Which episode had Picard quieting an argument by tapping on the table?

I was gonna respond to the marriage thing, but… well, it’s an imbecilic comment isn’t it?

That's where I've seen that take before! The infamous "fan letter" to the DS9 writers!

Am I the only one that wants to know how you crush something or someone with a hole in the ground?

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Yes.

Also… No?

Hear ! Hear! Well written! Aargh!

Sisko The Chrome Dome turned out to be a religious fundamentalist who believed in a race of “Founders”. He was in charge of a vessel that never went anywhere. I’ve seen maybe three or four episodes. Unwatchable New Age dreck. Sisko was NOT an action hero. End of rant.

I honestly can't tell if this is satirical or not. It feels like it is?

I know what it feels like, but I can't mention it here.

This was in the conference room off the main bridge. Riker, Worf, Troi, and I thing Crusher were having an argument with Data sitting by quietly. After a bit Picard tapped his fingertip on the table and everyone else instantly shut up. Which episode was this?

Skin of Evil where Tasha Yar was killed by that sludge oil slick monster Armus. The crew as expected were all pretty emotional in the immediate aftermath of Yar's death so Picard quietened the room by tapping on the conference table.

 

[NigellaDeanna20]

Fair enough.

I think it’s Skin of Evil anyway.

The scene I *think* you are describing is after Tasha dies, back on board the Enterprise. There’s kind of an argument about it all and Picard raps the table to shut everyone up.

yes it deffinately is from my memory.

Good grief, you guys. I ask about a specific scene in a specific episode and the thread devolves into an epistemological battle of rants with pseudo-religious overtones?!? Really, y'all need to read a book.

There are over 1300 Star Trek novels in existence, & you have stumbled into the most likely place on earth where each of them has been read by someone here

It's somewhat rude to crash into a community that's quarter of a century old and call out everyone

It's also rather antithetical to join a message board specifically dedicated to discussing a tv series & movie franchise & then tell them they watch too much tv/movies, by suggesting they should read books, of which that franchise has countless, that many here have read lol

The best selling book in history is the Bible. I suspect that would provoke substantial debate here as well.
