Where has that Poppins woman gone? I miss her in the "game room." If you're still around, MP, Have a wonderful birthday!! George

I thought I knew what show Tops meant, though I never saw an episode. Googling clues from Hiway and Tops let me know I had been right. Funny, though, from the title of the show, I had always assumed it was about a secretary, not a teacher! George

Misspelled, but correct! George (Banacek)

?? :blink: From your earlier guesses you can put together the correct title. It's even easier if you use the correct verb for your first choice. George

Either the original pilot "The Cage" or its re-treaded version "The Menagerie." Capt. Pike has a phaser to a Talosian's head and says something like, "I think my gun really works, but you've been making me think it hasn't. Want me to test my theory on your head?" "Every one of your ships has a mine on its belly, my finger's on the button, and you're in a very bad position." George

Yes, indeed! Go. George

Actually, you have to know who the guy is to get this one. He's been in several movies in the last couple of years. George

Looking forward to seeing what you have, Tops! George

Ah, of course! I recognize it now. Actually, I guess two different episode titles could be considered correct. I'll answer if no one else has by tonight. George

Trying not to derail... Dulmur and Lucsly are anagrams. Hiway's clue doesn't ring a bell yet, though it has an Odo/Quark feel to it. George

Sounds right. By the way, I forgot to mention something about "Trials and Tribble-ations." The two "time cops" are named Dulmur and Lucsly. Do those names seem familiar? George

You've almost got it! George

Yes! I thought it was clever how they dodged the "Why do Original Star Trek Klingons have flat foreheads, while all the others have ridges" question. And then, of course, it was actually explained in "Enterprise": the flat-head Klingons were actually a genetic blend of Klingons and human "augment" virus. "T&T-ations" also avoided showing Koloth, who was a flat-head in the original series but ridged in DS9. I don't know how many times McCoy actually used the "I'm a doctor, not a ..." line, but it was parodied oftern enough: Bashir here, the holographic Doctor in Voyager. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Phlox used it in Enterprise. Engage, Mr. Wolf! George

Looks like we've run aground again. A little help, here? George

Next clue: "I can't wait to get back and see your face when you find out that I never existed!" George

"M.A.S.H."? George

I've actually worked for TWO men who went on to win the Nobel Prize in chemistry: William Knowles (a few years ago) for his work in asymmetric homogeneous catalysis and Richard Schrock (last year) for his work in olefin metathesis. It appears that one does not become brilliant merely by associating with brilliant men! George

I'll second that! Happy Birthday!!! George

Nope. George

Where have YOU been, Tom? George

Here's one: George

That would be my guess. George

Okay. It was a Voyager episode, "In the Flesh." Species 8472 has found a way to appear human and have designed a fake Starfleet Academy to help prepare for an assault on Earth. Ray Walston reprises his NG role as Boothby (or actually, an 8472 replica of Boothby). Capt. Janeway has a meeting with him to discuss their "little misunderstanding." "Boothby" mentions that the Borg nanoprobes, adapted by Seven of Nine and the Doctor to be able to kill 8472, "scare the hell out of" him. The other exchange was between Ensign Kim and Lt. Paris. I'm trying to keep this open to more than just original and NG episodes. I'd like to think that there were memorable episodes in ALL the shows. Try this: "I'm a doctor, not an historian." George

I would have sworn that the last quote (which is the one I recognized) was from the second film. Anyway, try this: I'll have him dragged here to Washington. I want to see the whites of his lies. George
