Torres in "Tinker Tenor Doctor Spy"?

Zeke 07-17-2012 10:24 PM

Good try, but no. Btw, you should drop by the fiver quote thread; you're likely to know the current one.

evay 07-18-2012 10:29 AM

I sooooooooooo need to rewatch VOY. I adored the show and I haven't seen any of it since it aired.

Zeke 07-19-2012 05:25 AM

Okay, big hint time: the character chastising the Doctor also appeared on Deep Space Nine.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-19-2012 05:52 AM

Zimmerman. It's the episode where the Doctor gets FTPed back to the Alpha Quadrant or something.

Zeke 07-19-2012 06:27 AM

Half right. It's Zimmerman, but an earlier appearance.

evay 07-19-2012 11:16 AM

Oh, then it has to be "The Swarm." Zimmerman (actually the holo-diagnostic) is bitching that his program is cluttered with irrelevant crap, and Doc protests that he sings opera or whatever during his off-hours.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-19-2012 03:14 PM

How many holograms that look like Robert Picardo does that ship have?

evay 07-19-2012 03:25 PM

There's the EMH (Holodoc) and the diagnostic hologram, which was only used the once. There apparently existed at least one backup which was lost on a planet in "Living Witness," but said backup is never mentioned again, so we don't know if they built a new one.

There are approximately 680 EMH Mark Is (the Holodoc's model) in existence. Almost all of them were repurposed to non-medical tasks. One of the few which remained as an EMH made it to the Enterprise, surprisingly.

Bob Picardo has never turned in a bad performance, including when Jeri Ryan played him, so there could have been half a dozen Holodocs on the ship and I wouldn't have complained.

Zeke 07-19-2012 04:49 PM

Agreed, although like the Cynic, I think his shtick started to wear thin in the later seasons. The writers knew what a great thing they had with Picardo, and that naturally led to overuse, just as it did with Jeri Ryan. When something like "Virtuoso" is taking up space that other characters could use, you've got a problem.

(Btw, they didn't start phasing out Mark I EMHs until after First Contact. The Mark II was still only a prototype a year later.)

That was kind of a group effort, but evay got the episode, so she's up next.

evay 07-19-2012 05:09 PM

"Of course, asking me to give you a bumpy ride is like asking a virtuoso to sing off-key."

Zeke 07-20-2012 07:26 AM

That's gotta be Tom Paris, but I can't think of a time he would've been asked to do that. Hmm... let's try "Dark Frontier" and "Live Fast and Prosper".

evay 07-20-2012 11:20 AM

Right character, wrong episode. I'll give you a hint if you want one.

Zeke 07-21-2012 05:02 AM

Might be a good idea, yeah.

evay 07-21-2012 01:08 PM

In keeping with our previous discussion, it was a Doc-heavy episode. And I'll even tell you it was S5.

Zeke 07-22-2012 10:43 AM

Let's try "Latent Image" and "Bliss", then.

evay 07-22-2012 12:44 PM

Nope. "Warhead." Janeway wants Tom to simulate the feeling of going through a minefield so that they can get Seven into Sickbay, so her magic nanoprobes can extricate Doc from the intelligent bomb.

Let's try again with a simpler one:

"With all these new personalities floating around, it's a shame we can't find one for you."

Zeke 07-22-2012 09:43 PM

That's gotta be "Infinite Regress".

evay 07-23-2012 12:55 AM

yep! figured I'd give you a softball. :) You're up.

Zeke 07-23-2012 02:37 AM

Since this is fast becoming the <i>Voyager</i> quote game, let's switch it up. In Peter David's <i>Vendetta</i>, the characters mention the autobiography of James Kirk: "Risk Is Our Business". That title is, of course, a quote from himself. When did he say it?

NAHTMMM 07-23-2012 01:28 PM

Oh, um, what's it called, "That Which Survives". The one with the three underground brainglobes. Right?

Zeke 07-23-2012 02:12 PM

Right. You're up.

NAHTMMM 07-24-2012 04:33 AM

"Do you know why you're not afraid to die, Spock? You're more afraid of living. Each day you stay alive is just one more day you might slip and let your human half peek out. That's it, isn't it? Insecurity. Why, you wouldn't know what to do with a genuine, warm, decent feeling."

Sa'ar Chasm 07-24-2012 06:06 AM

Galileo Seven, McCoy.

NAHTMMM 07-24-2012 05:24 PM

McCoy's the one talking, but that isn't the episode.

NAHTMMM 07-26-2012 01:05 PM

If it helps, they've been captured. If it doesn't help, Kirk isn't in the room with them.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-26-2012 04:12 PM

All Our Yesterdays?

NAHTMMM 07-28-2012 01:06 AM

No, but there are three words in the title.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-28-2012 04:02 AM

Arrrgh! Shatner and his ego were in every bloody scene. How many Kirkless conversations could Bones and Spock possibly have?

How about The Paradise Syndrome? Kirk spends the entire episode off banging hot transplanted-human chick.

Edit: Changed "McCoy" to "Spock". Bones *is* McCoy.

Zeke 07-28-2012 09:02 AM

I'm disqualified since I looked this up (I thought Sa'ar was right, and wanted to confirm). Nah, I think you should give a bigger hint -- the correct episode wouldn't have been among my first ten guesses based on the quote alone.

Even for McCoy, this one's really harsh. Bad enough as a personal attack and borderline racist to boot. But then, that's what made the TOS characters so real. Gene would never have let his characters talk this way about each other in the TNG days.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-28-2012 05:06 PM

Borderline racism? How about Patterns of Force (Space Nazis!)

Edit: Or Catspaw. They got captured in that one too.

(Anyone else wanna guess?)

At this rate I'm just going to start at the pilot and guess each episode systematically.

evay 07-29-2012 04:19 PM

Yeah, I had to Google it and I wouldn't have gotten that one either. Obviously I have to get back to watching TOS over lunch.

NAHTMMM 07-29-2012 08:49 PM

Not Patterns of Force, but a more ancient Earth society than the Nazis.

Sorry, that was the best hint I could think of. I'm not very good at giving hints. :(

LOL. Well, Kirk was busy being complimented by one of the local high men on the totem pole. Maybe that's how Kelley and Nimoy got to have the scene to themselves. ;)

Sa'ar Chasm 07-30-2012 01:21 AM

Plato's Stepchildren.

Zeke 07-31-2012 12:43 AM

Not quite <i>that</i> old.

Sa'ar Chasm 07-31-2012 03:59 AM

I finally went and looked it up. Bah.

evay 07-31-2012 10:24 AM

Okay, NAHTMMM, you've officially stumped the panel. Can you reveal the ep and pick a new quote, please? :)

NAHTMMM 08-01-2012 12:37 AM

It's from "Bread and Circuses".

Since KJ and I will be on a trip for the next week, I award Sa'ar the Trying Really Hard Prize, which consists of giving everyone the next quote to guess. :)

Zeke 08-01-2012 01:19 AM

Have fun on your trip!

Sa'ar Chasm 08-01-2012 02:49 AM

"It happened."

I'll give you a hint up front: that's Geordi, insisting really hard that something he remembers occurring did in fact occur.
