Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMaury Ginsberg played a character of the same name. The producers liked the actor's name so much that they decided to use it for his character.
- GoofsQ2's newspaper column (which can be read in freeze-frame) spells Continuum as "Conninuum."
- Quotes
Quinn: I was the greatest threat the Continuum had ever known. They feared me so much, they had to lock me away for eternity, and when they did that, they were saying that the individual's rights will be protected only so long as they don't conflict with the state. Nothing is so dangerous to a society.
- ConnectionsEdited from Star Trek: The Next Generation: Masks (1994)
Featured review
Good Q episode
Voyager comes across a member of the Q continuum.
This is a solid episode with strong performances.
There is a good reflective character driven story involving Q. Although the subject matter is relatively downbeat, it is portrayed in an entertaining way by great delivery of strong dialogue. Interesting topics like state control, individual rights, suicide and existentialist themes are explored using Q's dilemma and the decision Janeway has to make.
There are some humorous and inventive moments involving the use of Q powers that are quite entertaining. Some of it is suitably random as you expect from this type of episode.
Gerrit Graham, John de Lancie, Katie Mulgrew are on great form with Tim Russ having some good moments too.
For me it's a 7.510, but I round upwards.
