From Quiz Name the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Episode

Answer: "The Neutral Zone"

In the episode "The Neutral Zone", the Enterprise crew discover a derelict space capsule containing four humans from the 21st century who have been cryogenically frozen. Dr. Crusher discovers that each one died from medical problems and were immediately frozen after death with the hope that a cure in the future would be able to bring them back to life. The doctor is able to do just that.

From Quiz Name That Episode #27

Answer: When The Bough Breaks

After Wesley and the other children are abducted from the Enterprise by the aging Aldeans, he is given permission to consult with the ancient computer that the Aldeans call 'The Custodian'. As part of his test runs, he asks 'The Custodian' to show him the current locations of some of the kids, which results in the video monitor displaying the kids working on whatever hobby or science project they're being encouraged by their new alien 'parents' to become good at. But the always-clever acting ensign uses 'The Custodian' to his advantage, eventually asking him a series of questions that are instrumental in plotting his and the children's escape from the planet.

From Quiz Name That Episode #21

Answer: A Matter Of Perspective

Perhaps symbolically serving as a preview to the different 'perspectives' that will be witnessed during the murder simulation, the opening scene shows Picard, plus a plainclothes ensign and a lieutenant, painting a portrait of an unnamed woman who is posing nude for them in Ten Forward. Data is there also, examining and analyzing each artist's personal interpretation, but he goes a little too far with the highly technical conclusions he draws up for Picard's work.

From Quiz Name That Episode #20

Answer: Datalore

'The Crystalline Entity'--the giant snowflake-looking, space-faring lifeform made its debut in this episode and was the alien that is depicted in the hand-made drawings (presumably from a child's point-of-view) found by the away team on the walls inside the secret laboratory where Data and Lore were originally manufactured. That lab was discovered to be hidden behind an artificial rock face (according to the sensor readings from Geordi's VISOR) down on the current wasteland of a planet where Data was originally retrieved by the Human colonists.

From Quiz Lost In The Line Of Duty

Answer: Lieutenant Junior Grade Van Mayter

This event happens in the season 4 episode 'In Theory'. 'In Theory' was directed by main cast member Patrick Stewart.

From Quiz "Star Trek: TNG" - the Best "Star Trek" Series!

Answer: DeForest Kelley

DeForest Kelley had a quick cameo reprising his iconic role as Leonard McCoy, however he was ranked as an Admiral. When he was escorted to the shuttle by Data, he stated to him "I don't see any points on your ears, boy... but you sound like a Vulcan!" Data replied "No, sir. I am an android." McCoy turned away and grumbled to himself "Almost as bad."

From Quiz Name That Episode #2

Answer: Masks

This one's a little tricky! The alien artifact, which has downloaded its library into the Enterprise's computer, has already begun gradually transforming the ship into an environment similar to its origins when Geordi and Worf are in engineering, attempting to ready a photon torpedo after a few modifications. When Geordi realizes that the torpedo isn't responding to controls, he opens up a hatch, only to be startled that there are a nest of snakes crawling around inside (yikes!). In "I, Borg", there was nobody on the ship analyzing a weapon in engineering; the only thing being 'analyzed' in this episode was 'Hugh', the Borg drone itself, by Geordi and Dr. Crusher while inside the science lab. In "Phantasms", it is in fact discovered that the organisms infesting the ship were attracted to the Enterprise's new warp core, preventing the ship from being able to engage warp speed. However, this discovery isn't made until the very end of the episode--AFTER Geordi and Picard are able to use Data to rid the creatures by interpreting the android's dreams on the holodeck. By that time, everything onboard the Enterprise was already back to normal. In "New Ground", the new soliton wave is the only technology in this episode being studied and analyzed, and there are no living lifeforms found inside of it while the experiment is being conducted.

From Quiz Name That Episode #1

Answer: Timescape

After Picard, Troi and Data have beamed back onto the Enterprise, which has been frozen in time due to the temporal anomalies permeating the region, they all enter engineering, where they discover that a warp core breach is slowly in progress. When Picard walks over to the warp core, which is venting plasma, he beings laughing his head off, seeing an image of a smiley face within the plasma gas. The captain proceeds to laugh before getting riled up in a state of panic, a scan of his body revealing later that he was suffering from a form of temporal psychosis at that moment in engineering. In "The Naked Now", even though I would say the crew was making plenty of smiley faces at each other, the result of the intoxicating 'disease' having impaired their judgement and causing most of them to become romantically flirty, there are no artificial images of smiley faces seen anywhere on the Enterprise. In "The Game", the crew was making plenty of smiley faces again, this time the result of the device, which was brought onboard by Riker from Risa, giving everyone extreme pleasure. But also again, no artificial images of smiley faces are seen anywhere on the ship in this episode either, and the same holds true for the seventh-season episode "Genesis".

From Quiz "Star Trek: TNG" Scenes from Season 5

Answer: "Ensign Ro"

Ro Laren is a Bajoran Starfleet officer, who once disobeyed orders and was convicted for the deaths of eight other officers as a result of that disobedience. She is brought on the Enterprise to help in a crisis involving her people. However Ro is still seen as a traitor by other Starfleet officers, and receives harsh treatment from everyone. Which is too bad, because she has a very important secret to reveal, and no one to reveal it to.

From Quiz "Star Trek: TNG" Scenes from Season 4

Answer: "Remember Me"

In this episode, Dr. Crusher's world is rapidly becoming depopulated, with a growing number of people simply disappearing off the Enterprise. Unfortunately, no one else seems to notice; In fact, no one except the doctor believes that the missing people ever existed. Eventually she is left all alone, with only the Enterprise computer to help her try to rationalize and solve this terrifying situation.

From Quiz "Star Trek: TNG" Scenes from Season 3

From Quiz "Star Trek: TNG" Scenes from Season 2

Answer: "Samaritan Snare"

This episode has two main plots, which are almost entirely separate, and surprisingly the most interesting of the two is the one without any action in it. Picard must go to a nearby starbase to have his artificial heart replaced, and decides to share a shuttle with Wesley Crusher, who is going there to get tested for Starfleet Academy. They have some very interesting discussions along the way there.

From Quiz More "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Miscellany

Answer: "Hide and Q"

It was interesting when I first saw this episode that Troi wasn't anywhere to be seen, and even in the captain's log, Picard mentions that she is off-ship. In "Relics", she wasn't in the episode until the last scene, and in "Face of the Enemy" she was not herself, but she was in the episode playing her character that was masquerading as a Romulan Tal Shiar agent.
