It's a play on a common phrase that Bones McCoy used to say. "Dammit Jim...I'm a DOCTOR...not a (insert profession that he is NOT here)!! If you've ever seen Ace Ventura, Jim Carrey mimics that phrase right before climbing into the Miami Dolphins' pool..."Dammit Jim, I'm a doctor, not a pool man."
More specifically, there is an episode (The Devil in the Dark), in which Dr. McCoy is asked to treat an injured silicon-based life form. The doctor has to mix up a mortar-like paste to apply to the creature's wound.
This reminds me of when I wrote Riot grrrrl instead of Riot grrrl and they specifically requested the correct spelling, so it wasn't accepted. Not on Jetpunk, another quiz.
22/22 with almost 4 minutes remaining. Then again, the timing of this quiz was rather coincidental. Over the last couple years, I've been gradually re-watching every episode of every Star Trek series (and every movie), and I just finished last week. So I would probably have had to do some sort of Klingon shame ritual if I had missed a question on this quiz!
This seems like a good chance to plug my own Star Trek quizzes. They aren't for points (unless Quizmaster would like to change that... please?), but you can test your knowledge of the cast of The Original Series, The Next Generation, and Deep Space 9. Give them a try! You know you want to.
Is there something offensive about referencing the most famous role he ever played, at least pre-Star Trek? Because my comment doing that (and nothing else) was deleted.
Organization is defined as "an organized body of people with a particular purpose, especially a business, society, or association".
The Q are, as far as can be inferred, organized. We know they have rules, leaders, obligations, and membership. They do have goals, and are interested in learning about humans. I think it's fine as is.
There ya go!
