You Name the Episode! Trivia Quiz

Answer: "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky"

This was an episode from Star Trek's third and final season. Viewers learned a little bit more about Dr. McCoy, including more about his daughter, Joanna, who McCoy left behind on Earth. It focuses more on McCoy and his usual gruff exterior. In the end, Natira realizes that McCoy's place is with his people (usually the storyline for Kirk) and the Oracle contains the cure to McCoy's disease.

Answer: "The Apple"

"Vaal" ends up being a computer (which is the storyline for quite a few episodes) and Kirk takes it upon himself to destroy "Vaal" and let the people of "Gamma Trianguli VI" think and fend for themselves. This seems to be in violation of the Prime Directive, as he interferes in this culture without giving the people a choice.

The "apple" symbolizes the forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve ate which banished humanity from the "Garden of Eden."

Answer: "Tomorrow is Yesterday"

Several "Star Trek" episodes dealt with time travel. This was a first season episode and the first one where they discovered that a "slingshot effect" around the sun could jettison them forward through time. They resolve their problem by first going backwards and transporting the Captain as well as a guard that accidentally got beamed up back to Earth before they encountered the Enterprise. Scotty gets the crew home.

This was originally supposed to be the second of a two-part series of which "The Naked Time" was the first part.

However, they were re-written and each episode stood alone.

Answer: "Mudd's Women"

This was one of two episodes featuring Harry Mudd. It turns out that the miners found out Mudd was tricking them and ended up giving the dilithium crystals to the Enterprise. In the end, Kirk gives one of the women a placebo and she becomes beautiful again, proving that beauty can come from inside as well as outside.

In actuality, the term "dilithium" was not yet used by Gene Roddenberry and they were referred to as "lithium" crystals. It was changed shortly after as "dilithium" sounded more futuristic.

Answer: "Errand of Mercy"

This is a very intriguing episode as the Organians are a highly advanced people and actually have given up their physical bodies and exist solely as energy. They appear to the "primitive" races of Earthlings and Klingons as a humble group of people because that is how they were expected to appear. In the end, they stop the war and teach both the Federation and the Klingon Empire a lesson in humility. They also ask everyone to leave as the very presence of negative emotions, such as violence and hatred is harmful and distasteful to the Organians.

Answer: "The Tholian Web"

The section of space that the Enterprise is in has an effect on the emotions of the crew and turns them hostile towards each other. In addition, the Tholians create a giant web around the Enterprise after Spock does not heed their wishes to evacuate in an attempt to save Captain Kirk.

He was seen floating as a ghost-like presence by members of the crew. They finally synchronize the time that the two universes will meet again, beam him aboard before his oxygen runs out, and escape the web. This was a good episode for the relationship between Spock and Dr. McCoy as they watch the videotape of Kirk's final orders.

Answer: "Whom Gods Destroy"

In this episode, Scotty is left in charge of the Enterprise and will only beam his Captain and Spock aboard if they know a secret code, which is a chess move. "Garth" assumes both the shape of Spock and Kirk in order to trick both, but his attempts fail, as they know each other too well. They end up administering a new drug that does rehabilitate the inmates.

Answer: "Spectre of the Gun"

This episode is surrealistic and even though Chekov dies, Spock figures out that nothing that is unreal can harm them. They refuse to open fire on the Earps and Doc Holiday and the Melkotians become convinced of the Enterprise's peaceful intentions.

Answer: "Bread and Circuses"

Captain Merik, formerly of the S.S. Beagle had violated the Prime Directive and brought advanced technology to this culture. This is a common theme in may Star Trek episodes. He took the role of "First Citizen" and beamed his crew down to the surface.

The planet was in its 20th century with Rome never having fallen. The "sun worshipers", who were Roman slaves in hiding, turned out to be on a parallel with early Christians as the "sun" was the "Son of God".

Answer: "Journey to Babel"

We get to see both the human and Vulcan side of Spock as his father shows his disapproval for Spock's decision to enter Starfleet instead of a science academy on Vulcan. The murder is a "Tellarite" named Gav and the chief suspect is Sarek, Spock's father. A spy stabs Kirk and Spock has command of the ship when he finds out that his father will die without a blood transfusion and he is the only person aboard that can save his life.
