Ah, the inimitable Q!!
Review created: 09/04/07(updated 09/04/07)

This was an awesome collection. Q was, and always will be, the most astounding character the came out of "Star Trek". John de Lancie breathed amazing life to a character that was both loved and reviled at the same time.
In "Encounter At Farpoint", he started out to be a serious threat to Captain Picard and the crew of U.S.S. Enterprise, (even to the whole Federation), buy putting them on tial for the crimes of humanity. In "Q Who?", He literally threw the Enterprise into the path of the Borg. This action may very well have been a favor in disguise. Q's actions allowed the Federation to learn about, and attempt to prepare themselves against a universal threat that would decimated the Alpha Quadrant. He evolved from an all-knowing, omnipotent, god-like being to a practical joking imp, and pain in Picard's back side. The one down side to this collection would have to be "Hide And Q", which he bestowed Commander Riker with the power of Q. It was just a horrible episode, in my opinion. On the other hand, the best Q episode by far, in my opinion, was "Deja Q", when Q shows up aboard the Enterprise stripped of his powers by the Q Continuum. Much to the annoyance of Captain Picard. The scene where Q finally is given his powers back, and grants Data the gift of his first belly laugh, is worth the price of the whole set.
He was an even bigger pain in Captain Janeway's back side with his subsequent appearances in "Deathwish" when he attempted to stop another member of the Q Continuum from trying to commit suicide. "The Q And The Grey", which threw Janeway and the U.S.S. Voyager in the middle of a Q civil war. And "Q2", where Janeway was forced to play the role of surrogate mother to Q's omnipotent brat, Q, Jr. This was one of my favorites among the "Fan Collective" sets.
