Those always make my heart sink, perhaps more so than Q and Borg episodes.<br /><br />And yes, "Q-Who" is good; what I should have said was that every Borg episode after "The Best of Both Worlds" seems to be a case of diminishing returns, but their first two appearances were gold.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685723882144479396.post-90442074262071547832016-07-16T00:47:57.476+01:002016-07-16T00:47:57.476+01:00For me Q episodes come in pairs, with Farpoint and...For me Q episodes come in pairs, with Farpoint and Hide and Q being kind of crap, Q-Who and Déjà Q being decent, the next two being bad, and so on. But I was less impressed when he appeared in the other series (Q Junior? What the hell Voyager?) Death Wish was okay though.<br /><br />Also Q-Who's a perfectly respectable Borg episode!<br /><br />The idea of a Q-uark episode has a lot of potential, and I'm really glad that the writers of The Nagus, Prophet Motive and Profit and Lace never thought of it. Not that I ever actually watched Profit and Lace, now that I think about it. I've seen close to every episode of DS9, but I eventually had to draw the line at Ferengi stories. <br /><br />Though (SPOILERS) Quark does get the power to manifest anything he can imagine in If Wishes Were Horses and (MORE SPOILERS) it's a woman hanging off each arm. And that's it. The guy's easy to please.Ray Hardgrithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436491500347661133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685723882144479396.post-70609604067980368712016-07-15T23:18:19.237+01:002016-07-15T23:18:19.237+01:00Nothing makes me want to watch a Star Trek episode...Nothing makes me want to watch a <i>Star Trek</i> episode less than Q being in it.<br /><br />(Well, maybe a Borg episode that isn't "The Best of Both Worlds".)<br /><br />I like John de Lancie as Q, but the episodes start off poor and get worse as they go on; when he turns up in <i>Voyager</i>, I felt sick.<br /><br />Although that said, I can't believe they never did anything with Quark and Q. Imagine Quark with all the powers of the Q Continuum!<br /><br />No, that would be rubbish too, wouldn't it?thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
