Immunity Syndrome.
Man McCoy and Spock are fighting over who is going out in the shuttlecraft on a suicide mission! To learn more what it is they are going up against in this massive new life form.
Kirk has to choose, the massive burden of command to pick which of his friends will die.
Different ep...
Kirk's risk speech is legendary.
Those are the moments that stand out most to me and I can stay on board through all kinds of action packed or entertaining plots or whatever silly stuff if they just throw me a bone and go back to the touchstones. Just touch the stone.
Explain just why the hell are they out there in the first place.
TNG hit up some great Trekkian touchstones too, and a villian (or was he really) was an instrument to help deliver the message.
Capt. Picard: I sincerely hope that this is the last time that I find myself here.
Q: You just don't get it, do you, Jean-Luc? The trial never ends. We wanted to see if you had the ability to expand your mind to new horizons. And for one brief moment, you did.
Capt. Picard: When I realized the paradox.
Q: Exactly. For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you had never considered. *That* is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.
Q: Perhaps maybe a little, uh, Hamlet?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: Oh, I know Hamlet. And what he might say with irony, I say with conviction: "What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form, in moving, how express and admirable! In action, how like an angel! In apprehension, how like a god!"
Q: Surely, you don't see your species like that, do you?
Captain Jean-Luc Picard: I see us one day becoming that, Q. Is it that which concerns you?
Capt. Picard: I understand what you've done here, Q. But I think the lesson could have been learned without the loss of 18 members of my crew.
Q: If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wondrous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross. But it's not for the timid.
