Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who directed this film?

Answer: Leonard Nimoy

Leonard Nimoy also directed "Three Men and a Baby".

2. Who portrays Dr. Gillian Taylor?

Answer: Catherine Hicks

Catherine Hicks also plays the mother on "7th Heaven", with Stephen Collins, who appeared in "Star Trek - The Motion Picture".

3. When Sarek interrupts the Council to "speak on behalf of the accused", what are the first words he says?

Answer: "Klingon justice is a unique point of view."

The Klingon Chancellor objects to Sareks appearance there and accuses Sarek of being biased because Kirk saved Spock.

4. What does McCoy name their Klingon ship?

Answer: H.M.S. Bounty

It is an appropriate choice, based on the novel "Mutiny on the Bounty". Like the crew in the novel, the crew of the Enterprise is facing court-martial for disobeying direct orders of a superior officer, and stealing the Enterprise in order to save Spock.

5. Spock is taking a test, given by a computer, to test his restored memory. What question does he not understand?

Answer: "How do you feel?"

His mother tells him that the computer knows that he is half-human and that, as her son, he has feelings, whether he understands them or not.

6. Why does Spock say he must go with the Enterprise crew?

Answer: Because he was there

He is going to offer testimony at Kirk's trial. It is a matter of duty for him.

Answer: "I don't doubt it."

Spock had told McCoy that it would be impossible to talk about death with him "without a common frame of reference." Being as McCoy probably did not feel like dying just to hold a conversation with Spock, he was probably glad for the interruption.

8. When informed that they need to find "some humpbacks", what does Scotty reply with?

Answer: "Humpbacked? People?"

Scotty has never heard of humpbacked whales.

9. Where do they "park" their ship on the Earth of the past?

Answer: Golden Gate Park

This is Kirk's suggestion. They are all glad to see San Francisco again, even if it is a San Francisco they have never known, because that is where Starfleet Headquarters is located in their time. Sulu was born in San Francisco.

10. What paper do we see a lady buying as the crew looks on?

Answer: San Francisco Register

Kirk then realizes that they will need money.

11. How much money does Kirk get for the glasses that he sells?

Answer: $100

Kirk knows that the glasses will be given to him by Dr. McCoy again in the future.

12. Kirk tells the crew to wait while he gets the money. Then he tells them to spread out because they look like what?

Answer: A cadet review

They try to spread out but they end up all in a group no matter which way they turn.

13. Where are the whales located?

Answer: The Cetacean Institute

Marineland is in Los Angeles and Sea World is located in San Diego. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is the location actually used for the Cetacean Institute.

14. What does Gillian call Kirk and Spock as she sees them walking on the street?

Answer: Robin Hood and Friar Tuck

Spock does resemble Friar Tuck in his robe and with a band around his head to cover his ears.

15. And now for my favorite quote from the movie. Kirk tells Gillian, "You're not exactly catching us at our best." What is Spock's reply?

Answer: "That much is certain."

Poor Spock. Must have been "too much LDS."
