It reminded me of a bit in one of Terry Pratchett's novels, where the context is in fact an imminent hanging. And he's British.
Still couldn't tell you where the Trek version comes from.

I, too, cheated and looked it up, and then realised I should have been able to guess it if I'd thought long enough.
So, a British fictional character. Where do people in the future go to interact with fictional characters? (Apart from large plush bears and associates)

Okay, looks like this one won't be got. It's Moriarty in "Ship in a Bottle", which is indeed one of the best TNG episodes. The premise screams Brannon Braga, but it's actually a Rene Echevarria ep. And it has Dr. Westphalen from seaQuest in it!
Next, one of my all-time favourites: "It's easy to be a saint in paradise." (I think I used that one in the FB game, so Wowbagger is disqualified if he's around.)

It's an Eddington quote from DS9, but the specific episode escapes me.

Or not. It sounds like an Eddington quote, though.

I definitely want to say DS9. Maybe from one of the episodes where they go back in time and Sisko is mistaken for Gabriel Bell?

Not Eddington, not "Past Tense", but you do have the series right.
