Name That STAR TREK Episode...
- Thread starter Farscape One
- Start date
Captain Kirk and Dr. Helen Noel both mention that they spent time together during and after the Enterprise Christmas party in “The Dagger of the Mind”.
"BREAD AND CIRCUSES"?
Uhura makes the connection of the sun worshippers are really worshipping the son of god, Christ.

A good guess, but "You have been too long absent from the games, @Farscape One."
@Steven P Bastien beat you to the punch with the correct answer. You have the game, and Merry Christmas and Noel

Don't let the Yule Tide disguise fool you. Inside, I'm still the mischievous Henoch.
1st Clue: We got a Thanksgiving show and a Halloween show. I guess this was the closest episode to be a Christmas themed show even though it was after the fact.
I think you've won the internet for the best Holiday name and avatar!
Clue #1 Speaking of Christmas episodes, we could stretch it and say this is a Christmas episode in the sense that a couple is shopping and an effort is being made to feed the hungry.
"THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER"?
Kirk and Spock shop for tools for their gadgets, and the Mission they are in feeds the homeless.

Good answer, but I must declare it wrong. To the best of my knowledge we never see Spock and Kirk shopping together. It is likely that they did, but there seems no mention of it. They do steal clothes together, which comes close and it is likely that they did shop together to get the initial radio supplies. I expected someone to make this guess, but I thought he/she would claim that Edith and Kirk went shopping, but again, there is no clear mention of it in the script.
Clue #2 My guess is that a key plot device in this episode was closely based on the real work of someone who later received a Nobel Peace Prize for his decades of work that led to alleviating famines and world hunger problems.

Well, Kirk did buy groceries, but if you call it wrong, must be a different episode.
I'll guess "THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES".
Uhura and Chekov are shopping in the bar, and they feed a tribble. An astronomer and the triticale creator is mentioned in the teaser, too.
All three answers are good ones. I disqualify TCOTEOF based on Kirk shopping alone and not as a couple, although reason suggests that at some time he probably shopped with either Spock or Edith. I disqualify EOM on the basis that the Organians are not actually hungry. 
That leaves the congratulations to go to Farscape One for his answer of "The Trouble With Tribbles". Uhura and Chekov are clearly shopping, by their own admission, and indeed the Tribbles are hungry. There is also an effort to help feed the people of Sherman's Planet which must be facing famine threats because of the difficulty of growing grains there.
Control is now transferred over to Farscape One.
For clue #2, it is my speculation that the work of Norman Ernest Borlaug, who developed high-yield and disease resistant wheat varieties, may have been the inspiration of the plot device used in "The Trouble with Tribbles".
From Wiki ...
Norman Ernest Borlaug (March 25, 1914 – September 12, 2009) was an American agronomist who led initiatives worldwide that contributed to the extensive increases in agricultural production termed the Green Revolution. Borlaug was awarded multiple honors for his work, including the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Borlaug took up an agricultural research position in Mexico, where he developed semi-dwarf, high-yield, disease-resistant wheat varieties. During the mid-20th century, Borlaug led the introduction of these high-yielding varieties combined with modern agricultural production techniques to Mexico, Pakistan, and India. As a result, Mexico became a net exporter of wheat by 1963. Between 1965 and 1970, wheat yields nearly doubled in Pakistan and India, greatly improving the food security in those nations.
Borlaug was often called "the father of the Green Revolution", and is credited with saving over a billion people worldwide from starvation.

"THE EMPATH" is correct! Here are my explanations...
1. That's a lot of physical pain... McCoy has been put through the wringer with all the Vians did to him.
2. A willing participant... The Vians want Gem to be a willing participant in taking on the others pain. What you said about McCoy also applies.
Yonder Star, your have the bridge.
