Wrong again. (Really.) Though this episode involved an "ultimate computer," the episode "The Ultimate Computer" was about M-5, the computer that was tested to run the Enterprise.
I have about one more quote, but I'll wait until lunchtime.
Fine. The episode was "The Changeling." An old earth space probe had a collision in space with another ship and became this ultimate machine, "sterilizing" anything it considered less than perfect. It thought Kirk was its creator (whose name was really Korak, or something). Before it had a chance to "sterilize" the ship, Kirk convinced it that it was in error, causing it do decide to "sterilize" itself. As they carry it the transporter pad, Spock says, "Your logic is impeccable, Captain. We are in grave danger!" In the final wrp-up, Kirk points out that Nomad had raised Scotty from the dead (after killing him!) and that Nomad had considered Kirk his "father." So, Kirk jokingly bemused, "What a doctor he would have made! My son, the doctor!"
the same episode they expanded into the first star trek movie, the greyest story ever told! (where the superpowerful artificial entity thought its name was "Vger" because there was dirt on the Voyager's nameplate! man, was that dumb.)
I believe Sprawled Out was still referring to "The Changeling."
I believe Hiway's clue is to "Miri," though there was another episode that featured children prominently. That will be my next guess if "Miri" is not correct.
This could be a toughie. The quote was by a character who also appeared in a different ST series. (Actually, in this case, it was someone impersonating the character from the other series.)

I thought that this would be easy! Here's another clue:
"What a doctor he would have made! My son...the DOCTOR!"

Nope, but thanks for playing our game!
Let's make it REALLY easy:
"ERROR! ERROR! STERILIZE! STERILIZE!"
This, incidentally, was right before the "We are in grave danger" line.

It was the same actor in both series. He is far more well-known for his character in ANOTHER sci-fi series (a comedy).

sounds like you're in the ds9, or Voyager worlds. As you know, I'm useless there.
