The USS Enterprise is the most iconic starship in science fiction. What is the registry number of Captain Kirk’s original Enterprise from The Original Series?
✗ Red alert! The answer is NCC-1701. Kirk’s original Constitution-class Enterprise carried this now-legendary registry. NCC-1701-D is Picard’s Enterprise from TNG, NX-01 is Captain Archer’s, and NCC-74656 belongs to Voyager.
Kirk’s most trusted officer is a half-human, half-Vulcan science officer famous for his logic and iconic salute. Who is this legendary character?
✗ Red alert! The answer is Spock. Data is an android from TNG, Tuvok is Voyager’s Vulcan tactical officer, and Sarek is Spock’s Vulcan father. Only Spock is the half-human, half-Vulcan first officer of Kirk’s Enterprise.
Starfleet’s most important regulation forbids interference with the natural development of alien civilizations. What is this guiding principle called?
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Prime Directive. While “General Order One” is technically another name for it, the Prime Directive is the universally known term. The Omega Directive and Temporal Accord are separate, more specialized Starfleet protocols.
“Resistance is futile.” This chilling declaration belongs to a cybernetic collective that assimilates entire civilizations into its hive mind. What is this fearsome species called?
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Borg. The Dominion is the Gamma Quadrant empire from DS9, the Romulans are a rival empire, and Species 8472 is actually one of the few species that the Borg themselves fear. Only the Borg declare “Resistance is futile.”
Captain Jean-Luc Picard commands the Enterprise-D in The Next Generation and later received his own series, Star Trek: Picard. Which acclaimed actor portrays him?
✗ Red alert! The answer is Patrick Stewart. William Shatner plays Captain Kirk, Avery Brooks is Captain Sisko on Deep Space Nine, and Scott Bakula captains the NX-01 Enterprise. Only Sir Patrick Stewart portrays the legendary Jean-Luc Picard.
Starfleet vessels travel faster than light by bending space around them using a matter-antimatter reaction. What is this propulsion system called?
✗ Red alert! The answer is Warp Drive. Transwarp is an advanced Borg technology, Slipstream is an experimental quantum drive, and the Spore Drive uses mycelial network navigation (from Discovery). Standard Starfleet vessels use Warp Drive.
At Starfleet Academy, cadets face a notorious no-win scenario designed to test their character under impossible circumstances. James Kirk is the only cadet who ever beat it — by cheating. What is this test called?
✗ Red alert! The answer is the Kobayashi Maru. The Corbomite Maneuver is a TOS episode, not an Academy test. The Kobayashi Maru is the famous no-win scenario that Kirk defeated by reprogramming the simulation — because he doesn’t believe in the no-win scenario.
In the widely regarded greatest Star Trek film, a genetically enhanced superhuman from Earth’s past seeks revenge against Captain Kirk. “KHAAAAN!” Who is this iconic villain?
✗ Red alert! The answer is Khan Noonien Singh. General Chang is a Klingon from Star Trek VI, Q is TNG’s omnipotent trickster, and Gul Dukat is DS9’s Cardassian antagonist. Only Khan inspired Kirk’s legendary scream across the cosmos.

Evermore Just Might Be The Best "Gimmick" Story in Strange New World's History
Evermore Mixes Star Trek With the Works of Edgar Allan Poe
Star Trek: Strange New World Made Doctor M'Benga a Franchise Hero, and Evermore Reminds Fans Why He Is the Best
And speaking of Doctor M’Benga, Evermore catches him at his peak.
And speaking of Doctor M’Benga, Evermore catches him at his peak. M’Benga began as a promising one-off character in The Original Series, appearing in two episodes, and Strange New Worlds has brought him to the forefront of the franchise once again. In Evermore, fans are reminded of why M’Benga is one of the finest officers in Starfleet. He works to save not only his shipmates, but his daughter as well. “The Elysian Kingdom” did not skimp on the emotional sacrifice M’Benga made, and Evermore does not short it either.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Gimmick Stories Are Not For Everyone, But Evermore is Totally Worth a Look
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end after its fifth season, bringing to a close one of the finest entries in the franchise. Strange New Worlds was not only a return to the episodic nature that worked well with other Star Trek shows, but was not afraid to take big creative swings, be it a musical or puppet-themed episode. While not all fans liked these episodes, they showed Star Trek was not above trying new things and concepts. Evermore keeps this tradition going, repurposing a classic episode into the show’s best gimmick story yet.
