9 out of 10...M-Rays?
10 of 10. I knew them all except the final question, but I guessed correctly. Apollo calls the planet Olympus, so I always had as well.
5/10 all guesses
5/10
I ought to quit taking these Star Trek quizzes.
I won't. But I ought to.
I'm letting Spock down.

You got 9 out of 10
I had to guess at a couple and really think about what I could imagine coming out of Kirk’s mouth but I nailed it at 10/10! 🎉🍻
8/10. You never see guest star Michael Forest (Apollo) in the same shot with the male members of the landing party from the Enterprise. This was an artistic decision that was done in order to make Apollo appear omnipotent.
Jay Jones, Jimmy Doohan's stunt double, was seriously injured doing the scene where Apollo sends Scotty reeling backwards in the air and over the table.
The original script ended with the revelation that Lt. Carolyn Palamas was pregnant. NBC would not allow that.

Very interesting! Do you remember what his injury was and if he recovered ok?
According to the article on Jones at "Memory Alpha":
'Jones suffered a concussion after hitting himself on the head following a back flip. And while playing the role of security guard Mallory on "The Apple", Jones was severely injured by the explosion which was supposed to kill his character.'
If you want to get a better look at him, watch the episode "Catspaw". He played "Crewman Jackson", who gets beamed up in the teaser and immediately falls over dead.

He really did a good job falling face first in that one, also...
Thank you for all of this excellent information Captain! I checked out his page on Memory Alpha and the stills from the show, especially when he was stunt doubling and you can tell it wasn’t the actor was interesting. According to the site Jay is still with us at the age of 81. I tried to look see if he has a page on IMDb and he seems to be listed as Jay D. Jones and it’s incredibly sparse. For those who really enjoy that kind of challenge I think it would be awesome if someone could help fill-in his IMDb page with all of his credits!

8/10. amazing. if not expected.
Good morning! Hope everyone has a beautiful day 🙏
I had a beautiful day. Visited my 90-year old aunt. She's always busy doing things for others, driving them to appointments, etc. Such a sweetheart. Wish I lived a little closer. 🥰
Oh, good for you! I’m so happy you got to spend time with her 🤗
She's a lot of fun and the only one left of my mom's family, so I like to see her and talk about my mom and grandmother. She's kind of like a link to them.
9/10, pretty good episode. They would continually meet aliens who had visited Earth in the distant past.
9/10. I picked sheep instead of herding goats. Michael Forest was in "Twilight Zone" in "Black Leather Jackets".
7/10and I never saw the episode
5/10 "highly illogical", of course ☺️
8/10. "Interesting" 🖖
Here's an "Fascinating" fact, William Shatner refused to be in the same shot as Micheal Powers because of their height difference. "Fascinating" 🖖

"Jump-Ball!"
Michael Forest. Bill & I are about the same height.
Oh, yes, my bad 😟 I meant Michael Forest. Thank you MichaelPowers. 🖖
"Highly Illogical" Bapa1! Please explain 🖖🪐🚀🛸🖖
Height difference, basketball, jump ball. Watching the Miami Heat right now.
"Understood" thank you Bapa1 🖖
10/10
4/10.
7 out of 10. Decent score although this episode is one of the weaker ones
After I took the quiz, I looked up Michael Forest on IMDb. He's still around (95 years old), and he reprised his role as Apollo in 2013 on the first episode of "Star Trek Continues."
Interesting.
7/10
