How about every episode where Kirk gets the snot beat out of
him, but he ends up prevailing anyway? My brother-in-law likes the
part about Kirk getting the snot beat out of him.

It comes with the chair.
Of course Picard, Janeway, and Sisko never scored like that. Kirk got
mad play. But that was the original enterprise.

Yeah, chicks dig a guy who walks like he's trying to break down a door
with his forehead.

If true, that would certainly explain how natural selection in the
Star Trek universe has favored so many humanoid species with
forehead-specific mutations..

Sort of. Kirk didn't appear in "The Cage". Captain Pike didn't quite get
it on either, though.
re 8:
"The Bat'lelth (or Batleth, or Bat'leth) is the symbol of Klingon honor and
strength. It is probably the most widely recognized Klingon weapon in
existence, and is definitely the most sought-after. It derives its name from
the klingon words for Honor (letlh) and sword (bat'), thus making it the Sword
of Honor.
The legends of Kahless the Unforgettable say that the bat'letlh was created
when he took a lock of his hair and dipped it first into the volcano at
Kri'stak, next into the fiery river of Lusore, and then twisted it into a
sword which he used to kill Molor the tyrant."
Why do all the Klingon fansite pages use that awful dark green on black color
scheme? Maybe they think Klingons will only read something if there's a
chance of getting eyestrain and a nice headache?

It's the way they've always done the display panels on Klingon ships,
even when they were slightly confused about which models to use for Klingon
ships and which for Romulan, thereby leading to an orgy of Trekkie explanation
writing.

How about every episode in which Kirk gets the snot beat out of him,
and he doesn't wind up tearing his shirt, my wife asks.

How about every episode in which Kirk puts his hands together in one big fist
and brings it down on somebody's head? ;)

Kirk was a registered black belt in the substyle of Eight Drunken

Let's see: Spock once, movies II and III. Scott "died" a couple of
months after 6, but was discovered in a pattern buffer in "Relics"
(TNG.) In a similar vein, Kirk "died" when the ribbon blew out part of
the Enterprise B's engineering hull at the main deflector, but Picard
wound up fishing him out of the Nexus to save a few hundred thousand
people on some planet nobody's heard of. Picard "died" and got a
chance to fix a previous judgement error, courtesy of Q,
in "Tapestry." Dax obviously died and came back, sans Jadzia. Didn't
Worf briefly die on the operating table during his spinal replacement
in season five? I don't remember that episode too clearly. Data's
mechanical nature makes him prone to various shutdowns, including a
break of 500 years where his head was removed, sat in state in a bay
area cave, and was recovered and placed back on his headless body
("Time's Arrow"). Yar came back to life once or twice thanks to
various rifts in the space-time continuum.
My memories of DS9 and particularly Voyager (which put me to sleep) are
vague, so I can't mention as much about that. Not too clear on who's
been dead in the original series, either. I'm not THAT much of a geek.

Harry Kim definitely died once, and went to the planet where dead people
go. Geordi and Ro thought they had died when transporting over from a
Romulan ship, but it turned out they were just phased. Yar died in Code
of Honor, only to be resurrected a few minutes later. Then she died again
in Skin of Evil, only to be brought back in Yesterday's Enterprise. And
Riker died near the end of Yesterday's Enterprise, but then history was
changed and he was OK again.
McCoy died in Shore Leave, but he was better at the end of the episode.
In the episode where Worf keeps changing universes, we find that in
several, Captain Picard died in the Borg incident, but he's OK at the end.
Oh, and everyone thought Picard had died in the two-parter with the
ancient Vulcan artifact, but it turned out he was OK.
Here's another one: in how many episodes do Star Trek characters become
parents, at least for a short time?

I didn't think the Worf incidents were worth mentioning, because
everybody spends time dying here and there. I completely forgot about
how many times Harry Kim died just in the season or two that I watched
Voyager, and that was one of the major things that turned me off of
that program. I didn't want to include "thought dead" incidents,
because there are a lot of those.
Parents, hell, zillions of times. I think a more appropriate question
would be "who *isn't* a parent at one point or another?" TNG crew:
Geordi might not have been out of the major characters, but that's it.
Why am I participating in this discussion? To prove that I'm both a
sports AND a sci-fi geek? Except I'm not, really...
