Trivia 10-23-18 Sci-fi

[Trivia Master]

It all started when a theory proved valid but an experiment went awry and thusly our hero developed a habit for standing in other people's shoes. some might as well call it an act of god.

in this case he found a pair of shoes in a fictional Virginia county. unfortunately the guys in grey immediately opened up on him with cannon, rifles and at least one revolver. that revolver caused a superficial wound.

that experience made necessary an amendment to the theory in question as it should not have been possible in the first place.

under totally unrelated circumstances but again wearing a blue uniform our hero commanded a starship and this time his formerly faithful sidekick jailed him.

whose shoes did he wear in 1862 and what starship did he command (name and registration number)

In this trivia question, our "hero" in both parts, is actor Scott Bakula. In Quantum Leap he portrays Dr. Sam Beckett. In Star Trek he portrays Jonathan Archer.

In Quantum Leap......
Leap Date: September 20, 1862
Place: Mansfield County, Virginia (Fictional Virginia County)
Leapee: Captain John Beckett ( Great grandfather of Sam Beckett)

"Under totally unrelated circumstances" as Jonathan Archer in the Star Trek series..... he is the commanding officer of the first Starship Enterprise (NX-01)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Archer

 

[Jimklag]

In 1862 he wears the shoes of his great-grandfather, Captain John Beckett of the Union army.
Starship Enterprise designation NX-01.

 

[Schwallanscher]

first things first: the credits are mine a

It all started when a theory proved valid but an experiment went awry and thusly our hero developed a habit for standing in other people's shoes

that's the tv show quantum leap from 1989 staring scott bakula as dr samuel beckett and dean stockwell as rear admiral (upper half) albert 'al' calavicci.

some might as well call it an act of god.

both dr beckett and adm calavicci hint at god having a hand in this rather often throughout the show.​

in this case he found a pair of shoes in a fictional Virginia county. unfortunately the guys in grey immediately opened up on him with cannon, rifles and at least one revolver. that revolver caused a superficial wound.

episode V-20 the leap between the states has dr beckett find himself in his great grandfather's (capt john beckett) shoes on 20th september 1862 in the fictional mansfield county, virginia. in reality that's the date of the battle of shepherdstown (then still virginia).

that experience made necessary an amendment to the theory in question as it should not have been possible in the first place.

the theory stated that dr beckett could only leap in his own lifetime but as capt beckett was his direct ancestor this obviously would work, too (must be nice to be a screen writer ).​

under totally unrelated circumstances but again wearing a blue uniform our hero commanded a starship and this time his formerly faithful sidekick jailed him.

from 2001 on scott bakula played capt jonathan archer in star trek: enterprise

in episode I-21 detained archer is locked up by tandaran col grat (dean stockwell). needless to say archer escapes and frees everybody else (innocent suliban) in the process.

whose shoes did he wear in 1862 and what starship did he command (name and registration number)

1. capt john beckett
2. enterprise, nx-01

there's no uss with this enterprise. she's a terran ship not united federation of planets (those are uss) but i hope hoosier will turn a blind eye to that

This is my best guess at this question as I interpret it - -
Whose shoes did he wear in 1862: in the 20th episode of Quantum Leap - Sam Beckett (played by Scott Bakula) leaps into Union Army officer John Beckett, his great-grandfather.
Name & Registration: and since Scott Bakula was in Star Trek - "Enterprise, registration NX-01" - (this information from Wikipedia - Star Trek Enterprise.)

 

[roberts]

Scott Bakula played Dr. Sam Beckett in the series "Quantum Leap." In one episode he landed in 1862 as his great grandfather John Beckett.

Bakula also starred as Jonathan Archer who was the commander of the starship Enterprise NX-01.

 

[FarawayFriend]

Something related to time travel it seems and maybe parallel universes...

Most probably the answer can be found somewhere here:
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/American_Civil_War

Unfortunately I lack the time to read through all this...
But I'm horrified how many connections exist between the Star Trek universe and the American Civil War, providing our @Schwallanscher with at least a dozen more questions ..

 

[MaryDee]

I'm not even gonna try!

 

[Copperhead-mi]

I tried but I'm not much into Sci-Fi except for old original Boris Karloff movies.

 

[Zella]

This took me most of the day, but I think I finally have it!

The first show in question is Quantum Leap. Scott Bakula plays Dr. Sam Beckett and in the episode "The Leap Between the States" he finds himself in the shoes of his great-grandfather Captain John Beckett in September 1862 in the fictional county of Mansfield.

http://quantumleap.wikia.com/wiki/The_Leap_Between_The_States_(episode)

In a galaxy far, far away (years later and on a different channel), Bakula played Captain Jonathan Archer on Star Trek: Enterprise. In the "Detained" episode, he is captured by Dean Stockwell, who was his sidekick on Quantum Leap. His starship is Enterprise NX-01.

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Jonathan_Archer
http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Detained_(episode)

And now poor Bakula's just slumming it (years later and on yet another channel) in the modern world as an NCIS agent.

 

[skirmisher]

A bit out of my area here but I believe this is referring to Quantum Leap.
First answer: Captain John Beckett (http://quantumleap.wikia.com/wiki/The_Leap_Between_The_States_(episode))
Second answer: Enterprise NX-01 (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Jonathan_Archer)

As I am not a fan of science fiction, I'll guess.
Abraham Lincoln; USS Enterprise (NCC-1701).

Wow. This one was really hard.
I'm going with Quantum Leap (Season 5/Episode 20 "The Leap Between the States") and Star Trek: Enterprise (Season 1/Episode 20 "Detained.") The actors are: Scott Bakula as Sam Beckett and Captain Jonathan Archer; and Dean Stockwell as Al Calavicci and Colonel Grat. In the TV series Quantum Leap, Beckett "walks in the shoes" of the people into whom he leaps. Hence the shoe reference? In the Quantum Leap episode, Bakula, as Sam Beckett, "leaps" into his great grandfather, Captain John Beckett, in Mansfield County, VA, September 20, 1862. In the Star Trek: Enterprise episode, Bakula, as Captain Archer, is in command of the Enterprise when he is taken prisoner and interrogated by Dean Stockwell as Colonel Grat of the Tandaran prison. So my answers are:
Captain John Beckett
Enterprise NX-01
Quantum Leap source: http://quantumleap.wikia.com/wiki/The_Leap_Between_The_States_(episode)
Star Trek episode source:

Lee's shoes, the Starship Enterprise NX-01. (Jonathan Archer) My only guess.

[luinrina]

Schwolly, Schwolly, Schwolly... you owe me a couple of nerves! That was quite the puzzle to solve, considering we had to understand that you were talking about two different series.

Series no. 1 is Quantum Leap. The hero in question is Dr. Sam Beckett and he leaps in other people's minds. In Season 5, episode 20 "The Leap Between The States" he leaps into his great-grandfather, John Beckett, a captain in the Union Army, something considered impossible since all his previous leaps have been within his own lifetime.

Series no. 2 is Star Trek: Enterprise. Here, the actor Scott Bakula portrayed captain Jonathan Archer of starship Enterprise (registry number NX-01).

The reference to the "formerly faithful sidekick" is for actor Dean Stockwell who in Quantum Leap portrayed Sam Beckett's best friend Albert "Al" Calavicci whereas in Star Trek: Enterprise, episode "Detained" he portrayed prison warden Colonel Grat.

And now for the sources: Starting with this list which lead to Quantum Leap and its episodes. From there to the actor and his role in Star Trek: Enterprise. In addition to those were https://screenrant.com/star-trek-captain-jonathan-archer-enterprise-facts-trivia-porthos-beagle/ and https://www.quantumleap-alsplace.com/episodeguide/leapbetweenthestates.htm (Heads up! Spoiler alert!).

Phew!

 

[GELongstreet]

Blue would suggest Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise (NX-01) but I have no clue. I think I remember the mention of a fictional county in one of the other series (possibly the Q Civil War stuff). As for shoes, Riker had a civil war ancestor. But I don´t watch ENT and as there are ACW episodes in most of the series I still don´t know.

 

[SWMODave]

Well as a big fan of science fiction, not being able to find the answer to this is frustrating. So I look forward to seeing the answer and hope it is on Netflix, as I apparently missed an episode and Google failed me.
