"Ménage à Troi" is pretty funny wordplay. And remarkably risqué considering.

Along similar wordplay lines, "A Fistful of Datas" is a real standout.

Movie-wise The Final Frontier is a vastly, VASTLY better title than Star Trek V deserved.
 
I'm guessing that nobody (other than maybe an incorrigible Latin geek) would nominate DS9: "Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges" for this honor.

I know I certainly wouldn't.
 
Some of my favourite titles:

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield


That Which Survives

The Naked Now

And an honorable mention for the highly pretentious

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
