I don't remember the exact reason for the fight. I think the king wanted Tasha for his harem. Anyway, Tasha and the princess fought with poisoned gloves. I think that Tasha actually killed her, so that she was no longer officially married, making the king no longer the possessor of her wealth. Dr. Crusher brought her back to life, of course.

Right-it's the episode "Code of Honor."
Supposedly, Patrick Stewart hated it because it's sexist.
It's episode 4, I think, for the series.
The Enterprise dealt with the Ligonians because they had a vaccine that
was needed to prevent a plague on a planet. The leader there demonstrated
his bravery by "counting coup"-in this case, kidnapping Tasha Yar.
(Apparently, she lacked the reflexes to stop him...)
Data's explanation led to his shot about French.
When it's time to return her, he says he wants to marry her, and his wife
challenges it-by combat to the death (with the poisoned gloves.)
If she dies, her husband gets her wealth (so he wins no matter what.)
I had 2 problems with this episode, which were obvious when watching it.
Problem 1: "Nothing is allowed to interrupt the fight."
Someone loses a weapon. "Interrupt the fight." WHAT?
You JUST SAID that's not allowed. Plus, you wanted her to lose ANYWAY.
Problem 2: Ligonian law, apparently, isn't very clever.
The only end to the battle was "to the death."
Supposedly, the wife was KILLED (which means her property reverts
to her husband at her death) and was later REVIVED by Starfleet.
That's how they explained it-she DIED- which meant they did NOT
interfere with the combat. When she was REVIVED, however,
there's no legal basis for RETURNING her property, which converted
That's the one. And yes, the fourth "Klingon" was O'Brien. "Apocalypse Rising." There was also the sub-plot explaining Nana Visitor's pregnancy by saying that Miles and Keiko's child was implanted in Kira as an emergency procedure to save Keiko and the baby. Kira yells at Bashir, "You did this to me!", a cute nod to the fact that Alexander Siddig was the father of Nana's child.

" He's very frightened. All his life he's been in control. For once, he doesn't have the answers."
I'm not very sure, but could it be the TNG episode with the mute ambassador? I think his name was Riva.
If this is the episode, I can give more information about it if this isn't enough... but first I'd like to know if I'm not confusing the episode with another one...

That's the episode- "Loud as a Whisper"- and that's the ambassador.
Feel free to add a few details if you want-you covered enough for the answer.
(A little more information wouldn't hurt, however.)

Can I just say it was the one with the bald, blue android, and can we move this along in some way?
I don't care who takes the next turn.

That's not a terrific description, either, but okay.
"What Are Little Girls Made of?"
Steve!, WW, Maddy, anyone jump in.

Sherry Jackson-who was Danny Thomas' daughter on 'Make Room For Daddy', is the lovely android there.
come to think of it, Danny's other tv daughter, Angela Cartright, went on to play Penny on 'Lost in Space'
as far as I know, none of Danny's REAL daughters, (Marlo, Terry ) ever made it to the stars.
don't mind me-it's a slow work day.

"That's from an obscure language called French --"
"A language which for centuries on Earth represented civilization, Mister Data."
"Indeed?"

Obviously an early NG episode. I'll guess "Encounter at Farpoint."

Obvious clues next, if you don't get it from these.
"It's not easy being funny wearing these teeth."
"Brag all you want! But don't get between me and the bloodwine!"

Ok.
This one is the Deep Space 9 episode where 4 DS9'ers (Sisko, Odo, Worf, and I forget the 4th) were disguised
as Klingons entering the Order of the Bat'lelth, in order to infiltrate the Klingons and confirm that Gowron
had been replaced by a changeling.

*whispers to WordWolf* O'Brien. The forth "Klingon" was O'Brien. :)
