Name That Episode #1 Trivia Quiz

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".

Answer: Power Play

Ensign Ro accompanies Geordi to a predetermined area inside a Jefferies tube, equipped with a machine that they will use to create a plasma burst, simply planning to inflict mild harm to the 'possessed' Troi, Data and Chief O'Brien, who are holding several crewmembers and civilians hostage in Ten Forward.

The pair manages to get all three of their crewmmates down in Ten Forward to be within the circular boundary of the scanner's range, but unfortunately, Data steps away at the last second, Troi and O'Brien getting shocked by the plasma burst but Data himself having dodged the burst and remaining unharmed.

In "Genesis", Geordi and Barclay do enter a Jefferies tube together, but they're attempting to track the stray torpedo programmed by Worf and not attempting to use a device that will affect multiple members of the crew.

In "Realm Of Fear", Geordi and Barclay are in a Jefferies tube again, but Geordi is only there to speak to Barclay briefly about the transporter-fearing lieutenant's well-being following the brief away mission over to the U.S.S. Yosemite.

In "Rascals", Geordi never enters any of the Jefferies tubes; only Picard, Keiko, Guinan and Ensign Ro, who had been transformed into children as a result of the transporter accident, navigate the Jefferies tubes in their attempt to regain control of the ship after being boarded by the Ferengi.

Answer: Skin Of Evil

The sinister tar-like creature named Armus is toying with the away team that has come to the planet to rescue Troi. At one point, the Armus takes control of Data, forcing the android to pull out a phaser and point it at the other crewmembers. Fortunately, however, Armus never makes Data shoot anybody, perhaps the only stroke of compassion that it showed in the entire episode other than sparing the life of Troi and the rest of the away team.

In "Power Play", after Data, Troi and O'Brien have entered Ten Forward while in their 'possessed' state, they are confronted by Worf and his security team.

A phaser fight ensues, with Data firing upon one of the unnamed security officers after that officer fires on him first, though not being able to stun the android.

In "Genesis", when Picard and Data enter the captain's ready room after returning to the Enterprise from retrieving the stray torpedo, a de-evolved Riker lunges at Picard, knocking the captain hard against a sofa before Data zaps his First Officer with two phaser shots. Data isn't ever armed with a phaser at all, however, at any time during "Masks".

Answer: Deja Q

One of my favorite--and humorous--scenes from this episode occurs when Guinan confronts Q in Ten Forward, with Data present. Not believing that the omnipotent alien has truly lost his powers, Guinan reaches for a fork on the bar and stabs Q in the hand, his painful reaction proving that he is indeed human.

In "I, Borg", Guinan does speak to Geordi while they're discussing 'Hugh', the Borg drone rescued from the planet, while in Ten Forward, but the El-Aurian never picks up any kind of utensils while the conversation is taking place.

In "Rascals", Guinan never appears in Ten Forward at all--not while as an adult nor while as a child, which had happened following the transporter accident that had transformed her, Keiko, Ensign Ro and Picard into children.

In "Clues", Guinan only appears on the holodeck, playing the role of Gloria in Picard's Dixon Hill detective program.

Answer: Angel One

In a funny moment while Riker, Yar, Troi and Data are on the female-dominated planet in one of the guest rooms, Data picks up what he doesn't know is a bottle of perfume until Riker and Troi explain what it is and why it's used. Then after the four crewmembers leave, the alien man named Trent enters, spraying himself with some of the same perfume.

In "The Royale", the only objects Data picks up while inside the hotel are casino chips, craps dice, a room key, blackjack cards, the hat he 'borrowed' from the hot shot gambler at the blackjack table and the novel found in the dead colonel's suite on the second floor. Even with all of the beautiful ladies milling about, there were no perfume bottles anywhere in sight.

In "Manhunt", even with the outrageous Lwaxana Troi having come aboard the Enterprise in search for a new husband to marry, she's never seen spraying herself with any perfume, and neither are the fish-looking alien delegates who transported onto the ship before Lwaxana's arrival.

In "The Most Toys", even with the vast array of different objects on the ship where Data is being held prisoner for Fajo's entertainment purposes, a perfume bottle isn't among the objects that Data nor Fajo (ugh--I hated that Fajo for treating Data the way he did!) nor any of the other alien members on the ship 'toy' with during this episode.

Answer: The Game

The only time we see Nurse Ogawa in this episode is when Wesley enters the Turbolift and finds Dr. Crusher's assistant completely entranced by one of the game devices that the entire crew has been playing since Riker brought it back from his excursion on Risa.

In "Genesis", Ogawa is treating Riker for a 'cactus injury' and treating Data's cat Spot at the very beginning of the episode in sickbay. In "Man Of The People", Ogawa is assisting Dr. Crusher in sickbay again, operating a computer workstation once Troi has been brought into sickbay, the negative emotions of Alkar having been transferred to where it is now Troi who is appearing to look old and grey, much like Alkar's wife had appeared at the beginning of the episode.

In "Realm Of Fear", Ogawa is helping Dr. Crusher with the autopsy of the dead lieutenant that was found onboard the U.S.S. Yosemite.

Answer: Man Of The People

The second time Riker visits Troi in her quarters to work on crew reports, he's finds an emotionally-changed Troi to be unusually sensual and seductive, the ship's counselor trying to put the romantic moves on the first officer. When Riker doesn't return the favor, Troi fiercely scratches him on his neck. Riker ends up getting treated for the scratches in sickbay by Dr. Crusher.

Then later, Picard is in the transporter room, about to oversee the transport of Alkar and his guests to the planet for the Rekag-Seronian peace negotiations when a deranged Troi enters into the room, determined to go to the surface along with Alkar.

As Picard tries to hold her back, Troi produces a knife and ends up stabbing her captain before security officers rush in just in time to take her away to sickbay. Dr. Crusher rushes in also, wanting to treat Picard for the stab, but Picard brushes it off as something minor and doesn't get treated for it.

In "Timescape", neither the Enterprise's captain nor its First Officer are attacked--not by the Romulans, nor by the aliens who had assumed Romulan form. Riker does get treated for an injury he suffered while on the holodeck while Picard is treated for a couple of minor ailments as a result of him being caught in some of the temporal fragments.

In "Rascals", even with the Ferengi having come aboard the Enterprise and forcing some of the crew to transport down onto the planet, nobody is physically attacked. And it's Picard, while as a child, who ends up being medically tended to in sickbay, and not Riker. In "Night Terrors", the only crewmembers who are physically attacked are the ones that are in Ten Forward brawling with each other, highly agitated as well as not being able to fall into REM sleep as a result of both the Enterprise and the aliens being trapped inside of the anomaly.

Answer: The Naked Now

The intoxicating 'disease' had caused one of the engineering crewmembers to unwisely remove all of the isolinear chips out of a panel in engineering. As a result, engines could not be engaged. But thanks to some persuasion on the part of Picard, an intoxicated Wesley disables the repulsion field generated by his miniature device to allow Data to enter the section with the removed chips. Data is successful in placing the chips back one at a time so that the Enterprise can finally flee the fragment of the dwarf star that had collapsed and had already destroyed the science vessel, the place where the 'disease' had originated.

In "The Masterpiece Society", although the Enterprise crew is helping the humans in the biosphere to divert the stellar core phenomenon from making impact with their planet, the Enterprise itself isn't in any danger of colliding with the stellar core.

In "I, Borg", although the approaching Borg cube on its way to intercept the Enterprise could be seen as an object of potential collision, Data isn't performing any kind of necessary routine involving the realignment of computer chips in order to prevent the Enterprise's encounter with the Borg cube.

In "Clues", although Data is under suspicion of deliberately withholding information regarding the Enterprise's entry through the wormhole, the realignment of computer chips isn't something he does in this episode either. It's later discovered that he does, however, release an airborne chemical to revive the crew after being stunned by the energy field during the ship's initial entry into the wormhole.

Answer: Masks

Amidst all of the bizarre transformations happening to the Enterprise as a result of the alien artifact having rewritten the ship's computer, Geordi's VISOR manages to stay on his face throughout this entire episode. In "Skin Of Evil", when the away team comes to the planet in an attempt to rescue Troi, the malevolent tar-like creature Armus uses some form of telekinesis to flip Geordi's VISOR off, just one of the many ways Armus was demonstrating that it was in total control and could do whatever it wanted.

In "The Masterpiece Society", Geordi and the woman from the planet named Hannah had been working for hours in engineering on the modified tractor beam when Geordi stops to rest, removing his VISOR and allowing Hannah to see his blinded eyes.

A conversation between them then ensues regarding Geordi and what his role in the society down in the biosphere might have been had he been born genetically altered like the rest of them. In "Contagion", Geordi is running from engineering en route to the bridge to warn his crewmates about destroying the probe before it scans the Enterprise.

When he enters the turbolift, he suddenly gets tossed from side to side and knocked against the ceiling as the turbolift is malfunctioning. During one instance after Geordi falls flat onto the turbolift floor, his VISOR falls off his face, forcing him to have to feel around for it before gathering himself and continuing on towards the bridge.

Answer: The Outrageous Okona

After Picard has established communications with a couple of alien men from two different planets, both of whom want custody of Okona, the captain orders that Okona comes to the bridge, then calls for communications to be reestablished with the two men via split screen on the main viewer, enabling them, Picard and Okona to all be able to see and talk to each other. Picard and Okona are both on the Enterprise, of course, and the two men are on their respective spaceships all the while this dialogue is taking place.

In "Deja Q", although there are several aliens appearing in this episode--the space-faring Calamarain, Guinan, Worf, the aliens on the planet threatened by the moon, plus Q himself--Picard only speaks to the latter three, and only speaks directly to them individually and not at the same time in one large group.

In "Captain's Holiday", Picard does speak to several different aliens: first the Risian woman playing hoverball, then Vash, then the Ferengi named Sovak, and then the aliens from the future called the Vorgons.

But Picard is vacationing on Risa and not onboard the Enterprise whenever he's dealing with all of these aliens. In "Who Watches The Watchers?", the only aliens Picard is in dialogue with during the entire episode are the primeval Mintakans, who mistake him for being a supernatural god.
