Star Trek: The Next Generation: 11001001 (1988)
Episode 14, Season 1
A bit of Trivia

I have to admit that, in general, Star Trek: TNG had left me a little cold, with sterile looking sets, a communist's idea of economic utopia, insults of national heritage (Ferengis described as Yankee Traders), and some occasionally peculiar morals concerning life and death.
Sidestepping most of these problems is the episode 11001001: one of my few favorites. I'm not sure I liked the Bynars, themselves, who were little, androgynous, spooky-looking beings that walked around in pairs.
I was mostly amused by the title: 11001001 is the binary value of the RET (Unconditional Return from Subroutine) Opcode for the 8080 and Z80 CPU. The Bynars wished their data "returned" after their shutdown.
