As far as I understood the rules of this game, one asks a question and whoever gives the correct answer is entitled to ask the next question.

So if you know the episode ... you only need to answer correctly to my question. Fair enough though, the answer to who it is, would be answer enough.

mentat IMHO this is the random star trek trivia quiz.

the first question asked IIRC was, "how does picard take his tea?"
Answer, "Tea Earl gray hot."

Therefore in this game answers do not have to be an episode title just any free form answer. However, some answers may be episode titles but 42 would be just as exceptible.

It seems my post might read differently form what I have tried to say. It is exactly what I meant, Peter. When I referred to the episode in my post, I just meant, that if one knows what episode/film the question is connected with, it should be easy to answer the question.

I guess two questions are a quite beyond the boundary of this game, but for once I am Romulan, and then a question can already be part of the answer itself.
Come on people.... this was an easy one.

Don't make me post the answer :wink:

Well, umm how do I tell it. You are actually not completely right Thunder. But then, I find it close enough.

The correct answer would have been "Korgano"(the Moon). Masaka(the Sun) would have been the one he(Korgano) was not chasing anymore. As result, she started to become a threat for her environment (in this case the Enterprise). And yes it is TNG "masks".

For those of you interested where the writer took the idea from:
Sun and Moon are the two most commonly worshiped stellar objects on earth. In Mesopotamia and Eqypt, those two were always potraited as powerful deities(not unlike later in all cultures that derived from those two). At first both were symbolized only by a pictograph, that displayed how they appeared to men, e.g. a crecent symbol (horns of the bull) for the moongod (Nanna). In time they were displayed in humanoid forms, though their status as deity was still indicated by the symbol above their heads. Such are the symbols meant for Masaka and Korgano, as they are shown in the pictographs and on the masks. One could muse that wearing a specific mask would elevate any humanoid to the respective deity.

This episode is actually the reason why I ever started watching TNG. I disliked the "new" Star Trek for quite some time, but this episode served as an icebreaker. In retrospect, I am quite glad that I became fond of Picard and his crew after all.

Now you better come up with something equally challenging. ;)

Well thunderchero answered correctly, but passed his turn to "the next one who post" which was anjel.

So, anjel I guess it's your turn.

In other words, anyone, go for it.

Well.... that's hard to answer. I guess I'd say three.

7of9 has worn one. Picard become a drone, then was freed and put back on the uniform. And future Ichib wore one in that Voyager episode where parts of the ship were from past, present or future.

I know 8

to the ones eber3 already told. you have Janeway, Belanna and Tuvok, and then these two women from Unimatrix Zero and Unity. although the one from Unimatrix Zero is still in the collective. So the correct answer should be 7.

@Mentat I found your words quite informative. So I guess the game got stuck because noone knew whose turn it was ;)
