I just watched the TNG episode 'Contagion', which is at least 17 different flavours of awesome, and may well be my new favourite episode. Basically, they wind up on Magrathea, only instead of missiles that turn into a pot of gereaniums and a highly surprised looking sperm whale they're attacked with a computer virus that turns tea into cactus and flings Geordi around a lift, and instead of a workshop in which to rebuild Earth there is a Freaky Door which seems to lead to some Greek ruins. Data put his hand into the Freaky Greeky Door, and I really wanted him to be holding a kebab when he brought it out again, but no. The best bit of all, though...? They fix the ship by turning it off and on again! I could have told them that!
Anyhoo, this episode was choc full of comedy, so here's some icons.

Plus it had loads of H2G2 moments, which made me very happy.
Those are fab, you always manage to come up with something funny to write on your icons, how creative!
Aaaah, Data/Borgybitch. Gotta love the fucked-up Hate!Sexiness of it all.
Would you mind if I stole the Jean-Luc one? *puppy eyes* I'll give proper credit, of course!
I loved Patrick Stewart's expression in that shot - he looks really disappointed at his cup of cactus. This episode was just full of lovely little expressions from a lot of the cast (Data's 'Erk' face made me laugh so hard the first time I had to rewind the whole scene because I couldn't hear what was being said). It was joyful.
I looooove how Wesley then says "Didn't you order tea, sir?" NO, HE SAID HE WANTED A CACTUS, OF COURSE! *lol* I love "Contagion". It's such a wonderful episode. <3
Is it worrying that my favourite episodes tend to involve something terrible happening to Geordi? I like the guy, after all - he is a bit calamity-prone, I suppose. If Picard had had to crawl around a Jeffries Tube it would have been perfect - I had to make do with him popping onto the Romulan ship, waiting until Zoe-the-Evil-Leaper say 'Ha-ha! You die now, Picard' so he can retort 'Oh, you think so, do you, Bitch? I beg to differ. Au Revoir, Wankers!' and promptly beam off again, flicking them Vs as he does so. Which was still fun.
"Didn't you order tea, Sir?" - brilliant line! So very full of lulz.
"Au revoir, Wankers!" LMAO!!!!!!!!!! I can totally hear him say that now. @.@ *lol*
Me and Hubs make up some very un-Trek-like kiss-off lines while we're watching the show - from 'Au Revoir, Wankers' to me willing Data to march up to Maddox, whip out his schlong and wallop Maddox round the face with it at the end of his trial. At the end of whichever S2 episode it was that started off with Data slating Picard's painting we were wondering at the end whether they'd tie that in somehow with the rest of the episode. I wanted Picard to just randomly run up to Data from behind on the Bridge and whack him over the head with it screaming 'HOW DO LIKE MY PAINTING NOW?!?!?'
Hubs pointed out that this would be even better if the painting in question was a portrait of Data and it broke so his head poked through it like in a Tom & Jerry cartoon.
But that didn't happen :(
