Oh that's going in the hermit daily
only on hermitcraft can you get a zombie suing a immortal cyborg butterfly goat with an angel as their prosecuter and a muppet as the an attorney, all being filmed on live tv by a insane clock man who is possibly the afformentioned zombies son.

You never clarified otherwise and I take the best version of the story.
'Dubs, what on earth did you tell this reporter?! She has this idea that we've been /married/ for 13 years?
I mean I know I forgot our anniversary that one time but has it been that long...?
She is absolutely relentless!

-Qpid [ @qpids-here ]
Birds are not usually known for their teeth.

Star Trek episode titles referencing specific characters or species:
So I've been through the list of every Star Trek episode ever, looking for titles that specifically reference characters or species. I'm talking specific references here, i.e., name drops, rather than just allusions. So, for example, I didn't count "The Squire of Gothos", but I would have counted it if the episode had been called "Trelane"; I counted "I, Borg", but not any of the episodes called things meant to evoke the Borg (e.g., "Collective", "Assimilation", "Drone", etc.).
Anyways, my results are as follows:
Characters:
Of the ST episodes named after specific characters, a plurality (17 out of 56) were named after what I am calling "minor" characters, which I am here defining as those who appear in only 1 episode. These included: "Charlie X," "Miri," and "Elaan of Troyius" (from TOS); "Bem" (from TAS); "11001001" (which is technically the names of the 4 Bynars) and “Aquiel” (from TNG); “Melora” (from DS9); “The Caretaker,” “Jetrel,” “Tuvix,” and “Alice” (from VOY); “Rajiin” (from ENT); “Jinaal” (from DIS); “I, Excretus” and "In the Cradle of Vexilon” (from LWD); and “The Trouble with Edward” and "Ephraim and Dot” (from Short Treks).
Q, of course, led the "major" characters, with 8: "Hide and Q," "Q Who,” “Deja Q,” “Qpid,” and “True Q” (from TNG); “Q-Less” (from DS9); and “The Q and the Grey” and “Q2” (from VOY)
Next was Data, with 4 episodes to his name (“Datalore” "Elementary, Dear Data” “Data’s Day,” and "A Fistful of Datas," all from TNG)
There was a 2-way tie for fourth place between Harry Mudd ("Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd" from TOS; "Mudd's Passion" from TAS) and Spock ("Spock's Brain" from TOS, the movie Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and "Spock Amok" from SNW), each having 3 episodes to their name.
Bashir was the only other character to have multiple episodes to his name ("Our Man Bashir" and "Doctor Bashir, I Presume?", both from DS9
An additional 20 regular or recurring characters had one episode named after them. These include: Lore ("Datalore"), Sarek ("Sarek"), Troi ("Menage a Troi"), Ro ("Ensign Ro"), Okona ("The Outrageous Okona), Dax ("Dax"), Quark ("The House of Quark"), Shakaar ("Shakaar"), Khan (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), Kahless ("The Sword of Kahless"), Morn ("Who Morns for Morn?"), Dr. Chaotica ("Bride of Chaotica!"), The Doctor ("Tinker, Tenor, Doctor, Spy"), Su'kal ("Su'Kal"), Vox ("Vox"), Boimler ("Much Ado About Boimler"), Kayshon ("Kayshon, His Eyes Open"), Paris ("We'll Always Have Tom Paris"), Badgey ("A Few Badgeys More") and Ascensia ("Ascension" (not quite, but I'm counting it)).
Species
Here, I counted not just the proper names of alien species, but the proper names of their homeworlds/dimensions as well. And here, again, "minor" species who appear in only one episode dominated the category, with 11 out of 44 episode titles: "The Gamesters of Triskelion," "Elaan of Troyius," "The Mark of Gideon," and "The Lights of Zetar" (from TOS); "The Magicks of Megas-tu" and "The Slaver Weapon" (from TAS); “Angel One” and “Galaxy’s Child” (from TNG); “Meridian” (from DS9); “The Swarm” (from VOY); and "An Embarrassment of Dooplers" (from LWD)
Q, which is, after all, the name of a species as well as a character, again leads the "major" entries, with 8 episodes: "Hide and Q," "Q Who,” “Deja Q,” “Qpid,” and “True Q” (from TNG); “Q-Less” (from DS9); and “The Q and the Grey” and “Q2” (from VOY)
Tribbles came next with four episodes to their name: "The Trouble with Tribbles" (TOS), "More Tribbles, More Troubles" (TAS), "Trials and Tribble-ations" (DS9), and “A Tribble Called Quest” (PRO)
The Ferengi (“Ferengi Love Songs” and “The Magnificent Ferengi” from DS9; “Parth Ferengi’s Heart Place” from LWD) and the Prophets ("In the Hands of the Prophets", "Prophet Motive", and "Tears of the Prophets", all from DS9) tie for fourth, with three episode apiece
There's a three-way tie for fifth place between the Vulcans ("The Infinite Vulcan" from TAS and "The Vulcan Hello" from DIS), the Borg ("I, Borg" from TNG and "Let Sleeping Borg Lie" from PRO), and the Andorians/Aenar, whom I am treating as one species ("The Andorian Incident" and "The Aenar", both from ENT), each with two apiece.
The Tholians ("The Tholian Web"), Orions ("The Pirates of Orion"), Cardassians ("Cardassians"), Jem'Hadar ("The Jem'Hadar"), Caretakers ("Caretaker"), Xindi ("The Xindi"), Species 10-C ("Species 10-C"), Mugatos ("Mugato Gumato") and Illyrians ("Ghosts of Illyria") get one episode each, mostly just boring noun titles
A few interesting things are of note here. First of all, outside of the one-off appearances and simple one- or two-word noun titles, the episodes of Star Trek that are named after specific characters or species are overwhelmingly done for comedic purposes (which probably explains why Q, Mudd, the Tribbles, and the Ferengi all tend to put in relatively strong showings). When things are serious, Star Trek across all series overwhelmingly tends to prefer more oblique or poetic titles. Notably, even the more "serious" episodes with Q ("Q Who" being the major exception) tend to forego the standard punny names.
Secondly, with the exceptions of Data and Spock (and to a lesser extent Bashir, Dax, Quark, the Doctor, and Boimler), Star Trek really doesn't like to name episodes after its opening credits regulars. None of the captains, for example, appear on this list: apparently you can name a series after Picard, but if you want to do an episode about him going on vacation, you call it "Captain's Holiday" rather than "Picard's Holiday."
Finally, it's remarkable what species aren't name-dropped in titles. The Vulcans, the Borg, the Ferengi, the Q, and the Cardassians (namesake of only one rather unimaginatively named episode) are all certainly among the major parts of the setting, but the Federation's oldest enemies--the Romulans and the Klingons--are nowhere to be seen; nor are the Changelings, the Bajorans, the Trill, the Betazoids, or any of however many other species to be featured prominently on their respective series. Star Trek typically seems to favour more oblique or thematic references when it comes to its antagonists (the aforementioned "Drone," "Collective" or "Assimilation" for the Borg; titles like "Heart of Glory," "A Matter of Honour," or "The Way of the Warrior" for the Klingons; titles like "The Neutral Zone," "The Enemy," and various allusions to political tension or spycraft for the Romulans; two separate episodes referencing the colour green for the Orions, and so on); titles that tell you what you can expect from these guys, rather than that they themselves are in it.

Ok so I just watched the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called Qpid and... guys I though we were joking around about Q and Picard. I thought it was a joke. a goof. a gaf. No one told me that shit was cannon?? NO ONE TOLD ME Q WAS CANONICALLY QUEER?? Like I'm not even being biased here, that shit isn't even sub-text, it's just text! I wasn't even a huge fan of Q/Picard, I thought they had enough chemistry and frankly superb divorce energy, but Q literally just told Picard that he was dtf to his face! and Picard was like low-key wayyy too okay with that entire episode to not reciprocate at least a little. I feel like I could do a line-by-line analysis of the episode pointing out every way this episode was ungodly levels of homoerotic.

JUST YOU AND MOI, BABY!
Anyone notice how Picard often creates this interpersonal dynamic between himself and Q?
In Hide n' Q when Q tells Picard that Riker is the target of his visit, Picard replies with "Excellent. He'll defeat you just as I did."
Wasn't solving the Farpoint mystery a collaborative effort from everyone in the crew??
***
Then, we have Q Who? in Ten Forward with Picard telling Q, "You are part of our charter to seek out new and unique lifeforms, and you certainly qualify as one of the most unique I've ever encountered. To learn about you is frankly provocative."
"...one of the most unique I've ever encountered?"
Why didn't he say, "...we've encountered?"
It was odd that Picard went from speaking from a collective perspective to speaking solely for himself.
And "frankly provocative?????"
That's a definite one-on-one with Q from Picard...
***
Remember that scene when Picard visited Q alone when Q was in the Brig in Deja Q? Couldn't he have had Worf fetch him and bring him to the Ready Room? Why did Picard make a solo trip to see Q?
***
In Qpid, Picard tells Vash after climbing through her window, "My staff and I were brought here (to Sherwood Forest) by an old adversary of mine named Q."
Wasn't Q kind of an adversary to everyone?
***
I always thought the dialogue in TNG was interesting in that while Picard claims that Q is an adversary, Picard kind of claims Q as his own adversary.
Picard believes that it's himself that Q is after--which is totally true, as everyone has always known--but, Picard has in his own way, through his words, created this private relationship with Q.
This doesn't bother Q in the very least of course, because knowing that Picard speaks and acts as if this dynamic with him IS between them, it means that it is just the two of them.
It's a relationship.
It isn't the romantic and loving type that Q ultimately wants with Picard, but it is a relationship, nonetheless.
Q probably figures it has to start somewhere.
It'll get better in time. Q will see that it does.
