• The Great Trek Cryptic Quiz May 06 - 5:59 pm

As you were...

I hope people will be interested in more of these.

What do these have in common?

The Omega Glory
Assignment: Earth
Mirror, Mirror
Day of the Dove
That Which Survives

And what do these have in common?

Day of the Dove
Patterns of Force
Shore Leave
Requiem for Methuselah

And what do these have in common?

Mudd's Women
Conscience of the King


Okay, here are two hints--things spoken in dialog, and I'm thinking of the same *kind* of thing for all of those episodes.

What do these 13 episode have in common?

1. The Galileo Seven*
2. The Squire of Gothos
3. Arena
4. The Alternate Factor
5. Tomorrow is Yesterday
6. Return of the Archons
7. A Taste of Armageddon
8. Space Seed
9. This Side of Paradise
10. Devil in the Dark
11. Errand of Mercy
12. City on the Edge of Forever
13. Operation: Annihilate!

Well, I know the answer, but I cheated and used Wikipedia.

It's not "The 13 best episodes", David.

And I doubt Wikipedia knows about the similarity between these 13 episodes because Paramount doesn't even know about the similarity between these 13 episodes.

Okay, I'll put my answer in white text so as not to spoil it for others:

All the episodes are from the first season of TOS.

Let me know if I'm on the right track.

I have a guess. William Blackburn is in all of them?

It appears that in production order, these are all consecutive except for 'The Galileo Seven,' which makes me think it's something to do with the credits.

I'd have to check the nits, but if Nove's theory is right...

Is it the SCPIPT SUPERVISOR?

After all, we wouldn't want to have scpipts running around the set unsupervised!

its all in the Scpipts!!!!!!!!!!


ScottN- you get JohnA's ol hands off She's mine for the night! ,

Restarting the numbering of questions to make life easier:

40. What do these eps/movies have in common:

• The Cage(TOS)
• ST:TMP
• STIV:TVH
• Encounter at Farpoint(TNG)
• Yesterday's Enterprise(TNG)
• ST:Generations
• ST:First Contact
• Broken Bow(ENT)
• Azati Prime(ENT)

Earth appears in them. (Or a replication of it, anyway.)

- New ships premier.

- New bridges appear.

ScottN is correct!

The 13 episodes I mentioned are a part of the infamous "Scpipt Supervisor Snafu"

Sorry, "He's Dead Jim", Marina's mine.

Darn it!

Merat is correct. It is the initial appearance of each version of the Enterprise:

• The Cage(TOS) -- USS Enterprise NCC-1701
• ST:TMP -- USS Enterprise NCC-1701 (revamped)
• STIV:TVH -- NCC-1701-A
• Encounter at Farpoint(TNG) -- NCC-1701-D
• Yesterday's Enterprise(TNG) -- NCC-1701-C
• ST:Generations -- NCC-1701-B
• ST:First Contact -- NCC-1701-E
• Broken Bow(ENT) -- NX-01
• Azati Prime(ENT) -- NCC-1701-J

>What do these have in common?

>The Omega Glory
>Assignment: Earth
>Mirror, Mirror
>Day of the Dove
>That Which Survives

No stardate is given during the epsiode (add to this list The City on the Edge of Forever, A Piece of the Action and Patterns of Force).

Day of the Dove had Stardate Armegeddon?

.

Yesterdays' Enterprise had Military log I think.

41. What do these two episodes have in common?

• That Which Survives(TOS)
• All Good Things...(TNG)

41 Answer Guess. The episode title is said within the dialog.

Nope.

Addendum to 41. By Any Other Name(TOS) may also be on the list, but I'm not sure.

er, also For the World is Hollow was said by the guy who climbed, ScottN.

41 Answer Guess. Shakespeare titles? There's a lot of those, though.

Wrong to both Merat and He's Dead. Those aren't what I'm looking for.

41 Answer Guess: Events are referenced that take place over thousands of years.

Nope. The addendum should also be taken as a hint.

The titles are all sentence fragments?

Nope.

Hint: Has to do with dialog about the ship.

They exceed warp 10!

42. How many people that William Shatner play in any Trek?

Merat, I wouldnt have thought of that..warp 10!

43.Every time a major charecter dies or go away they come back for a guest spot. Who are they?

Merat is correct. Actually, I was thinking Warp 13, but same thing.

41. in tng's where no one has gone before they went to another galaxy in a few minutes!

But was the warp factor discussed? I considered that one (along with Threshold(VOY), but couldn't remember if they used Warp or some other technology).

I might be wrong, but shouldn't "The Nth Degree" get consideration here as well?

ScottN, they went to warp 5 then pushed some magical buttons then they went to M33 or somthing like that
!

In the other episodes, they just went "beyond" warp, not an actual above warp 10 number, IIRC.

42 Answer Guess: 2, James and Sam Kirk.

42.Kirk/Lester.

42. Kirk Kissing Kirk in Star trek6.

Kirk: Was I good?

#42

James T. Kirk
George S. Kirk
Sargon
Janice Lester
Garth
Martia

Probably some I've missed

Iman played Martia..

He played Kirk- driod in What are little Girls made of?
, Todd

Laforge, Shatner played Martia-as-Kirk.

Merat, mind me asking what was your first Trek you ever saw, how old, and where you at, and what got you hooked on it?

The first I remember watching was "Bread and Circuses"(TOS) when I was about 6 years old. It was around 1986. I didn't really get what was going on, but I enjoyed it. Over the years, I got into the show more. How about you?

see the first post in Your First Trek you ever saw and how old.., thanks Merat.Btw, where are ya?

By the way, Requiem For Methuselah is unique in having two digits after the decimal point in the stardate for one of the log entries. I wonder why they did that?

And the thing "Mudd's Women" and "Conscience of the King" have in common is, somebody mentions the stardate of something which happened long before the episode begins.

What do these have in common?
Amok Time
Apple
Lights of Zetar
Obession
Spectre of the Gun

Or these:

Broken Bow
Unexpected

What do these two movies have in common?

ST:TMP
STV:TFF

They both brought shame and disgrace upon the Star Trek name for generations to come?

Come on now, you musta seen that coming!

Cute, but no, that's not what I was looking for.

Boooooo!!! TMP haters begone! TFF DESERVES your hate... but don't drag a fine- if flawed- begining down into the muck with it! :-)

ScottN- they were the two original Trek films scored by Jerry Goldsmith? They both involved a freshly minted ship in need of a shakedown cruise? Both were released in theaters with incomplete special effects because the FX houses didn't know what they were doing? (Though admittedly that turned out way better for TMP than it did for TFF... :-) )

44. What do these have in common:
Star Trek: TMP
A Private Little War
The Cage
That Which Survives
Turnabout Intruder... sorta. :-)


For #43:
Tasha Yar/Sela
Kes/Kes
Seska/Seska
Yeoman Rand/Transporter Chief Rand
Jadzia Dax/Ezri Dax (the symbiote only... Terry never came back)
Spock/Spock, Scotty/Post-Changeling-Scotty, Checkov/Post-Spectre-of-the-Gun-Checkov (well, they died! ;-) )
Anyone I'm forgetting?

Close enough Zarm. They both used the same title theme.

You know, it's funny... I started to type something to the effect of "They were both scored by Jerry Goldsmith, using his Star Trek theme which later became the basis for the Next Generation theme." but I decided it was TMI and shortened it. :-)
