While doing other more systematic investigations of Star Trek episode titles, I made notes of interesting things I spotted.
Here are some collections of episode titles with interesting characters.
Q puns
Most episodes featuring Q had a pun in the title:
| Title | Series | Episode |
|---|---|---|
| Hide and Q | TNG | 1x11 |
| Q Who? | TNG | 2x16 |
| Deja Q | TNG | 3x13 |
| Qpid | TNG | 4x20 |
| True Q | TNG | 6x06 |
| Q-Less | DS9 | 1x07 |
| The Q and the Grey | VOY | 3x11 |
| Q2 | VOY | 7x19 |

| Title | Series | Episode |

| Encounter at Farpoint | TNG | 1x01 |
| Tapestry | TNG | 6x15 |
| All Good Things… | TNG | 7x25 |
| Death Wish | VOY | 2x18 |
Interestingly, Q has so far made a further appearance in Lower Decks and nine in Star Trek Picard, and none of them had puns in the title.
