What episode is the most unreferenced?
- Thread starter JoeZhang
- Start date
"Shades of Grey" (TNG)
I suspect this thread will turn into someone mentioning an episode, and then the encyclopedic experts coming up with the few times it is actually referenced. Which sounds like fun!

^ I concur; ENT usually only gets minor references here and there, not really any episodic references to say, Demons or Terra Prime. Maybe the occasional Xindi War reference.
Erm... Enterprise's Columbia NX-02 featured heavily in Destiny, the biggest thing to happen to Trek novels in a very long time. Enterprise references are everywhere in Trek lit.
I'd say the least referenced is.... "The Magicks of Megas Tu". Or possibly "The Infinite Vulcan" (Bring back Giant Spock Clone!!)

^That one escaped me, sorry. I have no excuse, since Destiny is one of my favorite of the Trek books!
^ I think there was later episode of VOY were someone said warp 10 was impossible.
Man I don't remember that at all. Are you sure? Which story?
The Torias one. The shuttle accident that kills him is related to the Excelsior's transwarp experiments.
Threshold also gets a very brief reference in Homecoming, when Mark's wife Carla asks Janeway if she ever thought of having children. Janeway considers bringing up the lizard babies but wisely decides not to...
I don't think "The Alternative Factor" has been referenced in any tie-ins... no, wait, there is one Strange New Worlds story that features Lazarus.
The Torias Dax story, "Infinity" by Susan Wright, has Torias (Dax's shortest-lived host, killed in an accident 6 months after joining) lose his life testing the same transwarp theory seen in "Threshold," as part of the development of the Excelsior's transwarp drive in the TOS movie era.

I believe there is an oblique reference in Watching the Clock - Christopher has stated that he tried to reference every Trek episode involving time travel.
EDIT: Yup. Page 121.
Ooh, I got one. TNG "Masks."
I'd be very surprised if that crapfest got a mention anywhere.

Ha, wrong!
The D'Arsay are referenced in a STO mission. In there, you have to scan their graves and find out the were poikliothermic, i.e. amphibian. That's why they revere the sun so much.Also, when I was a child, this was one of my favourite episodes.
