Name That Episode #33 Trivia Quiz

Answer: Distant Origin

After the cloaked Voth scientists are revealed in the mess hall, one of them stuns Chakotay and abducts him, but not before leaving behind one of their self-cloaking devices. Later, Paris is analyzing this device under Tuvok's supervision, using an apple as the test subject when he offers that something organic has to be used. Shortly afterwards, Janeway's voice comes over the com, as the Voth city-ship is approaching and posing as a tactical threat. Paris and Tuvok, however, never make it to the bridge before Voyager is captured and the Voth's dampening field renders the ship's defenses useless.

In "Riddles", it's true that the mysterious Ba'neth, which had attacked Tuvok on the Delta Flyer, were using cloaking technology. However, they did not leave behind any physical cloaking devices for any of the Voyager crew to analyze.

The aliens performing the various dangerous experiments on the Voyager crew in "Scientific Method" were cloaked as well; just as with "Riddles", however, no physical cloaking devices were left behind for any of the crew to analyze here neither.

Then in "Gravity", there is nobody using cloaking technology of any kind at all.

Answer: Basics, Part 1

After the Kazon-Nistrim has seized Voyager and begun boarding the ship, they are forcefully removing individual crewmembers out of every room, including sickbay. The Doctor, however, conceals himself from view while giving a voice command to the ship's computer to make his program go offline for twelve hours, at which time he would be re-activated automatically. By that time, all the other crewmembers (minus Paris and murderer, Lon Suder) have already been dropped off on the primeval Hanon 4. But it left open the opportunity for he and Suder to regain control of Voyager, which would eventually occur in the third-season premiere.

In "Unforgettable", the Ramuran bounty hunter Kellin did trigger an intruder alert when recounting how she fell in love with Chakotay. Plus, another one of the Ramuran bounty hunters materializes on the ship when he tracks Kellin down later in Chakotay's quarters.

However, in neither of these instances of intrusion did the Doctor need to terminate his own program.

There were no intruders at all in neither "Dragon's Teeth" nor "Repentance"; the crew was willingly working with the Vaadwaur to outwit the Turei and showing hospitality to the Nygean prisoners, respectively.

Answer: Year Of Hell, Part 1

As a result of the constant unprovoked attacks by the time-manipulating aliens, the Krenim, Voyager is in a heavily-damaged state by the midway point of the episode. In one scene, Harry and a severely-injured B'Elanna are trapped in an inoperable turbolift, quizzing each other with bits of Earth trivia before Seven forces open the doors to the shaft, finally providing her crewmates with an exit to escape.

In the other three episodes, disasters of some sort do cripple the ship in some manner and cause crewmembers to be displaced in various areas--the proton bursts severely damaging the duplicate Voyager in "Deadlock", the alien entity transforming Voyager into a massive labyrinth in "Twisted", the 'nocturnal aliens' draining the ship's power and forcing the crew to traverse corridors in complete darkness in "Night"--but Harry and B'Elanna being trapped together inside a turbolift doesn't occur in any of them.

Answer: Endgame

The series finale features Admiral Janeway going back in time to help the Voyager crew outwit the Borg and get back home. After the back-and-forth debating of right versus wrong between the admiral and her younger self, there's a scene where Janeway arrives in the shuttlebay and injects the admiral with a hypospray, which we are led to presume contained the pathogen that infects the Collective when the admiral is later injected by the assimilation tubules of the Borg Queen. Earlier in the episode, Seven arrives in Chakotay's quarters for a romantic date via a site-to-site transport, carrying a bouquet of beautiful flowers for their romantic date in much the same way that the holographic Chakotay brought flowers to her during her romantic simulations on the holodeck in "Human Error".

In "Bliss", Seven does rig a site-to-site transport to engineering while carrying a phaser rifle, but that would only make this answer partially correct; we do NOT see Janeway carrying a hypospray nor going to the shuttlebay for any reason.

In "Relativity", we did witness a lot of transporting, which took the form of the time jumps between the U.S.S. Relativity and various points in the timeline on Voyager, but there were never any actual site-to-site transports that transported a crewmember from one area of Voyager to another within the same timeline, and that also holds true in regards to the U.S.S. Relativity itself. Then in "The Voyager Conspiracy", the only thing we see getting transported are Janeway, when she materializes onboard the Delta Flyer to reason with Seven at the end of the episode, and Tash's ship, which is propelled a few light years to another part of space thanks to the technology of the catapult.

Answer: Revulsion

At the beginning of the episode, there is a rather informal ceremony that takes place in the mess hall with Tuvok and the other senior officers sitting around a table. After a few harmless jokes by Paris and the crew, Janeway stands up to make the promotion official by adding a pip to Tuvok's uniform collar.

The Vulcan chief of security is still a lieutenant all through the third season (which makes "Worst Case Scenario" an incorrect answer), he's not yet a lieutenant commander in "The Gift" and he was already a lieutenant commander by the time "Mortal Coil" aired.

Answer: The Haunting Of Deck Twelve

The big clue for answering this one is 'nebular gas'. In Neelix's story to the Borg children how Voyager encountered the mysterious lifeform in "The Haunting Of Deck Twelve", he's sharing with them his experience with Tuvok inside the Jefferies tube, the Vulcan chief of security and the Talaxian chef working together as Voyager's systems are shutting down one by one.

In order to help alleviate anxiety, Tuvok suggests that Neelix think about something positive--a moment of happiness and joy. Neelix then reflects upon the time he celebrated his birthday in the mess hall (which we had never seen before in any of the previous episodes).

He is sitting down at a table with the merry crew standing around him when a smiling Janeway emerges from the mess hall kitchen carrying a covered dish.

But when the lid is taken off, we see a screeching, flaming face resembling the nebula instead of soufflé and the other tasty things that Neelix mentioned. In the other three episodes, the Talaxian chef does have moments when he is haunted by something--a false image of the Talaxian afterlife in "Mortal Coil", his retelling to B'Elanna about his nightmare of being cooked alive in stew in "Waking Moments", his gruesome thoughts about dying as a result of the Vidiians extracting his lungs in "Phage"--but in none of them do we see him being haunted by imaginary images of creatures in his food.

Answer: Scientific Method

The cloaked aliens who were performing the dangerous experiments on the Voyager crew conduct one last experiment towards the end of the episode. The Doctor is alerted to the bridge, where an unnamed female crewman in a yellow Starfleet uniform is writhing in agony on the floor before she collapses.

While the Doctor is scanning her, Janeway is frantically trying to revive the crewman using CPR, but the captain is unsuccessful. Fed up with her crew being the unwilling test subjects to the aliens' attacks, Janeway relieves the officer at the conn station before assuming that station herself, initiating red alert and flying Voyager directly into the binary pulsars to force the aliens off the ship.

Although medical emergencies do arise in the other three episodes, Janeway is not using CPR to revive dying crewmembers in any of them.

Answer: The Thaw

In one of the many humorous moments of this episode, Harry and B'Elanna have just entered into the artificial environment of the 'Fear Clown' when the crowd of masked circus goons force them to dance. Upon seeing the guillotine being lowered, Voyager's operations officer and chief engineer try to escape.

The goons, however, shove them around, prompting them to fight back. But physically punching the circus goons does them no good at all; the one Harry's attacking laughs and does a twirl while the one B'Elanna attacks also laughs at her before grabbing her and restraining her by the arms.

It was apparent early on that the 'Fear Clown' and his minions would have to be defeated through unconventional means. B'Elanna isn't attacking anybody while participating in Tuvok's "Insurrection Alpha" program on the holodeck in "Worst Case Scenario".

In "Unimatrix Zero, Part 2", the place from which this two-part episode gets its title is only visited by Seven and Janeway, thanks to Tuvok's special mind meld he calls 'the bridging of the minds'.

Then in "Random Thoughts", although we do see B'Elanna THINKING about beating up the man in the marketplace while being questioned by Inspector Namira, she is never actually inside any artificial environment at all.

Answer: Coda

When their shuttlecraft crashes down on the planet, Chakotay discovers that Janeway is unconscious. He first tries to revive her with instruments from an emergency medkit, but after being unsuccessful, he carries the captain outside and proceeds to try reviving her using conventional CPR instead.

After several desperate attempts fail, one final injection from a hypospray finally gets the captain gasping for air. This scene would be repeated a second time, except in this instance, Janeway 'dies' and is then visited by the alien masquerading as her admiral father. Chakotay is not using CPR to revive unconscious crewmembers in any of the other three episodes.

Answer: Basics, Part 2

This one takes a little extra thought, but it first helps to know what role Kes is playing in each of the four episodes. In the series pilot, Kes is determined to help the away team find B'Elanna and Harry, who are in the Ocampa hospital, after she is rescued from the Kazon-Ogla. Kes informs Janeway that their missing crewmembers may have tried to access one of the ancient tunnels in the underground caverns, the same tunnels that she used to escape herself.

After receiving premonitions due to her telepathic link with Species 8472 in "Scorpion, Part 1", Kes spends much of the latter portion of "Scorpion, Part 2" on the bridge, informing Janeway about what the Borg's new enemy is communicating to her.

In essence, Kes serves as a vessel for Janeway to try to reason with the mysterious fluidic aliens who, through communicating to Kes in Part 1, warned that 'the weak will perish'. With the Doctor's program having been hijacked by Henry Starling in "Future's End, Part 2", Kes's role as a medical aide in sickbay is heightened.

In one scene, Starling is beamed directly from his Chronowerx office in Los Angeles into the transporter room, where he falls unconscious. When Starlng is seen shortly afterwards lying on the bio-bed in sickbay, Janeway verifies with Kes that it's safe to wake Starling before instructing the Ocampan to do so. That leaves "Basics, Part 2", which featured everyone (except for the Doctor, Paris and the murderer, Lon Suder) stranded on the primeval Hanon 4. We see very little of Kes in this episode altogether, and the only time we do see Kes visibly contributing to the crew is when she's tending to the fire at night in the crew's makeshift camp. At that point, no dialogue between Kes and the captain is taking place; we only see her worried about Neelix, calling out to him and warning him not to venture out too far away from camp. Besides that, shortly after the remains of Crewman Hogan are found, Janeway does order that Kes sees to the crew not wandering off into the caves. However, we DON'T see Kes actively doing so; she only nods in agreement without saying a word.
