Janus Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Wow, I knew that some of the questions were tough and a little esoteric, but I thought that somebody would know some of them. I'll give it another day and then give the answers. Quote
freeztar Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Those are tough Janus. I'll give one of them a shot though... 3. Besides Kirk, who else has been either shown as or mentioned as captain of the NCC-1701 I seem to recall Bones being captain after Kirk left, but part of me wants to say Chekov. It's been quite a while since I've watched any ST. Quote

freeztar Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Ah yes, Decker, from the first movie. Who was Captain Pike? Quote
Janus Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 1. How many times has the title "I Robot" been used?10 times, 9 stories and one movie, 11 if you count the song Incorrect. You apprear to be countng each story in Asimov's collection individually, and the whole collection counts as one. You are also missing some. ( I will give a little wiggle room as to what should be included (Such as the album), but you are missing some essential ones. 2. What two characters were not in the original un-aired pilot of "Lost In Space"?Dr. Smith and the robot correct 3. Besides Kirk, who else has been either shown as or mentioned as captain of the NCC-1701Captain Pike and Captain Decker Incorrect. (the one's you list are right, but they are not not all of them.) 4. What are the words to the chorus of "Home on Lagrange"?Home, home on LaGrange,Where the space debris always collects,We possess, so it seems, two of Man's greatest dreams:Solar power and zero-gee sex. correct 5. Who provided the voice for HAL 9000?Douglas Rain correct 6. What was the sequel to " From the Earth to the Moon"?Around the Moon correct 7. Who is Harry Stubs?Hal Clement correct 8. In the blooper reel from the first season of STTNG, where did Data say that the Stargazer was built and how did he say it?Bedford Falls Partial credit, for full credit, how did he say it? (I'm willing to give partial credit due to the obscurity of this question and the fact that if you know the first part, you probably know the second.) 10. What was the name of the first human ship to encounter the Kzinti?Angel's Pencil correct 11. What element did Coeurl exact from his victims in order to feed?Their ID, in this case that was organic phosphates correct 12. Who was captain of the Bree?Barlennan correct 14. What town claims to be the future birthplace of James T. Kirk?Riverside, Iowa correct 9 out of fifteen and one partial credit for a score of 63% Quote
Janus Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Ah yes, Decker, from the first movie. Who was Captain Pike? Captain Christopher Pike. Captain of the Enterprise prior to Kirk, and as seen in the episode, "The Menagerie"(TOS) Quote
Janus Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Okay, here are the answer's to the questions not already answered: 1. How many times has the title "I Robot" been used?A:As stated, There's a little wiggle room here, The album and arcade game and Cory Doctorow story are borderline cases1. 1939 short story by Eando Binder2. 1590 collection of stories by Asimov3. 1964 "The Outer Limits" episode (adaptation of Eando Binder story)4. 1977 Alan Parsons Project Album (based on Asimov collection5. 1983 arcade game (no tie-in)6. 1995 "The Outer Limits" episode (re-adaptation of 1964 episode)7. 2004 Movie 8. 2005 short story by Cory Doctorow9.2009 novel by Howard S. Smith. P.S. I want to make a little point here. the 2004 movie was not based on the Asimov stories. It started as a totally idea and then some of the elements of the Asimov stories were later inserted into the existing script. 3. Besides Kirk, who else has been either shown as or mentioned as captain of the NCC-1701A: In order of being captain:1. Robert April (The Counter-clock Incident, Aminated series)2. Christopher Pike (The Menagerie, TOS)3. James Kirk (TOS)4. Will Decker (ST: The Motion Picture5. Spock (At the start of ST: The Wrath of Kahn) 8. In the blooper reel from the first season of STTNG, where did Data say that the Stargazer was built and how did he say it?A:"Bedford Falls", In his best Jimmy Stewart impression. 9. What is a 'dane?A: Contraction for "mundane", the term in SF fandom meaning a quest of the Hotel who is not a member of the Convention.(IOW, the people who give you the funny looks in the elevator) 13. In 1967, The Science Fiction Writers of America voted to give special awards to deserving stories written before the inception of the Nebula. Which short story received the most votes?A: "Nightfall", by Isaac Asimov 15. What is the significance of lime jello?A:A time honored legend of SF fandom. Years ago, a well known SF writer stated during a convention that, in his opinion, the sexiest thing in the world was a bath tub full of lime jello. When he returned to his hotel room later, he found that some enterprising fan(s) had somehow gotten into his room and... you guessed it... filled his bath tub with lime jello. Quote
