How well do you remember the Star Trek episode “The Naked Time”?

En garde! How well do you know Sulu’s swashbuckling soirée in the stars?

 

Many original Star Trek episodes stand out as fan-favorites because of intriguing storylines, unique aliens or situations that let us see characters in a new light. 

The classic installment “The Naked Time” reveals what happens when an unknown alien substance lowers the inhibitions of Enterprise crewmembers to the point where they act on their wildest impulses. This naturally leads to delightful moments that have now become iconic parts of the franchise.

14 out of 15 right. I goofed on who Sulu called "Richelieu" on the bridge.

14/15 without breaking a seat. I missed the start time for the engines.

I would have liked to see crewman Riley in more episodes then he had.
Mirramanee RichLorn 32 months ago
Agreed! He was a very likeable character.
Lacey RichLorn 32 months ago
He got a little annoying pretty fast. He was also in the very first episodes that had a different feel to them.

George Takai was really into swordplay! Reportably, he went around the set plaguing, poking and prodding everyone around with his swordplay.
RichLorn ELEANOR 32 months ago
Rumor has it that is the reason why Scotty was never seen sitting down.
WilliamJorns ELEANOR 8 months ago
No, that rumor came about because George was leaping around behind the sets between takes, practicing his swordfighting moves. Someone heard all the noise he was making, and peered behind the scenery to see what was going on. As they looked behind the walls, they accidentally stepped in front of George making a leap, and almost got stabbed (they didn't, though).

Just for that, they should beam you into the Klingons' engine room along with a bunch of tribbles!

You got 12 out of 15 - You were as sharp as Sulu's blade on this quiz. Great job! Not my best effort but I will take it.

Well, I blew # 12. No engineering job for me this life. Easy & amusing otherwise. :)

12 is wrong, I distinctively remember Scotty saying I'VE GOT TO HAVE 45 MINUTES
Snickers Randall 33 months ago
No. it is correct. Scotty tells Kirk he needs 30 minutes. If you watch the episode you will see the scene between Kirk and Scotty in engine room.
RichLorn Randall 33 months ago
Scotty was frightened. He had to have 30 minutes for the engines and 45 minutes in the bathroom.

"I've got to have 30 minutes!"
Mirramanee Randall 32 months ago
It was 30 minutes. I recall him saying you can't change the laws of physics in that same scene.

UHURA [OC]: Entering planet's outer atmosphere, sir.
SCOTT: Captain.
KIRK: What is it?
SCOTT: He's turned the engines off. Completely cold. It will take thirty minutes to regenerate them.
UHURA [OC]: Ship's outer skin is beginning to heat, Captain. Orbit plot shows we have about eight minutes left.
KIRK: Scotty!
SCOTT: I can't change the laws of physics. I've got to have thirty minutes.

15/15!

I started watching the reruns in the ‘70’s on channel 9, Chicago’s very own WGN and it was forever before I actually ever had seen a complete episode as channel 9 ran the show from 6:30 to 7:30pm. At 7pm, it was time for the shows on channels 2, 5, and 7!

12 / 15, I missed a few. Should have done better, I have seen the episode a few times.
