Name That STAR TREK Episode...

Not Catspaw nor Spock's Brain. Both were good guesses, but not it.

2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?
 
Shore Leave?
Face plant into tree.
Yeoman Tonia Barrows has the hands.
McCoy gets two girls at the end.
Kirk gets Ruth.
Fighter plane has an American star in one shot, and a Japanese sun in another. (loops in air)

Wow. Nice reasoning job!

"FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY"?

That was my next guess but I was away from a keyboard all day Wednesday and couldn't enter it.

Yes!
First clue: A star becomes a sun.
-wow, that first clue is really throwing people for a loop-d-loop.
Grumman Hellcat has US markings (star) at first and then Japanese markings(sun.) Airplanes sometimes loop.
Second clue: Someone really benefits from another's awkward moment.
McCoy's awkward "well I am on shore leave" moment with Barrows ultimately leaves Sulu with a cabaret girl on each arm.
Third clue: A face plant like no other.
SPOCK: This is definitely a mechanical contrivance. It has the same basic cell structure as the plants here, even the trees, the grass.
KIRK: Are you saying this is a plant, Mister Spock? In reference to the Black Knight (close up on face)

Fourth clue: Regarding clue number two, doubly blessed.
See above. There are two cabaret girls.
Fifth clue: It takes a deft hand to work out the kinks.
Barrows gives Kirk the back massage in the opening teaser.

You turn.

Argh!!! Those are really good clues. I am mad at myself because I knew "face plant" was going to be a pun and I should have remembered those lines about the Black Knight. Good job.

2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?

Hmm, sounds like Wolf in the Fold. Hengist is the possible dead man walking as there's a debate about whether he was possessed or just a dead body that Redjac animated, and the ship having two of something could refer to Hengist grabbing the knife (after being "reanimated") when it seemed to be elsewhere during the rest of the briefing room scene.
 
1st Clue: Dead man walking?
2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?

The Alternative Factor?
The 2 Lazaruses, and one of them is doomed to die at the hands of the other at some point.
 
Not Wolf in the Fold. Not Alternative Factor.
Argh!!! Those are really good clues. I am mad at myself because I knew "face plant" was going to be a pun and I should have remembered those lines about the Black Knight. Good job.
I still think the face plant clue better fit Angela's face plant into the tree. We've discussed that scene on these boards many times as to whether she just runs into the tree, or she is machine gunned down by the Zero. Alas, I was wrong, but still WON! :lol:
 
Wolf in the Fold was already guessed and rejected. Since this is a repeat answer, I think you can guess again right away.
 
I'll go with The Savage Curtain. Lincoln walks with the spear in his back and then collapses (with some awesome drama). Evil destroys him, and Surak. Uhura gives Lincoln an (unfortunately offscreen - I would have loved to see that) tour of engineering, which could refer to the ongoing debate about how many engine rooms the Enterprise had.
 
Great logic. Your are so close, Phase, but still wrong. Not "Curtain" but savage all the same. Yes, the debate on many engine rooms, continues.
 
Argh!!! Those are really good clues. .
Consider it a commentary on the caliber of the posters playing :techman:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Way to Eden

1st Clue: Dead man walking?
Dr Severin is a carrier of a deadly disease that will ultimately decimate any back-to-nature colony that is founded.
2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?
Galileo II - nuff said
3rd Clue: Evil destroys Good.
Good
ol' Adam eats from the symbolic Tree of Good and Evil and is destroyed
 
Another great guess with impeccable logic, but nope, wrong way with Eden. :weep: TOS, like the Bible, really liked stories about good and evil. Angels and Devils.

4th Clue: Good shall always destroy evil.

Summary:
1st Clue: Dead man walking?
2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?

- Yes, the debate on many engine rooms, continues.
3rd Clue: Evil destroys Good.
- ...for the enemy is all around.
- ...but savage all the same.
4th Clue: Good shall always destroy evil.

Woo-hoo! Sub-clues! I love sub-clues! :lol:
I'm the master. A new clue lets you go again, if you want.
Summary:
1st Clue: Dead man walking? :wtf:
2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?

- Yes, the debate on many engine rooms, continues. :crazy:
3rd Clue: Evil destroys Good.
- ...for the enemy is all around.
- ...but savage all the same.
4th Clue: Good shall always destroy evil.
- Bible
- Angels and Devils. :angel: & :devil:
 
Yeah, the subclues are truly great.

Okay, Day of the Dove.

-Johnson should have been dead but he's up and about.
-If all but 38 crewmen were trapped "below decks" then that should have included any engineering room in the secondary hull, but of course Engineering is shown and is decidedly not cut off. Accordingly, engineering had to be in the primary hull. Complicating things is the entity seen leaving the secondary hull at the end. So maybe there were two engine rooms, which doesn't really solve the issue, but could help ID the episode.
-The entity seems to be all about the good/evil dichotomy.
-Scotty refers to the Klingons as "devils."
 
Space Seed?

1st Clue: Dead man walking?
Khan had been presumed dead centuries earlier
2nd Clue: The ship had two of these?
- Yes, the debate on many engine rooms, continues.
Kirk & Khan fight in the engine room
3rd Clue: Evil destroys Good.
- ...for the enemy is all around.
- ...but savage all the same.

Khan and his followers take over the ship so are all around and fairly savage
4th Clue: Good shall always destroy evil.
- Bible
- Angels and Devils

Khan is exiled to Ceti Alpha VI, cast down like the angel Lucifer to reign in hell
