star trek - In which episodes did the Enterprise boldly go where no one had gone before?


In the opening titles to Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes, the voice-over states that the Enterprise has a continuing mission to



"...boldly go where no one has gone before".




I am currently on Season 1 Episode 17, and only once have they actually gone somewhere new, and that was mostly a mistake (when they travelled to another galaxy).


In which episodes does the Enterprise go somewhere new?



Answer



I have counted 20 episodes in which the TNG Enterprise travels to places where there has been no presence from an existing manned Federation ship or colony and no presence from an existing superpower that's known to have shared survey information with the Federation (e.g. Romulans, Cardassians, Klingons, etc). I have also excluded episodes where the Enterprise is trying to find a lost ship or a missing colony.


I have indicated the place, the purpose of the exploration and whether any first contact was made with an alien life-form.


Season 1:



  • Where No One Has Gone Before* (Another galaxy - By accident)

  • Justice (Strnad System - Planetary survey - First contact mission)


  • When The Bough Breaks (Epsilon Mynos System - Planetary survey - First contact mission)

  • Home Soil (Pleiades Cluster - Survey mission)


Season 2:



  • Where Silence Has Lease* (Weird space hole thingy - By accident)

  • Pen Pals (Selcundi Drema System - Planetary survey x 5 - Partial first contact)

  • Q Who* (J two five - Planetary survey - Attempted first contact mission)

  • Samaritan Snare (Epsilon Nine Sector - Stellar survey)



Season 3:



  • The Bonding - (Koinonian System - Archaeological survey - First contact mission)

  • The Offspring (Selebi Asteroid Belt - Asteroidal survey)

  • Tin Man (Beta Stromgren system - Stellar survey - First contact mission)

  • Transfigurations (Zeta Gelis Cluster - Stellar survey/planetary survey - First contact mission)


Season 4



  • Clues (Ngame Cloud - Planetary survey - Partial first contact mission)


  • Nth Degree* (Centre of the galaxy - Planetary survey - First contact mission)

  • In Theory (Mar Oscura - Nebular survey)


Season 5



  • The Game (Phoenix Cluster - Stellar survey)

  • Imaginary Friend (FGC Four Seven system - Nebular survey)

  • The Inner Light* (Kataan system - Planetary survey - Accidental first contact)


Season 6




  • Schisms (Amargosa Diaspora - Nebular survey - Partial first contact)

  • The Chase (Volterra nebula - Nebular survey - Partial first contact)


Season 7


There are no significant explorations in Season 7.



* indicates episodes where there was a distinct lack of boldness, where the Enterprise traveled timidly or under duress.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
