Name that Star Trek Episode


Recommended Posts

"THAT was the equation! Existence! Survival... must... cancel out... programming!"

"What...happened...to the Old Ones, Ruk?"

"So long ago.""

"Is it possible that they built their machines too well?"

"Mind your own business. I'm sick of your half-breed interference. Do you hear?"

"You might as well try to outthink a calculating machine."

"Obviously I can't."

"Well, there's one difference between us: I'm hungry."

"The difference is your weakness, Captain, not mine."

"One at a time, gentlemen. Captain?"

"Eating is a pleasure, sir. Unfortunately one you will never know."

"Perhaps. But I will never starve, sir."

"You are certain you recognize his voice?"

"Have you ever been engaged?"

"Do you realize the number of discoveries lost because of superstition, of ignorance? A layman's inability to comprehend?"

Feel free to try again, Steve!. You are probably thinking of the right episode, but you didn't describe it well.

Sherry Jackson-who was Danny Thomas' daughter on 'Make Room For Daddy', is the lovely android there.

come to think of it, Danny's other tv daughter, Angela Cartright, went on to play Penny on 'Lost in Space'

as far as I know, none of Danny's REAL daughters, (Marlo, Terry ) ever made it to the stars.

don't mind me-it's a slow work day.

"That's from an obscure language called French --"

"A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data."

"Indeed?"

"I suggest you drop it, Mister Data."

"I'm a... physician; I've seen death. But not on the scale this could mean."

"I warn you, Captain... if you get hurt, I'll put you on report!"

"The rules are known; let combat continue until there is a victor. It will not be interrupted.

Proceed."

I don't remember the exact reason for the fight. I think the king wanted Tasha for his harem. Anyway, Tasha and the princess fought with poisoned gloves. I think that Tasha actually killed her, so that she was no longer officially married, making the king no longer the possessor of her wealth. Dr. Crusher brought her back to life, of course.

Right-it's the episode "Code of Honor."

Supposedly, Patrick Stewart hated it because it's sexist.

It's episode 4, I think, for the series.

The Enterprise dealt with the Ligonians because they had a vaccine that

was needed to prevent a plague on a planet. The leader there demonstrated

his bravery by "counting coup"-in this case, kidnapping Tasha Yar.

(Apparently, she lacked the reflexes to stop him...)

Data's explanation led to his shot about French.

When it's time to return her, he says he wants to marry her, and his wife

challenges it-by combat to the death (with the poisoned gloves.)

If she dies, her husband gets her wealth (so he wins no matter what.)

I had 2 problems with this episode, which were obvious when watching it.

Problem 1: "Nothing is allowed to interrupt the fight."

Someone loses a weapon. "Interrupt the fight." WHAT?

You JUST SAID that's not allowed. Plus, you wanted her to lose ANYWAY.

Problem 2: Ligonian law, apparently, isn't very clever.

The only end to the battle was "to the death."

Supposedly, the wife was KILLED (which means her property reverts

to her husband at her death) and was later REVIVED by Starfleet.

That's how they explained it-she DIED- which meant they did NOT

interfere with the combat. When she was REVIVED, however,

there's no legal basis for RETURNING her property, which converted

when she DIED. So he should have kept the land.

Your turn!

Obvious clues next, if you don't get it from these.

"It's not easy being funny wearing these teeth."

"Brag all you want! But don't get between me and the bloodwine!"

"Since when has it been treasonous to act in the best interests of the Empire?"

"Captain, you're just in time for happy hour."

"Do I look happy?"

Ok.

This one is the Deep Space 9 episode where 4 DS9'ers (Sisko, Odo, Worf, and I forget the 4th) were disguised

as Klingons entering the Order of the Bat'lelth, in order to infiltrate the Klingons and confirm that Gowron

had been replaced by a changeling.

That's the one. And yes, the fourth "Klingon" was O'Brien. "Apocalypse Rising." There was also the sub-plot explaining Nana Visitor's pregnancy by saying that Miles and Keiko's child was implanted in Kira as an emergency procedure to save Keiko and the baby. Kira yells at Bashir, "You did this to me!", a cute nod to the fact that Alexander Siddig was the father of Nana's child.

Q'Plah, WW!

"I am still uncomfortable about your leading this away team."

"This is not an away team in the strictest sense. I consider this more of a ceremonial function. For me not to go, could be construed a lack of respect, or that I do not regard the mission as significant."

"That's a long time to be out of the saddle. Let's hope he's not rusty."

"He is a well-liked leader. Their affection is genuine, as is his."

"The uniqueness of this presentation provoked my inadvertent breach in protocol. No insult was intended."

"Then... none is perceived."

"And you don't resent it?"

"The VISOR or being blind?"

"Either."

"They are both part of me, and since I like who I am, why would I resent either being blind or wearing the VISOR?"

"What is your position on this ship?"

"Engineering officer, sir."

"It's a blessing to understand we are special...... each in his own way."

"My feeling exactly."

"You are not alone. We will solve this..together!

" He's very frightened. All his life he's been in control. For once, he doesn't have the answers."

I'm not very sure, but could it be the TNG episode with the mute ambassador? I think his name was Riva.

If this is the episode, I can give more information about it if this isn't enough... but first I'd like to know if I'm not confusing the episode with another one...

That's the episode- "Loud as a Whisper"- and that's the ambassador.

Feel free to add a few details if you want-you covered enough for the answer.

(A little more information wouldn't hurt, however.)
