What Star Trek Episode Reminds you most of Bush?

[Must_B_Free]

To me he is Trelane, The Squire of Gothos the juvenile junior Organian who creates whatever illusion suits him in order to toy with people's lives.



"Trelane seems to be a dizzy, foppish aristocrat from Earth's distant past. He possesses almost god-like powers and does not register on the crew's tricorders. Trelane is fascinated with Earth's martial past and intends to bring the Enterprise's entire crew to the surface of Gothos, presumably to become his subjects. Kirk rejects Trelane's arrogance but finds himself at a loss to combat his power. Finally, Spock concludes that the Squire is aided by some sort of mechanical device, which he believes is concealed in a mirror. Kirk draws Trelane into mock combat and destroys the mirror, causing chaos. The landing party escapes back to the Enterprise and blasts into space to get "a hundred million light years from that madman," as Kirk says. But Trelane's power is not to be denied. He now focuses his vengeance on Kirk and once again brings him to Gothos, there to hang by the neck until he is "dead, dead, dead!" How can Kirk outwit this childish but incredibly dangerous being?"

1. Powerful but childish

THere was also one about a computer trying to take over the universe and a powerful teenager who could do anything he wanted and ended up killing people.

4. Charlie X

Although Trelane was the first person I thought of, Charlie X certainly fits as well.

And Evil Kirk from the time his body was taken over by a former lover. "I'M THE CAPTAIN! YOU WILL OBEY MY ORDERS!"

[Paulie]

2. ST:TNG Skin Of Evil

I see his whole administration as the gestalt creature.

3. Conspiracy

http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/st-tng/episodes/125.html

While en route to Pacifica for scientific study and relaxation, the Enterprise receives a Code 47 transmission, for Picard's eyes only. Picard wakes and receives the message, from his old friend Walker Keel. Keel demands an immediate meeting on Dytalix B, a nearby mining planet, and gives only vague warnings.

When they arrive, they find three ships in orbit, one of them Walker's ship, the Horatio. Picard beams down alone and meets with Walker, along with the other two ship captains. After giving Picard a memory test to ensure he's still himself, Walker says that they've noticed strange patterns of orders from Starfleet Command, but can't say anything concrete. Picard is skeptical, but agrees to watch his back and keep in touch.

Picard confides in Troi about his worries, then assigns Data (while not telling him the reason behind the assignment) to review the last six months of Starfleet orders. They begin heading back to Pacifica, but find debris in a nearby sector. There are no identifying marks, but from the size and composition of the debris, Worf concludes it can only be the Horatio, totally destroyed.

Now very suspicious, Picard mentions the conspiracy theory to Riker. Riker is skeptical, but becomes less so when Data comes in with evidence of "an uncustomary reshuffling of personnel, particularly in the command areas", which Data sees as a covert attempt to seize several sectors of Federation territory. Now quite disturbed, Picard orders the Enterprise back to Earth to check things out, and informs the rest of the crew about his suspicions.

When they arrive, the response seems quite temperate. Two admirals, Savar and Aaron, invite Picard and Riker down to dinner. The third, Gregory Quinn, asks to come up to the ship. When he arrives, he denies most of what he said back at Relva 7, making Picard certain he's been affected. Picard beams down, and Riker sees Quinn to his quarters. Quinn attacks Riker, showing incredible strength and near- invulnerability. He knocks Riker out, and even Worf shortly afterwards, before Beverly knocks him out with repeated phaser blasts. She examines him, and finds a parasitic creature has taken him over.

She informs Picard about this, who's suspicious enough already from the conversations he's had with Savar and Aaron. He goes in to dinner, where it is revealed that they've all been taken over. He tries to leave, but is caught-by Riker, whom we earlier saw sneak up on Bev. As it happens, he's only faking, and they manage to stun everyone in the room, except for Aaron, who escapes. They catch him, and follow the creature that leaves his mouth, only to find Remmick, who seems to be the leader. They kill Remmick, and the mother-creature that crawls out of his ribcage. Quinn is back to normal, and all seems well, but Data finds that Remmick sent out a homing beacon before he died...

5. what happened with that homing beacon?

I can barely remember that episode

7. Actually, I would say he's a Pakled

8. The pilot.

Capt. Christopher Pike sitting in a wheelchair with his mouth agape. Can only answer yes or no.

[mrfrapp]

10. That wasn't the pilot...

...but an episode that used footage from the pilot. The images of Pike in a wheelchair were new for this "remake". If I remember correctly, the pilot was called "The Cage" and the episode you're thinking of is "The Menagerie".

[arcane1]

9. the Bushes remind me of the Duras family from TNG

lying, deceitful, traitorious, nepotistic(?), etc etc

[JackSwift]

11. And The Children Shall Lead

The Devil, played by legendary lawyer Melvin Belli, deludes children into destroying their parents.

[ChillEB]

13. Friendly Angel, come to me...

That episode kinda freaked me out when I first saw it, at like 6 yrs old.... The FREAKIEST one, though, was the one with Dr. Roger Korby and his Lurch-robot "Rock". When Korby turned out to be an android-dude too, it scared the crap out of me. That episode was just really scary to a little kid.

Anyway, I vote for the Moony-Faced Dude from "the Corbomite Manuever" (which I *think* was actually the first episode aired). He seems to be this bad-ass tough-guy but he's really just a puppet fronting for this scrawny little wimpy man-child ...

12. Matt Jefferies has died...

All fans of Star Trek should take a moment to mourn.

14. Tribbles .................................................................

kinda' remind me of a detached Bush!

[baldguy]

15. The Pakleds

Generally dim-witted, but they ruthless in exploiting the compassion and intelligence of others exclusively for their own benefit.



Actually, he looks more like Karl.

16. The Trouble With Tribbles

Damn freeper religious fundamentalist nutballs...seems like they're everywhere!
