The Iowa State University All-Star Trek Quiz Bowl Packet
by K. Michael Wilcox (kmwilcox@ccwf.cc.utexas.edu)

NOTES:  [Initials for the various series and films are used throughout
this packet.  When used within questions, it shouldn't be a problem, but
when listed under answers, judgment should be used for acceptable
alternatives.  For example, _Next Generation_ or _Star Trek: the Next
Generation_ are acceptable for TNG.  It's up to you if _NexGen_ is
enough.  TOS is the original series (An answer of _Star Trek_ should be
assumed to mean TOS.), and TAS is the animated series (Accept answers
with "animated" or "cartoon" in them.).]

Toss-Ups

1.  The first Trek role for this well-known actor was as St. John
(SIN-jun) Talbot, the Federation representative on Nimbus III in ST V.
He later played Klingon chancellor Gorkon in ST VI and Cardassian
torturer Gul Madred on TNG.  FTP, name the respected British actor also
known for roles on "Batman: the Animated Series" and _Time_Bandits_.
Answer:  David _Warner_

2.  Permanent exile for petty theft seemed awfully harsh, didn't it?  I
mean, the bit with Data could be called entrapment.  FTP, name this
time-travelling pseudo-historian who was stranded in the twenty-fourth
century when his time pod left him behind.
Answer:  Berlinghoff _Rasmussen_

3.  On Stardate 3468.1 the Enterprise was investigating the Beta
Geminorum star system, where they were stopped at planet Pollux IV (No,
they don't match.  This is TOS, after all.) by a giant floating hand.
FTP, name this episode in which the Greek god Apollo laments humanity's
loss of faith.
Answer:  _"Who Mourns for Adonais?"_

Note from Doug O'Neal (oneal@astro.psu.edu): Beta Geminorum is the 
greek-letter designation for Pollux.  So they do match; give the TOS people
at least that much credit.

4.  The first episode he directed for TNG was "Lonely Among Us,"
followed by "Hide and Q" and 24 more, making him the most prolific
director for the series.  FTP, name the man better known for his work on
both parts of "Best of Both Worlds."
Answer:  Clifford _Bole_

5.  The TNG stories "The Child" and "Devil's Due" had both originally
been written in the 1970's for this proposed syndicated series.  FTP,
name the aborted series which also provided the script "In Thy Image"
which was re-written into the script for Star Trek:the Motion Picture.
Answer:  _Star Trek II_

6.  He hit on Dax, who thought he was cute, and he's participated in
several of Quark's schemes, including painting voles for races, though
he's still not had an onscreen line.  FTP, name Quark's most regular
customer, whose name is an anagram for a similar character from another
show.
Answer:  _Morn_

7.  Recently, members of this "smart" race have been appearing in the
background on DS9, showing that they've become at least somewhat
accepted by the galactic community, though it's a fair bet Lore never
did, even after they saved him from an eternity in the vacuum of space.
FTP, name these beings who "look for things, things to make them go."
Answer:  _Pakleds_

8.  Diving off the Cliffs of Heaven on Cirrus IV and the much safer
Emerald Wading Pool on Sumiko III, horseback riding along the Kabul
River, skiing the Denubian Alps, and playing poker with three of
history's greatest minds are just some of the fun activities one can
try, FTP, in what area of Federation ships?
Answer:  _Holodeck_

9.  This character, first created for a toy, has had several run-ins
with Trek.  Alan Oppenheimer, who provided his voice for the Filmation
cartoon, appeared on TNG as a Klingon high priest and on DS9 as the
captain of the ill-fated Galaxy Class starship Odyssey.  Frank Langella,
who played the role on the big screen, was the villainous Bajoran
official in the DS9 Circle three-parter, and the mask he had used made
an appearance on Trek as part of Worf's calisthenics program.  FTP, name
this character, the nemesis of He-Man.
Answer:  _Skeletor_

10.  This San Francisco native was a physicist on the Enterprise before
taking his familiar bridge post.  He had a range of martial interests,
including handguns and fencing, as well as (generally) safer ones such
as botany.  He later got his own command, but was still able to help his
former crewmates foil a Federation-Klingon assassination plot.  FTP,
name this TOS regular, whose first name of Hikaru was not revealed until
ST6.
Answer:  Hikaru _Sulu_
