A bit of deduction might solve this.

Some antiquated laboratory equipment. Picture quality surpassing that of TOS, but still in 4:3 format. Surely a scene set out of time, but not necessarily time travel.

Must say, that did actually take a bit of thinking. Well done.

Strange New Worlds s1e5 "Spock Amok"

Great diplomacy and hijinks.

That this isn't already on Rifftrax is surprising.

Gotta do it the fun way:

Agreed.

As for the spelling, there's an easy way to remember:

In the top 5 for sure, though I'd still put "The End of the World" by Skeeter Davis ahead. If only for being more melodic.

Also, that metal would be rather hot from undergoing that much tension in such short a time.

I misremembered the Simpsons quote.

TNG "Birthright"

Edit: Was the DS9 crossover.

Also works on the type 3 phaser rifle, but you're probably right about the power cell drain.

Might I add, this is also only displayed on Voyager.
