Yes, it was General Chang. Kinda strange that it took till Star Trek VI for someone to say it. Ok, your turn for a question Kadath.

Kadath 05-05-2004 11:06 AM

This is a Star Wars Extended Universe question, so it might very well go unanswered.

Name the four members of next generation of Skywalker children.

PredeconInferno 05-05-2004 12:47 PM

Well, this could potentially be confusing, but I'm going to give it a go:

Jacen, Jaina, Anakin, Ben


My question:
What was the name of Darth Vader's Star Destroyer BEFORE Executor was built?

flagpole 05-06-2004 07:31 AM

was it the Devastator?

If it was, i'll use Fremens question, since i cant think of any others:

Fremen's Question:

The crysknife is made from the tooth of the shai-hulud, or sandworm. they disintegrate when not near someone.

flagpole 05-07-2004 09:56 AM

you need to ask a question pocon1 :)

pocon1 05-08-2004 09:02 PM

I know, But I cannot think of a question that would challenge you geeks.

pocon1 05-08-2004 09:29 PM

Ok, how about amazing stories.
The only episode I remember was directed and written by Steven Speilberg. In it, a bomber during ww2 loses its landing gear. If it crash lands, the gunner in the undercarriage bubble will be crushed. How does he survive?

Rodney 05-08-2004 09:45 PM

I think that the plane grows magic cartoony-looking anding gear after one of the crewmen on the plane draws them. After the plane lands, they have time enough to get the gunner out before the landing gear evaporate.

Here's an easy one: What's the name of the newspaper that most everybody reads on Babylon 5?

PredeconInferno 05-09-2004 06:37 PM

It wasn't Devastator, Flagpole, it was the Death's Head


Gah! I should know the B5 question 'cause I own the first two seasons.... all mad now.

Rodney 05-11-2004 03:33 PM

Okay, here's another one. In the first two Alien moves, what's the name of Ripley's cat?

Kadath 05-11-2004 06:27 PM

Jonesy.
"And you, you little shit, this time you're staying here." -- Ripley, Aliens

In The Fifth Element how many different people show up to claim Korben Dallas' tickets to Fhloston Paradise? Name them.

Moobie 05-12-2004 11:41 AM

Three... the little monk dude with the devo hat, the Mangalor (with the bald chick), and Zorg's assistant (wasn't he a DJ or something?)

In the movie Explorers, who played the geeky scientist kid?

That was River Phoenix.


next:

In Starship Troopers, why does Johnny Rico get 10 lashes?

primal 05-12-2004 09:05 PM

He got 10 lashes for ordering a trooper to remove his helmet during a live fire training exercise.

Name three characters played by Jeffery Combs on Star Trek.

Rodney 05-12-2004 10:09 PM

Weyoun (DS 9), Shran (Enterprise), and Brunt (DS 9).

Since we're on Star Trek: name two Star Trek characters who have made appearances in three different Trek series, not counting the animated series.

primal 05-12-2004 10:22 PM

Q in TNG, DS9, and Voy. Spock in TOS, TNG Unification and DS9 Trials and Tribulations.

Name 4 Galaxy Class starships.

Kadath 05-13-2004 06:58 AM

Enterprise, Yamato, Galaxy(duh), Odyssey.

I dunno. At what distance from the Rebel power generators on Hoth did the lead AT-AT fire and destroy them.

Plus Scotty and McCoy, in TOS, TNG (McCoy in the pilot, Scotty several seasons in), and DS9, in archival footage in the tribbles-revisited episode.

Kadath 05-14-2004 04:42 PM

It's been a day.

Rom (Ferengi) and Leeta (Bajoran)

In Babylon 5, who was the alien Sheridan met at Z'ha'Dum?

Rodney 05-15-2004 12:32 AM

Lorien.

Which B5 character is named after a very influential science fiction writer from the '50s? Another writer who JMS admired and emulated besides Rod Serling.

Rodney 05-23-2004 05:36 PM

It's been a damn week, I'll answer my own question: (Alfred) Bester, the PsiCop.

The movie Bladerunner: what Philip K. Dick novel was it based on (pretty damned loosely, but still..)?

Fremen 05-23-2004 05:50 PM

It was based on the novel "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"
(I seriously need to read more sci-fi books instead of just watching the films.)


next:

In Aliens, what does Bishop try to pass to Ripley at the mess hall table?

JohnnyRoyale 05-23-2004 06:57 PM

I believe Bishop offered his cornbread to Ripley, but I'm not entirely sure....

That's it. Well, the dish of cornbread. ;)
Your question, Johnny.

JohnnyRoyale 05-26-2004 01:35 PM

Ok, here's one:

Name three movies that were make based on Philip K. Dick stories, and (bonus) the name of the original story.

*hint* look earlier in this thread for a freebie.

Kadath 05-26-2004 07:58 PM

Easy! Wrote a paper on them in college
We can remember it for you wholesale -- Total Recall
Do androids dream of electric sheep -- Blade Runner
Second Variety -- Screamers

Next! What was the name of the human who worked with the Cylons on Battlestar Galactica?

Fremen 05-26-2004 09:28 PM

Baltar! (great actor, was John Colicos, played evil well) :)

next:

Who was Lukes' gunner that died during the Battle of Hoth?

primal 05-26-2004 09:34 PM

Dax?

Name the Alien race from Doctor Who that can only be killed by sticking something into a small hole in the back of their heads.

Close enough. It was Dack. :)

I have no idea about your question, though.


"Name the Alien race from Doctor Who that can only be killed by sticking something into a small hole in the back of their heads."

JohnnyRoyale 05-27-2004 03:02 PM

Sontarians (not sure on the spelling)

p.s. Kadath, I also would have taken Minority Report :)

Here's one:
All the major charaters in the X-Files TV-show are named after players of what professional sport? Looking for the sport name, not the name of any particular player.

Kadath 05-27-2004 08:16 PM

I chose to ignore the easy one! :)

JohnnyRoyale 05-31-2004 04:12 PM

Guess I asked a stumper there (or everyone's gone for the weekend)...the answer is baseball (which is featured in one episode)

Anyway, next question:

The ending scene of the original Blade Runner film has a fly-over of a mountain/tree area. This scene was added at the last minute by the producers, who were worried that an unhappy ending might upset audiences. The question is: what film's opening did they steal (or borrow) that scene from?

Kadath 06-07-2004 10:03 AM

You killed it! I try to bring it back!

What is Star Fleet's emergency frequency in the NG era?

JohnnyRoyale 06-08-2004 05:28 AM

Is it, Die?

Moobie 06-08-2004 03:41 PM

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. I always loved how horribly corny that scene was. What's the next question?

Fremen 06-08-2004 08:51 PM

In the series Firefly, who shoves the bad guy into the intake of Serenitys' engine?
(I think it was the intake.)

Pellaz 06-08-2004 09:20 PM

"Darn." *kick*-The ever lasting Captain Reynolds. Damn Fox to hell.

Also from Firefly: What's Jaynes favorite gun named?

Fremen 06-12-2004 01:37 AM

Give us the answer, Pellaz, and ask another question, please.

Moobie 06-14-2004 01:28 PM

Give me 50cc's of sodium pentathol stat! And hand me those shocker pad thingies that George Clooney uses.

New question:

Te wanna wanga?

Kadath 06-14-2004 04:05 PM

Te wanna whigoa..
We bring a message to your master, Jabba the Hutt...and a gift?

Moobie 06-30-2004 05:13 PM

Okay it's been a hundred years and this thread is cool so it time for some resurrection.

Kadath I'm not sure if that was a question, but I'll try to answer it anyway.

The gift he's talking about is C-3PO and R2 as gifts to Jabba the Hutt in exchange for an audience.

Next Question:

What was Newt's brother's first and last name in Aliens?

Kadath 06-30-2004 07:31 PM

Actually, Moobie, I was just responding to the previous question with the next line in the movie. Your question is quite good, though.

Fremen 07-17-2004 10:27 PM
