Star Trek Trivia Game

[MelodyL]

I just found this forum. I am a devout Trekker. We used to be called Trekkies, but I believe the term Trekker is the one that most of them want to be known by. I don't know how many of you grew up with Star Trek. But just in case anyone wishes to play a Star Trek Trivia Game, I'll start by posting a trivia question. But you can't cheat. You either know the answser, or give it a really good guess. Let's see if we can stump each other!!!

First question:

The Trouble with Tribbles: - What was the name of the grain that poisoned all the Tribbles????

Whoever gets the answer correct, has to post a new Star Trek Trivia Question.

[McGimpy]

A.Quadrotritcale

Q.What was the name of Spocks Father?

[KarenMarie]

A. Sarek

Q. the name of Spock's mother ?

[McGimpy]

A. Amanda Grayson

Q. The actor who played Spocks father

[KarenMarie]

[McGimpy]

Sorry...:(

[the Bird]

A. Amanda Grayson

Q. The actor who played Spocks father

McGimpy, that's a HARD one!!!!

Why don't you give us the answer and and NEW question (little easier on the brain!)

[McGimpy]

OK
A. Mark Lenard (played spocks father)

Q. What was Dr. McCoys nickname?:o

[MelodyL]

Bones (short for Sawbones (they used to call doctors on pirate ships Sawbones" so bones is short for Sawbones, and that's why Kirk always called him Bones.

Okay, new question: What was the card came that Kirk played with Krakow and Oxmix. The episode was entitled PIECE OF THE ACTION. The card game they played was ................??

This is a good one.

[MelodyL]

Okay, the answer is FIZZBIN!!! Maybe that one was a bit hard!!

Here's a better one!!!

What is the name of the race that is an offshoot of the Vulcans???

[McGimpy]

A.Romulans(spelling?)

Q.Who invented the warp drive?

[MelodyL]

A.Romulans(spelling?)

Q.Who invented the warp drive?

ZEPHRAM COCHRAN

Okay, here's a new one!!!

What was the name of the Klingon on the bridge, in Star Trek Generations? (The one where Captain Picard was in charge.)

[PolarExpress]

Do you mean Warf?

[MelodyL]

hahahahaha WORF!!!!! not WARF!!!

But close enough.

Next question.

What was the name of Worf's son (raised by Worf's adoptive parents on earth) until he came to live on the ship with Worf???

[McGimpy]

A. Alexander

Q. Scottys first name

[the Bird]

LOL Ok I'm not a good trekie!

I'll just read these from now on!!

[MelodyL]

Montgomery (took me all of one second to remember that one), I'm glad I'm not a dead trekkie, trekker, whatever!!!!! lol . And do you know that no one in the history of Star Trek ever called him Montgomery!!!

Now, here's a good one.

Spock landed on a planet that was supposed to be being helped by the landing party from years back. Only that landing party, (well something happened to them), and walked around in La La Land!!!

There was a beatiful woman (played by Jill Ireland).

What was her name in that episode, and WHY DID THEY ACT LIKE THEY WERE IN LA LA LAND??. And Spock so completely changed that he hung from a tree in that episode.

Okay, get crackin!!

[McGimpy]

I can't remember the girls name but
i think it was spores from some kind of flower that made them loopy

[MelodyL]

Go girl!!!! SPORES!!!

Oh, by the way, her name was Leyla, or Laila, (spelling, never knew how they spelled it). I'm pretty sure that was her name.

Gonna go check it out. If I'm wrong, hit me with a wet noodle.

Be back later,and update right here.

Wow, that was fast. They spelled it LEILA!!!

Ya can't tell me I don't know my Star Trek!!!!!!

When I used to work (back 20 to 30 years ago), they used to have trivia contests and bet on them for money, then they would come to me for the answers. They never allowed me to play. lol

[McGimpy]

Q. James T. Kirk,what does the T stand for:)

[PolarExpress]

Tiberious (or however it's spelled)..~~

[MelodyL]

Tiberius. (OH, JUST REALIZED THAT POLAR EXPRESS BEAT ME TO IT.).

Polar Express: You now have to post a Star Trek Question!!!


Now....what was Kirks wife's name. (he only had one wife, maybe not legally, but to HER people, well they were wed).

And what happened to her?? And what did she call him throughout that episode?? One of my favorites by the way.

[McGimpy]

Ok my best guess, Kirk's wife i know it started with an M,like Mary or something:confused:
and i think she died,as for kirks name ?:confused::(:o

[MelodyL]

Okay, the episode started with Kirk standing by an Obelisk. He opened his communicator and said "Kirk to Enterprise", the bottom portion of the Obelisk opened and he went into the Obelisk. He was caught in a memory erasing beam. He staggered out of the Obelisk and a girl named MIRAMANEE approached him.(I have no idea if this is correct spelling) I'm doing all this from memory.

Because Kirk's memory was erased, (he had glimpses in his mind), he thought his name was KUROK. So that's what everybody called him. They thought he was a God because he walked out of what they called the Sacred something or other.

It actually was an asteroid deflecting beam thingee.

So at the end of the episode, a rival medicine man started the stoning of Kirk and Miramanee (who was pregnant by the way). She died.

So this is the only time in Star Trek history that Kirk got married (morally anyway).

See why people would make bets and call me up???

You should have seen my son watching me one day and I was saying the dialogue while the Tribble Episode was on. It was like 35 years since it aired. He said to me "How do you do that"??? I have no idea. I just a great long term memory for dialogue. Very bad short term, but my long term is just fine.


Will think of some more good questions.

And if you can think of some, pop right on in.
Take care,

Mel

[McGimpy]

Q. Captain Kirk had a brother, what was his name?

[MelodyL]

Ah, good old George.

This was the episode with the flying creatures that attached themselves to your back and only some kind of light weapon could kill them. Kirk landed on the planet and his brother, the brother's wife, and the kid were there. I think the kid survived.

How'd I do???

[McGimpy]

You're right on everything but the brothers name, I think it was Sam(i think)

[MelodyL]

His name was George SAMUEL Kirk, but he called him Sam.

See, we're both right.

Okay, here's a good one!!!

France Nuyen played a warrior kind of princess (The Dolman of Elaas),who was promised to an enemy in marriage. She wanted no part of it and she had an affair with Kirk. Seems anyone who is touched by the tears of a woman from her planet, well they lose all control over themselves (remember this episode???)

There was a guy (he played Caligula in one of those old Rome pictures with Victor Mature), anyway, this actor played a kind of ambassador from the enemy planet who had to train Fance Nuyen to be a proper Queen when she married the King of that planet.

He kept referring to her (THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EPISODE) by a specific phrase. I never forgot what he called her.

Do you remember??

[McGimpy]

You're good. come on someone 's got to know this one:)

[MelodyL]

I can't believe it's just you and me playing STAR TREK!!!! lol

By the way, the answer is

He called her YOUR GLORY, and when he was referring to her, he said 'HER GLORY".

Remember??

Now it's your turn.

Think of a good one.

And believe me, I don't look anything up. If I don't know the answer, I'll own up to it.

[McGimpy]

If i remember right there was only one actor that played a Vulcan,Romulan and Klingon can you name the actor ?

[MelodyL]

No Sweat!!!

He played the Romulan guy first, the episode was about a battle between the enterprise and the first Romulans they ever saw. And at the end of that episode, the defeated Romulan commander looks into the camera and says something like "I could have even called you friend". Never forgot that episode.

Don't know which came next, either Sarek, (spocks daddy), or the Klingon character.

But the answer is ....DRUM ROLL.

Mark Leonard

--------------------------------------

Here's a good one for ya!!!

In the original Star Trek Pilot Episode, who played the captain. His real name and the character's name!!!

[McGimpy]

I think the answer is,Jeffrey Hunter who played Captain Christopher Pike
How'd i do?

[MelodyL]

http://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/y.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/o.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/u.gifhttp://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/empty.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/d.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/i.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/d.gifhttp://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/empty.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/g.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/r.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/e.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/a.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/t.gif (http://glitter-graphics.com/myspace/text_generator.php)

Now it's your turn. Think of something really hard. You can go even go and google Star Trek Trivia, and give me a hard one.

I don't know actual names of episodes or their air dates. I'm not THAT kind of Trekkie, the kind that goes to all the conventions and dress like Vulcans and Klingons and greet each other with KAPLAAA, (the Klingon Salute).

I never have gone to a convention. Always wanted to, and I'm sorry I never did. I'd feel absolutely stupid now to do this, but I do enjoy remembering the stuff.

So think away and when you get a good one, post it, okay??

[McGimpy]

Q. What class of starship is the original USS Enterprise?

[MelodyL]

AAAAGGGHH!!!!! you got me.

I had to look it up.

I googled it and it says Galaxy Class Starship was the Enterprise D.

Is this the one you are referring to??

You got me good!!

[McGimpy]

Close,that's from the next generation
looking enterprise from original star trek
A. Constitution class

Your turn:)

[MelodyL]

Okay, I can imagine the episode in my mind as I type this.

They all beamed down to a planet where one's wishes come true. It's like a great big playground. This is where Dr. McCoy saw the white rabbit.

Now James Kirk met up with an old friend from his days at the academy!!!

What was his name??

[McGimpy]

I liked that one,I think his name was Finnigan?(don't know about the spelling):)

[MelodyL]

http://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/f.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/i.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/n.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/n.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/i.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/g.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/a.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/crl/n.gif (http://glitter-graphics.com/myspace/text_generator.php)

I am extremely impressed!!!
Woo - hoo --your turn.

[McGimpy]

Ok,The Original USS Enterprise had a set of letters and numbers on top
what were they?

[MelodyL]

http://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/n.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/o.gifhttp://dl3.glitter-graphics.net/empty.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/i.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/d.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/e.gifhttp://text.glitter-graphics.net/mushrooms/a.gif (http://glitter-graphics.com/myspace/text_generator.php)

I'm hysterical. I drew a complete blank.

I don't know episode numbers, names of episodes (well, I do know some, but not too many. AND I HAVE NO IDEA THE NUMBER OF THE ENTERPRISE!!!!! lol

[McGimpy]

I'm sorry:( Ithink maybe i ask weird questions.
The answer is NCC-1701

Your turn

[MelodyL]

Okay, here's a good one.

Mr. Spock actually had a brother (a half brother, whose mother was a Vulcan Princess).

What was Spock's brother's name and who played him.

Get your thinking cap on!!!!

[McGimpy]

:DI remember the names are there,i just can't get them:(:)

[MelodyL]

SYBOK, played by Lawrence Luckinbill

your turn!!!!

[McGimpy]

That was a good one.
William T. Riker(next generation)what does the T. stand for?

[MelodyL]

Thomas

Okay, my turn.

In the original Star Trek series, there was an episode featuring Zephran Cochran (played by Glenn Corbett).

He was stranded on this planet and this cloudy misty kind of creature became his friend.

This cloudy misty kind of creature was referred to as ???????????????????

and here's a bonus. At the end of the episode, the misty creature went into the body of a female guest star in this particular episode.

Who played the guest star?? If you get this right, you remember Father's Knows Best starring Robert Young.

Oh, I don't even know if you are from the United States.

[McGimpy]

Elinor Donahue,was also on the odd couple

[MelodyL]

Aha. you didn't say what they called the cloudy misty thing.

THE COMPANION!!!!!!

[PolarExpress]

OK..I hope this isn't too vague..
What was the name of the time portal that sent Spock, Kirk, and I believe Dr McCoy to the planets Ice Age?

[MelodyL]

They met a guy named Mrs. Atos, who sent them through something called The Atavachron. This is how Spock met Zarabeth who wore fur skins and who brought out the BEAST in Spock.

There's another episode of a portal being used. IN that one the portal is called The Guardian of Forever.

This is the episode starring Joan Collins as Edith Keeler. She (had she lived) would have changed history, so that's why Kirk and Spock just stood there while Edith Keeler diedl (a great episode by the way.

So first portal was The Atavachron, (and the second one was The Guardian of Forever).

Now here's my question to you.

Kirk and Spock went to a planet that had another city in the clouds.

Spock was attracted to the daughter of the head of this planet. A beautiful VERY THING young woman. They talked about science.
What was her name?? Upon introduction, she said "I've never met a Vulcan, and he looked at her and said "Nor I a work of art".

Never forgot that one!!!!!

[PolarExpress]

I think her name was Droxine, or something like that..Sounds medicinal..:D
The question I asked was about the Atavachron (although Guardian of Forever would've been close)..What actress played Zarabeth?

[MelodyL]

Mariette Hartley

I'm watching American Idol right now.

I'll be back later and give you a good one!!!

[MelodyL]

Okay, here you go!!!

What was the name of Spock's betrothed?? They were joined as children.

And what was the name of the guy she actually wanted to marry?? She chose Kirk to be her champion because she knew he wouldn't keep her and she'd have the other guy anyway.

The name of this episode was Amok Time. I must have seen this one a million times.

[PolarExpress]

OK..That was one of my faves..T'Pring was his "wife's" name..I'm not sure how to spell the guy's name, but I'll take a stab at it ~ S'Ton??

I gotta go beddy-bye, but I'll leave you with one more:
What was the very last episode of Star Trek about? (hint: hell hath no fury..) Night night! :Zzzz:

[MelodyL]

Excellent. I always referred to him as STAN, but you are most likely correct in the way you spelled it because Vulcans spell everything with a T, TPau, Tpring, T this and T tht. So good job.

Now as to the last episode of Star Trek. This one was my favorite of all the episodes in the 3 seasons.

Turnabout Intruder.

Dr. Janice Lester, a scientist (with an assistant who is in love with her), she was the only woman denied a Starship command because SHE WAS A WOMAN.

So what does she do?? The switches minds with Captain Kirk.

OF course everybody now thinks she's nuts and puts her in the brig, until Spock mind melds with her.

But the acting of William Shatner, as he was using an emory board and filing his nails, and he puts his hand on the shoulder of the other guy (the one who actually was in love with Janice Lester), well that was one piece of acting, let me tell you.

And I remember the scene with Scotty and the others in the hall, saying "that's when we move against them, that's when we take over the ship".

Then "Captain Kirk" orders General Order 24 or some number thing, and orders everybody put to death and they all stand down and they arrest them all.

Then for some reason, Spock is walking with Janice Lester (who is actually James T Kirk), and by the end of the episode, the mind is switched back.

Then the assistant holds Janice Lester in his arms promising to care for her the rest of her life, and he tells her "You are as I've loved you".

Never forgot that one. I loved the actress who played Janice Lester (can't think of her name). She sat on that chair like a man, she moved her body like a man (I mean, why woudn't she, she was indeed Kirk inhabiting her body).

What a great ending to a great show.


Okay, here's yours.

There was an episode with a young man, played by Robert Walker Jr. He was an orphan and he escaped and he had the mind power to DO ANYTHING HE WANTED TO DO. He drove everybody nuts.

What was his name?

[McGimpy]

Does this count? Charlie was his name can't recall his last name.

Question: Who wrote the theme song to Star Trek?(original)

[McGimpy]

Alexander Courage wrote the song:o

[MelodyL]

Well, you beat me to it. I never knew who wrote the song.

I will not be able to be playing these games because Alan had his operation today, and we just got home from the hospital today.

I'm absolutely exhausted. The hardest part of the whole day was getting him out of the hospital and to the Access-a-ride on crutches. The man does not know how to use crutches.

Then getting him off of the access a ride and up to our front door.

Oh my god. I thought he would fall on me.

Now he's in the wheelchair and i just went and filled his prescription and bought home steamed chicken and veggies.

I am absolutely exhausted.

I will go over the Neuropathy board and post his update because that is the main forum I go on. Then, only once in a while until he's back on his feet.

We have no family and every thing is on ME!!!!

Oh well. That's what happens when you get married. You take care of each other. He does appreciate me (most of the time). lol

You take care.

See you soon and hopefully others will come and play this game.

[McGimpy]

Sending good thoughts and hope things get better:)

[McGimpy]

Q. In the fourth Star Trek movie,the crew went back in time to look for something.
What were they looking for?

[KarenMarie]

Spock ???????

[PolarExpress]

Humpback Whales..(am I thinking of the right one? :o)...

What "Batman" TV star played a part in a Star Trek episode? *Hint: he was 1/2 black, 1/2 white..


I hope everything goes smoothly so you can com back soon, Melody ~ We'll miss you~

[McGimpy]

I had to think for awhile,but the answer is Frank Gorshin

Q. what is the name of the bartender on Star Trek:deep space nine?:)

[McGimpy]

[McGimpy]

Ok here goes,Captain Kirk had a Son what was his name?

Hello:

Just wanted to pop in for five minutes and play.

David Marcus (son of Carol Marcus) who developed the Genesis project.

David got killed by some nasty klingons when he was kneeling down next to that female vulcan (what the heck was her name??). First Kirstey Alley played her then another actress played her. Can't remember the character's name. Oh god, I'm getting senile!!! It had to begin with the letter T, because every female vulcan that I know starts with the letter T. AARRRRGGHHH!!!

P.S. Alan is doing fine and we go back to hospital tomorrow morning to find out how the heck the operation went.

[McGimpy]

Savik was her name,don't know about the spelling
Hope things go well tomorrow:)

Which Star Trek Movie did William Shatner Direct?

[MelodyL]

Hi, Alan did just fine.

I'm posting today's experience over at Social Chat, where you will LAUGH YOUR BUTT OFF!!!

And I have no idea which one he directed.

God, I thought I was GOOD!!!

lol

[McGimpy]

A.Star Trek V,can't remember the whole title

Q. In the original Star Trek who played number 1?

[MelodyL]

Ah, are you talking about the pilot with Jeffrey Hunter.

Maybe it was Majel Barrett??

See, I don't want to cheat and look it up. No fun that way.

I either remember it or I lose!!! lol

[McGimpy]

You WIN:)

Your question please:)

[MelodyL]

Really???? I was right?? Wow, my memory didn't fail me, did it?? lol


oKay, here's my question:

And this is a good one. I hope you watched Star Trek the Next Generation (if not, just tell me and we'll stick to OST, (Original Star Trek).

Counselor Deanna Troi had a love affair with Wil Riker.

She had an affectionate name that she said to him a few times during a love scene. She took his face in her hands and called him .....?????

They even wrote two Star Trek Novels by this name.

Great novels by the way.

Do you know???

[McGimpy]

I give up,I just can't remember the name:o:)

[MelodyL]

IMZADI

It means BELOVED!!!

Okay, your turn!!!

[McGimpy]

True or False:actor James Doohan(Scotty)is from Scotland

[MelodyL]

False. He's from Canada.

Okay, my turn.


In the original series, this particular episode concerned a bunch of children who did not acknowledge the fact that all their parents were dead.

They worshipped a friendly Angel, named Gorgon.

A very famous attorney played this role. (He is in fact the only attorney ever to appear on Star Trek). I never forgot this episode.

Do you know who played Gorgon, the friendly Angel???

[McGimpy]

Ok you got me again. I remember that one because the little girl did the voice
of Lucy on some of the first Peanuts cartoons,but i can't remember the lawyer:o

[PolarExpress]

I can picture him clearly, the only name that comes to mind though is F Lee Baily..

[MelodyL]

HAHAHAHAHAH

The answer is : MELVIN BELLI (also known as GORGON, the friendly angel).

Your turn!!!

[McGimpy]

Ok in the original Star Trek one crew member seemed to have crush on Mr. Spock,Who was She?

[MelodyL]

Nurse Chappel, played by Majel Barrett (Gene Rodenberry's wife)

She even made Spock his favorite soup once.

My turn:

What was Commander Data's twin brother's name??

Hint. He was the first android that Dr. Noonian Singh made!! The prototype

[McGimpy]

Very good, Lore was his name,loved it when those two got together.

Q.Data had a daughter,what was her name?

[MelodyL]

Lal. A pretty thing with dark brown hair (kind of like a page boy haircut).I an see her in my mind right now. I remember, as she was dying, Data was replacing the data chips in her head and he moved so fast, like lightening.

Good episode.

Okay, my turn.


Deanna Troi's mother, Lwaxanna, always said a certain phrase after she announced her name. She wanted to impress people.

What did she say?

[McGimpy]

I'm at a loss:( I do not remember

[MelodyL]

Every time she introduced herself in ANY episode, this is what she always said:

"Lwaxana Troi, Daughter of the Fifth House, Holder of the Sacred Chalice of Rixx, Heir to the Holy Rings of Betazed".

Told you I'm good!!!! (nah, I just remember anything to do with any Star Trek Episode).

your turn!!!

[McGimpy]

Ok,On Star Trek(TNG)When Riker first met Data,He(Data)was trying to whistle
a tune what was the tune?

[MelodyL]

POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!!

Okay, here's a good one.

In one or two episodes, Picard went down back to earth to the Starfleet academy, and met up with the groundskeeper (who was like a mentor to him), when he first joined the academy.

This role was played by a very well known actor.

What was the actor's name and what was the character he played??

This is a good one. If you get this, you really DO know your Star Trek.

[McGimpy]

You win again,All i get is a big blank:(

[McGimpy]

hello is there anybody out there:D

[MelodyL]

HI. I've been so busy writing about my steam mop, (see social chat), that I forgot all about Star Trek.

But I just watched a good Star Trek film from 2005. Star Trek Nemesis.

Okay, What was the name of the Android (that looked like Data), that they found (in pieces), in this particular movie???

[McGimpy]

I watched that one about 2 months ago
I think the answer is B4:o

[MelodyL]

GOOD JOB,

Your turn.

[McGimpy]

What is the name of Captain Picards brother?

[MelodyL]

I remember the episode. There was a young boy involved. He wanted to join the stars like his famous uncle but the kid's father wanted him to go into the wine business or something like that.

Picard's brother (well his last name was Picard, riight? lol).

This is a wild guess but was it Jean???

IF I'm wrong, hit me with a wet noodle.

[mrsD]

Robert... pronounced RoBear

now this... what is Picard's nephew's name?

[MelodyL]

You're all killing me.

I have no idea. Let me venture a french guess!!

Philippe, or Jean Paul??

I'm dead, I know!!! lol

[McGimpy]

Rene is the name(don't about the spelling)

[MelodyL]

Okay, my turn!!!

Wil Wheaton's character Wesley, was ultimately taken away by a mentor who literally appeared in and out of no where and could change time and make it stand still.

What did they call this character?

[McGimpy]

My best guess is,the time traveler:o

[MelodyL]

Very close.

He was called TRAVELER!!!

Your turn.

[McGimpy]

what is Lt. Uhura's first name?

[MelodyL]

Ah, this is a most interesting question.

Many people think that Nyota is her first name.

Gene Roddenberry made it abundently clear that William Shatner mispronounced one of his lines, and he never called her Nyota.

So, according to Gene Roddenberry, Uhura has no first name. But according to everybody else who watches Star Trek, her first name is Nyota.



Okay, my turn.

And it's a doozy.

Walter Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov on Star Trek, is actually (in real life), the father of an actor who was on a certain comedy show.

The character's name was Boner.

What was the name of the show that Walter Koenig's son was on. It ran for MANY YEARS.

Bet you don't know this one!!!

[McGimpy]

First,great question.Second i haven't stopped laughing since i read the question:D
You'd think with a name like boner i'd remember,it's on the tip of my tongue:oyou got me.

[MelodyL]

GROWING PAINS!!!

His last name was Stabone on that show. And he was Kirk Cameron's friend on that show.

Oh, an interesting piece of Trivia on Kirk Cameron. He was named after Captain James T. Kirk because his parents LOVED Star Trek.

He and his wife have 6 children. 4 adopted, 2 bio.

Nice family.

Your turn......

[McGimpy]

Alexander Siddig,played Dr. Bashir on Star Trek:DS9
He also has a famous uncle that played an evil dude in one of the Star Trek movies,Can you name the uncle and his character?

[MelodyL]

Yeah, good old Dr. Bashir (who married Kira in real life).

They change changed his name (after he was on awhile). His real name was something like Siddig Al Fazir (but they americanized it to) Alexander Siddig.

Now let me think. I can only think it might be F. Murray Abraham (I'm probably way off base), but he's the only guy I can think of.

I know I'm wrong. I don't want to cheat and look it up, so my best guess is F. Murray Abraham.

Shoot me now!! lol

[McGimpy]

It was Malcolm McDowell,he played Dr. Soran in Star Trek:Generations
your turn

[MelodyL]

Wait a minute:

Malcolm McDowell is Siddig's uncle???

I HAVE GOT TO GO AND READ UP ON THIS.

Thanks much.

[McGimpy]

Ok,here's one.
Q. William Shatner was born in Germany (true or false):winky:

[MelodyL]

Well, I thought he was born in Canada!!!!

His character is from Iowa, I think. He mentioned this in the film with the Whales.

But William Shatner, where was he born?? hm. I say Canada.

Am I right or wrong.

See, I told you I don't cheat. No fun in that.

[McGimpy]

You are Right:)

[MelodyL]

AHA!!! Haven't lost my touch have I??

Okay, my turn

AND IT'S A DOOZY.


Spock's father, Sarek was originally married to a Vulcan Princess (her name was never mentioned), but that's how Sybok was conceived.

Then he married Amanda Grayson. After she died......... he married again (to another Human Being). He liked human wives compared to Vulcan wives. He said this to Picard.

What was the name of Sarek's 3rd wife.

Hint.. This was the episode where Sarek was found to have a disease (known only to Vulcans) and toward the end of their life cycles, their emotions came full circle.


TOLD YOU THIS WAS A DOOZY!!!! lol

[McGimpy]

I know this one,just can't remember her name:o

[MelodyL]

Let's see,In Star Trek III who played the klingon villian?

[MelodyL]

Ah!!! too easy.

This is my favorite film in the series.

Christopher Lloyd played Kruge and the beautiful Klingon that he blew out of the sky was Valkris. I loved it when he realizes that she has seen the tape on Genesis and he said to her: "you viewed it, and she said: Yes, most interesting, (or some such dialogue), and then he goes 'too bad" And she goes; "understood".

Then she said something else and she called him "My Lord and My Love"

Greatest movie in the series.

They are doing another Star Trek film, coming out in 2009 I believe. It's all about the Starfleet academy and the guy who plays the young Spock is absolutely fantastic. And Leonard Nimoy will play him too. He's 77 now. Good for him.

I don't know if it's my turn but here goes.
It's a strange one but does have to do with Star Trek

Mark Lenard who played Spock's father was also in another tv show
called Here Come The Brides.
One of Lenard's co-stars from that show also played a character in the original Star Trek. Can you name the Actor and the character he played.
(it's one of my favorites)

[MelodyL]

Hah!!!! I'm better than you think.

Actually there were 2 characters from Here Come the Brides who showed up in Star Trek.

The one you are thinking of is David Soul, right?? in Star Trek, he played the guy in the episode about VOL, and everybody wore white makeup on their faces and Keith Andes (who married Vera Miles), he was the leader who had to placate VOL.

The OTHER actor was Robert Brown, and he played in a Star Trek Episode where he had some kind of space craft but he was stuck in some kind of a time dimension and he had a fight with Captain Kirk.

Do you remember that one???

[McGimpy]

Very good i forgot about David Soul.
But i was thinking of the one with Robert Brown,He played Lazarus
your turn :)

[McGimpy]

Ok,It's the only one i could think of.
Who wrote the episode, City on the edge of Forever?

[MelodyL]

Ah, the one with Joan Collins as Edith Keeler and McCoy who goes nuts.

Answer: Harlon Ellison

I guess it's my turn now??


Want to know something?? i can't think of any more questions. lol


If you do though, feel free.

I just got my juicer today (look in Social chat) I put a thread about it.

With a video I made.

I juice in the a.m. and I wanted a more modern one.

O.K. I have a St Trivia question.

What real life explorer was Gene Roddenberry's inspiration??

[MelodyL]

Marco Polo?????

Actually, I have no idea, this is just a guess. See, I told you I don't cheat!!

Gene Roddenberry spent a lot of time in the South Pacific and earned medals for his successful bombing missions. After he came back is when he started working on the Star Trek Pilot.

I don't think this was just a coincindence: Captain, James T. Kirk and Captain James Cook, sound very much alike. And James Cook DID boldly go where no other man went:



Captain James Cook FRS RN (27 October 1728 (O.S.) – 14 February 1779) was a British explorer, navigator and cartographer, ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook was the first to map Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand.

[MelodyL]

Wow, James Cook!!! Never knew that fact in my whole life.

I now know one more piece of trivia that I didn't know about Star Trek.

Thanks so much.

Take care,

Melody
