Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the first episode of the season, "The Homecoming," we meet a legendary Bajoran freedom fighter (who turns out not to be quite as legendary as he appears) named Li Nalas. The man playing Li Nalas also played a regular character on another popular TV series of the 1990's. Which one?
2. In "The Circle," Vedek Bareil (Phillip Anglim) uses his influence as a significant Bajoran religious figure to provide Major Kira Nerys (Nana Visitor) with an opportunity to fulfill one of her lifelong dreams: to commune with one of the Orbs of the Prophets. In the presence of which Orb does Kira experience her most treasured religious communion?
3. In "Invasive Procedures," a vengeful Trill named Verad (John Glover) storms the station with a small contingent of mercenaries, intent on stealing the symbiont bonded to DS9 science officer Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell). The actor playing one of Verad's Klingon henchmen went on to play a regular character on a later "Trek" series. Which one?
4. The episode "Melora" is named for a headstrong, beautiful Starfleet cadet who, thanks to the low-gravity conditions of her homeworld, is confined to a wheelchair for most of the episode. She goes on to capture the heart of Doctor Julian Bashir (Siddig El Fadil). What is Melora's Starfleet specialty?
5. In "Rules of Acquisition," we hear of the Dominion, the ruling power that seemingly has a death-grip on most of the peoples of the Gamma Quadrant (on the other side of the wormhole just astride Deep Space Nine). Amusingly enough, the first "DS9" character to hear the word "Dominion" is Quark (Armin Shimmerman), as he has been sent to the Gamma Quadrant to broker a massive purchase of a certain edible product from representatives of a race called the Doci. What edible is Quark attempting to purchase from the Doci?
6. The fascinating episode "Necessary Evil" features a flashback to five years in the past, when Constable Odo (Rene Auberjonois) is forced by the still-reigning Cardassian government to investigate the murder of a Bajoran shopkeeper aboard Terok Nor, the station that will one day be renamed "Deep Space Nine" by the United Federation of Planets. One of the suspects in Odo's investigation turns out to be a Bajoran woman named Kira Nerys. True or False: Kira DID, in fact, kill Bajoran shopkeeper Vaatrik.
7. In "Sanctuary," a ship carrying Gamma Quadrant aliens comes through the wormhole, and the aliens are brought aboard the station. The "universal translator" aboard DS9, however, has a difficult time translating the aliens' language for a while. Even without the benefit of language, however, the aliens immediately feel something of a connection with one of the regular characters, and this character becomes a sort of ambassador for these people throughout most of the rest of the episode. Which character?
8. Quark finds himself met with stiff competition in "Rivals" when a new arrival on the station opens up an establishment of his own on the promenade, drawing customers away from Quark's bar. The man who acts as Quark's adversary in this episode hails from the same race as another "Trek" character. Which one?
9. In "The Alternate," Odo finds himself the victim of a kind of multiple personality disorder, thanks to his being exposed to an unusual set of circumstances. What caused Odo to shape-shift into a monster of sorts, without any memory of his actions in his "alternate" identity?
10. In "Armageddon Game," Dr. Julian Bashir tells Chief of Operations Miles O'Brien (Colm Meaney) that he (Julian) once let the great love of his life get away, because he wanted to leave Earth and be a Starfleet doctor. What was this woman's profession?
11. In "Whispers," we hear Chief O'Brien (or a reasonable facsimile thereof, not to give the episode away) order coffee from the replicator. How does he take it?
12. In "Paradise," two officers from Deep Space Nine find themselves trapped on a planet where technology is not only suppressed, but illegal. Which two characters are subjected to the cult-like mentality of this civilization?
13. In "Shadowplay," two Deep Space Nine officers are surprised to learn that (almost) the entire population of a seemingly normal humanoid colony in the Gamma Quadrant is made up of nothing more than holograms. Which two characters uncover this mystery?
14. In "Playing God," the station is plagued by rodents left behind by the Cardassians. These rodents, oddly enough, share the name of a rodent found on Earth. What are they called?
15. "Blood Oath" features three Klingon warriors who first appeared in the original "Star Trek" series. True or False: ALL THREE of these characters were played, in "Blood Oath," by the same actors who played the parts in "Star Trek: The Original Series" in the late 1960's.
16. The love of Quark's life plays a major role in "Profit and Loss." Of what species is this woman, whose hold on Quark's heart is so strong that he is actually willing to sacrifice PROFIT for her?
17. Back to "Blood Oath": of the three Klingon warriors who coax Jadzia Dax into joining them in their mission of vengeance, how many of them are still alive at the end of the episode?
18. In "The Maquis, Part I," we learn that Commander Calvin Hudson -- an old, trusted friend of Sisko's -- has taken up with The Maquis, a group of ex-Federation dissidents who resort to terrorist acts in order to prevent dishonorable Cardassians from attacking and enslaving inhabitants of certain worlds along the "demilitarized zone" near the border of Cardassian space. Which actor plays Cal Hudson?
19. In "The Wire," we learn that a familiar character is suffering from life-threatening health problems because of an implant that, years earlier, was placed into his skull. Which character is a victim of the titular "wire"?
20. In "Crossover," the "mirror universe" first discovered by Captain Kirk and company in the original series episode "Mirror, Mirror" is finally revisited. In this alternate universe, "duplicates" of many characters familiar to "DS9" viewers are on display, many of them behaving in a manner quite unfamiliar to viewers. Whose "duplicate" do we NOT see in this episode?
21. Also in "Crossover," Odo's duplicate is killed (he EXPLODES, actually!) due to a strike from a Bajoran phaser. Who fired this weapon, killing the duplicate Odo?
22. In "The Collaborator," much is made of the fact that certain high-ranking officials in Bajoran political and religious circles collaborated with the Cardassians during the occupation of Bajor. Kira, after having been asked to investigate the identity of the Bajoran collaborator who years ago gave the Cardassians the location of a group of freedom fighters (all of whom were subsequently killed), discovers evidence implicating her lover, Vedek Bareil, as the collaborator in question. True or False: Bareil was NOT actually the collaborator.
23. Chief O'Brien is abducted to Cardassia Prime and tried for a crime he did not commit in "Tribunal." According to Cardassian law, an accused criminal is allowed to have a "nestor," or legal advisor, at the proceedings, and one of O'Brien's colleagues agrees to act in this capacity. Who acts as O'Brien's "nestor"?
24. In "The Jem'Hadar," a Galaxy-class Federation starship (of the same make and model as the ENTERPRISE featured in "The Next Generation") is called upon to help rescue Commander Sisko from a new threat in the Gamma Quadrant. This ill-fated starship shares the name of a 20th-century NASA vessel. Which one?
