Well since no one else has responded can I just say it was Spock's Brain..as you posted the fiver for it the other night. ..And if you don't object can I post the next quote since I have several (I think) cool, memorable quotes I'm itching to try...This next one I'm sure we can all agree is one of the most profound, memorable, thought-provoking, soul-stirring quotes in all of Trek:

"What possible use could you make of my intestines?"


Enjoy

It sounds like someone is responding to a typically Klingon threat ("I'll rip out your intestines and wear them for a necklace!") with typically Vulcan or medical literalist dry humor. Probably not ENT. Maybe Holodoc to B'Elanna? McCoy on the outside? He could be quite snarky too.

I'm with evay on both counts (what it sounds like, and having no idea beyond that). Hint?

My hint is that it is a response to a statement by an aggressive Klingon-like species but not Klingons...it also involves a hostage situation. And one of the two series you guessed, evay, is correct. Hope this helps.

I had to Google it. I wouldn't have gotten that. Good one, though. I was right about the dry humor.

Thanks, I always liked it. You were right about a Klingon-like threat/ritual too. I'm gonna hold off for a bit to reveal the answer to see if Zeke or anyone else will try to guess.
