"Best of Both Worlds" was my favorite TNG episode. I particularly liked the ending of the 1st part, when the crew sees their former captain assimilated.

Following Gryphin's lead, a favorite scene from STNG - the episode was "The Ensigns of Command", when the Enterprise had to rescue a lost colony from the hyperlegalistic Sheliak. After getting beat over the head with their treaty with the Sheliak, Picard finally finds a loophole in it and turns the tables on them (requesting arbitration by a race that's currently in hibernation IIRC). When the Sheliak begin to nervously call for a renegotiation, Picard cuts off the channel.

RIKER (with surpise and admiration) - You enjoyed that.

PICARD - You're damn right.

Picard then casually wandered the bridge wiping dust off the fixtures while the Sheliak desperately tried to re-open the channel.

My favorite: "City on the Edge of Forever." It would have been deeper with Ellison's original screenplay, but it's excellent as is.

Honorable mention to "Mirror, Mirror", "Balance of Terror", and "Yesterday's Enterprise"

Best ever ST episode... probably that one where the Enterprise saves the world... again.

That and the Tribbles episode... those fuzzy little things that gave the Klingons the heeby jeebies.

Translation #3:
THE ONE Avail oneself of something well into X100, along ado from the fist. The killer well into Curyok IV , she lights blackens

Well, first, through out the 3rd translation, It makes no sense, like a sentence strung together with random words and no grammar, plus it doesn't mesh with the other two, Now, for the first part, I think it's obvious that the Avenger is a ship or unit in the X100 system. My best guess is that it's a warning to remove presence from the system. Agitating the fist, as if yelling angrily. The killer/matador is a even trickier. My first guess would be that the Curyok is a black hole system (it darkens light), except that it's a planet ("IV"). I agree that it could be a cloacked ship, though I have an unexplicable gut instinct it's a little more complicated than that. Perhaps a threat to destroy the star? Again, it seems a little too literal... Maybe if you take the tone of the sentence rather than the exact words, like an attack.

My sketchy first draft would be something like:
"Remove your ship from X100, we are in a position to (capture/destroy) your planet Curyok IV.

Am I even close?

Edit: Oh, and even as I'm reading/posting in this thread, ST:Voyager is on. The episode where Tom finds the "Diamond in the rough" ship with the neurogenic interface. (Didn't catch the subtitle.)

As a note:
The Avenger and the Matador were both large warships in the "End of the Line" story, which was VS AI players.
