The Incredible Shrinking Trivia Question

[kitsune]

To my knowledge, there are six episodes in the Trek universe that involve a main character shrinking or otherwise appearing smaller than normal. What are they?

"Rascals" (age regression) doesn't count. Nor does "By Any Other Name" (distilling into cuboctahedrons). Nor "Déjà Q" (the Calamarain aren't main characters).

For bonus points, name the episode in which a main character appears much larger than normal...sortof.

"Hide and Q" (age progression) doesn't count either.

Voyager's "Parallax", Deep Space Nine's "One Little Ship", The Animated Series' "The Terratin Incident". Those are the ones which come to mind. But six?

ETA: Does "Catspaw" count?

Are we including the Animated Series? I seem to remember there might have been an episode there where someone shrunk - of course I could just be thinking of the episode with the giant Spock (The Infinite Vulcan, right?).

Anywho, firstly there's One Little Ship (DS9) and then there's Parallax (VOY), where The Doctor appears to shrink. I'm drawing a blank on any of the others.

Those three are correct.

I don't think so. You're thinking of the Enterprise necklace? I think that was just an effigy / voodoo doll thing...

Including the animated series, yes. The Terratin Incident was mentioned already.

The Infinite Vulcan is correct.

Those are correct, but already mentioned.

Q shrunk Voyager with the crew in it in Deathwish

Q shrunk Voyager with the crew in it in Deathwish

Really? I didn't know about that one! Can anyone confirm this?

There's still three more live-action episodes I know of that haven't been mentioned.

Yes.

Yes.

Thanks, I'll add it to my database.

Yeah, he turned it into a Hallmark Christmas ornament.

 

[kitsune]

There's still three more live-action episodes I know of that haven't been mentioned.

One is from TOS. The Enterprise is plucked from orbit and its crew put into suspended animation. They used the 3-foot filming model as a live-action prop for this.

One is a TNG episode (hint: it's on the holodeck).

And the other is from Voyager.

Would the TOS episode be Requiem For Metuselah? (I've probably spelt that wrongly)

Excellent trivia question, BTW.

Requiem for Methuselah is correct!

Two more to go.

Wow! That's right! (I think that's the scene I meant earlier. But I thought it was from "Catspaw".)

Excellent trivia question, BTW.

I have to agree. This is fun! If you have more, don't hold them back!

 

[Frodo Lives]

Is the TNG one Hollow Pursuits? There was a decidely shorter Riker in that programme if I recall.

Correct!

Just one more to go, from Voyager.

 

[kitsune]

Just one more to go, from Voyager.

The remaining episode can easily be confused with Parallax because it's the same character (the Doctor) that gets shrunk.

 

[Phillip Culley]

Persistence of Vision, isn't it?

When Torres and Kim try to transfer the EMH to Engineering, screw it up and a minuscule Doctor appears
