Here are the answers (not necessarily exhaustive) to the trivia
quiz I posted a few weeks back:
1. Which episodes start with someone other than Kirk giving a log entry?
A) Mr. Scott delivers the log entry at the beginning of "Wink of
an Eye"--Kirk and party are already on the planet investigating the
distress signal. (RJNoe)
B) Dr. McCoy gives the log entry at the start of "The
Enterprise Incident"--This is done to give the viewers inside
information as to Kirk's condition and not to blow his masquerade.
(I cannot recall any that were given by Spock, Roger, if
you think of any please post)
2. Which episodes end where all the credits are given with a
background scene other than an external view of the Enterprise?
(The beginning of the closing credits to be when the first
credit appears on the screen. This is usually "Produced by" but
was "Directed by" in some of the earlier episodes)
A) The Corbomite Maneuver - on Balok's vessel, interior
(linus!mat,RJNoe)
B) The Galileo Seven - Enterprise bridge, everyone laughing
(RJNoe)
C) By Any Other Name - Briefing room, Rojan surrenders
(RJNoe)
3. Which episodes end where half the credits are given as in
the question above and the other half where the Enterprise is
in the background?
A) Mudd's Women (RJNoe)
B) Court-martial (RJNoe)
C) The Tholian Web (RJNoe)
D) The Paradise Syndrome (RJNoe)
E) The City on the Edge of Forever
? F) Balance of Terror (can anyone confirm this one?)
4. Name two episodes which share a common scene and describe the scene.
A) Flint's residence in "Requiem for Methuselah" is the same
artwork as the fortress on Rigel in "The Cage" (or, equivalently,
"Menagerie"). It's your basic castle. There are other
examples of similar mattes being used in more than one episode, but none
closer than this distinctive example. (RJNoe)
B) It seems that "Wolf in the Fold" has a scene which
looks remarkably similar to a planet in "The Cage"/"The
Menagerie", a matte scene with a geodisic dome in it. (inmet!jlp)
C) I guess what I really was looking for was a scene
with some action in it, not just a still "stock shot". One such
scene (the only one which I caught so far) appears in The
Doomsday Machine and Let That Be Your Last Battlefield. The
scene is of some control panel (in the auxiliary control room in
DM and on the bridge in LTBYLB) with a close-up on a row of
toggle switches, all of which are in the same position. A hand
(Scotty's in DM, Kirk's in LTBYLB) enters the picture from the
upper right corner of the screen an pushes the last toggle
switch (the farthest one away from the viewer). I believe they
used the same footage for both of these instances. I remember
well the circumstances in DM but am a little shaky on LTBYLB.
In DM Scotty has rigged the engines of the Constellation to blow
up. He comes to Kirk in Aux. control and Kirk asks him how to do
it. Scotty engages the system (scene described above) and then
tells Kirk "Press this button (pointing to the toggle at the
other end of the row) and ...". In LTBYLB, Kirk pushes the
button (scene described above) in an attempt to get
some system to work after Beale has disrupted navigational
control.
More trivia coming up soon.

Trivia set 3
1) How many episodes can you name in which Spock falls in love?
1. "This Side of Paradise" with Lila
2. "All Our Yesterdays" with Zarabeth
3. "Enterprise Incident" with the Romulan Commander
4. "The Cloud Minders" with the President's daughter
2) How many episodes can you name in which the Enterprise moves faster
than its maximum safe speed (warp 6)?
1. "The Naked Time"
2. "Tommorrow Is Yesterday"
3. "By Any Other Name"
4. "The Changeling"
5. "That Which Survives"
6. "Arena"
3) How many episodes can you name in which the Enterprise is being
run by only a skeletal crew (less than 20 people)?
1. "Ultimate Computer"
2. "Requiem For Methusela"
4) Name the episode in which a regular dies.
Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov all 'die' but later come
back to life in some manner. Kirk was believed dead when he
was lost in inter-space; when Spock gave him the 'Vulcan death grip';
when Spock apparently killed him in "Amok Time" and when Hanech
gave Kirk's body insufficent dosage in "Return to Tommorrow". Spock
is also believed dead in "Return to Tommorrow" but as it turned
out his soul was in Chapel and his body was only injected with
a sedative. Now McCoy was really killed by the black night and
then repaired. Scotty got zapped by Nomand but then got also
repaired. (Also one of the few times McCoy looks over a body and says
the exact words "He's dead Jim.") Chekov was killed because he
believed the bullet was real or some such farce. At any rate we are
not sure how he came back to life but he did.
Now all these answers may be uneligible because no one really dies they
all come back to live. So if that is the case what is the correct
answer?scott@hou2g.UUCP (Racer X) (09/17/85)
> 1) How many episodes can you name in which Spock falls in love? > 1. "This Side of Paradise" with Lila > 2. "All Our Yesterdays" with Zarabeth > 3. "Enterprise Incident" with the Romulan Commander > 4. "The Cloud Minders" with the President's daughter I'm not so sure about #4. I think infatuation is a better term here. He also falss in "lust" with T'Pring in Amok Time. I think it's safe to say he fell in love with the "Commander" (#3). There's no question about #1 and #2. Did Spock fall in love with Chapel in "The Naked Time"? > 2) How many episodes can you name in which the Enterprise moves faster > than its maximum safe speed (warp 6)? > 1. "The Naked Time" > 2. "Tommorrow Is Yesterday" > 3. "By Any Other Name" > 4. "The Changeling" > 5. "That Which Survives" > 6. "Arena" I must also mention "Obsession" and the Gary Seven episode here. (In Gary Seven, they used the "Slingshot Effect", although it wasn't shown. It surely necessitated > W6 travel, as it did in "Tomorrow is Yesterday") Also, Nos. 3 and 4 above were not "unsafe", as the engines had been modified. > 3) How many episodes can you name in which the Enterprise is being > run by only a skeletal crew (less than 20 people)? > 1. "Ultimate Computer" > 2. "Requiem For Methusela" 3. "Day Of The Dove" 4. "By Any Other Name" 5. "I Mudd" (the androids were the "crew". I feel certain it didn't take 400 of them.) 6. Perhaps "The Paradise Syndrome" (although it's questionable the ship was being "run" by Kirk) > 4) Name the episode in which a regular dies. > Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov all 'die' but later come > back to life in some manner. Kirk was believed dead when he > was lost in inter-space; when Spock gave him the 'Vulcan death grip'; > when Spock apparently killed him in "Amok Time" and when Hanech > gave Kirk's body insufficent dosage in "Return to Tommorrow". No one really died in any of these--they were all hoaxes. > Spock > is also believed dead in "Return to Tommorrow" but as it turned > out his soul was in Chapel and his body was only injected with > a sedative. Ditto. > Now McCoy was really killed by the black night and > then repaired. This is a possible one I didn't think of. I'm not sure it was really established he died, just that his body disappeared. (However, I think he did--that makes TWO deaths; see below). > Scotty got zapped by Nomad but then got also > repaired. (Also one of the few times McCoy looks over a body and says > the exact words "He's dead Jim.") This is the answer I think Eric is looking for. Scotty really did die here. > Chekov was killed because he > believed the bullet was real or some such farce. At any rate we are > not sure how he came back to life but he did. He definitely was NOT killed. The whole EPISODE was an illusion. Chekov didn't die because he DIDN'T believe in the bullet (or the whole thing, for that matter). > Now all these answers may be uneligible because no one really dies they > all come back to live. So if that is the case what is the correct > answer? The question didn't say anything about not coming back to life, only dying. So the TWO deaths are Scotty in "The Changeling" and McCoy in "Shore Leave". [Of course, both Gary Mitchell and Elizabeth Danner die in "Where No Man Has Gone Before". Since it was the second episode filmed (after "The Cage"), they were in 50% of the episodes... :-) ] Scott J. Berry

"Requiem For Methusela" Wasn't this also true (for a short time only, granted) in "Court Martial"? I think that episode was the one called "Court Martial" and I know it was neither of the two listed. The one I mean is the one in which Spock detects computer tampering through a chess game and gets *everybody* off the Enterprise so he can trace a heartbeat or some such.... -- der Mouse {ihnp4,decvax,akgua,etc}!utcsri!mcgill-vision!mouse philabs!micomvax!musocs!mcgill-vision!mouse Hacker: One responsible for destroying / Wizard: One responsible for recovering it afterward
