Line 280:
** ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S2/E14 Wolf in the Fold|Wolf in the Fold]]". The Redjack creature has taken control of the Enterprise computer, but Spock has figured out a way to [[Logic Bomb|drive it out by ordering the computer to compute the value of pi to the last digit]]. He explains his reasoning to Captain Kirk (and the audience).
{{quote|Spock: As we know, the value of pi is a transcendental figure without resolution. The computer banks will work on this problem to the exclusion of all else until we order it to stop.}}
** ''[[Star Trek: The Original Series]]'' episode "[[Star Trek/Recap/S1/E15 Shore Leave|Shore Leave]]" plays with this trope. The physics and engineering behind hand phasers is never explained on the series, but Sulu quite happily explains to Captain Kirk the working principles behind a 20th-century pistol during this episode.
** ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]''
*** In the episode "The Pegasus", Admiral Erik Pressman briefs Captain Picard and Commander Riker on the loss of his former ship, the USS ''Pegasus''. He chooses to open his briefing with the words "as you know..." and then proceeds to tell Picard and Riker ''what they already know''. Picard chimes in with an "I remember reading about that", and continues to tell the story of the ''Pegasus'' for the benefit of no one else in the scene.
Line 355:
* In episode 2 of ''[[Luck]]'', Ace has a rather awkward monologue explaining why he was in prison. They actually try to sell us on the idea that the person he's talking to (his bodyguard and best friend) wouldn't already know this, but it's very hard to believe.
* [[Sunset Beach]] in absolute spades. "Since you were almost killed by that tidal wave you've been... preoccupied, to say the least."
