Name That STAR TREK Episode...

[Steven P Bastien]

Actually, I couldn't possibly have guessed this because your first clue was terribly misstated. You said "HIS homophonic subordinate", which means that the name of the subordinate and HIS are homophonic, not that the name of the subordinate sounds like ONE of the dozens of words used in the statement... That's just nonsense! With clues like that, we are reduced to randomly name episodes until one of us gets a lucky guess. Next time why don't we just pick the winner with a draw? That will be just about as fair.

Well, one tries. You shouldn't feel cheated. Everyone has the same information to work off of. Personally, I feel that "poetic license" is ok in a clue, but that's just my view. I would be willing to steer away from that if you just say so, as you did. There is no need to go storming off and quitting the thread due to a simple bad clue that was given with good intent.

Ok, maybe I overreacted. I'll give it another try.

Thanks Steven!

And now...

Clue # 1
This isn't the first time our good captain falls out with a visitor, and it won't be the last.

Elaan of Troyius?

 

[Methuselah Flint]

Your guess is not as bright as a blade today.

Clue # 2
Well strictly speaking, it is the visitor who falls out with Kirk, however on this occasion he is far from a jerk.

Requiem for Methuselah?

 

[Methuselah Flint]

Elaan of Troyius?

I must have missed this - you are correct - Elaan of Troyius is correct, and the visitor in question is Petri. After being stabbed, he blames Kirk and vows not to speak to him again.

Well done!

The game is yours

Thanks


Here's my first clue:

1) Lucky these fit so well...

 

[Steven P Bastien]

I'll start the ball rolling with "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The control console "fits like a glove" according to Scotty.

"THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT"?

You didn't go where I wanted you to...

 

[Discofan]

"THE ENTERPRISE INCIDENT"?

Not that incident.

2) I think if done today, it would have been denounced as racist... most likely.

Errand of Mercy?
The clothes the Organians provide to Kirk and Spock fit well, which is lucky so they will blend in with the Organian community AND the makeup use on the actors portraying the Klingons 50+ years ago is not 100% acceptable today.

I don't know. The Organians being the powerful energy beings that we know would have no trouble making these clothes out of thin air to the exact measurements of Spock and Kirk. So I don't see it as lucky.

 

[Farscape One]

"PATTERNS OF FORCE"?

Lucky the clothes Kirk and Spock got fit well, and Nazis.

Nice, however, that's not it.

The Squire of Gothos?

The statues of Kirk and Sulu?

Trelane's German impression?
