These questions are really not hard if you know the series.

Post your results and approximate times here.

I got 10/10 in ~25 seconds.

<--- Confirmed nerd.

10/10...way too easy.

Here is a good question:

What is the "Riker maneuver"?

[Klendathu]

Ya, pretty easy. 10/10

[Portasaurus]

Is the Riker maneuver where he feigned an actual emergency in order to gain a tactical advantage over Picard when they were doing that one training mission?

[moklianne]

I'm probably wrong, but I believe it was how he got Picard back from the Borg. I can't remember the exact tactic though.

[Klendathu]

It's the stunt he pulled in the Briar patch on Insurrection

[Zadrian]

Eh I couldn't remember Troi's mothers name so 9/10 =\

[Portasaurus]

[Ahldagor]

10/10. Wish they'd done more with Ro Laren rather than using her as a pawn to intro DS9

[Greegon]

wow that was way too ez... hehehe at tanagra

[Champion_Standing]

Way too easy

Ro Laren? Yuck. Horrible. Just horrible. Then again I always hated the Bajorans. Bunch of whiny little wimps. The first 2 seasons of DS9 made me wish the Cardassians had won that war.

It was actually due to a back injury Jonathan Frakes had that prevented him from twisting when sitting. Source, Wil Wheaton AMA.

Anyways I always noticed it when I watched all of TNG, never seemed that strange to me. It was in line with Riker's personality as well, confident, uncaring, and attempted smoothness :p

Major Kira took a long time to grow on me too. Not sure I ever really liked her. Too emotional I think, all Bjorans are guilty of that though. Emotion over logic, they're like the anti-Vulcans. The heavily religious aspect to their story line didn't help their case.

Ro Laren I liked, her interaction with Picard was always intriguing and she seemed to have real spirit instead of just crying or shouting every time something doesn't go her way (like Kira, happened less and less as DS9 went on and she grew as a person).

Hmm, other Bjorans..? I liked the political figure that Kira was involved with for a while until his death, iirc.

I think the most likable enemy in DS9 were the Vorta, specifically Weyoun.

Never liked the Ro episodes...the relationship was too cliche and the did it with Paris in Voyager. One of the better episodes with Riker was the one where he was having the hallucinations, going back and forth from the ship to the asylum. His hair got crazier and crazier by the minute.

Garak would be my fav character. Snappy one liners ftw!

[Shamalam]

Shaka! When the walls fell!

mr. wheaton eh...
now i'm wondering if he had to clear that sitting action with the director/s.
