Summary
The Enterprise is diverted three light years off of its scheduled course to Planet Q, lured by word of a new synthetic food which promises to ease chronic shortages on Cygnia Minor. But what Doctor Thomas Leighton actually wants to show his childhood friend Kirk is merely a travelling Shakespearian actor, Anton Karidian. Leighton believes Karidian to be Kodos the Executioner, a man who seized control of the Tarsus IV colony in 2246 and murdered half its population. Of the 4000 survivors, only nine--including the young Kirk and Leighton--ever saw the face of the revolutionary governor.
Though convinced Kodos is long dead, Kirk does enough research to pique his curiosity about Leighton's claim. He returns to the planet in hopes of meeting Karidian in person. At a party at the Leightons' home, Kirk meets Karidian's daughter Lenore, who looks resplendent after having been up to no good. The two leave the party to stroll in the desert, and come upon the body of their host.
Following Leighton's suspicions, Kirk calls in a favor: he gets Jon Daily, captain of the Astral Queen, to leave Planet Q orbit ahead of schedule and without notice. This strands the Karidian Players, who now have no choice but to ask for passage aboard the Enterprise.
Researching, Kirk reviews the list of the nine eye witnesses, and discovers Lieutenant Kevin Riley as one of the eyewitnesses. Despite the fact that he recently was promoted from engineering to communications, Kirk orders Spock to demote Riley back to engineering.
Spock becomes concerned about the captain's behavior and confides in Dr. McCoy, while Kirk proceeds to get more involved with Lenore. Spock does his own research and learns enough to raise his own suspicions, including the disturbing fact that of the nine eyewitnesses who could positively identify Kodos, seven are now dead. And whenever one died, the Karidian Players were somewhere near. Only Kirk and Lieutenant Kevin Riley remain alive.
With a plate of food at his side, Riley broods while alone in engineering and calls to the rec room, and to cheer him up, Uhura plays and sings him a song. Feeling a little better, Riley reaches for his drink and takes a long gulp. Uhura finishes her song and we suddenly see Riley choking.
As Riley lies in critical condition, Spock realizes that if he dies, Kirk will be the next target. Spock is certain that Riley was poisoned and with McCoy confront Kirk. Spock is now certain Karidian and Kodos are the same man, but Kirk remains unsure. Their discussion is interrupted by the hum of a overloading phaser. Somewhere in Kirk's quarters is a potential explosive that can take out the entire deck. Kirk finds and disposes of it seconds before it explodes.
Kirk is finally driven to confront Karidian, asking him point blank whether he is Kodos. Karidian gives him evasive answers, and after twenty years of playing parts that of all things, he is tired. He does perform a short speech for the purposes of voice comparison. Meanwhile, in sickbay, the recovering Lieutenant Riley overhears McCoy's log entry, learning that Karidian is suspected of being Kodos, the man who murdered Riley's family. The voiceprint comparison is close, very close, but Kirk argues that when a man's life is at stake, very close isn't good enough. Kodos, Kirk and Harrison held at bay by Lenore Karidian. Kodos, Kirk and Harrison held at bay by Lenore Karidian.
The Karidian Players begin a presentation of Hamlet. Riley, with a stolen phaser, sneaks backstage. Kirk manages to talk him out of killing Karidian, who overhears their sotto voce conversation.
Kirk is still backstage when Karidian and his daughter Lenore discuss what he overheard. Karidian is distressed over hearing the 'voice of a part that he played long ago' But he learns, to his horror, that Lenore not only knows about the nine, but killed seven of the nine witnesses who could identify him. Lenore goes on to tell him innocently that she plans to kill the remaining two after the performance.
Karidan is horrified that his daughter has spilled more blood on 'his' hands, but she proclaims that 'they had to be silenced', and says, all with a smile on her face, that she buried those ghosts for him. Karidan is devastated that in spite all his attempts to save his daughter from his past that she did all this. Lenore continues with a dreamy smile that she has 'saved him.' And declares to Kirk that the people she killed weren't innocent but 'dangerous' and she would have killed a world to protect her father.
Kirk summons security to take them into custody; Lenore snatches Security officer Harrison's weapon and runs on stage. Her eyes show she's quite insane (reminiscent of Lady Macbeth and/or Ophelia). Karidian, desperate there should be no more blood on his hands, steps between her and Kirk as she fires; the shot is fatal. Twenty years after earning the name, Kodos the Executioner is dead.

Robin Lefler was played by Ashley Judd. Lefler is also featured in the Star Trek: New Frontier series of novels. In April 2002, ZENtertainment (a now-defunct Hollywood news source) reported "Ashley Judd was on Letterman the other night to promote her new movie, High Crimes. Dave surprised her with a clip of her appearance on TNG, where she went on a date with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton). Judd mentioned that she was reprising the role (of Robin Lefler) in Star Trek Nemesis as Wesley's wife." [1] [2] This was also reported by About Sci-Fi, which added to the report "... Wil Wheaton, however, says he's heard nothing about that. Somehow, I'm not surprised Wesley doesn't know he’s married." Later on, "Judd's spokesperson denied this cameo appearance." [3] In August 2002, Wil Wheaton found out, and reported, that his scene had been cut from Star Trek Nemesis. There was no mention (by him) about Judd or Lefler.

Felis catus is your taxonomic nomenclature, An endothermic quadruped, carnivorous by nature; Your visual, olfactory, and auditory senses Contribute to your hunting skills and natural defenses.
I find myself intrigued by your sub-vocal oscillations, A singular development of cat communications That obviates your basic hedonistic predilection For a rhythmic stroking of your fur to demonstrate affection.
A tail is quite essential for your acrobatic talents, You would not be so agile if you lacked its counterbalance. And when not being utilized to aid in locomotion It often serves to illustrate the state of your emotion.
Oh Spot, the complex levels of behavior you display Connote a fairly well-developed cognitive array; And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.

i was thinking this morning about the episode where kirk fights the guy (trelane? i think that was it) who seems ridiculously menacing and all-powerful but in the end turns out to be a spoiled kid from some Q-like omnipotent race. the way kirk intimidates him in the last scene, before he's even learned the "secret" ("you've got a lot to learn about living...in fact, you've gotta lot to learn about EVERYTHING, haven't you?") is fucking awesome.

You are wrong about TOS and TNG, but that is one of my all time classic hall of fame fave episodes.
Also the one where they wake up the frozen 21st century businessman (He's like a cowboy/oilman/texan or something?) and he's really vulgar and all confused that they don't have money or cars or TV. Great.

Star Trek: The Original Series produced many famous out-takes, which were shown to the delight of fans at gatherings over the years and have been extensively bootlegged. One famous example shows actor Leonard Nimoy, who plays the supposedly emotionless Mr. Spock, breaking into laughter when, in the first season episode "This Side of Paradise", instead of saying the line "The plants act as a repository", says "The plants act as a suppository". In another out-take, series star William Shatner breaks character during a scene and starts complaining about the food served in the studio commissary. A third example begins with the third season episode "Is There in Truth No Beauty?", in which guest actress Diana Muldaur recited the line, "We've come to the end of an eventful...trip", to which Shatner replies, "I don't know what you've been taking..." -- a reference to the then-topical issue of drug-induced hallucinations or "trips". People bumping into supposedly automatic doors when the backstage personnel mistimed opening them was a common accident depicted. Similarly there were also mishaps while filming in exterior, with aircraft flying over supposedly alien planets.

later in the episode, only 20 minutes before the planet-eating cloud reaches mantilles
kirk: bob, have you finished the evacuation? bob: yes ... there was some hysteria at first ... but we're finished now. kirk: bob ... bob: it was only five thousand CHILDREN ... out of EIGHTY-TWO MILLION PEOPLE kirk: bob, where's elizabeth? bob: here, with me ... kirk: hold on bob ... it'll be okay ...

that leaves only the groundhog day episode (s05, cause and effect) and the lolcutus 2x episode (no idea what season that was in).

At the end Picard says that this was the only way for the aliens to get into contact with human beings. Unfortunately they killed one crew member by doing it, and Riker states that they were more than just curious.

All good episodes, I'd also include Darmok and The Inner Light from s5, too excellent Picard-centred eps.
Also Sarek from s3 - a pretty uneventful episode for the most part, until two very dramatic and haunting scenes in the last 10 minutes.
― Duane Barry, Tuesday, 25 January 2011 11:51 (fourteen years ago)

― nanoflymo (ledge), Tuesday, 25 January 2011 13:20 (fourteen years ago)
Saw TNG S3 ep "The Hunted", about the Enterprise capturing and attempting to return a genetically modified super soldier to his home planet. The scenes where the guy was expertly eluding the crew and giving them the runaround with false clues as he attempted to escape the ship were really well done. Cool to see the Enterprise crew outsmarted on their own turf. Even better for what the writers didn't have the soldier guy do, e.g. take over the bridge and commandeer the whole ship, which has been done to death.
― Dan I., Saturday, 2 July 2011 19:39 (fourteen years ago)
watched a couple really good ones tonight, both from season 5. the two parter 'time's arrow' featuring the death of data, time-travel, and mark twain. also 'conundrum' in which the crew of the enterprise have their memories wiped and CHAOS ENSUES incl riker getting busy with both ensign ro and troi as well as worf assuming command lol.

there are some pretty messed-up voyager episodes in the later seasons! one in particular has the crew discovering they aren't actually voyager, but a copy that happened after a biomimetic planet encountered the ship. they're happily on their way to the alpha quadrant when everyone's body and the ship itself start breaking down.
