“Hide and Q” | Star Trek: The Next Generation | Review

[@Cap_Olimar]

Napoleon Pigman Bayonets Worf! Had a great time this week, de Lancie, Patrick, and Frakes are all doing a great job this week. I believe I'm like Will in that my knowledge of Q elevates the episode but he's more or less correct that this is how he acts from now on. Gene must have insisted that all the planets in Next Gen look straight outta the 60s, foam rocks and Green Screen skies. Only like 10 seconds of cringe when Worf yells "this is sex!" and Geordi looks at Tasha. Also remember that that child is still dead, thanks for the review as always guys!

+@Cap_Olimar I thought so too. I didn’t want to dampen Caleb’s feelings, since he’s new to it all. Plus, I enjoy hearing his first-takes, because I was like 4 when I was watching TNG. And wow, yeah, thanks for that reminder. Thanks, Captain! 😄

The all-powerful alien who's mischievous pranks can help, or hurt, given circumstances. "Q" is a cliché character and represents lazy storytelling in my opinion. The popularity of "Q" among Star Trek fans reveals just how out of step I am with the fandom. "The Squire of Gothos", by any other name, still plays out the same to me. "Hide and Q" keeps reminding me that some TNG episodes are just standard television fare covered by a colorful sci-fi candy shell. Just my opinion, hope we're still friends!

@@eddstarr2185 Haha, absolutely! We welcome thoughts like this on the channel. I’m not really a fan or a hater of Q, but he doesn’t bother me as much as others are bothered by him. I’m sure Caleb will agree with your sentiments. Thank you so much for your comment!
