By the Pale Moonlight – all the performances in this episode are great. It’s to be expected from the always-solid Avery Brooks and Andrew Robinson, but I love the scene where Senator Vreenak (Stephen McHattie) confronts Sisko and is so full of menace he practically hisses “It’ssss a faaaake!”
David Warner, BTW, also showed up in Star Trek V as the human ambassador that Sybok took hostage.

Second James Sloyan for “The Defector” and also for his *Voyager *episode, “Jetrel.”
My library has it! (happy dance)
He can live with it…he can live with it…
I’m probably going to get laughed at for this …
The TNG ep (was it season 2?!?) The Child Marina Sirtis was pretty fecking good in that one … and I was never a fan of hers
Schultz has a particularly good moment when rehearsing for a shipboard production of Cyrano de Bergerac, in the episode “The Nth Degree”. The entire episode, in which Barclay is rapidly becoming superintelligent, is a pretty good display of Schultz’s talents.
Klink: Schultz!
Schultz: I know nothing!
I always thought the performance of the actor who played the hologram of Sherlock Holmses’ nemesis Moriarity was rather well done, in both episodes in which he appeared. The actor correctly balanced the personalities of both the intellectual wanting to learn more about his surroundings and the criminal wanting to create mischief. Very well done.
How about one from the widely loathed Voyager? The guy who played Tuvix in the episode of the same name. I just learned the actor’s name is Tom Wright, and he has been in a lot of things including both Barbershop movies. Anyway, I thought he did a good job creating a believable new charater by combining aspects of two other characters, including such things as gestures and voice inflection. Nice performance.
Also Brad Dourif as a psychopathic murderer who had been unnoticed among the Voyager crew. The first episode he was in was good but the last one was over the top.
Why, thank you very much!
I had never thought of it that way before. HAHAHAHAHHAHA! You rock!
God! She’s such good eye candy. mmmmm!
Of course you had never thought of it that way before. Because Amanda’s pregnancy was an extremely complicated genetic engineering experiment that required all sorts of Vulcan Science Academy trickery to produce anything even remotely resembling a viable zygote! There’s no way she could have gotten pregnant by Sarek “accidentally.”
I can tell you how it happened. For $12.60
I was impressed with Damar at the end of DS9. Casey Biggs managed to take him from a bit part, a simpering lap dog, turn him into a guilt ridden drunk and then into a hero. His speech telling the Cardassians to rise up against the Dominion is a great moment in DS9.
The post office put you up to this, didn’t they!
The episode that will always be my favorite…
ST:TNG, The Inner Light…
Every time I see it, it moves me more than any other episode, of any other television show, that I can think of.
And later references back to that episode always get me too. It was just… IMHO, brilliantly written and acted.
sob
Choked up just thinking about it.
But another favorite moment was the teaser for Pegasus. I think that was the first laugh out loud Star Trek moment I ever had. For anyone unsure, it was the bit about it being Picard Day on the ship. Riker did this impression of Picard that slayed me… Hoooo boy, good stuff.
Let’s not forget his role in TOS. I like the scene where Kirk traps him in a debate at an officer’s mess on the Enterprise and Kahn loses control and responds "We Gave Them ORDER! "
It’s “We offered the world ORDER!”
(Sorry, can’t help correcting. It’s my life’s work.)
From that same ep.: Khan to Marla: “This grows tiresome. Now you must ask to stay.”
Damn, he was great both times.
Speaking of correcting:
Pssst … the past tense of slay is “slew”.
