 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Galaxy Quest
Guy Fleegman. Laliari also joined the cast of the new series as Jane Doe.
"Young Laredo, how you've grown!". His character had been a small boy in the original series.
Looking down the front of Tawney Madison's uniform. Guess he'd read Gwen DeMarco/Tawney Madison's "TV Guide" interview. She complained about how it had only dealt "... with my boobs and how they fit into my uniform."
| When Sarris forced Jason/Commander Taggart to explain the meaning of being a TV series and not reality, what did Jason tell Mathasar about the NSEA Protector? | "Galaxy Quest" for Questarians
|
All of these (The beryllium sphere was only wire and plaster, The ship was a tiny model, The digital conveyor was made of Christmas lights). When he heard that about the ship, Mathasar said, "But inside I have seen many rooms!" He refused to accept that the series was fiction and Commander Taggart and the crew only actors.
"By Grabthar's Hammer, you shall be avenged!". But he said it willingly later on in the movie (and you're just going to have to rent it again to find out when and how).
| When Sarris' soldiers marched them away to be released into space, how did Jason and Alexander turn the tables on their captors? | "Galaxy Quest" for Questarians
|
By faking an argument. Jason clued Alexander into the trick by telling him, "You’re starting to act like you did in Episode 17," and calling him a "scene-stealing hack." They fought convincingly enough to maneuver the surprised soldiers into the cargo bay and release THEM into space, where they went SPLAT! like bugs against the window of Sarris' ship.
| What were Sarris' soldiers doing when Fred/Tech. Sgt. Chen digitally conveyed the rock monster, Gorignak, into their midst? | "Galaxy Quest" for Questarians
|
Gambling and smoking. Wonderful bit of detail. Anybody else notice that Sarris' soldiers bear a suspicious resemblance to Ernie Kovacs' Nairobi Trio?
Kyle, Hollister, and a girl who never spoke. Brandon had accidentally picked up Jason's interstellar vox instead of his own when he knocked him down in the garage at Tech Value Superstore. Kyle and Hollister had the utility tunnel system mapped so Brandon could give clear directions to Gwen and Jason. So far as I have been able to find out, the blonde girl who never spoke was played by Kaitlyn Cullum.
Octopi. The Thermians couldn't quite get human postures right and tended to hold their hands the way dogs hold their paws while standing on their hind legs. Without their voice translators, they spoke in shrill screeches and seal-like barks.
The death of Quillek. Quillek frankly worshiped Dane's character, Dr. Lazarus, and told him: "I am so very humbled to stand in your presence... I have studied your missions extensively... Though I am Thermian, I have lived my life by your philosophy, by the code of the Mak'tar." He was shot by one of Sarris' soldiers. As he lay dying, Quillek told Dr. Lazarus, "You’ll forgive my impertinence, sir, but even though we never before met, I always considered you as a father to me." That did it: Alexander Dane finally understood the importance a TV character could have to his fans.
| What was the main difference between Jason Nesmith/Commander Taggart's first appearance at the movie's first "Galaxy Quest" convention and his second at the end of the movie? | "Galaxy Quest" for Questarians
|
He had the whole cast join him in bowing to the audience. Out of all the crowd, he found and saluted Brandon and his crew who had guided them back to Earth. Oh, yeah, and he kissed Gwen Demarco and half the girls in the audience fainted.
9 minutes. A surprising amount of action takes place in the first two minutes of the countdown. Very good action, too. 13 seconds was the amount of time the Omega 13 weapon could send you back into the past.
Opening Tech Value Superstore. Alexander Dane had a great line: "By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings!"
| What was Fred Kwan doing during most of the movie, other than being the one cast member who wasn't fazed by their adventure? | "Galaxy Quest" for Questarians
|
Snacking. He even came up with a packet of peanuts to eat on the shuttle! The "tugging on his costume" is from an old joke about the Star Trek TNG series: "Why do the characters on Star Trek keep tugging on their uniforms?" "They do it to taunt you."
NSEA Protector. The name of the ship was the NSEA Protector. NSEA is a reference to the "Star Trek" means of ship numbering, "NCC-1701", etc. Notice how it can be pronounced "N - Sea (C)".
Gwen. This is a nod to the long-suffering Lt. Uhura on "Star Trek", whose most frequent line is "Hailing frequencies open, Sir".
It was turned inside out, then exploded.. Just like in "Star Trek", the transporters never seem to work right when they're needed.
Tommy. Too bad real broken arms can't be healed as quickly.
Fred. Unflappable Fred Kwan (Tony Shaloub) makes this comment after arriving on board the ship via the transporter device.
1982. The two-parter was apparently a big cliff-hanger. It ends with Commander Taggart activating the Omega 13. The television show never did say what the Omega 13 device did.
Lieutenant. Late in the film, Gwen and Jason (Tim Allen) are having to climb through ductwork in the ship in order to reach the self-destruct mechanism. She moans, "Why is it always ducts?"--a reference to Sigourney Weaver's character of Ripley in the "Alien" movies.
It is a matter rearranger which affects a 13 second jump to the past.. Jason activates the Omega 13 in order to stop Sarris from attacking them on the command deck.
| When Gwen tells Jason," It was cute when I didn't know you", what was the color of the three ladies hair who were giggling? | Galaxy Quest
|
Two blondes and a brunette. If you watch the background, three women in Tawny Madison uniforms are laughing at Jason. The brunette is to the left, and the two blondes are directly behind him.
| In the scene when Gwen is talking to Alexander on the phone after the convention, what color robe is Gwen wearing? | Galaxy Quest
|
red. Her robe is a beautiful red color, with flowers on it. You have to see it to describe it.
| The Thermians take Jason up to the ship in a California limousine. What is the license plate of the limo? | Galaxy Quest
|
3WQP722. They show a close-up of the limousine before it's lifted into space, showing the license plate for about 3 or 4 seconds.
| When the limo is being lifted into space, a dog runs out and barks at the limo. What color was the dog? | Galaxy Quest
|
None of the these. The dog is actually black and white and looks like a mixture of a collie, and Australian shepherd.
| When Jason comes to tell the rest of the "crew" about being up in space at the opening of Tech Value Superstore, what is Fred eating? | Galaxy Quest
|
chips. If you watch carefully, there's a scene where Fred lifts a potato chip to his mouth from the bag, while Jason is speaking.
| When the crew pile into the van after blowing Jason off, a man walks by the background. What tone of skin does he have, and what is he wearing? | Galaxy Quest
|
black skin and glasses. In the background, a man walks by reading something, with glasses on, in the right corner of the van. You have to watch or you won't notice him.
| At the end of the movie (at the second convention), when Jason kisses Gwen, a teenage girl in the audience faints. What was on her t-shirt? | Galaxy Quest
|
A picture of Commander Taggart. When her friends bend to pick her up, you can see a glimpse of Commander Taggart on their t-shirts.
| At the second convention, when Jason has himself and the crew bow, what order are they in from left to right? (If you were in the audience.) | Galaxy Quest
|
Guy, Tommy, Jason, Gwen, Alexander, Fred, Laliari. They show a quick picture of them in that order, and you have too have seen it a lot to memorize the order.
