ANSWERS
1. Mulgrew's dog, a Labrador retriever, is named Gracie.
2. That guest star was ``Voyager's'' own Doc Zimmerman, Robert Picardo.
3. Christopher Lloyd, so memorable as the villainous Klingon Kruge in the Nimoy-directed ``Star Trek III: The Search for Spock'' (1984), has been signed to star in the new series, which begins production soon.
4. Jesus was played by the late Jeffrey Hunter, who starred as Captain Pike in the first ``Trek'' pilot, ``The Cage.'' (Thanks to David Epstein of Kalamazoo, Mich., for this question.)
5. ``Trek'' first beamed its way onto a TV Guide cover on March 4, 1967, with a picture of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock.
6. The episode was ``Parallax.'' (Thanks to Jamie Wilkens of Camden, N.J.)
7. T'Lar (Dame Judith Anderson) used the refusion method called fal-tor-pan to make Spock whole again.
8. False. The character was never actually referred to by his first name, Richard. In fact, the name only appears in the episode's script and was never revealed in any dialogue or graphic.
9. The most recent episode to feature both Alaimo and Robinson and, of course, Dukat and Garak, was this season's ``Civil Defense.''
10. BaH is the verb for ``fire,'' as in ``Fire phasers.'' (Thanks to Gail Reardon of Ventura, Calif.)
