Thanks to MeTV fan Christopher Seeley from Killeen, Texas, for submitting this quiz! Do you have a great idea for a quiz? Share it with us!
The beginning of Star Trek is complicated to say the least. The first pilot was rejected but reworked into a later storyline, the second pilot aired three episodes into the first season and the first episode aired was the sixth episode filmed. Some fans stick to the original air order while others prefer the order in which they were made.
Regardless of which episode you see as the pilot, “The Man Trap” kicked off the massive sci-fi franchise as the first installment to hit the airwaves in the 1960s.

A lot of the shows I enjoy come from Universal. I think they were able to have more variety before streaming. And now people can find a lot of stuff on YouTube, and other devices.
You got 11 out of 12
You had a strong grip on the right answers. Great job!

I only missed on Question #6 about the amount of salt that the Craters started out with, which is understanable since I haven't seen this episode, or any other "STAR TREK" episode, in quite a while, and I've been a life-long "TREKKIE" forever, if you get my meaning. LOL!
The more interesting character is actual T'Pau. Did *she* ever show up at a Con. Because she was a very distinguished actress who can be spotted in a lot of Classic TV shows. She looked so fragile in "Amok Time" but doesn't come across that way in other roles.
By the way, you can attached images to these comments.
