Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who directed this landmark episode?

Answer: David Carson

Carson directed several episodes of the series, as well as the motion picture 'Star Trek: Generations.'

2. Early in the episode, Guinan introduces Worf to a beverage that he enjoys immensely, and refers to as 'a warrior's drink.' What is the drink in question?

Answer: prune juice

Draw your own conclusions here.

Answer: all of these deviations are in place

These alterations, as well as darker lighting, serve as visual cues to remind us at all times that we are not witnessing the Starfleet we know and love.

4. When the ENTERPRISE-C comes through the rift, many of her crew have died. How many survivors remain?

Answer: 125

We are never told what the full complement of the ENTERPRISE-C is, but only 125 crewmembers remain alive by the time the ship arrives in the future.

5. In the alternate universe that we see throughout most of this episode, with whom is the United Federation of Planets at war?

Answer: the Klingons

Since, in the alternate universe, the ENTERPRISE-C failed to defend the Klingon outpost at Narendra III, the Klingons eventually waged war against the Federation.

6. In the alternate universe, the familiar bridge crew of the ENTERPRISE-D is notably missing some personnel. Who is NOT absent from the bridge crew in the alternate universe?

Answer: Wesley Crusher

Deanna is presumably absent since a battleship has little time or space for a counselor. Worf is nowhere in sight since the Federation is at war with the Klingon Empire. Wesley is not only a part of the bridge crew, he is a full ensign -- a sign, perhaps, that the Federation needs all the help it can get.

7. In the alternate universe we hear, over the shipwide P.A., a page for a crew member who had only been seen in one episode previously. Who is it?

Answer: Dr. Selar

Dr. Selar, a Vulcan physician, appeared in the second season episode 'The Schizoid Man.' She was never seen in 'ST:TNG': again, but she is a regular character in Peter David's 'Star Trek: New Frontier' novels.

8. The ENTERPRISE-C has come through a temporal rift to its future. How far into the future has the ship come?

Answer: 22 years

It's stated several times throughout the episode.

9. The ENTERPRISE-C escaped to the future in the midst of a brutal firefight. How many Romulan Warbirds await them back in their own time?

Answer: 4

It's made quite clear that the ENTERPRISE-C is hopelessly outnumbered, especially given the damage they have already sustained.

10. In the alternate universe, the Federation is not doing especially well in the war against the Klingons. What percentage of the Federation has been lost thus far in the war?

Answer: 50%

Fifty per cent of the United Federations of Planets adds up to billions of lives.

11. Who played Rachel Garrett, the captain of the ill-fated ENTERPRISE-C?

Answer: Tricia O'Neil

O'Neil has had a long and varied career in television.

12. After Captain Garrett is killed, the only remaining senior officer is Lieutenant (j.g.) Castillo. What is Castillo's first name?

Answer: Richard

Castillo asks Tasha Yar to call him by his first name, but she never does.

13. Who's the actor playing Lt. Castillo?

Answer: Christopher McDonald

Christopher McDonald also played Thelma's sleazy husband in 'Thelma and Louise,' Ward Cleaver in the theatrical release 'Leave It To Beaver,' and Goose McKenzie in 'Grease 2.'

14. Captain Rachel Garrett is slight of stature, unswerving in her resolve, and shares a hairstyle and general appearance with the captain of the USS VOYAGER, Kathryn Janeway.

Answer: True

Captain Rachel Garrett was played by Tricia O'Neil and Janeway by Kate Mulgrew.

15. In the alternate universe, how many Federation citizens have died in the 20 years of the Federation-Klingon war?

Answer: 40 billion

This figure is stated by Guinan while arguing with Picard.

Answer: 6 months

Picard's rushed whispering in this scene is perhaps the most unsettling element of the episode.

17. How does Captain Rachel Garrett die in this episode?

Answer: She takes a piece of shrapnel in the forehead

Once Captain Garrett dies, Lt. Castillo becomes the ranking officer.

18. Lt. Castillo and Tasha Yar kiss exactly once during this episode. Where are they when this happens?

Answer: The transporter room of the ENTERPRISE-D

Just before Castillo beams back aboard the ENTERPRISE-C, they think that they will never see each other again, and indulge in a long kiss good-bye.

19. After Castillo and Yar's kiss, Castillo says, as a rather formal farewell, exactly one word. What is it?

Answer: Lieutenant

Both Castillo and Yar are Lieutenants in Starfleet.

20. The alternate universe Tasha learns the precise details of her death in the 'real' history.

Answer: False

Guinan's clairvoyance probably affords her access to the details of the 'real' history, but all she tells Tasha is that she died an 'empty' death that 'served no purpose.' No further details were given.

21. In the alternate universe, Picard's log is not called the captain's log. When we hear Picard's voice-over narration, how is it prefaced?

Answer: 'Military log...'

Another hint that Starfleet has left its peacekeeping roots and has become a military organization in the alternate universe.

22. Which member of the alternate universe bridge crew dies while the ENTERPRISE-D is attempting to cover the ENTERPRISE-C's return through the temporal rift?

Answer: Riker

Riker's tactical panel explodes, leaving his throat shredded and his eyes wide open in death, seconds before the 'real' history is restored.

Answer: that will be the day

Probably a nod to the fans who felt that Picard, unlike Kirk, surrendered his vessel too easily and too often. The 'alternate' Picard never considered that option for a second!

24. At the very end of this episode, once the 'real' history is restored, Guinan feels the urge to ask one of the crewmembers about Tasha Yar. Who is it?

Answer: La Forge

Geordi looks quite stunned that Guinan has asked the question, and we never learn what he tells her.

25. The events of this episode resulted in the creation of a new enemy for the crew of the ENTERPRISE-D. To what hostile organization did this enemy belong?

Answer: the Romulan empire

When the alternate universe Tasha went back in time, she was captured by the Romulans and was forced to become the concubine of a Romulan officer. Their daughter, Sela, caused quite a bit of trouble for the ENTERPRISE-D on more than one occasion in subsequent episodes.
