Name That Episode #26 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Persistence Of Vision

A tricky one right off the bat! In "Persistence Of Vision", the first time Janeway checks into sickbay to get examined by the Doctor as a result of her stress, she sees an image of the little girl named Beatrice from her holonovel. The Doctor can't see the girl, but when Kes enters the room and sees the girl herself, the Ocampan puts on a momentary psycho-kinetic display that forces the image of the girl to rush into Janeway's body while the captain is resting on a bio-bed. "Cathexis" did air prior to "Persistence Of Vision" in the show's first season, but Kes didn't move any objects in this episode; she only sensed the alien presence jumping from person to person on the ship.

In "Cold Fire", Kes would put on her second psycho-kinetic display of the series when the Ocampan man named Tanis instructs her on how to enhance her powers, moving a metal cup across a table in the mess hall with a nearby Neelix witnessing the shocking performance. Of course, this episode aired AFTER "Persistence Of Vision" and, thus, cannot qualify as the correct answer. With her enhanced Ocampan powers in "The Gift", presumably as a result of her contact with Species 8472 in the "Scorpion" two-parter, Kes uses her psycho-kinetic abilities once again, this time to retrieve a medical instrument from a shelf while she and the Doctor are analyzing an unconscious newly-severed-from-the-collective Seven-Of-Nine in sickbay.

This fourth-season episode, however, also aired later than "Persistence Of Vision", and thus cannot quality as the correct answer either.

Answer: Author, Author

This one's a bit tricky also! When the Doctor creates a holonovel based upon his experiences onboard the fictional 'U.S.S. Federation Starship Vortex', he exaggerates the personalities, as well as the cosmetic appearances, of all of the Voyager crewmembers he's included in his latest stroke of literary artistry.

When it's the real B'Elanna's chance to play the role of the oppressed EMH, she encounters a holographic version of herself in the Vortex's engineering, appearing all human with no tanned Klingon make-up or familiar forehead ridges to be seen.

In "The Killing Game, Part 2", although B'Elanna was pregnant and had been unknowingly forced to play the dual role of Paris's distant lover and the Nazi general's girlfriend while secretly working with Neelix, Janeway and the other members of the French Resistance, all of her Klingon make-up and forehead ridges remained intact for the duration of the simulation.

In "Lineage", both the younger version of B'Elanna in her flashbacks and the grown-up present-day version of the chief engineer are seen with the familiar Klingon make-up and forehead ridges. Only the holographic representations of her unborn baby girl are seen without Klingon make-up and forehead ridges, as B'Elanna is making adjustments to the infant's DNA structure on the holodeck before secretly downloading the procedure into the Doctor's program.

Then in "Pathfinder", the holographic representation of B'Elanna created by our beloved Reginald Barclay is seen with the familiar Klingon make-up and forehead ridges during the entire episode; the only thing different about her appearance-wise is her original Maquis attire we saw her in all the way back in "Caretaker".

Answer: Live Fast And Prosper

In the humorous moment when Voyager's real chief of security confronts the scheming alien con artist posing as him in the underground cavern, Tuvok shines his SIMS beacon in the alien's face to momentarily distract him, giving Tuvok the edge to blast him with a phaser shot.

In "Phage", Tuvok does encounter the Vidiians while in the shifting caverns with Chakotay during their search for Neelix's extracted lungs, but he never shines a light in any of the Vidiians' faces nor stuns them with a phaser shot.

In "Rise", Tuvok does point a phaser at the Nezu woman who holds Neelix at knife point when they first enter inside the carriage of the tether with the other Nezu scientists, but he never stuns her nor any of the other Nezu with a phaser shot.

Then in "Gravity", although Tuvok does successfully stun one of the alien mercenaries attempting to break through the force field barrier near the end of the episode, he doesn't have to use any shining bright lights as a distraction in order to do so.

Answer: Q2

Annoyed that the Talaxian is talking too much for his liking while playing around with the destruction of alien ships in astrometrics, we see that the omnipotent alien's brat of a son has completely fused Neelix's lips together by the time Voyager's morale officer is seen again in sickbay, unable to speak a word while the Doctor voices his concerns to the captain.

In "Jetrel", Neelix becoming temporarily mute isn't something that happens while the Haakonian scientist responsible for the deaths of countless Talaxians is onboard the ship.

The same holds true for both "Riddles" and "Cold Fire"; he does take personal care of a temporarily mentally-disabled Tuvok in the former while he's temporarily thrown back against a wall and injured in the mess hall at the hands of the Ocampan man named Tanis in the latter, but becoming temporarily mute doesn't ever occur in these episodes either.

Answer: Scientific Method

When it's the first officer's turn to get experimented on in his quarters by the out-of-phase aliens who've turned Voyager into one huge Petri dish, he heads to the sink in his lavatory where, upon looking in the mirror, realizes that he's starting to lose his hair.

The next time we see Chakotay, he's in sickbay under the concerned watchful eye of the Doctor, appearing completely bald with a slightly deformed fleshy appearance to his face and skin. In "The Fight", Chakotay's haircut does appear to be trimmed much lower than normal, but he's never bald--whether on the holodeck during his boxing simulations, during his vision quests or while in sickbay under the Doctor's care.

In "Shattered", even with all of his jumps back and forth between the various time fractures, he never becomes bald during the whole temporal adventure.

Then in "Resolutions", nothing happens with Chakotay's hair at all, even though in this episode (as well as the other episodes of Voyager's first two seasons), he does show a few shades of gray from time to time.

Answer: Time And Again

This was the first episode of the series where the infamous twins called the Delaney sisters are mentioned by Paris. At both the very beginning and the very end of the episode, Voyager's trusty conn officer is trying to persuade Harry to go on a double date with him, but Harry is determined to finish a diagnostic he's running at his operations post.

The second instance of this scene (following the events of Janeway restoring the timeline back to the present before the polaric energy explosion on the alien planet occurred) shows Paris physically pulling the reluctant young ensign away from his post while heading off to the turbolift together, although we wouldn't ever actually see the two men with the Delaney sisters...not until much later in the series, when they're participating in one of the Captain Proton stories on the holodeck in the fifth-season episode "Thirty Days".

In "Revulsion", Harry shows determination of a different kind when he attempts to get more than friendly with a newly-severed-from-the-Borg-collective Seven-Of-Nine.

Besides that, there's nobody physically pulling him away from working with Seven nor from anywhere else on Voyager in order to indulge in a more enjoyable activity. In "Timeless", the only entertaining activity of significance is the celebration in engineering following the construction of Voyager's new quantum slipstream drive, but Harry isn't pulled away from any kind of ship operations in order to attend this special event. Then in "The Q And The Grey", Harry is on the holodeck with his buddy Paris taking part in Neelix's Paxau Resort program (the only form of entertainment he enjoys in this episode), but he doesn't have to be yanked away from his usual post in order to indulge in his romantic fantasies this time around.

Answer: Body And Soul

New York-style cheesecake: that's what Seven orders from the Delta Flyer's replicator once she and the Lokirrim captain are alone together in order to prove that the technology is of no tactical risk or danger to the aliens. The Doctor's program, of course, had been downloaded into Seven's body, allowing the Doctor to experience the feelings, emotions and desires of a normal flesh and blood Human being.

But in the process of his frivolous explorations in cuisine and dining, Seven temporarily becomes sick, lashing out at the Doctor for violating her body when she's taken back to the cell where they, along with a confused Harry Kim, are being held prisoner.

In "Natural Law", we do see Seven in the company of the young Ventu girl while she's attempting to rendezvous with an injured Chakotay, the alien starting a fire and sharing a piece of some unknown native delicacy with the ex-Borg drone as a show of friendship.

However, even though the Ventu had eventually led her and Chakotay to the location of the wrecked shuttlecraft, the food given to Seven surely wasn't created via the use of the shuttle's replicator technology. Seven isn't seen eating anything at all during the entire "Workforce" two-parter nor during "Child's Play".

Answer: Blood Fever

This one's kinda tricky! In an attempt to ease Ensign Vorik's burning libido, thanks to him undergoing the Vulcan pon farr, the Doctor creates a holographic Vulcan female for Vorik to sink his teeth into on the holodeck. Unfortunately, the attempt fails, as Vorik eventually leaves Voyager and heads down to the surface of the Sakari homeworld to engage in ritual combat with a mutually pon farr-infected B'Elanna.

In "Someone To Watch Over Me", the Doctor does create a holodeck program: the quaint French establishment called 'Chez Sandrine', which is the intimate setting for Seven's date with Lieutenant Chapman.

But none of the holographic characters inside the cozy re-created establishment interact with her, Chapman nor the Doctor, who are the only three members of Voyager's crew present for the romantic occasion.

In "Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy", the Doctor does NOT create any holographic programs at all; everything is conjured up in his imagination as he programs himself to have the ability to daydream just like Humans do.

Instead, it's B'Elanna, Harry and Seven who re-create the Doctor's daydreams on the holodeck, which they, along with Janeway, get to observe in person, though without actually interacting with any of the holodeck characters. Then in "Lifesigns", the Doctor does create the holographic representation of the Vidiian woman, Dr. Denara Pel, but it is intended for him to interact with her from the moment she's rescued and brought into sickbay to be under the Doctor's care.

Answer: Basics, Part 1

In a starling, tense moment in the show's second-season cliffhanger, the Kazon have successfully boarded Voyager and taken over the bridge, Maje Culluh entering shortly afterwards to confront the ship's captain and her defeated crew. When Janeway starts to speak to him, the Kazon-Nistrim leader strikes Janeway in the face, knocking her onto the floor, but not without Chakotay and the rest of the loyal bridge crew helping their captain back onto her feet to stand and face the Maje again.

The sixth-season premiere of "Equinox, Part 2" kicks off with Janeway having been knocked onto the floor by one of the nucleogenic aliens that had invaded the bridge through the fissures in the ceiling, but this time, an unscathed Janeway is able to get back onto her feet under her own power.

In "Scorpion, Part 2", the only time Janeway is knocked off her feet is while she's onboard the Borg cube with Tuvok. The weapons fire from the Species 8472 bio-ship blasts a panel in the interior of the cube near where Janeway was working, shortly before she, Tuvok and the surviving drones are all transported off the cube and safely into Voyager's cargo bay.

Then in "The Killing Game, Part 2", Janeway is never knocked off her feet at all; she's only shot in the leg by the bullet fired by the Hirogen hunter's gun while trying to disable the neural implants in sickbay, but is still able to limp away through the corridors without having to be physically assisted.

Answer: Caretaker

And now a tricky one to close out this quiz! Remembering that the Doctor did not yet have free mobility of the ship in Voyager's first season, "Caretaker" showed Voyager's EMH confined to appearances in sickbay, which the other eight characters did NOT all occupy at the same time at any moment during the series pilot.

In the Doctor's first appearance, he's been activated after the displacement wave has just brought Voyager in proximity to the Caretaker's array; Paris and Kim are the only two characters present.

In the Doctor's next appearance, Kes has been rescued from the Kazon by a daring Neelix and quickly recovering in sickbay. This time, however, Harry and B'Elanna are the ones who aren't present as they are both being kept for observation by the doctors inside the Ocampan's underground hospital.

In the touching and final scene of the pilot, Janeway, Tuvok, Harry, and Paris, plus B'Elanna and Chakotay (without their Maquis attire), as well as Neelix and Kes, are all present for the captain's motivational speech about the unknown journey that lies ahead for them in the Delta Quadrant.

The Doctor is the only character played by a regular cast member who is absent from this scene. So now let's look at the other three episodes where all nine members of the regular cast ARE present in the same place onboard Voyager. In "Year Of Hell, Part 1", the astrometrics lab becomes the topic of the Doctor's motivational speech to his fellow senior officers, everyone being present inside the lab for the poetic occasion: Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, Paris, Harry, B'Elanna, Neelix, Seven and the Doctor himself. At the end of "Future's End, Part 2", the crew is celebrating with drinks in the mess hall following their adventures back to 1996 Earth. Again, all nine of the characters played by the regular cast are present for the occasion, including Neelix and Kes, plus the Doctor himself, thanks to his newly-acquired twenty-ninth century mobile emitter. Then in "Before And After", after Kes is brought back into temporal sync with the rest of the crew, all nine of the characters are once again together, this time on the holodeck in Neelix's Paxau Resort program, celebrating the occasion with glasses of champagne.
