I thought they were election posters.
@Mill Lane: always some clown who turns everything back to the oul politicians “gag”
@thomas patrick: ahh come on Tom,, I’m a huge SC-FI fan,, but that was a good gag….:)
@Mill Lane: me too
10/10 love love love Star Trek.
@joanne healy: Kardashians? Hahahahha. They are aliens? I knew it!
@Arya: I have only ever watched keeping up with the Kardashians once, for about 5 minutes. I remember thinking someone had screwed up the spelling of cardassian, but was excited to think they might have their own spin off , as I enjoyed garak as a character. Yeah, I was very very disappointed when I learned the truth.
Never watched it. Got 7/10. Pretty happy with that.
@Burn_the_Witch: the force is strong in this one ( I did that on purpose ha ha ha ha)
@Burn_the_Witch: Tempted now?! Ah go on!
9 out of 10, ok for a Trekkie I guess. Oh, and Star Trek Picard episode one is outstanding!
@The Risen: agreed saw it last night.
I got 50/50 couldn’t ask a friend lol, hope Star Trek Picard will be on TV here soon.
@Mick McGuinness: watched it earlier, story has real potential and has plenty references for fans and some cool guest appeances. Stewart’s a class act. Definitely going on my weekly viewing list.
@Mick McGuinness: amazon prime only I’m afraid. Discovery season 1 only appeared on channel 4 about 3 years after first airing so I wouldnt wait that long
@Derek: the future is vast Derek
@Mick McGuinness: install Typhoon TV if you have an android device to watch it, handy app as I’ve found a lot of shows aren’t available outside US/Canada or not available here yet on Amazon or Netflix
@Mick McGuinness: Amazon Prime Video is 2.99 a month. Worth it for Picard.
10/10 though i did a rewatch of the entire franchise(shows and movies) in the last 6 months so everything is mostly fresh in my mind. Love Star Trek.
Actually sitting here after watching Voyager and now on TNG and still only got 7, sheesh!
@Tricia G: Voyager was class…
@Ricky: pity they didn’t have a final film w Voyager and DS9 crew
Rick Bergman made a balls of it all
@Quentin Moriarty: Voyager finale was very rushed, especially the last 10-15 minutes. And Enterprise wasn’t really any good. So looking forward to seeing what happened after Voyager ended.
You should have put a wrong answer to one of them and watch the internet break down.
8/10, thought I knew the show better
9/10 love it!!
Some options are plain ridiculous. Obviously little thought put into it.
@Phillip O’Brien: Have you ever kissed a girl?
@brefanlfc: A lot, yes; what’s your point.
7/10..make it so!
@Dominic Kenneally: say that to Alexa
8 outta 10.!!
Ok, only knew Q and that was because of James Bond..
10/10 Doesn’t happen often for me so I’m happy. Love Star Trek. Had to eliminate some wrong answers for a couple.
@: There are 4 lights!
3/10….thank God for that.
Star Trek the wrath of Khan
Nothing compares in the ST universe
“……when I swing around I mean to deprive you of life “
7/10 v happy with that. My wife is a massive Star Trek fan. Gonna send her the quiz now. Be great if I could beat her, would be like her beating me on a 24 quiz
@Ger Power: make sure and keep us all in the loop how she gets on Ger!!
First quiz where I ever got 10/10 and I’m not really a big fan. Only watched Next Generation
5/10 wats star trek
Get in, 10/10 on my 14th attempt. I knew I could do it!
@Lukevic101: perseverance Luke, fair play. As the old proverb says….”if at first you don’t succeed, give it a load more goes!!”
