Test your "NAME THAT EPISODE" Know How

Greetings, I already posted this in the tech forum, but thought it might be some fun here.

This here:
The Physics of Starship Battles
Is an educational film I just uploaded this morning, where I explain physics concepts by using well-known sci fi shows. This particular ep uses heavy doses of Battlestar and DS9, TNG, Yoy, and ENT.
Now if you watch it to learn something (dont worry, its painless :angel:) you wont regret it, but since I exhausted almost my entire video collection to find appropriate clips to use, lets have a "WHO CAN NAME THE MOST SPECIFIC EPS" Contest.
Can YOU, based on only a 5 sec clip (if that), name the EXACT episode that the clip came from? There's plenty for everyone, its an 8 minute movie and I lay on the starship battles fast and thick with clips from all 4 modern series.
The prize? To be honest, a pat on the back, administered by yourself. But its YOUR back. :D
So whose game? (And please comment while you're there, if you would, I've got 3 other movies just like this one there too.)
 
The ones I got:

"Yesterday's Enterprise" (TNG) (3x)
"Emissary" (DS9) (2x)
"Star Trek: Generations" (2x)
"Jurrasic Park"
"The Matrix"
"Battlestar Galactica" (The Miniseries)
"The Changing Face of Evil" (DS9) (It's where the Defiant is destroyed.) (2x)
"In A Mirror, Darkly" (ENT)
"Sacrifice of Angels" (DS9)
"Resurrection Ship" (BSG) (Not so sure on that one ...)

:( Makes me sad that I don't remember where so many of the DS9 battle shots are from ...

Interesting vid, though ...
 
I was bored so...

as for Trek you used clips from:

Yesterday's Enterprise
The Search part 1
The Jem'Hadar
Descend, part 2
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Changing Face of Evil
Before and After
Generations
Valiant (i think?)
Call to Arms
In Mirror, Darkly part 2
The Best of Both worlds part 1
Sacrifice of Angels
The Way of the Warrior
Darmok
 
So far so good. The only misfires are "Emissary" and "Descent." Didnt use them. Battlestar is harder to recognize I realize. Whereas I did use the miniseries, I didnt use "Resurrection Ship." (Not in THIS movie anyway...)

I used Yesterday's Enterprise 3 times? I only remember twice. Have to go back and look. I think there's a couple more eps there.
 
I didn't get many others that haven't been mentioned, but in Battlestar you used "Razor" and I think "Exodus Part 2" and was that "Fire in Space" from the original series?

Yeah, upon rewatching I must say, you're right. What I thought was Sisko on the Saratoga (from "Emissary") is just a scene from "The Jem'Hadar", right?
 
Awesome video!!! Very cool indeed. Confirm Valiant episode in there.

I never saw the Frakes explanation before, when was that on? Was it from the TNG DVDs? Anyway, I very much enjoyed watching that.
 
Upon review, I have to say that "Descent" WAS in there, even though I said it wasnt. Problem is that we're both right, for that 3 seconds didnt technically come from "Descent" per se, but from the same special that I got the Frakes explanation. That was from a TNG send-off special they aired in June 1994 (look closely and you'll see that the bridge he is on is the redressed Enterprise with the 3rd Nacelle). I think I have seen that special on DVD somewhere, just like the Trek 25th anniversary video which was released alongside the movies.

When Frakes fakes the torpedo hit, the special cut to clips from Yesterdays Ent, and Descent. They looked good so I kept them in, even though I cut the clip immediately after that, replacing it with the Sisko shot from The Search.

Meanwhile, most of the Battlestar footage is from RAZOR, just aired last month, and its 3rd flashback with young Adama in the first cylon war. "EXODUS" is in there too (making it the 3rd time I've put that ep in one of my physics movies), and that is indeed "Fire in Space" for us old school fans. ;)
