Game: Identify the episode

[Hopeful Romantic]

I had two possible guesses last time -- one was Acquisition, the other is...

The Andorian Incident. Vulcans lying, Archer out of action, T'Pol "betraying" Vulcan by exposing the spying station...

 

[sekundant]

Ohhh sorry no.
I thought at least hint of goddess Fortuna gives enough clue. Well, it is FORTUNATE SON.

1- Vulcans tell always the truth. (Even when they lie!)
A funny early T‘Pol moment. T'Pol saw a little girl hiding at behind the panels. Another child who played hide and seek with her came and asked T'Pol if she has seen the Nadine, she answers she doesn‘t know a child which is named Nadine.

2-An experienced person tells a insider tip about baby makings.
Travis as a boomer child tells at the warp 1.8, crew of cargo ships has too much time between ports, so how his parents „wound up“ with him.

3- Is human ethic universal? For this case, I agree with Archer, it has to be.
Archer is not agree with taking a Nausicaan as hostage and torturing him. Acting captain Ryan says that he is not human, so human ethic is not relevant for his hostage.

4-Rage is not a good adviser.
Ryan acts like a bull in china shop and bring his ship and crew in danger, directly to the Nausicaan trap.

5- If the captain disabled, the person at the chain of command must have the right skills.
Ryan is the first officer and all the decisions which he made during his captain was disabled made him questionable for his position. After captain healed, he degraded him to crewman.

Bonus: Nausicaans are first encountered at TNG‘s Tapestry and Fortunate Son is directed by LeVar Burton.

6-If you don't be a nice guy, you should give your present back!
After Ryan refused to hand over the Nausicaan hostage, Archer ordered Trip to remove all the updates and new components.

7- Questioning someone's loyalty and accusing him as betrayer is not motivating.
Ryan is not happy about Travis's decision for joining Starfleet. He thinks Travis left his family alone, betrayed them and his boomer identity. Not a good way to motivate someone to change his decision.

Thank you @HopefulRomantic for the playing game with me. Nevertheless, I don't think it is funny to play alone

So, who wants to continue?

 

[Farscape One]

I was pretty stumped the whole way through. I try not to guess in these games unless I am fairly confident in my answers.

I don't think so much. What could be happen? People may think I didn't watch the episode or maybe I am not good/ intelligent/ smart enough? I don't care. I am here to have fun, see the things eyes of others, sharing my passion with other Trek people. It makes me happy and thankful all you guys to make it possible. If one day, I feel more stress to be here than having fun, I will quit. That's all, but it is my way of perception. I respect your way too, but I would rather that you contributed some answers for this round. I like how you argue your ideas.

 

[sekundant]

Ohhh, I forgot to ask. I know some clues perfectly matched to other episodes, but that's all about the game. Although, I thought some clues were so clear. Plus, hot/cold thing should help. What did you miss? How can we optimize the game?
[Of course I know, ENT fan community is not as huge as it should be. I know, people doesn't watch everyday ENT to know every little detail, but Trek people is known for their love to detail.]

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Well done, sekundant! My problem is, it's been a long time since I've seen some of these eps, and I don't remember all the teensy trivia details. But the teeny details make for fun clues.

 

[sekundant]

Well, no one wants to ask. Then I tried with random generator:

@Brain Melter /Discofan your turn.
Of course, I don't want to force someone to do something which he/she doesn't want to.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

You can give it 48 hours like the Line-by-Line folks do. If no response, throw the Random die again.

 

[sekundant]

Sorry, I am a little bit late. Second round:

I forgot to disable f.lux, sorry.

@Beautiful and Terrible Romantic your turn.

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Alrighty, let's see if I can break my record!

1. An act of heroism.

 

[Farscape One]

Please let it not be "THESE ARE THE VOYAGES...", when Trip sacrificed himself to save Archer.

TATV cannot be..It is not ENT episode (well, I am not even sure if it is a Trek episode, somehow)

First Flight?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

You two crack me up. Happily, it is not The Thing . (Personally, I thought Trip's clumsy, dopey "sacrifice" made him look like Larry, Moe, Curly and Shemp all rolled into one. )

Nor is it First Flight. And we're off and running!

2. A TOS reference revived in formidable fashion.

 

[sekundant]

Chosen Realm?

 

[Farscape One]

"OBSERVER EFFECT"?

The Organians appear here, and Archer acts heroically.

 

[Prax]

The Andorian Incident?

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

Great guesses! But no.

3. Archer's chivalry goes unappreciated.

 

[sekundant]

Civilization?

 

[Prax]

In a Mirror Darkly?

1. An act of heroism.
-Evil Phlox decides to risk his life and help the rebel cause
2. A TOS reference revived in formidable fashion.
-The Defiant comes on screen and blows up everything!
3. Archer's chivalry goes unappreciated.
-Archer spares Captain Forrest, but Captain Forrest later orders Archer to be killed because of it

 

[Hopeful Romantic]

I love the reasoning for your guess! Archer is so chivalrous-- Civilization made me swoon -- even in the Mirror Universe, lol. But sorry, no to both.

4. Farewell to an old friend.
