Name That STAR TREK Episode...

[Steven P Bastien]

The Gamesters of Triskelion

Congrats. You got it! Your turn Odona Kirk.

1. Grey matter = brain, but brain times 3 must be the Gamesters
2. Kirk/Chekov/Uhura are the trio, the planet Triskelion is in a trinary-sun system, and the 3 brainy Gamesters rule like a triumvirate.

Discofan gets 1/3 credit and an honorable mention.

 

[Discofan]

I didn't remember the trinary-sun detail.

 

[Joanna McCoy-Kirk]

Thank you @Steven P Bastien.

Clue 1: It played in Peoria but not in Peine.

Brain and Brain! What is Brain!

Thank you @Steven P Bastien.

The Conscience Of The King

 

[Joanna McCoy-Kirk]

No, sorry.

Patterns Of Force

 

[Joanna McCoy-Kirk]

Oh, you got it! (Peine is a city in Germany, and this episode was banned in Germany for several years.) Please carry on, @Discofan.

Thank you! It occurred to me that the Germans might have censored that episode.


Random episode...

Clue:
1) Kirk could have been offended by that.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

To me, the most offensive thing you can do to Kirk is steal his ship. And who did it? His friend and first officer, which cuts twice as deep. So, I have to guess it is ...

The Menagerie.

 

[Discofan]

Sorry, but no.


Good reasoning though...

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Sorry, but no.


Good reasoning though...

Not even 1/3 credit?

 

[Discofan]

Not even 1/3 credit?

You can take a pet from the menagerie.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

You can take a pet from the menagerie.

Well, that's an easy one. ... Let's go Vina!

 

[Discofan]

Well, that's an easy one. ... Let's go Vina!

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Oh ... I get it. The next clue is not seen, as if it is obscured by a cloaking device.

I will guess "Balance of Terror" .

1. Kirk could have been offended by Stile's brazenness.
2. Invisible clue means cloaked and the Romulan ship is cloaked in this episode.

If that is not correct, I think I will get it on my second guess.

 

[Discofan]

Sorry, no luck so far.

Clues:
1) Kirk could have been offended by that.
New clue:
2) An infallible detector.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Ah, "Court Martial".

1. Kirk could have been offended by many things in this episode. Stone and those two guys in the bar were particularly insulting.

It seems the second clue was just playing dead, like Finney.

2. The sound detector for the heart beats was infallible.

 

[Discofan]

Nice try but no.

"Trouble with Tribbles"

1. Another episode where Kirk could be offended by many things, although in a less serious context.

2. Tribbles are infalible "Klingon detectors"
