Star Trek III: The Search for Trivia

[Rabrrrrrr]

No one else is starting, so I hope I am not presumptuous in offering this thread.

We all know the Enterprise was destroyed in ST III, directed by Nimoy, but which director has the credit for blowing up the Enterprise the most?

[Kamika]

1. you mean totally destroyed?

or?

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. I'm talking, EXPLOSIVE, UTTER DESTRUCTION

the big KABOOM!

(though it's definitely not from the latest series, since I've not seen any, and I don't know if the Enterprise gets blown up)

[Kamika]

4. didnt that only happen twice?

hmm?

[LastKnight]

3. my guess would be David Carsons, director of ST:Generations...

messed up 2 different enterprises in this one... including completely downing the D

-LK

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. No, that's not it.

But it involves TNG, the shows and movies

[coloradodem2005]

6. Johnathan Frakes

In Cause and Effect, the Enterprise was blown up 4 times.

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Yep = ding ding!

What I like so much about that episode is that the opening teaser is only about 30 seconds long, if that, and it's just "red alert", some panicky stuff, then KABOOM! And straight to opening title.

And every explosion is different - so it was a different model every time, too.

Now, ask a question!

[Terwilliger]

8. LOVED Cause and Effect

I'll have to watch that tonight!

[coloradodem2005]

9. Question.

In an episode of TNG, an Enterprise from the past came forward in time, and seriously altered history.

What was the name of the captain of the Enterprise C?

What race of beings were we at war with in this timeline?

[Terwilliger]

10. Rachel Garret

second answer is hazy....Romulans attacked a Klingon outpost and Garret answered the distress call

Edit: second answer is Klingons

[coloradodem2005]

11. Ding Ding=yes on 1st one.

You are close on the second one.

[Terwilliger]

Q: In Cardassian hierarchy, what is the direct subordinate of a Gul called

? :shrug:

[Endangered Specie]

15. ohh darn... Legate

[LastKnight]

16. Glinn?

i donno mabye it was a first name but i remember somone serving under Gul Dukat being called that.

-LK

[Endangered Specie]

18. I thought glinn was above? I remember 'Legate Damar" under gul dukat

[LastKnight]

19. Glinn is *A* subordanate of gul, but i donno if it is the direct

something from the official site.

"...Cardassian officer who rose through the ranks from glinn to legate to martyr. Starting out as Gul Dukat's right-hand man on the freighter Groumall in 2372..."

im assuiming that since glinn was the rank this particular officer started at and he was the righthand man to a Gul that that is the direct subordanate, but i could be wrong, and by the way im talking about Damar too.


-LK

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Here you go - it's Glinn

http://www.tangofleet.org/ranks/ranks7.htm

Don't know if it's canonical, but found the same listing elsewhere. Though of course, on the web, they might have all been copying from one person.l

[Endangered Specie]

26. k, Last Knight, your question I guess.

Bring em on

[Terwilliger]

I figured it was the direct subordinate...from "The Wounded"

When the Cardassian introduced his associates as "Glinn"s

[Terwilliger]

23. Legate is higher up...like the Legate who came to DS9 to warn Sisko

[Endangered Specie]

24. Rats, has anyone got the answer?

[Rabrrrrrr]

37. Legate is a governmental official

And is not a military rank, according to that page I referenced.

[Endangered Specie]

13. Romulans (4 warbirds to be exact)... Im back

[Rabrrrrrr]

17. Were we actually at war with the Klingons?

My memory is thinking that we weren't, but things were abso-definitely very tense. The point of sending the C back was in order to show that we were willing to help defned the klingons, which, if we were at war, I don't think we'd have cared about it.

Though of course, after the C alters the timeline, the present day (for Picard) Federation is at war with the Klingons. So if that was the actual question, then yeah, war with Klingons.

And why do I say "we" when talking of the Federation? Wishful thinking? :-)

[Terwilliger]

30. After the time change took effect, the battles that the Warship Enterprise

had, were with Klingons

[Rabrrrrrr]

35. OK

I see I misread the question - it was explicitly asked about the current timeline, not the ent-C's timeline.

oops!

Thanks!

[LastKnight]

12. just a note, when starting a new question, can we reply to original thread

otherwise it gets messy. please, my eyes are kinda bad... lol sorry to be bothersome about it.

-LK

[Endangered Specie]

14. good idea, whose got next ? ?

[Kamika]

20. terw I think

topic

[Endangered Specie]

21. yeah, who got it right? its the cardassian hierarchy one above.

[Rabrrrrrr]

22. I think we're waiting on a ruling

still

someone check the star trek cardassian military heirarchy archives...

[Terwilliger]

38. heh...Glinn is what I was looking for...I was imprecise :-)

[LastKnight]

27. Q: what is the name of the drug the Vorta used to keep the Jem'hadar...

...under thier control?

probably an easy one but i cant think of anything hard right now...

-LK

[Kamika]

29. Tetracel white

or something like that

[LastKnight]

32. ketracel-white... your question

im not gonna be picky down to the letter.

-LK

[Terwilliger]

39. ketra...tetra...we're all friends!

;-)

[LastKnight]

41. i said i wasnt gonna be picky!

that and i thought it was tetracell-white myself... that is before i looked it up to make sure.

:D

-LK

[Endangered Specie]

42. but we are trekkers, aka we are picky... BTW.. wheres the next ? Kamika?

[Rabrrrrrr]

No, I'm a Trekkie

But you can be a trekker!

[Kamika]

40. OK thinking up one

hmm

[baldguy]

33. Tetracell white

I don't know how to spell it, tho.

[LastKnight]

34. kamika beat you by less than a minute nt

[pansypoo53219]

28. OT but star trek related

in one of the original series show with that triad slave gladiator episode, the figters were thralls.
I got a 1903 encyclopedia britanica and in the 7 page entry on Family(i started with the F-F? one-got 3 free at estate sale) in Roman times the slaves were called slaves. so wh on the writing staff was a ancient history major?

[Endangered Specie]

31. I couldnt name a writer for 1000 bars of gpl...

on edit: its kamikas turn I think

[LastKnight]

36. deleted

irrelevant

-LK

[Kamika]

43. OK OK

WHICH episode is by fans believed to be the WORST modern era episode

HINT: Its on season 5 of DS9


edit: I'm not sure if it has been beaten yet by some ENT episode . would be hard though..

edit2: Season5 of ds9 is by alot of ppl considered to be the BEST tre season EVER of every series.. so you can imagine the qualityof the other episodes

[Endangered Specie]

44. let he who is without sin

on edit: I kinda like it though, those guys reminded me of ashcroft loonies.

[Kamika]

50. yup

Your question

[Kamika]

52. I must admit ...

that episode is so horrible.. you have to see it just to see the excuse why Bashir and Leeta is on reeza

[LastKnight]

45. the one where Quark Goes back in time AND to Area 51?

the name escapes me at the moment.

-LK

[Endangered Specie]

46. not season 5

[LastKnight]

49. i cant keep my seasons straight. but you gotta admit.

that was a bad episode. i cant stand the quark character

-LK

[Kamika]

54. I actually liked it

It had its good points

[Rabrrrrrr]

56. Quark is some Berman abomination made up to help "sell" the show

with idiotic lunacy, like Jar Jar Binks and Neelix.

None of them have function except to serve as the sort of tired cliches that a larger swatch of TV viewerdom expect in their shows.

I hated Quark the first I saw him, and still do. And I was ever so violently offended when they started that crappy little "Rules of Acquisition" BS.

Ridiculous.

Ask me sometime how I really feel, but right now I'm holding back....

[arcane1]

82. I don't know, I dug Quark

hated his name, but I thought Armin did a great job with him. He gave a little speech once about Ferengi being better than Hu-mons, despite our constant claims to the contrary, that I thought was really good

[Rabrrrrrr]

89. He was definitely acted very well -

but that character is nothing more than a Jar Jar Binks equivalent, and I felt that the first time he showed up in TNG.

[arcane1]

99. lol, I felt that way about Jake & Nog

one thing that the DS9 writers were great at, is giving all the characters at least one good episode each. Even Nog! :)

[Kamika]

128. dude no offence

But you cant really have an opinion of the characters in ds9 unless you seen it all.. they evolve extremely

[arcane1]

47. Trials and Tribble-ations?

the canon police tend to frown on that one, from what I've seen

[Endangered Specie]

48. Actually, that one is considered a favorite I think

[LastKnight]

51. i liked that one...

how cant you like tribbles...

-LK

[Kamika]

55. Thats one of the best ever

As I wrote the rest of season 5 was Superb.. Trials .. is one of the best episodes ever

[Endangered Specie]

57. seconding that

[arcane1]

78. how about the one where the Runabout gets made really small?

I've seen that one nit-picked to death, too...

[baldguy]

58. I liked that one too!

[Rabrrrrrr]

62. That's one of the few later ones I saw! Loved it!!

"That's a Klingon? What happened to your heads?"

[Kamika]

125. That episode had nothing to do with ds9 though

It was just a "fun" episode since it was the 30th anniversery or something. Voyager did a anniversery episode too with Sulu

[Terwilliger]

64. ah hah!

back to the homestead?

[arcane1]

80. for the moment, anyway

we'll see if I still feel like driving after a few minutes :evilgrin:

:yourock:

[Terwilliger]

70. so...which are you talking about?

Season 5 DS9 doesn't sound right

[Kamika]

122. The first post was correct

topic

[Endangered Specie]

53. ok, hmmm the next question is...

name the 4 known denominations of ferengi gold pressed latinum; In order of increasing value

[Kamika]

59. lol

cmon..

[Endangered Specie]

61. they have been mentioned several times

[Terwilliger]

60. slips strips bars

errrr.....4?

[Endangered Specie]

63. one more, introduced in season 7

[Rabrrrrrr]

66. A Limbaugh

must be the biggest denomination

[Terwilliger]

69. ummm...

slips, strips, bars is all I remember

[LastKnight]

65. you spend too much time at the dabo tables....

i think thats the name of the roullette type games they are always playing in DS9

-LK

[Endangered Specie]

68. heh, actually, too much time watching startrek (if their is such a thing)

[Kamika]

72. You hang at the UGO boards?

For trek?

[Endangered Specie]

73. never heard of them, I get it just by watching.. please explain UGO boards

[Kamika]

84. check my yahoo profile and follow the link

I hang there aswell

[arcane1]

91. cool, you have a Trek BBS link, too

I don't think I've ever posted there, but I lurk inthe Trek Art threads daily.. there is some serious talent going on in there!!

[Kamika]

108. Thats the one I meant

[arcane1]

132. gold is in there somewhere...
