Name That Episode, TNG Edition...

[Discofan]

"Preemptive Strike"

 

[Armus]

Deja Q?

 

[penguin44]

Hide and Q!

 

[JirinPanthosa]

Deja Q?

Correct!

Clue 1) Eat any good books lately?
Clue 2) Guinan stabs Q with the fork
Clue 3) Data gets the gift of laughter

 

[penguin44]

@Armus you're up!

 

[Discofan]

Missed it!

 

[Armus]

1. Unnecessary etiquette.

 

[penguin44]

Cost of Living?

 

[Discofan]

Angel One?

 

[Armus]

Incorrect good guesses!

2. Custom Courtesy.

 

[Discofan]

Justice? The people were very courteous until they weren't.

 

[Armus]

The Edo aren't the answer. One more guess before another clue.

 

[JirinPanthosa]

I'm trying to remember which episode it was that Picard had to memorize that very grammatically specific greeting to open diplomatic relations.

I can't remember so I'll go with Darmok.

Which other episode was Picard indisposed for the entire episode?

 

[penguin44]

The big goodbye?

 

[Farscape One]

"Firstborn"?

Except for the conference room scene in the beginning, Picard was absent the whole episode.

 

[Armus]

Those are all interesting guesses and they all fit the clues I have listed.

3. A necessary confession of humility.

 

[penguin44]

Family? Robert teaches JP some humility

 

[Armus]

Good guess but no. These clues can used be multiple episodes.

 

[Discofan]

Conundrum? Seems to fit somehow. For example, Worf is forced to humbly concede "his" captain chair to Picard.

 

[penguin44]

Encounter at Farpoint?
