Do You Know Enough?

[davebro]

about any single subject to be a contender on Mastermind?

I know a lot of trivia but a dozen random questions on a single subject. I think I would struggle.

[ToraToraTora]

PS, I looked up no 3 and I new the actor and the episode in question but wasn't aware of the connection to Max Headroom. ok here's my 5 for you. TBF I think these questions and the ones you set me are tougher than what they'd ask on mastermind for a subject this wide.
1. Which M*A*S*H character/actor appeared in a STNG episode?
2. Which 2 A team actors appeared in STNG episodes?
3. Robert Duncan McNeil plays Tom Paris in Voyager, what was his character in 1 episode of STNG?
4. Who Killed Tasha?
5. What is the Borg species number for humans?

sunk: "You chatted Trek a few times with me as Gromit." - it's good you've come out!

I think I have an absurd amount of knowledge of 70s Funk, plus thousands of records, so I reckon I'd be pretty successful with this as my specialist subject (I hadn't even reached a two digit-age in the 70s - my obsession started in the mid-80s as a teenager, and whilst I no longer collect, it's still about the only music I listen to).

Anything to do with birds or plants will leave me stumped - my knowledge of both is embarrassingly thin.

[Sunk]

I haven’t done very well.

1. Don’t know his name, but he was the scientist bloke who Troi’s mother had designs on.

2. I can only think of one, Dwight Shultz as Reg Barclay.

3. Again,I don’t know the character name, but he was Wesley Crusher’s co-accused in the SF Academy inquiry into flying accident.

4. One I definitely know. The Armus (the Skin of Evil).

5. I don’t know the Borg number. I remember Species 8472 from Voyager, but it wasn’t that.

I make that 1 and 3 quarters :-(

As mentioned, I also have an absurdly detailed knowledge of music, but I think it's the speed of recall that separates the men from the boys in quizzes - and that's really hard when it's on tv - that's why intelligent people become numpties on things like The Chase, it's not that they are stupid, its nerves that makes them freeze or blurt out random wrong answers.

[Sunk]

Just Googled.

1. Timicin. I would never have got that
2. Melinda Culea. I confess I have never heard of her.
3. Nicholas Lacarno. Nope.
4. Dwight Schultz
5. Species 5618. I should have known that because I have seen ‘Best of Both Worlds’ many times.

Sunk/Tora, I got three of those Trek questions (1,4 and 5) and I don't consider myself a Trekker. More an all round geek, with a specialty in the form of the original Star Wars trilogy. Reckon I could.do pretty well with the MCU as well.

[Mozz71]

Sorry, the above was for the first set of questions.

The second, David Ogden Stiers and Dwight Schultz. I cant think of a second A-Team actor in TNG, unless it's someone from the film version.

[Sunk]

Mozz71,
Well done on my questions. I think Tora’s were harder.

[Mozz71]

I agree. Much harder.

[ToraToraTora]

I think they are all to hard for MM, I've seen someone do TOS on MM and I got them all. Can't remember STNG being on there. The 2nd A team character is a tough one because she was in the first series of the A-Team as Amy and only in one episode, Dwight Shulz is much easier as he is in several episodes and also in Voyager as Reg Barclay.

[ToraToraTora]

ok I'll do an easier quiz for the less than obsessive! I'll do a CB thread so we don't disrupt this one further.
