Sci-Fi Trivia Quiz

Couple means two. Go for it.

(Unless, of course, "couple" means you and two babes. )

You stumped me a bit on this one...

I have a couple of educated guesses. How many can I take?

*Rattles the sci-fi trivia quiz junkies' cages*

Okay, this is for you fans of Babylon 5.

The Mitchell-Hyundyne SA-23E Starfury is always known to carry 4 main guns forward, plus two in the rear. In the beginning of the TV movie Thirdspace, it was also shown carrying 8 missiles. Despite the heavy gun armament, only the two lower guns have ever been depicted in use throughout the series. Why?

Boy and his dog. Blood was a telepathic mutt who has to teach Vic and score him some babes.

Boom! With the quickness.

You are correct Jagdwolf. Your turn.

Easy one:

Who were Vic and Blood, and what made Blood so special?

Peeking at my Captain Scarlet DVD set, were you, Cosmic?

Over to you, lad.

After that answer, all I can say is this...

SIG

(Spectrum Is Green)

Good one. "Angels! Immediate launch!"

The show was Captain Scarlet, starring a literally unkillable hero. Was my favorite when I was real little. Exceptionally violent for a kids show, it totally warped my fragile little mind.

The angels were: Harmony, Symphony, Melody, Rhapsody and Destiny.

Real names: Chan Kwan, Karen Waiwright, Magnolia Jones, Dianne Simms, and Juliette Pontoin.

(I actually remembered the musical themed ones, but I had to Google-cheat to get Destiny and the real names..)

This will be definitely older than most of the members here in this forum.

The Spectrum Angel Interceptors are flown by whom, and give their callsigns and real names.

nope thats not the source I was going with, but close enough. on to you Jagdwolf.

Don't think it has been, smeagol.

If Puma is using the Star Trek Roleplaying Game: Starship Combat Game as his source, then the revised Federation Ship Recognition Manual lists the Mk I Excelsior class battleship as 467 metres in length with a crew complement of 810 personnel. The Mk II version boasts a smaller complement of 802 crew.

Indeed..

When we first see Excelsior in The Search For Spock, she is a prototype and a test bed for the unproven Transwarp drive, and if I recall correctly, carries NX-2000.

After the failure of the transwarp experiments, she is refitted with conventional warp drives and commissioned NCC-2000, under the command of Capt. Hikaru Sulu  as seen in ST:TUC

Hey, it's an official source folks, got to give himi that.

My source: http://www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/excelsior-blueprints.php

Not worried, though. Like BattleTech, not everyone agrees on measurements.

IIRC it was originally NX-2000, changed for ST:TUC to NCC.

& it was something like 460 something meters and some 700 crew members.

USS Excelsior, NCC-2000

Crew complement: 141 officers, 424 crew

Length: 590.6 metres

Ok. I don't have a good internet conection at my parents house so I have to use my friends computers.

here is the new question,

 Star Trek 3 introduced the USS Excelsior, what was her registry number, how many crew members did she have and how long was she from bow to stern?

I know we are using the crap out of the Trek questions, but its all I could think off. Good luck!! 

  Cool. No harm no foul. Whole thing just seemed to come to a stop, so I thought I'd give it a bump.

I didn't know he played a Klingon too, so that was a fun bit to learn.

Mark Lenard played the captain of the lead Klingon K't'inga-class heavy cruiser Amar in ST-TMP. (Some may call it a battlecruiser, but Roddenberry himself tagged it as a heavy cruiser in the novel.)
