Name That STAR TREK Episode...

[Steven P Bastien]

How about "The Ultimate Computer"?

Kirk does not welcome the idea of a computer taking over his ship, or only 20 people being left to run her. But, according to Commodore Wesley, all Kirk needs to do is sit back and let the machine do the work.

 

[T'Bonz]

1st Clue: Kirk is given an unwelcome but easy mission.

Journey to Babel.

 

[Henoch]

@Steven P Bastien wins the round, it is The Ultimate Computer. Point on with the clue.

As for Journey to Babel, Kirk thought he could relax, but McCoy knows better:

KIRK: The Vulcans are the last delegates we have to pick up. As soon as we get them aboard, we'll be able to relax.
MCCOY: Sure. A formal reception tonight, a hundred and fourteen delegates aboard for two weeks, thirty two of them ambassadors, (Spock joins them) half of them mad at the other half, and the whole lot touchier than a raw antimatter pile over this Coridan question.​

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Clue # 1 Drink it down, but it is not tranya.

 

[Henoch]

Errand of Mercy?
1. Kor wants to drink with Kirk before his torture appointment.

KOR: You'll have a drink with me, Captain?
KIRK: No, thank you.
KOR: I assure you it isn't drugged. With our mind-scanner, we have no need for such crude methods.

Personally, I'd love to drink with Kor.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

A drink does indeed sound good and we can raise a glass to your incorrect answer.

Clue #2 Is McCoy a doctor or a bartender? His captain was too polite to ask. -Opportunity lost.

 

[Henoch]

The Tholian Web?
1.

(McCoy enters carrying a tray with a flask of orange liquid and three shot glasses.)
SCOTT: What have you got there?
MCCOY: Compliments of the house. To your good health and the health of the crew.
SPOCK: You've found the antidote, Doctor.
MCCOY: Yes, and I've ordered it orally or intravenously for everyone aboard the ship. I would like for you gentlemen to drink it down.

2.

MCCOY: That's right, and in this derivative, mixed with alcohol, it merely deadens certain nerve inputs to the brain.
SCOTT: Oh, well, any decent brand of Scotch will do that.
MCCOY: One good slug of this, and you can hit a man with phaser stun, and he'd never feel it or even know it.
SCOTT: Does it make a good mix with Scotch?
MCCOY: It should.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

Very good Henoch. You are the winner. What is better than your doctor ordering you to have a mixed drink? And, it is while on duty too!

You are up, Henoch.

 

[Henoch]

1st Clue: Is Scotty trying to sabotage the Enterprise?

 

[Steven P Bastien]

In "By Any Other Name", Scotty opened the control valves to the matter-anti-matter nacelles and was prepared to flood them with positive energy.

 

[Henoch]

Not the correct answer. In your case, Scotty succeeded in rigging the ship to blow up, but Kirk couldn't give the order.

2nd Clue: But in this case, Kirk gave the order.

 

[Farscape One]

THE APPLE?

Scotty was ordered to find a way to get the ship loose, and Kirk even said to get rid of the nacelles if he had to.

 

[Henoch]

No bite of the Apple.

3rd Clue: In any event, Scott never got around to it.

 

[Discofan]

Who Mourns For Adonais?

 

[Henoch]

I never invite Apollo to our gods-parties anymore; he always hitting on the girl-gods. No mourning for that Adonais guy.

4th Clue: To think, Security actually stopped nefarious activities on the Enterprise.

 

[Steven P Bastien]

I think I've got it. It is "Mirror Mirror".

1. Scotty attempts to short out the main phaser couplings.

2. Why?
KIRK: Scotty, can you buy me some time. Get below and short out the main phaser couplings. They'll think the storm blew the stand-by circuits.

3. Scotty never actually does this.

4. Why?
SCOTT: I've been ordered to check phaser couplings for possible damage by the storm.
GUARD: Do you have authorisation from security, sir?
SCOTT: Captain's orders.
GUARD: I'll have to check with Security Chief Sulu, sir.
SCOTT: Never mind. I'll attend to it.

 

[Henoch]

Correct on all accounts. It is Mirror, Mirror. The Mirror Universe has much better security. You have the game.

Clue #1 Bad news leads to desertion of one type, then good news leads to desertion of another type.

 

[Henoch]

I just noticed the Discofan morphed into @Brain Melter. The name now matches the avatar. Nice.

 

[Methuselah Flint]

Clue #1 Bad news leads to desertion of one type, then good news leads to desertion of another type.

Hmm.. Another clue?
