Name That STAR TREK Episode...

Not doomsday

1. Uneven sideburns
2. Neither can quench your thirst.
2a. One object, one person
2b. This is sort of a pun on things that sound like they are related to drinking but aren't.
3. You shouldn't know who that is.
4. Protest the draft
5. Someone has to wait for the next trip

6. Simple, just sell 1,000,000 records.
 
"THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER"?

1. No idea.
2. The phaser that the homeless guy has.
3. McCoy shouldn't know the actor Edith mentioned given movies didn't really exist in McCoy's lifetime.
4. No idea.
5. Uhura, Scotty, and the rest have to wait.
6. They need money for vacuum tubes and equipment. I guess selling that amount of records would net them the needed cash.
 
"THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER"?
Bingo! But I had different reasons for the clues:

1. Uneven sideburns
They walk by Floyd's barbershop, and the running gag about Floyd in The Andy Griffith Show is that he can't trim sideburns level.
2. Neither can quench your thirst.
This is a pun on Spock cracking the safe, which requires listening to Tumblers (also a kind of drinking glass. And that a Joan Collins is an obscure member of the Tom Collins family of cocktails, also drunk from a tumbler coincidentally.
3. You shouldn't know who that is.
In 1930 Clark Gable wasn't a famous leading man yet so Edith shouldn't have known who he was.
4. Protest the draft
This is referencing the extended number of rewrites the script went through and the fact that Ellison objected to Roddenberrys final version. Can also tie into Edith's peace movement.
5. Someone has to wait for the next trip
There are 7 people waiting for the Transporter at the end, but only 6 pads available.
6. Simple, just sell 1,000,000 records.
Spock needs platinum for his project and if you sell a million records you get a Platinum record.


Your turn Farscape One
 
Wolf in the Fold?
1. Redjac gets around quite a bit, but no one ever sees him committing a murder.
 
6. Simple, just sell 1,000,000 records.
Spock's album never gets that many sales. The main criticism was that it was too transcendental:

Wink Of An Eye?
1. Spock stays accelerated to fix the ship like magic.
2. Spock is also "green" in hue and blood.
