NEW question.

Give some information on the Venus drug.

(And why may it be useless after all?)

The Venus drug appeared in the original series.

(I wonder where our original series mavens went?)  

[Maddy]

It seems I'm not the only one not remembering about the Venus drug. sweatdrop

After a lot of thinking I'm able to say who used to sell it. But nothing more than that.  

[Steel Sterling]

Well, if that's all you remember, say it.
Do you remember what it did?  

[Maddy]

Steel Sterling

Well, if that's all you remember, say it.
Do you remember what it did?

Harry Mudd used to sell it.
Can't remember very accurately, but if involved Harry Mudd it must have been something concerning women and being pretty...

I think I remember something from the episode... *thinks very hard* There was a guy on a kind of deserted kind of planet and he bought a beautiful woman from Harry but then she got ugly or something (less pretty more likely). So I guess the drug had something to do with the woman. sweatdrop

I guess I'll need to keep thinking.

CORRECT!
The episode was "Mudd's Women."
Harry Mudd was running a "mail-order bride" business for lonely miners
on a dilithium colony or thereabouts.

The women were very pretty. The catch was that they were taking the
Venus drug, which meant that wasn't them "as they were."

The twist at the end of the episode was one woman who took another
dose, and it had the same effect as always-
but she had taken a PLACEBO.
Her beauty was more a matter of her self-confidence and attitude than
a matter of taking an illegal drug.


Ok, TOS questions are not so popular now....  

[Maddy]

Where did all the other players go, anyway?

I'm going to start thinking I really scare people off the threads. sweatdrop

You haven't scared me off at least. I just haven't known the answers to the last few questions and the questions I've asked have been too hard, too easy, or been asked before, so I just decided to wait until there was a question I could answer.

I'll try again though....

Since we have some self-proclaimed Klingon-fanatics on here, let's try a Klingon-themed question from TNG.... (Three easy questions were combined into one to make it not so easy....)


True or False:

Klingons have 22 ribs, a 6-chambered heart, and 4 livers.

[YoukaiLuvr]

Are my questions not popular or something? 'Cause it seems like no one will answer them....

Or is it because I'm getting them from a book? If so, I apologize, but I can't think of ones on the level that the rest of you do....

Just wondering.... emo

I can say it's false. But don't ask me exactly how... I'll be hard pressed to answer that. I do believe that the ribs number was not a pair one, that's as far I'm willing to guess.

Sorry. I was waiting to see if someone popped up to answer more precisely. I generally have to think a bit before coming up with the answers. It has been a while since I watched any of the shows, and a lot more since I studied Klingon.

It's not that the questions aren't popular... it's that we're only 3 in the thread playing. sweatdrop

That's good enough for me, I guess. The full answer is that they have 23 ribs, an 8-chambered heart, and 2 livers. The questions in the book were individual - one on each organ...thought it was too easy.

Let's try again....

In the episode "Our Man Bashir," what did Garak tell Julian he'd never been taught in the Obsidian Order? (hint: 6-word phrase)

Sorry about the other question. I used to be able to remember a lot more of stuff.


Now this is one of my favourite episodes... and those are my two favourite characters (with Worf and Jadzia closely behind, followed by... wait you don't want to know that, just the answer. sweatdrop sorry).

If my translation skills doesn't fail me the sentence would be: kiss the girl, get the key. confused Both of them have good lines in that episode, but it must be that one...  

[Steel Sterling]

That episode does not get NEARLY enough airplay.
I didn't know the answer to that one.
(I knew the episode....)  

[Steel Sterling]

NEW question.

Bashir once told Garak the tale of "the Boy Who Cried Wolf."

What did Garak think the 'moral' of the story was?

Don't tell the same lie to the same people more than once? confused Something around those lines anyway, I believe.
