8/10. One of my favorite episodes. I nearly had a fit when I got the first two wrong, though. 😱

9/10 A comedy episode!

Mr. Scott loves his Ship!

Stanley Adams (Cyrano Jones) was the Carrot creature in the Lost in Space episode "The Great Vegetable rebellion". Contrary to the opinion of the cast and a large segment of the viewing public, is not as bad as you would believe. To be fair!

Moisture, moisture, I need Moisture.........

9/10 I missed #5. Lucky guess on #2. I wonder if Cyrano Jones still has job security.

I get it! Jabba the Hut.

I had to look up Jabba the Hut that you mentioned in your post. I'm probably one of the very few that never saw Star Wars. What are the odds that I would post that phrase that way?🤔 I just meant that I am "highly illogical".☺️ Thanks, I learned something new. 😊 I'll have to watch Star Wars.

9/10
"Close that door...."
However, I will argue just a little but on the second question. Baris ordered the call, but as station manager, Lurry would have had to be the one to actually ISSUE the alert. At least that was my thinking when I answered. Having said that, I'll have to recheck the dialogue.

You know what you get if you feed a tribble to much? Kirk: A fat tribble. McCoy: No you get a bunch of hungry little tribbles.

That was my thinking, too. I guess I overthought that one. 😑

6/10. A favorite, but that’s never a predictor of my score.
