Respectable, but I think the fact that I found errors should increase my score.  And I should get bonus points for having spent hours with my significant other deciding which of our mutual friends matched which characters. |
I agree, I took issue with a few questions... seems the writer of the quiz forgot about the animated series... there was a tribble episode in that one too! Plus, the Sisko rank question was a bit of a trick... he entered on the first episode as a Lt. Commander as first officer on the USS Saratoga during the blip of the battle at Wolf 359 with the Borg (the fact that I remembered that off the top of my head for Rhapsody was really funny *snicker*), then he started the show as a Commander, and finally got a promotion to Captain during the show. |
LOL yes, I think the fact that I asked you questions about it yesterday gave me the rank of Lieutenant. I love Star Trek, but Firefly, X-files ect ect too

We used to play this game in college with TOS - to see who could identify the episode by title first - preferably in the first 6 seconds and certainly by the first commercial break.
I usually won - and I'd like to thank the academy, and my older brother who was the real trekie in the house.

I got exactly the same score. Which is weird since I haven't really had my 'Trek' thing for ages now. For some reason I was born with a memory for trivia (but not important stuff, alas.) I fall down on my DS9 knowledge though cause I lost track of it after about three seasons.

Ooo, I was just thinking about the promotion; I didn't even consider the flashback. Good catch. That's why you're a captain.
Also, if I remember correctly, I believe the runabouts were the Ganges, Rio Grande, and Yangtzee-Kian (right?), and that combination of names wasn't one of the possible answers.

DS9 is actually where I do best; TNG and the original series are up there too, but secondary. Everything after DS9 is mostly absorbed from friends' reminiscences and one lazy afternoon I spent with my neighbors, who had, for some reason, rented the first season of "Enterprise" from Netflix. (My laziness wore off when I realized they had no intention of stopping after 3 episodes, and I went home.)

I started off really into DS9, and actually watched the first episode soon as it was released at a convention in Glasgow. I honestly can't remember why I lost track of it. Maybe it was because I moved down south (and therefore didn't have access to my uncle's satellite tv channels) in the middle of it, or maybe something else attracted my interest away from sci-fi - I know I had a little foray into another fandom for a few years at the end of high school - but I just stopped watching. I watched Voyager and was really into that to begin with, until about halfway through season two then it started to annoy me with the way they paced the episodes. Enterprise, I watched a couple. If there was nothing else on.
I do tend to watch Voyager a lot now, but that's mainly because on UK Sky TV, it's on like every day at the time I get home from uni and am looking for anything to give me background noise while I work / cook dinner, so I know a lot about it through osmosis, heh.

Yea the Nile kept sticking in there and I think the proper one was the last choice... it was all rivers and such. I think the person wasn't up on all their trek trivia and should have chosen other questions like name all the captains who have had been assigned a ship with the name Enterprise.

This means you're: Lieutenant
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What does it mean?
You watch one or two series, but you don't try to impress your neighbors with your trivia knowledge. You're a fan, but you try not to take it too far.
Not too bad, and just a bit geeky But i argue with the comment about not wanting to spread it with my friends as it wasn't my fault I became a trekkie! My parents taped EVERY TNG episode when I was growing up, so i couldn't really help growing to love it, and then DS9 followed and Voyager...so I kind of inherited my love for it if that's possible...?  |

Sure thing! Even though my parents weren't specific trekkies, I did see a lot of TNG at home, DS9 followed naturally and I saw Voyager up to season 4... but then I kinda got fed up with it. The same with Enterprise though, I was so disappointed at the beginning of season 3 that I quit watching. But DS9 has my love the most... Jadzia Dax and Benjamin Sisko the most

The only time I have ever cried at a startrek episode was the one when Jadzia died, I mean, they just killed her in the most horrible way when she and Warf were gonna have a baby finally, I mean how horrible was it?
I really liked Sisko and Kira as well, she was a really great character. |

Yea my dad is a trekkie (though not as hardcore) and watched all the TOS crew movies when I was a kidlet... Star Trek IV (Alameda!) was known to me and my sis as "The Whale Movie". My grandpa was a big fan of TOS back in the day so my mom had it around when she was growing up but never quite got into it.
As for DS9, loved it all the way up until Jadzia died and they got that annoying chick to play the new Dax. Just killed it for me. Voyager was managable... only watched it really because it was the only new Trek on at the time. Enterprise: watched first episode one of my first nights in the college dorm... was really annoyed with the blatant sex stuff of rubbing each other up in the decontam room. Gave up in season 2. EEEEEEEVIL. BLASPHEMY!
Don't get me started on the Scott Bakula stories either that I have since he lives near where I grew up and I have seen him on occasion in not so good of a light. Don't want to ruin the Sam Beckett view many of us have of him.
