'Star Trek' Time Travel Trivia Quiz

Answer: Allow a woman to die that he could've saved

Kirk falls in love with his landlady, Edith Keeler, before Spock determines that she must die, or else the US will enter WWII too late to prevent Germany's takeover of Earth.

Answer: They went through the atavachron simultaneously when they tried to follow Kirk

Spock thrusts McCoy towards the portal, but McCoy just hits the cliff face. Both must attempt to enter or neither can go.

Answer: Arne Darvin

Arne Darvin (Charlie Brill), a former Klingon spy altered to look human, gets passage back from Cardassia on the Defiant when he uses the recently-returned Orb of Time to go back in time and kill Kirk before Kirk can uncover Darvin's plan to infect Sherman's Planet with poisoned grain. (Brill reprises his role as Darvin from the TOS ep 'The Trouble with Tribbles'.)

Answer: Their new temporal shields are throwing his time calculations off for restoring his race

Initially, a Krenim ship attacks Voyager. Voyager is damaged. Seven makes a new type of shield to protect them from the Krenim's chronoton-based weapons. This temporal anomoly is something that Annorax cannot calculate around, so he needs to eliminate Voyager.

Answer: Braxton

By attacking Voyager, Braxton is thrown back to the 1960's, where his ship's technology is found and exploited by Henry Starling (Ed Begley, Jr.), actually creating the events that will endanger the 29th century.

Answer: First faster-than-light flight

They attack Zephram Cochran's launch site of his FTL ship the 'Phoenix'. Its use of warp speed will attract a passing Vulcan ship, which will then form the basis of the United Federation of Planets.

Answer: To pay for materials to build a whale tank

He gave the formula for transparent aluminum to Dr. Nichols in exchange for plexiglass to make the whale tank. It was Chekov and Uhura that got photons from the USS Enterprise's (CVN-65) reactors to recharge the dilithium. Sulu chummed up to the helicopter pilot to use his craft. Scotty never did get the jist of using a mouse, though.

Answer: He no longer existed, being killed when he was 7

His replacement was an Andorian officer, Thelen.

Answer: Put himself in a transporter buffer

Sadly, the transporter lost the pattern of another person that was with him.

Answer: It was an anti-time disturbance, hence its growth went backwards in time

One nit about this episode: when the Enterprise of 25 years in the future returned, the anomoly was growing forward in time, the opposite of what it should have been doing.

Answer: A rescue attempt from Voyager itself

The crew find a nearby planet devestated by an explosion that very day. This explosion created sub-space fissures, one of which transport Janeway and Paris to the day before on the planet, when it was still alive. Eventually, the crew in the future use a polaric beam to try to contact Janeway and Paris.

When Janeway sees its effect in the past and that it's about to disrupt a power system conduit, she nullifies it with a phaser blast. Since the explosion is averted in the past, time reverts to before they noticed the planet, which is still teeming with life.

Answer: Mr. Atoz

Atoz = 'A to Z', librarian... get it?

Answer: Gary Seven

This episode was to be the launch of a spin-off series starring Robert Lansing as Gary Seven and Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln.

Answer: picard guinan

Guinan meets Picard for the first time in 19th Century San Francisco. Centuries later, Picard meets Guinan for the first time. (confusing, yes?)

Answer: Crimes he will commit

Answer: Travels a little back in time and transports them into themselves just before their initial transport

Answer: Farming accident

Kirk explains that Spock is obviously Oriental, and that his ears were damaged by an automated rice-picking machine.

Answer: His pet sehlat died

His sehlat saved him during a wilderness excursion. He had to be put down because his injuries were too severe.

Answer: Star Trek: First Contact

After Riker explains to Zephram Cochrane where he and Troi are really from, he exclaims, 'You're all astronauts, on some kind of star trek.'

Answer: 3

The 3 refers to Cdr. Riker. He has a solution to avoid the deadly collision that has trapped them in the time loop, but Picard consistantly orders that Data's solution be used. Data realizes the 'three' message he keeps getting refers to Riker's 3 pips for his rank. So he implements Rikers plan instead of his, and the Enterprise and Bozeman are saved.

Answer: Twain London

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) is a key character. The eager bellboy at Data's hotel is Jack London before he ventured north.

Answer: Medieval

Kirk runs through the atavachron's portal when he hears a woman's scream. He travels to the time and place he was viewing. Spock and McCoy follow, but instead go back to Sarpeidon's Ice age, because that's what McCoy was watching.

Answer: Picard

Answer: head

Picard, trapped in the 1800's with a younger Guinan, encoded a message in Data's head that told the Enterprise in the 24th century not to destroy the aliens' cave in the future, lest they destroy 19th Century Earth. Fortunately, Geordi attaches Data's older head to his body that was thrown into the future. Data then informs Riker to hold fire until Picard can be rescued and a better attack on the cave can be devised.

Answer: Leader of first manned Saturn mission

"Star Trek" ep 'Tomorrow is Yesterday': Capt John Christopher was not going to be returned until Spock discovered that his son was so important in history.
