Name That Episode #3 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Captain's Holiday

Even with all of the hospitality being offered on Risa during Picard's getaway from the Enterprise, there is nobody playing a musical instrument of any kind. Only a game of hoverball, plus the game of Picard, Vash, the Ferengi named Joval and the aliens from the future called the Vorgons trying to locate the artifact, are being played in this episode.

In "Ménage À Troi", an alien in Ten Forward is playing an instrument, which looks like various bells suspended from an overhead bar, as part of the festivities during the Enterprise's trek at Betazed.

In "Elementary, Dear Data", when Geordi and his android friend first enter the holodeck to partake in the Sherlock Holmes program, Data picks up a violin (which is among the various other vintage objects in Sherlock's study) and plays a few overtures for Gerodi, who plays the role of his trusty assistant, Dr. Watson.

In "The Masterpiece Society", there's an outdoor evening scene where one of the genetically engineered human boys on the planet is playing a song on the grand piano to entertain the other guests who have gathered in the common area.

Answer: Encounter At Farpoint

This is a tricky one! When Riker comes on board the Enterprise to get newly acquainted with the crew, he finds Data on the holodeck in an outdoor environment, the android explaining to the ship's new first officer that he goes there in order to feel what it's like to be human.

While walking through the woods, Data picks up a rock and throws it, the rock bouncing off the invisible wall and proving to Riker that they've reached the outer edge of the holodeck area. In "Ship In A Bottle", it's true that Data throws an object into the air while inside a holodeck program: he throws his com badge towards the holographic warp core in the holographic engineering to prove to Picard that they're both trapped inside a holodeck program created by the holographic Moriarity, NOT to prove that they've reached the boundary of the hologrid.

In "Hollow Pursuits", neither the real Data nor the imagined Data that appears in Barclay's various holodeck fantasies throws any objects against the hologrid wall, and nor is Data throwing any objects at all during the brief moments he's visiting Dr. Sigmund Freud on the holodeck in "Phantasms".

Answer: Ménage À Troi

Wesley misses his departure from Betazed to take an oral exam for his entry into Starfleet Academy, determined to help the Enterprise locate Riker, Counselor Troi and Lwaxana Troi. Afterwards, he enters Picard's ready room, where the captain, after some thought, formally promotes him from acting ensign to full ensign, the proud son of Dr. Crusher boasting a fresh red Starfleet uniform when he enters the bridge at the end of the episode.

In "Yesterday's Enterprise", it's true that the futuristic Wesley on board the battleship Enterprise did carry the rank of ensign, but that only occurred due to the events created by the temporal rift and NOT because Picard formally gave that rank to him.

There is nobody being promoted to a higher rank in neither "The Most Toys" nor "The High Ground".

Answer: Disaster

While Dr. Crusher and Geordi are trapped in the cargo bay, a plasma fire erupts, which not only emits dangerous radiation into the room, but slowly ignites the chemicals housed in the containers stacked around the bay. The pair manages to first push all of the containers to another part of the room to reduce their exposure to the radiation.

When Geordi depressurizes the cargo bay, both the containers and the plasma fire itself are sucked into outer space. Unfortunately, at the same time, he and Crusher begin losing consciousness. Geordi falls flat onto the floor, but the doctor is able to re-pressurize the cargo bay via a computer panel on a far wall before she too falls to the floor and loses consciousness herself. Dr. Crusher doesn't handle any kind of toxic material nor expose herself to anything toxic in the air in any of the other three episodes.

Answer: The Vengeance Factor

When Riker figures out that the alien woman named Yuta is planning to kill Chorgan, the new leader of the Gatherers, he transports over to the Gatherers' ship, where he promptly phasers one of the Gatherers before confronting Yuta. He warns her not to approach Chorgan, but Yuta still refuses to cooperate, getting phasered by Riker twice, then ultimately vaporized by a third and final shot when she insists on moving closer.

In "The Dauphin", neither of the two shape-shifters who take the form of the fearsome monsters (that was some pretty scary stuff!) are ever shot by a crewmember's phaser fire, even when Talia's protector and Worf are entangled in the physical struggle in sickbay.

In "The Wounded", although Captain Maxwell destroys (and in essence, vaporizes) several of the Cardassian supply ships, nobody from the Enterprise crew itself is responsible for any of the destruction.

In "Skin Of Evil", the entity named Armus does get fired upon by phasers after it kills Yar, but it's immune to all of their weapons...except for Picard provoking it, which causes the energy field around it to be lowered long enough for Troi and the rest of the away team to be beamed safely away from the planet.

Answer: Up The Long Ladder

This one's also quite tricky! Although he usually performs the Klingon tea ceremony with another Klingon, Worf kindly asks Dr. Pulaski, who had never performed the ceremony, to participate in it with him as his way of gratitude for curing him of the childhood sickness he'd been diagnosed with.

In "Elementary, Dear Data", Pulaski does get invited to participate in the Sherlock Holmes program with Data and Geordi, but she never has to treat a sick patient in order to be invited to play along with her two fellow crewmates.

In "The Dauphin", we do see Pulaski treating a man laying on a bio-bed in sickbay, but she doesn't get invited to partake in any special events--none involving him nor the two alien allasomorphs that kept transforming into those fearsome monsters--at any time during this episode.

In "Unnatural Selection", the genetically created boy that Pulaski attempts to give treatment to isn't actually sick; the boy is only a carrier of the disease that is causing the accelerated aging process.

Besides that, Pulaski isn't actually invited to the research station where the rest of the genetically created children and the aged scientists are being quarantined; she voluntarily visits them herself, determined to satisfy her own scientific curiosities.

Answer: Symbiosis

After the Brekkian and Ornarian representatives have beamed into the cargo bay, they immediately begin quarreling about the profit and the ownership of the medical supplies, respectively. A fight between two of the men ensues, which consists of them shocking each other with electrical discharges, while the Brekkian woman prevents another Ornarian man from using his powers by subduing him with her own electrical discharges. That's when Yar takes out her phaser and shoots one of the men in the arm, instantly putting a halt to all of the foolishness.

In "Encounter At Farpoint", Yar does show off some nifty martial arts techniques after she and the rest of the bridge crew from the battle section of the Enterprise have been transported to the Q Continuum.

When one of the soldiers in the 'court room' fires his weapon at the crew's feet, Yar retaliates against the soldier by landing a few kicks and a mighty throw over her shoulder. But besides that, there is no fight involving an alien that Yar herself is involved in.

In "Code Of Honor", Yar shows off some skills again at the beginning of the episode, physically manhandling one of the Ligonian representatives who attempts to give Picard the sample of the medical supplies without Yar having inspected it first. And she is seen in combat again in her holodeck sparring, then later once more in the arena with the Ligonian woman named Yareena. With all of this fighting going on, however, there isn't any time in this episode when Yar is BREAKING UP a fight. In "Yesterday's Enterprise", Yar isn't breaking up any fights at all--not while she's on the futuristic battleship Enterprise nor while she's on the Enterprise-C from the past.

Answer: Shades Of Gray

At the end of the episode, after Dr. Pulaski has successfully cured Riker of his infection, the first officer is back to his old jokey self. When asked how he feels and if he knows who he is, Riker formally replies that he's Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the Federation Starship Enterprise.

The joke prompts Picard to respond in similar fashion by jokingly referring to Data as an admiral while discussing his earlier concerns about Riker's recovery. In "Yesterday's Enterprise", Captain Garrett of the Enterprise-C does get addressed as captain, but there is nobody in this episode at all who is being referred to as 'admiral'.

In "Disaster", it's true that Picard gives temporary ranks to the three children he's trapped inside the turbolift with, even calling the girl and the eldest of the children 'Number One', but none of them, nor anybody else in this episode, is addressed as 'captain' nor 'admiral'.

In "Remember Me", even while it seems everybody on board the Enterprise is disappearing all around Dr. Crusher, nobody other than Picard is called 'captain', and nor is anybody ever addressed as 'admiral' in this episode.

Answer: Ship In A Bottle

When Moriarity has taken control of the Enterprise and attempting to persuade the real Riker to release him and the Countess from the confines of the holodeck, he programs the warp core temperature to rise--that is, until Riker agrees to order a transport of the two cunning characters from the holodeck directly into the transporter room. Later, after Moriarty has restored voice command to Picard, the crew is able to regain control of the Enterprise and move it to a safe distance away from the gravitational pull of the colliding planets in space, the planets creating the beautiful star that goes supernova at the very end of the episode.

In "Contagion", although the malfunctions happening to the Enterprise, which are threatening to tear apart the ship, are being caused by the proximity to the Iconian probes, there is no star nor any other interstellar phenomena that is being created in space that is serving as a secondary threat to the Enterprise.

In "Disaster", there is no phenomenon in space that is ever seen; we only see the Enterprise itself get rocked--then subsequently crippled--by the turbulence from the anomaly that it encounters.

In "Cause And Effect", the Enterprise does encounter a spatial anomaly that drains the ship's power during every time loop, and it's true that weapons fire from the Federation ship that emerges from that anomaly is what cases the Enterprise to be destroyed during each loop. However, the actual formation of the anomaly itself is never seen; it appears on the viewscreen each time as already having been floating around in space.

Answer: Hollow Pursuits

The invidium substance being hauled in the cargo bay that Geordi's engineering team came into contact with at the beginning of the episode is discovered to be connected to the seemingly random malfunctions occurring onboard the Enterprise. It's also responsible for having changed the molecular structure of the drink glasses ordered by Geordi and his engineering team in Ten Forward.

After one of the lieutenants picks his glass up and finds his drink leaking onto the table, Data experiences the exact same thing when he picks up his own drink glass.

In "The Royale", even with all of the people happily drinking and gambling away in the hotel's casino, there are no leaking drink glasses that Data--nor Worf nor Riker--are picking up. In "Relics", during a memorable and funny scene with Scotty in Ten Forward, Data does hold a drinking glass while commenting 'it is green' in reference to the actual color of the drink itself, but the glass isn't leaking at all.

In "Elementary, Dear Data", the only place within the Sherlock Holmes program where glasses full of liquid are found is Moriarity's laboratory; Data never handles any of these glasses at any point during the episode.
