Name That STAR TREK Episode...

[Steven P Bastien]

"Friday's Child" will never be the correct answer on Tuesday.

Clue # 3 Did I say that past ruler was cruel? I should have been more poetic and said, "inventive and insensitive". The chilling part is still accurate.

 

[Discofan]

The Conscience Of The King

 

[Steven P Bastien]

No, not "The Conscience of the King".

Clue #4 I wonder if Spock needed to make himself forget about this episode.

 

[Henoch]

Spock's Brain?
1. A triumvirate of the Controller, woman and man, but only the Controller counts and the men and women don't really have a representative.
2. The past-Controller put the men on the cold surface and the women safely and comfortably underground.
3. Ditto, #2.
4. You'd think!

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Very creative fitting of clues to episode Henoch. But, Spock's Brain is not correct and yet you make it seem correct.

Clue #5 Why was he still there? I vote this guy the worst procrastinator in the galaxy.

 

[Henoch]

All Our Yesterdays?
1. All that is left is three Mister Atoz.
2. Zor Kahn the Tyrant was happening in the past, fending off assassination attempts. "Long live, Zor Kahn!"
3. Zarabeth was exiled to a frozen wasteland by Zor Kahn the Tyrant.
4. Spock wants to forget regressing to his primitive Vulcan state, and that "it happened" as McCoy claims.
5. Mister Atoz waits until the last second to finally make his escape.

I wouldn't call him a procrastinator. He stayed to make sure that everyone got to their time period. I call that work ethics. Like a captain who's last to leave his ship (when it's about to be destroyed).

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Henoch wins it again. Perfect description on the clues. I don't know if anyone remembers the "inventive" and "insensitive" remarks about Zor Kahn from both Zarabeth and Spock.

I like to imagine Mr. Atoz woke up that day with a "to do list" with 2 items on it, written by his wife who knows he likes to lollygag.

1. Don't forget the bread and milk.
2. Get your ass out of there before the sun blows up.

This episode is strange in that people have to be "prepared" to live in a different time, but all other time travel situations in Star Trek do not have this constraint. It is also among the saddest endings. My heart breaks for Zarabeth every time I watch this episode.

 

[Discofan]

In TOS and then In the TOS movies, time travel is a different proposition each time they use it. The same goes for the other series though.

If we lived in the ST universe for real, the laws of physics would change every day but somehow they would manage to do it without us being blown to pieces.

1st Clue: We get accurate Russian history, for once...

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Could be "A Private Little War". In this episode Kirk mentions the Asia conflicts and the super powers arming rival countries.

I'm assuming we have to avoid any episode where Chekov is discussing Russian history

 

[Discofan]

"That Which Survives"

Sulu talks about a meteor hitting Siberia if I remember correctly.

 

[Henoch]

Correct again, @Discofan (love your new avatar! ) It's That Which Survives.

Not APLW, but SPB was correct that the info did not come from Chekov. Sulu gives the correct Russian information:

SULU: Once in Siberia there was a meteor so great that it flattened whole forests and was felt as far away as
KIRK: Mister Sulu, if I'd wanted a Russian history lesson, I'd have brought along Mister Chekov. ​

 

[Discofan]

Thank You!!!

So now it's the usual random selection... (FYI: I don't know at this point what it will be but it could even be TWS, that I just guessed)

Clue:
1) You've got to be kidding me!

 

[Henoch]

The Trouble With Tribbles?
1. All this, for wheat?

BARIS: And now Captain, I want all available security guards. I want them posted around the storage compartments.
KIRK: Storage compartments? Storage compartments?
DARVIN: The storage compartments containing the quadrotriticale.
KIRK: What? What? What's quadrotriticale? (Lurry hands him a small packet) Wheat. So what?

 

[Steven P Bastien]

...it could even be TWS, that I just guessed ...

Clue:
1) You've got to be kidding me!

Um ... did it turn out to be "That Which Survives"? , and your clue is an expression of your astonishment?

 

[Discofan]

Um ... did it turn out to be "That Which Survives"? , and your clue is an expression of your astonishment?

True.

Talk about a coincidence!

Your turn.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Discofan, i recommend you play the lottery.

Clue #1 Speaking of long shots, ... we have our next episode.

 

[Discofan]

The Man Trap?

 

[Henoch]

A Piece Of The Action?

KIRK: Yes, but what you're after is a royal fizzbin, but the odds in getting a royal fizzbin are astron. Spock, what are the odds in getting a royal fizzbin?
SPOCK: I have never computed them, Captain.
KIRK: Well, they're astronomical, believe me.​
