"I have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith."
"I like robots."
"Well I got news for you... today or a hundred years from now don't make a bit of difference – as far as they're concerned, we'll always be niggers."
The third quote makes me think it's a DS9 episode where all the main actors portray writers for a newspaper or magazine, circa 1955. Avery Brooks was a (black, obviously) writer trying to sell stories about a space station in the future commanded by a black man. Armin Shimmerman was the editor, I believe. It had one of those endings where you're left to decide if DS9 was the invention of this 50's writer, or if the 50's writer was a dream of Sisko's.

CORRECT!
It's the episode "Far Beyond the Stars."
Grandpa Joe Sisko played the minister on the corner, who quoted Scripture at least once.
In this case, II Timothy 4:7.
(Another example of the "47s" in Star Trek.)
Miles O'Brien played a writer who liked to write robot/technology stories.
Jake Sisko got to say the only usage of the word "nigger" in Star Trek to date.
I guess this episode was more memorable to me than anyone else. If it helps any, the character that Seven speaks to in the last couple of quotes experiences his whole life during that episode. If no one gets it by tomorrow, I'll use another episode.
Oh, well. It was the episode "Drone," where the Doctor's holoemitter gets jumbled up with Seven's nanoprobes and gives birth to a 29th-century Borg. The drone single-handedly defeats a Borg sphere. He survives (barely) the explosion, but won't let the Doctor work on him, knowing that his survival will keep the Borg coming after Voyager.
New episode: "What are his rights in this century? Is there a trial... or shall I execute him?"

Hiway is correct. If anyone wishes to take his turn, jump in.

I am unaware of this phenomenon. Please elaborate.
In the meantime, here are two quotes from another ST episode:
"That's called a joke."
"Joke. A verbal comment or jesture designed to provoke laughter."
"I see you've got your mother's sense of humour."
"I'm a doctor. not a peeping Tom."

Is that from the Schizoid Man?
=======
Oh, the 47s.
It started with a joke in college. One teacher claimed all numbers can eventually be
proven to equal 47. So there's a running gag at the college about it appearing everywhere.
Then one person who was in on the joke began dropping the 47s into Star Trek, and other
writers have picked it up. So, 47s appear every time a random number shows up in a
story. That's not the original series or the cartoons, but all the series from ST:TNG onward.
Here's some examples:
Rule of Acquisition 47: Never trust a man in a better suit than you.
Crew complement of a Defiant class vessel: 47.
Crusing speed of a Danube-class runabout: Warp 4.7
Captain's Eyes Only Secure Code: Code 47.
My favourite usage was when Sisko was wrongly anticipated to go meet Cassidy Yates.
He said he was going to Deck "Four?" "Seven."
Whenever there's a rescue operation, or emergency, you'll find 47 people in danger,
or 47 people recovered, or 47 still unaccounted for, or something along those lines.
Some of them are pretty well-hidden. The one I mentioned above was an example
of one of the really, really well-hidden ones.
Sometimes 2 numbers are mentioned, and the difference between them is 47 or
something like that. Or a run of 46 previous of something is mentioned, which makes
the current one we're watching the 47th.

Interesting.
And no, not "The Schizoid Man."

Gotta be the Voyager where they discovered Seven of Nine.

No, it's when they encountered some Borg sometime later,
and Seven of Nine went on the Away Mission, and found out the Borg Queen
wanted to assimilate her, but not as a drone.
This was a 2-parter.
We also saw flashbacks to her childhood aboard the SS Raven,
where her mentally-unstable dad was actively searching for borg,
even over refueling.
Which makes this "Dark Frontier."

No, but a good guess. It IS a Voyager episode.

It's not Endgame, is it?

No.
This one's from memory, so it's a little inexact:
"If you die, it will hurt me."
"You will adapt."

I'm running out of quotes, here...
"My mobile emmitter seems to have been damaged in transport."
"Leave it in Engineering. I'll look at it tomorrow morning."
"If you die, it will hurt me."
"You will adapt."
"Rise and shine, Lieutenant! Early bird gets the gagh!"
"This is a ship of exploration."
"I am an explorer."

One last try. The lines spoken by Seven of Nine are marked with a "7."
"My mobile emmitter seems to have been damaged in transport."
"Leave it in Engineering. I'll look at it tomorrow morning."
"Rise and shine, Lieutenant! Early bird gets the gagh!"
"I'm a doctor. not a peeping Tom."
"That's called a joke."
"Joke. A verbal comment or jesture designed to provoke laughter."
"I see you've got your mother's sense of humour."
"This is a ship of exploration."
"I am an explorer."
"We all are."
"We are Borg."
"Well, no..."
"They will attempt to assimilate you." (7)
"THEY WILL FAIL!"
"If you die, it will hurt me." (7)
"You will adapt."

I'm going to guess the episode that introduced species 8427 or whatever it was called.
