Trek quote game

[Zeke]

Picard in "Where Silence Has Lease". Great episode. (And the DS9 ep is called "Way of the Warrior".)

"No good deed goes unpunished."

[Wowbagger]

"The Enemy". It's also the 285th Rule of Acquisition, so it must show up elsewhere, but I know it only from LaForge's line in "The Enemy."

Next up: "They had brains the size of a walnut. That's very small."

[Zeke]

That's a really funny coincidence. Archer says that in "Azati Prime" when he's getting beaten up -- and the one I actually had in mind for my quote is another such episode, namely "The Andorian Incident." (Trip says it there.) It came to my mind because I happened to make the TV Tropes page for this idea; I should've remembered there was more than one Trek example.

[ETA: I just checked; "The Collaborator" and "The Sound of Her Voice" are the episodes where Quark quotes that particular rule. It's the 285th and last.]

"I know you'll try. And I know you'll FAIL!"

[Zeke]

Since it's been a day now, I'll narrow it down: the episode is from VOY S2.

[Zeke]

No one? It's from "Threshold". Tom's accelerated evolution comes with a nervous breakdown, and the quote is from a startling bit where he lashes out at Janeway (right into a forcefield). I've made as much fun of that episode as anybody, but it's not all bad; McNeill is good in it, and there are dialogue and character beats that are worthwhile. Only the plot and premise are irredeemable.

Since nobody got mine, I'll go again.

"Perhaps the words are more important than the man."

[Wowbagger]

I don't think it's First Contact, but it's the kind of thing you say about a famous person right after unexpectedly meeting him/her...

Ooo. "The Savage Curtain." Maybe?

[Zeke]

Nope. I wonder if NAHTMMM's around... this one is a dead giveaway if you've read a particular Trek novel, and he's read a lot of them.
