Geekest of the geeks

[luckykaa]

Went to the Geekest Link quiz last night.  

This month it was Ed's birthday so to celebrate, this was Star Trek themed.  Rounds based on Klingons, Jean Luc Picard,  the movie trilogy (Star Trek 2, 3, and 4), Starships (picture round), and General Nerdage.  Extra poitns for teams that came in costume.  There was an awesome team that had a Borg, a Tolosian, a Star Fleet officer, and what I think might have been a Vulcan robe.  

We came 5th, which wasn't too bad.  One team got every question right (first time ever), and another dropped a single point.  Also the mystery prize round went to a tie-breaker.  Closest answer won.  What Stardate was given at the start of Star Trek 2?  The winner knew it!

These are the questions we didn't get.  Have screened comments so you can have a go yourselves, and will unscreen them in the next day or so.  If anyone gets all of them right, they are hereby invited to join my team next month.  (Downside is this is on a Sunday evening and it's usually a school night).

Pass.
You got Trouble with Tribbles?
I'm down to Voyage Home or Star Trek. Let's say latter
Pass
I believe II had happened and they were searching to start III
Borg
At a guess Spock (Presuming Mudds disallowed)
Raven
Briar Patch might have got it for you
Can't recall episode but recall the boxing.

You got the ship right and Seven's parent's ship, and the Briar Patch.

Yes, we got Trouble with Tribbles for 1 (our of 2) points.

The only one I have a hope of answering is
General nerdage
2. The Raven.
Think that was the name of Annika's parents craft.

Well, you did get 100% of your guesses:)

WooHoo! :D

I cannot resist...

Klingons
1 Robert
2 Kor - The Trouble with Tribbles
Koloth - Errand of Mercy
Kang - The Day of the Dove
3 Star Trek II - The Wrath of Khan
Picard
1 Arbiter of Succession
Movie Trilogy
1 It was the third phase - don't remember if there was a specific name ("Gamma" or something)
Pictures Round
1 Borg - specifically the Lore's rogue Borg from The Descent
Nerdage
1 Got to be Data
2 Raven?
3 The Briar Patch (more of a nickname)
4 Bugs me - but I don't know - I think it was not a Q pun though... I do remember "He hit me! Picard never hit me!"

No look-ups but probably not fast enough for a quiz... I shall look forward to the answers!

Impressive. Only 2 and a half wrong.

Gowron was played by Robert O reilly
Genesis had reached stage 2
And the Q episode was Q-Less


And now I remember that ship!

Hmm, I'd have quibbled over the Genesis question: it had completed the second and they were about to start the third. The definition of "reached" is open to debate! (And Gaspode would have argued it for a good half-hour...).
I had intended to come back to Gowron (hence the half-answer) but wouldn't have remembered it anyway. We generally referred to him as "Ol' Beetle Brows" for some reason...
I am so ashamed I got a Voyager question right :)

They were probably a bit clearer when they asked the question. I'll give you that.

1. General Gowron = think that was Mark Sheppard's Dad, W Morgan Sheppard.

3. The one where Spock's brother takes them on a search for God?

Spaceship... Romulan?

Nerdage
1. Probably Spock

[luckykaa.livejournal.com]

None right. Sorry. STV had a klingon as one of the ambassadors on the planet.
