Name that Star Trek Episode

Indeed it is. The upper quote was an exchange between Apollo and Kirk. The lower involved Apollo, Scotty, and Kirk. I originally had trouble finding quotes because I thought the title was "Who Mourns for ADONIS?" Who the heck was Adonais? You're up, WW -
Or not... George

You're welcome, Suda. And Dooj is correct. George

In general, it's best to give clues that don't involve parts of words. If you hadn't explicitly said that that was what you did, I doubt anyone would have got it. Now, if the picture is a person, maybe only one name (first or last) or a nickname would be fine. "And the" has become Andy or Andie a number of times, and Indy (for Indiana Jones) is a good fit for "in the." If I were doing "The Verdict," I probably would have used a dove, John Heard, and Dick Nixon. Don't let me discourage you, though. It's great that you're playing! Here's an oldie: four pics George

Need help thinking this through: Agape? or Arrogance?
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Shifra's topic in About The Way
I can't speak concerning your dad. And I'll pass on Walt and VP, for now. But I'm certain that Paul knew what he was talking about. Agape is spiritual. Just as the natural man cannot know the things of the spirit, neither can he exhibit agape. But those that have the spirit of God CAN. That doesn't mean that they WILL, of course, just that God has enabled them to do so. George -
Black & White thinking and inductive reasoning
GeorgeStGeorge replied to another spot's topic in About The Way
It may be a little late to jump in here, but I'd like to point out that there's nothing wrong with inductive reasoning. Inductive reasoning extrapolates from the specific to the general, but it isn't based on a single data point. If I say, "It was hotter in Texas in July last year than it was in December, therefore I conclude that it will be hotter this July than it will be in December," that's not inductive reasoning. If I investigate and find out that it has been hotter in July than in December for the last 100 years, then I can inductively conclude that the same will hold true this year. The more data, the more certain the conclusion, though, as has been pointed out, it's not guaranteed. Now where you can get into real trouble is with COUNTER-inductive reasoning, which proclaims that because something HASN'T happened (or happens infrequently), then it's likely to occur. A harmless example is the way sports announcers talk about certain players: "Well, he's 0-for-40 in his last ten games, so he's about due for a hit." No, he's about due for a trip to Triple-A. Fear-mongers tend to use counterinductive reasoning, too, hiding it as the "law of averages": "A hurricane hasn't hit Houston in 25 years, so we're about due!" If there would be a hurricane this year, it would have nothing to do with past history. Interestingly, if there is no hurricane here this year, it will only make the counterinductivists MORE certain that there will be one NEXT year! George -

Name that TV Show [EZ quotes only]
GeorgeStGeorge replied to Raf's topic in Movies, Music, Books, Art
Different episode: "For a brief time it looked as if they might actually make a difference in this cold, cruel world. They acquired an intern who believed in their cause. And a powerful, beautiful nemesis... who became an ally. But the world is not kind to idealists... and those who fight the Good Fight don't always win." "Who do we want to win the Academy Awards this year?" "I don't care. All I care about is, Buffalo does not win the Superbowl. As long as I live, Buffalo does not win the Superbowl!" "Life is like a box of chocolates. Cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable because all you get back is another box of chocolates. So you're stuck with this undefinable whipped mint craft that you mindlessly wolf down and there's nothing else left to eat. Sure... once in a while there's a peanut buttercup or an English toffee.. but they're gone too fast and the taste is fleeting. They end up nothing but broken bits filled with hardened jelly and teeth shattering nuts. If you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is an empty box with useless brown paper wrappers." George -
Name that Star Trek Episode

"I would have cherished you, cared for you. I would have loved you as a father loves his children. Did I ask so much?" "We've outgrown you. You asked for something we can no longer give." "You will dismantle your ship for the supplies you will need; then I'll crush its empty hull. I have been too patient. I shall be patient... no longer." "Captain, we've got to do something!" "We were doing something, until our brave lady stepped in and saved us." George -
