980's are found in a cryogenic satellite adrift in deep space, they are brought on the Enterprise and revived. One of them is a country singer, who spends most of his time talking about parties, drugs, and women. He befriends Data, who later replicates a classic guitar for him. Strangely, while this plot is going on, a second plot deals with a much more important issue: Contact with the Romulans for the first time in decades.

Answer: "Haven"

The gems are a dowry for Deanna Troi's arranged marriage to a human she had barely met before. This is also the first appearance of Lwaxana Troi, her mother, who comes aboard mainly to behave insufferably. The wedding, however, fails to take place when the groom discovers that he was actually longing for someone else, forcing the issue.

Answer: "Angel One"

The away team is down on a planet run by a matriarchy, attempting to locate the crew of a downed Federation ship. In the meanwhile, a deadly disease breaks out on the Enterprise (and fails to kill anybody), infecting everyone but Data, who at one point ends up being completely alone on the bridge.

Answer: "Conspiracy"

That person is Admiral Quinn, a fairly old man, who has been taken over by a strange and malicious creature. This gives him enough strength to actually defeat Worf, but not enough to withstand three prolonged phaser bursts to the chest - on "kill" setting!

Answer: "The Naked Now"

In this episode, everyone on the Enterprise is drunk - in homage to (and continuation of) the "Star Trek" Original Series episode "The Naked Time". Geordi gets infected with the drunken disease first, which he passes on to Tasha, who then goes sex-crazed and eventually even manages to get Data in the sack.

This is the first of several season 1 episodes where Wesley saves the day at the end.

Answer: "When the Bough Breaks"

Wesley and some other bright children from the Enterprise are kidnapped down to a planet, where the locals have become sterile and hope that these children will provide them with some sort of posterity. Wesley uses the local maintenance computer, the "Custodian", to locate the other children and attempt to convene a meeting to discuss their escape.

Answer: Datalore

In this episode we discover not only how Data was made and how he was found by Starfleet, but also that he is not the only android of his kind. Unfortunately, the other android turns out to be his evil brother Lore, who attempts to betray the Enterprise to a hungry space creature, and uses the aforementioned on/off switch to neutralize Data.

This won't be the last member of Data's family we'll get to see in later episodes, though.
