Name that Star Trek Episode

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I thought I'd give this a shot. Give a line from any one of the five Star Trek TV shows (not including the cartoon!). The responder must give the series (Original, Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, or Enterprise) and either an episode title or enough of a description to make it clear which episode it is. For example, if you don't remember the title "Inner Light" but remember "it's the one where an alien probe gives Picard a lifetime of memories," that's good enough. Obviously, general quotes like "Engage" or "Energize" aren't specific enough.

To start, here's a pretty easy one:

No, it is not logical, but it is often true.

It's the one where Spock argues with McCoy, but Kirk sympathizes with both of them.

[topoftheworld]

Well, that narrows it down.

[Raf]

Stole the concept from Friends. They were watching 3s Company and Chandler says, "Oh, I think this is the episode where there's some kind of misunderstanding."

And Phoebe shuts it off and says, "Oh, then I've seen that one."

[GeorgeStGeorge]

I think you'll have to be a BIT more specific, this time. :)

George

Okay, here's another from the same episode:

"Live long, and prosper."

"I shall do neither, because I have killed my Captain and my friend."

George

[WordWolf]

That's got to be when Spock "used the Vulcan Death Grip" on Kirk.

It's when they stole a Romulan cloaking device, and Kirk is revived

from death with pointy ears and sharp eyebrows.

[Raf]

I have killed my Captain and my friend sounds like the pon farr episode (I have no idea how to spell that). And then Spock is uncharacteristically ecstatic when he finds out Kirk is alive.

No?

Amok Time

Here's another easy one

"ah, a fair maiden"

"sorry, neither"

[Raf]

Hold it! We need a ruling!

If describing the episode is enough, then which post gets credit for the answer?

[hiway29]

I'd say Raf got it first-but only because I just got home from work.

I thought the winner in these things is supposed to give the next one ?

[WordWolf]

Hold it! We need a ruling!

If describing the episode is enough, then which post gets credit for the answer?

It would have been mine or Raf's depending on which was the correct episode.

Hiway29's answer repeated Raf's.

[hiway29]

well, Raf and I had the correct answer. Raf was first.

Wordwolf described 'the Enterprise Incident'.

On further reflection-it COULD be 'the Enterprise Incident'

But it sure sounds like 'Amok Time'

[GeorgeStGeorge]

Sorry I haven't been around for the last couple of hours!

The episode was "Amok Time."

Raf described it correctly, so he goes. Sorry hiway, sorry WW.

George

[Raf]

I should disqualify WordWolf from this one, because I KNOW he knows it.

"You enjoyed that."

"You're damn right!"

[hiway29]

must be 'the Enterprise Incident" -maybe when McCoy took Kirk's Romulan disguise off

[pawnbroker]

Star Trek the Next Generation

Riker & Pikard

[hiway29]

oh right-pawnbroker is correct I think

I didn't realize we were doing all Trek incarnations-this could get difficult

[GeorgeStGeorge]

If it is a Next Generation episode, you'll have to describe it better, Pawnbroker, or give the title of the episode. It does remind me of the one where Q gives Riker Q-powers, and nobody wants any "gifts" from Riker. (I think it was "Q Who?")

George

[Raf]

Wrong and wrong. It was Riker and Picard.

WordWolf, you want to give them a fair shot, or take it and provide the next quote?

[pawnbroker]

no clue to the episode name...

[GeorgeStGeorge]

You don't have to remember the episode name if you can describe the episode. What was it about?

George

[Raf]

Ooh, pawnbroker knows this one. Come on, buddy!

[Raf]

Same episode:

"He wants the impossible."

"That's the short definition for Captain."

[WordWolf]

If I can be indulged...

Before I snatch this one, I'll give one more shot for someone else, someone for whom

this is not a defining episode of the shows.... :)

"Intelligent converse is impossible. You do not discuss, you gibber."

"Between intelligent species of good will --"

The previous clues...

"You enjoyed that."

"You're damn right!"

"He wants the impossible."

"That's the short definition for Captain."
