Star Trek Trivia

[YoukaiLuvr]

Oro...this one might have been done before (I think it has and I've commented on/answered it....), but I thought I'd post it anyway to get us back in the swing of things.

(I have a really good one waiting at home from my trivia books...but I can't remember all of it...grr....)

Anyway....

On Voyager, three people were revealed to have animal Spirit Guides. Can you name the person and his or her animal? (Bonus point if the gender of the animal is known as well, though I'm not sure that's said for all three.)


Random quote for the day:

"I have a boyfriend that malfunctions."

- Capt. Janeway about Michael in the holo-program, Fair Haven

Animal guides.

Chakotay seemed to have one, Janeway's was a little lizard, and Torres
tried to kill hers when she met it, but if they said what it was, I didn't hear.

Good question though.

Since it's been about 5 days since I asked it and only Steel has attempted it, I'll answer it and clear it.

Steel - you got the people right - Chakotay, Kathryn, and B'Elanna. Kathryn's was a lizard.

Chakotay's was a doe.
Kathryn's was a little sarcastic thing...male, I think.
B'Elanna's was a bear - though they never said the gender.

Bonus! What was the name of Katrine's cafe? (or the translation, if you can't remember the French name....)

Mou...why won't anyone answer the question about The Killing Game? It's not like it's hard or anything.... crying crying It's one of my fave epis...thought it'd be fun....  

[Miral Paris]

Kathryn - Katrine
Chakotay - Captain Miller
Tom - Bobby Davis
B'Elanna - Brigette

Answer to "The Killing Game" question:

Kathryn - Katrine
Chakotay - Captain Miller
Tom - Bobby Davis
B'Elanna - Brigette
Seven - Mademoiselle de Neuf

Yup! And the translation of Katrine's cafe is "The Heart of the Lion." Fitting, ne? (Or "The Lion's Heart"...something like that, anyway...I don't have the book with me and I can't remember the French spelling.)

Okay, it's someone else's turn! I'd like to try and answer one this time!

NEW question!

This question is NOT that hard. However, it's a question that will require a
little thinking on your own.


Hard science tells us that hybrids of animal species are rare, and usually
sterile- like the "mule".

Hard science tells us that hybrids of animal species-unless they're in the same
genus and nearly identical- are impossible. It didn't take long to find proof
that story of the cat who supposedly had puppies was a hoax.


However,
in Star Trek, we see "hybrids" of different humanoids all the time-
1/2 human, 1/2 Betazoid, 1/2 human, 1/2 Vulcan, 1/2 human, 1/2 Klingon,
1/2 Klingon, 1/2 Romulan, 1/2 Bajoran, 1/2 Cardassian....

In Star Trek, there's a defense from science. How would a fan deflect
the claim that these humanoid species are too far apart and unconnected-
being from different parts of the GALAXY- to possibly interbreed?

There's a legitimate scientific defense from an episode.  

[-[.Moo.]-]

Has it got something to do with compatable physiologies?
At least that's what K'ehlyr (sp?) mentioned when she was first introduced in TNG.

It would be impossible to interbreed unless they all stemmed from the same basic species. Like, dogs come in all shapes and sizes, but they can breed pretty with each other no problem.

Was there a super- race that colonized a load of planets and evolved over time?
Or is it something to do with some ancient god-like entity...
Meh, anything's possible in ST.

As -[.Moo.]- said, there's the common origin of all humanoid species thing.

But there wasn't also some mention in DS9 about medical help to interspecies breeding? I think I remember Jadzia and Julien discussing something like that some few episodes before her demise.

You'll have to get specific about what you mean.

This isn't the direction I'm going with this.  

[Maddy]

I'm sorry, Imzadi, but I can't be more specific without searching online for the answer.

All I can say is:
There was a TNG episode where they found that all humanoid species share a common "alien" origin. This "alien" left traces of their DNA, or something like that, throughout the galaxy. And from there all the different humanoid species were developed.

It was a "scientific" way to explain the humanoid look of almost all ST races.


For anything more specific, I'd need Google. sweatdrop  

[YoukaiLuvr]

Yeah...I went to my bf - Rynon Hoshiyama - (he's part of Gaia, but not in the guild yet) and that is about what he said...though he mentioned the specific name of the phenomenon and that it was TOS. Dunno if my bf's help is legit or not to use...I was stumped, too....
