Re: TD 270: Back to Basics
I have never watched anything Star Trek so this was a guess for me. In one of George Takei's many interviews on Howard Stern he stated he was a captain but I didn't recall which ship.mahatma wrote:Wasn't Sulu in command of the Enterprise (at least temporarily), in the last ST movie?dnbguy wrote:4.

Re: TD 270: Back to Basics
Was he a Captain, or just in command? Kirk has left Scotty in command before in TOS, but I didn't see him listed as an unused answer. (Scott would also later be promoted to Captain as well, which adds a whole degree of timing. Do they have to hold rank of Captain at the time they're in command?)dott888 wrote:I have never watched anything Star Trek so this was a guess for me.

And then are we talking Captain, rank, or captain, officer of the deck?
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Re: TD 270: Back to Basics
I'd imagine it would have to be the rank captain (held at the time), otherwise there'd be tons of additional answers - it might almost be, who hasn't been in command of the Enterprise at some point? (Other than Worf, I think every TNGer was in command at some point for example?)Volante wrote:Was he a Captain, or just in command?

Sulu was never in command of the Enterprise in ST6 - he was on the Excelsior the whole time.

Great game, dnbguy! Surprised by several of those sheep, particularly astatine, but what else is new?
Congrats to the winners!

Re: TD 270: Back to Basics
Not all that relevant, ultimately. Just because the someone else has the bridge doesn't mean that they are "in command". That responsibility still lies with the Captain unless and until he is properly relieved (as Captain Jellico did in "Chain of Command").Volante wrote:Was he a Captain, or just in command?

Re: TD 270: Back to Basics
Hey, I finished in the top half! Not bad for a game in which I had to guess twice because I had no clue for 4(!) questions.
Congrats to the podium finishers, and thanks for a great game, dnbguy!
And about those guesses...

And about those guesses...
Spoiler
One was San Francisco. I almost went with Denver!
The other one was astatine. It's come up on Pointless a few times, and I use it in the Pointless app whenever seaborgium, samarium, yttrium, or ytterbium are unacceptable for whatever reason. I thought it might be a metal and was hoping it might be an alkali too. After I submitted, I did the following, with a little time between each step:

I thought it might be a metal and was hoping it might be an alkali too. After I submitted, I did the following, with a little time between each step:
- Googled astatine, saw that it's not even a metal.
- Googled manganese, which I knew was a metal, saw that it wasn't an alkali, was relieved that I would have been wrong either way.
- Googled 'alkali metal' just to find out what the heck they are, saw lithium (which I was pretty sure was right and would sheep).
- Googled halogen to find out what they are.
- (much later) Realized that because it was right, it would probably be the sheep. But I'm still pretty happy with my luckiest guess ever.

Hi All....
I just want to thank you all, and especially to Mrs Rusty. She told me about this and she gave me a prior quiz to try. Thought it was fun, and entered this one.
Truly surprised with a win my first time, and I'll try to be back for more in the future.
I will confess....thank God for the Drop....I probably don't know a single Taylor Swift song to save my life.
Best to you all and I'll see you around.

This is the correct interpretation. Spock was captain of the Enterprise at the start of Wrath of Khan.
