Question by Daddy19

Answer: swashbuckler

This is the episode "The Naked Time" in which the crew becomes infected by a virus that makes the crew act like they are intoxicated and dangerously irrational. Sulu, shirtless, was prancing around the Enterprise with a fencing foil, which is why Spock said he was "at heart a swashbuckler." A similar situation occurred on board the Enterprise-D, in the "TNG" episode "The Naked Now."

Question by christi_dove

Answer: The Devil

This new life form was the Horta and it was just protecting its eggs when it attacked people and destroyed equipment. William Shatner has written this is his favorite episode because it was "exciting, thought-provoking and intelligent, it contained all of the ingredients that made up our very best Star Treks."*

Question by christi_dove

Answer: Spock

Nurse Chapel originally joined Starfleet in the hope that she would find her fiancé Dr. Roger Korby, who had gone missing. Even so, she expressed her love for Spock when inhibitions had been severely reduced in the episode "The Naked Time".

Question by reedy

Answer: Shran

The Andorians believed that the Vulcans were using the P'Jem monastery to spy on their homeworld. Surprisingly, it turned out they were correct. Shran did not like being in Archer's debt and had sleepless nights due to this.

Shran would help Enterprise on several occasions after their initial encounter, including on the mission to find the Xindi weapon.

Question by Daddy19

Answer: San Francisco

San Francisco is home to Starfleet Academy, and by extension, Starfleet Headquarters and the United Federation of Planets Council. San Francisco had been the administrative center for Earth matters for approximately 100 years prior to the Council voting to locate the Headquarters there.

Question by reedy

Answer: USS Stargazer

Captain Picard's history with the USS Stargazer was related in the "TNG" first-season episode "The Battle" when the Ferengi produce the Stargazer as a "gift". Picard had been forced to abandon his ship nine years earlier at the Battle of Maxia - against an unknown foe. Apparently, the foe had been Ferengi. The "gift" ends up being a trap for Picard and he is forced to relive and reenact the events of the battle through the use of a "mind sphere".

Question by reedy

Answer: Selar

Doctor Selar was often referred to, but only seen in one episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation". As well as Selar and K'Ehleyr, Suzie Plakson also played the female Q in "VOY" and the Andorian, Tarah, in "ENT".

The wrong answers were also Vulcans. Vorik worked in Voyager's engine room. Soval was the Vulcan Ambassador to Earth in "ENT" and Stonn was Spock's love rival for T'Pring's affections in "TOS"

Question by Daddy19

Answer: By playing her a recording of Klingon telling her that she would be the first human to talk to them.

Hoshi Sato is the Communications Officer on the Enterprise NX-01. She is an extremely gifted linguist who was on leave from Starfleet to teach languages in Brazil and was very reluctant to leave her position early. Archer than played a recording of Klingon and explained she would be missing out on the opportunity of a lifetime to be the first human to talk to Klingons, which did the trick of getting her to join the ship. This mission which takes part in the pilot episode "Broken Bow" is to return a Klingon who had crashed on Earth, and then shot, to his homeworld.

Her gift for languages, even non-terrestrial ones, proves invaluable when encountering new alien species because the Universal Translator was in its early stages, and wasn't always reliable.

Question by christi_dove

Answer: Seska

Originally, Seska had been assigned to infiltrate the Maquis. She developed a relationship with Chakotay and was a member of his crew when their ship was pulled into the Delta Quadrant along with the USS Voyager. Eventually, she defected to the Kazons, remaining true to her duplicitous nature.
