Stump the Admiral

[Adm_Hawthorne]

So, now that you've been stumped, are we continuing or is this the endgame (pun intended )?

Feel free to continue. I'll gladly try to take a shot at whatever you guys want to throw at me. Of course, if you the answer to something I don't, I'd love to know it. Frankly, I could use it to add to my personal database of useless knowledge!

Chakotay often has words of wisdom. At the end of an episode of Voyager, Chakotay makes a statement saying something to the effect of "Wishing it were as easy to stop as it was to start..."

What is he referring to?

Season 4
"Nemesis"

Luckyflux, short of watching the episode, I can't answer that. So, you've stumped me.

Joel_Kirk, I have no idea. You know I'd love to oogle 7 for four seasons to do that number count, but I don't have the time. You've stumped me!

Guy and kimc, all the suits were the same but in different colors. Poor Jeri was pushed into, basically, a corsett covered in spandex. It was horribly uncomfortable and often restricted her breathing, which caused her to be faint. Though I don't recall her actually fainting.

Actually, it was the Borg suit's collar.
It was pressing against the main artery in her neck causing her trouble breathing.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

I've heard her say that about the corsett but not the borg collar. I don't doubt you on that, though.

When I saw her in person, she said it was the Borg suit.


You got your peanut butter in my chocolate...

However, after seeing her in person.
Jeri is so skinny, I don't think her body had room for lungs.

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

She's very blessed with body she's got, to be sure.

You got the episode correct, but what is your answer?

He's referring to the Nemesis, which also happens to be the name of the episode.

He's brainwashed to believe that one group is horrible people. When you get the end, you find out the people he was brainwashed into thinking were beasts were actually the ones helping Janeway get him out of the warzone.

He's talking about how hard it was to deal with the fact that he had this irrational hatred of these people, and that it would take a long time, if ever, to stop hating them due to the brainwashing he just went through.

He was not referring to the Nemesis. He was referring to "Hatred" as you said later on in the post. His quote is "I wish it were as easy to stop hating as it was to start"

This is my favorite episode of Voyager too!

So you're right and wrong.....what do we do?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

Count it as a pass.


My favorite episode is "Counterpoint" followed closely by "Macrocosm".

Sounds good to me! OK here is another one...

What area of space does Neelix consider to be at the edge of his knowledge?

To put it another way, Neelix doesn't have any knowledge of the area of space after this?


I hope I worded that right.

In my head this thread has a theme song.

The lyrics are "Stump the admira"l repeated over and over again to the tune and music of the classic Hannah Barbara cartoon: "Catch the Pigeon".

I'm about as apt as Muttley (sp?), that sniveling hound, too! (Man, you guys throw hard stuff at me!)

 

[Admiral Shran]

How does one win a game of Kadis-kot?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

That's a sketchy answer at best. It would appear that you win by calling "Kadis-kot", but the fact is, we really don't know how the game is played. It reminds me a lot of that board game Othello. Do you remember that one? It's one of those strategic kinds of games...

Anywho, short answer is, we really don't know how to win a game short of the fact that the winner normally says "Kadis-kot" at the point of winning.

 

[Admiral Shran]

OH, I love Othello! When they said "A minute to learn, a lifetime to master" they weren't kidding.

Another Kadis-kot question for ya.... Where did the game orginate (as in - is it a Human game, a Talaxian game, a Bolian game, etc.)?

 

[Adm_Hawthorne]

That's a trick question, too. We don't really know. It's definitely a game that was played in the Alpha Quadrant because Voyager's crew knew how to play it. But... I think Neelix played it with some bloke in the Delta Quadrant, and I don't think he explained the game first, which would mean that the DQ also has it there.

That's kind of weird, isn't it? I mean, that would mean it was played in two different Quadrants that didn't have any real interaction for... well, forever. I mean, what's the likelihood that the exact same game would be developed in two entirely different Quadrants?

Hmm...

 

[Admiral Shran]

Dang, I thought I could get you with one of those trick questions. I'll have to think of another, harder, one. Give me some time.

And about Kadis-kot, I don't know why, but for the longest time I thought it was a Bajoran game. I only realized that we never find out where it comes from when one day I happened to look at the Memory Alpha article on it.

... and why I never think to check Memory Alpha before I answer these things, I'll never know. It's full of really good stuff.

I've been reading it and absorbing for years.
