I don't know if this qualifies, but I liked Kirk's "corbomite" bluff.

 

Of the ones listed, I prefer telling Scotty we need it NOW!

Seems like there isn't anything that Scotty couldn't fix in the Original Series..I voted to have Scotty fix it now..I agree Indy-Kirk's Corbomite Manuever was great.. :blink:

Yes, my favorite ploy is when a Captain makes a good bluff. The Corbomite Manuovre was one of the best. I also like it when he used a codied channel that he knew the Romulans had decrypted to make them believe that he had a self destruct device that would destroy any ship within a few light years. Thent he Romulans moved out of range, and the Enterprise was free to escape.

I would have to say using the deflector dish that thing seems to be like a swiss army knife it can do all most anything as they seem to use it every other ep. I really hope that enterprise does not start to use it.

I went with the current majority and voted to let Scotty fix it, NOW! If that did not work *gasp in shock!* I would pick compensate.

I voted for tell Scotty because no matter how many times Scotty said "I canna" he always pulled it off in just the nick of time . :dude:

I always follow the Orange Juice carton. "Compensate"...wait, that's Concentrate. well, both work, I suppose. and now for the obligatory USS Dysfunct-esque line...

 

 

When in doubt, blow something up.

I voted for Scotty, because I'm just a TOS fan, and Scotty is my second favorite character (Chekov is my favorite)

I always liked that idea they had in "Silent Enemy" when they caused an intentional overload of the phase cannons to increase the firepower by shunting the overload into the gravity plating. I would have made that standard practice. Otherwise, I'd go with compensate, since that's a catch all plot device :)

Gotta go with Scotty on this one, he could fix anything given 2 min or less. Too bad they didn't let him fix Kirk's hair/toupee/hairplugs. :pinch::laugh:
