Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter several unsuccessful attempts by director Les Landau to film Q's nude scene without forcing the actor to actually be naked, a frustrated John de Lancie finally asked anyone offended by nudity to leave, stripped down, and filmed the scene in one take.
- GoofsThe crew attempt to adjust the moon's orbit at perigee (closest approach). If you are attempting to adjust the altitude of a body's perigee (in this case to avoid a collision with the planet), the best time to do it is to wait until it reaches apogee. This will change the elevation of perigee the most with the least amount of energy. Changing a body's velocity at perigee only changes the elevation of apogee and does nothing to change its perigee. If they were trying to avoid a collision, the crew chose the worst time to do it.
- Quotes
Capt. Picard: Return that moon to its orbit.
Q: I have no powers! Q the ordinary.
Capt. Picard: Q the liar! Q the misanthrope!
Q: Q the miserable, Q the desperate! What must I do to convince you people?
Lieutenant Worf: Die.
Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?

Featured review
Teaching Q a lesson.
Can you believe it? Q itself managed to become infected by the starfleet affliction of altruism after being morally educated by an android who wants to be human.
This is a good quality episode from star to finish with Q being a laugh generating machine and working wonderfully off the crew. At times they ride the line of going overboard with the jokes but it never cross the line for me ----
In all (most?) of the previous Q episode his ultimate goal was to teach humanity a lesson of some type but he's the one learning a lesson in this episode ----- will it stick? Well, stay tuned.
He's right about one thing though ---- falling asleep does feel like dying. I am trying to defeat sleep but I cannot win ---- sometimes you feel that if you have enough willpower you can achieve anything but sadly this is not always true. What? I want to be one of those rare human beings that can function on 2 hours of sleep.
If you want a good final laugh ---- watch Worf's reaction when Q reappears with his powers.
