I’m not sure if myself or someone else already recommended this, but if you can find them, there are two audiobooks called Spock Vs Q and Spock Vs Q the seQuel… they’re hilarious stuff. They were written out as scripts that Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie originally performed live in front of an audience at some Star Trek conventions and then later I believe re-recorded for the release of them on cassette and CD. Im sure you’d find them incredibly amusing, hearing them banter back and forth is wonderful, it’s basically logic vs chaos.
Also, sometimes when people annoy me, I will imitate Worf's voice and shout "BE QUIET!". It unfortunately confuses most people who are not Star Trek fans. 🤣
He said it in the past tense, answering Jen's question. The one for me is in TOS, "This Side of Paradise," at the end, Kirk tells Spock "we haven't heard much from you" and the camera zooms in on Spock and he says, "Not much to say, Captain, except that for the first time in my life I was happy."
Back in 2011, John de Lancie reprised his Q role as "Discord", a god of mischief, in the second season opener of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. John didn't miss a beat. The man was born to play mischief.
Just sucks that according to the people backstage he is a pretty big asshole. I want to caveat that with the statement that you never know what someone is going through and especially for those who have done nothing heinous, there should always be a path to reconciliation. Kinda like a certain human in a show...
"it's the ghastly truth Mr. Data i can now stub my toe with the best of them." De Lancie is just so great in this episode learning he can't be the omnipotent trickster he was before. One of my favorite episodes. Plus this episode unlike most others he gets a chance to interact with more of the crew.. From Worf, to Crusher, Data, Geordi and Guinan too.. but his kinship with Data in this episode was just too good.
"Very clever Worf. Eat any good books lately?" Is probably my favorite quote in all Trek. There are a couple of good Q episodes in Voyager...keep going :)
@@BH6242KCh It'll save you a lot of pain and anguish if you accept right now that the writers and producers on Voyager didn't give a hoot about continuity as the series progressed.
@@BH6242KCh You're very welcome. It still sends me into a nerd-rage frenzy every re-watch, but when Voyager does great it's as great as what came before it! The Doctor and later Seven just on their own make the series well worth it, whatever else! And all the actors did their best. Should also note it's pretty terrible First Nations representation as the show was fooled by their advisor "expert" who was a con artist fake irl. ♥
A little trivia. Brent Spiner is a big fan of Laurel and Hardy. He patterned Data’s laughter spell after Stan Laurel in an old black and white movie called “Blotto.” It’s hilarious if you like old Laurel and Hardy movies.
Ah, Deja Q. One of my personal favorite TNG episodes. John De Lancie is just amazing in this episode. And the writing specifically is just *chefs kiss* Q's one liners in this one are top tier. Plus, the oddly sweet friendship Q and Data strikes up - terrific.
In my personal TNG journey, it took me some time to enjoy Q episodes, because he's such a tool. But now I get it, the combination of stuffy Picard with snarky Q is really clever and fun. Data's laughing was really fun, too, and when you sprinkle Jen's delightful reaction on top of it, it was a terrific moment.
Such a great episode! And I absolutely love how much Q's gift to Data affected you. It does the same for me. As well as Q's little dialog to Data before he leaves the ship. And the summoned mariachi band is forever epic. 🥳
This is my 3rd favorite Q episode. Casting John de Lancie in this show as Q was really genius. I guess it's hard to prove that nobody else could have pulled off this role because, well, it's hard to imagine anyone else as Q, isn't it? Funny story. When I saw him in this, I recognized him as a character named Eugene from Days of our Lives. Confession time. I hated Q in Encounter at Farpoint. By the end of TNG, I loved his character. I still don't much care for the first season but Encounter at Farpoint is obviously essential viewing and it does age a little bit better than some of the first season episodes.
Woohoo another Q episode, always a wild time whenever Picard's biggest and best frenemy stops by! Not enough can be said for how perfect John de Lancie is as the character of Q, nor how remarkable that he and his character have had such a lasting impact on the franchise, given how few episodes and limited screen time he had to leave such a mark.
Just an interesting fact: the actor who plays Q, John De Lancie, started out mainly in "Days of Our Lives". When I first saw him on STTNG back in the late 80s, I recognized him as "that guy from the soap operas".
Same here. He continued his regular role on Days of Our Lives while doing the recurring role of Q, which is much more interesting. My ex-wife was a soap addict, and eventually got me into it too.
@@Lightmane Close second? I'm sorry, I just don't see it that way. Cassie is very likeable, but I don't think Star Trek is her strong suit. I'd say more, but I want to keep this polite, out of respect for Jen and her channel.
@@SyzygyNoon Yes, I agree with you. Guys, reaction to reactors is all a matter of personal taste. We all have our opinions. Mine is allied with Jen, strongly. That's all I'm trying to say.
@@kevinlewallen4778 You're right, so let me modify my words. Cassie is my favorite movie reaction channel, and I was very happy to see her finally get to Star Trek. She also just watched the movie Stargate, and really liked it, so I'm hoping for Stargate SG-1. I've very much enjoyed her reactions to the Star Trek movies, and now series, both TOS, and TNG. I wish she'd take the time to react to every episode, but she talked about why she can't do that; basically she'd lose a lot of her audience if she did that, which I understand. Jen is without a doubt the best, but I still enjoy watching Cassie watch Star Trek. I've yet to find anyone else who I like better. Obviously, I like Cassie's Star Trek reactions more than you do, but that's fine. At least we agree about Jen : )
Watching the Trekification of a young person is a beautiful thing. I envy you watching these for the first time. And you're at the pount where TNG really starts rocking. Enjoy, sweetheart.
@@xzonia1 it's a reference to the series "Breaking Bad". De Lancie had a role in that series as an air traffic controller. Brian Cranston played the lead, he also played Hal on Malcolm in the Middle.
@@mcgilj1 Oh okay, thanks! I had a friend try to talk me into watching Breaking Bad. I couldn't see doing it. He suggested I watch Better Call Saul first. I really liked Jimmy's brother Chuck and was rooting for Jimmy to listen to him, and my friend said I was missing the point. I stopped watching after Chuck died. Never got around to watching Breaking Bad. Might have felt more interested if he'd told me De Lancie was in it! Lol. Oh well. That was a few years ago. I'm more into sci-fi anyway. :) Thank you for the explanation! I appreciate it. :)
@JenMurray In case you wondered, the other Q you saw in the shuttle was Corbin Bernsen; best known for his role of Arnie Becker on the TV show L.A. Law, and Roger Dorn in the Major League movies.
@@williamrosmer8381also his wife is the gorgeous Amanda Pays . She played Tina McGee in the 90's Flash series, and was in Max Headroom in the 80s.. she had a guest role on "Psych" as a blind date for Henry, whom he found psychotic. Lol. Knowing they are married made their scenes Even better.
@@williamrosmer8381 Thank you! LOVE him on Psych!!! Jen would love Psych so very much if she ever watched it (assuming she didn't see it when it originally aired)! One of the best comedy shows of the 2000s. Don't want to overwhelm her with TV shows right now, but one day she really should see Psych. :)
When u said “what’s his game” I could tel you are having authentic reaction. As an infj I find reaction videos fascinating when they aren’t fake; stay real and stay positive
Q's gift to Data at the end was just perfect - sure, Q had the power to literally make Data human, but Data didn't want that path to humanity; the gift was delightful and something Data would genuinely treasure. And it was very earned because Data had looked after and protected Q.
I love any Trek episode with Q, but the thing I found even more delightful this time was how Jen reacted to chocolate! Jen: Please add some primo chocolate to your Wishlist for future consideration!
Here’s a bit of trivia, since you reacted to Saving Private Ryan. During the scene where the secretaries are typing the notification letters, we hear various voiceovers of the content of the letters; one of those voices is John de Lancie!
Q ordering a bunch of chocolate sundaes only to get stabbed by Guinan is consistently satisfying. But it's also good that they, in a manner of speaking, humanize him here.
Q is one of my all-time favorite ST characters. So much so, that my best friend found John de Lancie on Cameo and had him record a birthday greeting to me. He even touched on the fact she (my best friend) knew him from the soap opera Days Of Our Lives. It was very cool.
I used to see JDL at the movies at The Grove all the time, always with his preteen daughter and a dozen of her closest friends. He was always very mild-mannered and chill, and I always admired him for that, seeing the situation he was in.
This might be my favourite Q episode. It really delves into his character, not just as a member of a race of quasi-omnipotent pseudo-gods, but as a person. Until now he's just been an entity that drives the plot with very little depth beyond that, but now he's someone with desires, fears, and insecurities. Sure, he gets his powers back at the end, but those desires, fears, and insecurities don't go away.
5:25 The Orville did a similar joke paying homage to this scene. only with "sad food" the suggestion was ice cream, specifically Rocky Road. aside from the first couple episodes, and some of the out of place jokes, the show does a decent job of paying homage to The Next Generation, era
Missed the first half going live, glad I can go back through your log and pick it up again. Love any Q episode, they way he interacts with the crew he's like a disobedient unofficial member 😂
What a wondeful and funny episode,I laughed at several scenes with Q,the Mexican band in the last scene of this episode,it always makes me chuckle,a lot. LOL. Q meeting the other Q in the shuttle craft,their banter was GOOD,etc,etc,..this episode never ceases to amuse and entertain me.
Sure, Q is kind of an A-Hole (absolute power will do that), but he's a great character and John De Lancie plays him with a menacing yet irreverent glee that makes me anticipate his episodes. Plus, he provides some of the best comic relief in the entire series. Cheers and Happy Next Jen Sunday to All Y'all. 🥃🖖
This is a great 'fish out of water' story that provides alot of really good character development for Q, Data, and Guinan, of all people. The moment at the end where Data spontaneously bursts out laughing is probably my single favorite moment out of any episode in the entire series. The momentary pause in the fit, with the perfectly straight-faced turn towards everyone else before he starts cracking up again, along with Deanna's reaction, is just gold. I loved that Jen had the same reaction to that moment that I do, it's just so unexpected and joyous.
What is the primary mission of the Enterprise? To seek out new life, new civilizations. That's pretty much what Q represents. But every time they see him, they're like "Get off my ship Q!!" That doesn't really square with what they're out there to do.
Here’s the difference: In *ANY* field of science, during research you’ll find outliers in data sets. You spend some time to figure out how or why they’re outliers but they’re not relevant & 99% of the time they appear by random chance & annoyingly skew results. Now imagine being on The Enterprise trying to study anthropology/physics/psychology/biology etc… & the *same* outlier could interfere wherever/whenever specifically to get in the way.
Excellent reaction yes the The queue continuum took his powers away because he dared to offer powered because he dared to offer the power commander: Ryker and he refused it so the idea of him trying to give the power of the Q to a human was very upsetting to them so that his powers away But then when he did something selfless to save the enterprise, he realize he learned but the issues his power so much get back to him besides, he’s the expert on humans. The Q need to keep an eye on humans. The laugh was a genuine human laugh only temporary because he wanted to stay android do you wanna be a human so Q had to make it short-lived? thanks for the fun until next time.
Picard's exasperation towards Q is part of the reason I love Q so much! Lol. It's delightful to watch the two of them play off of each other. And I agree, Jen, Data and Q together is a wonderful pairing! :) Such a delight to watch this one again with you!
I appreciated the music and lower camera angles from Q's perspective with Picatd and Guinan. After "Q Who" with 18 dead, the Enterprise crew had justification to be hostile.
Eh, they get hired for everything in LA. One time, for one of my boss’ 50th bday, we had a mariachi band and a couple of lakers girls hanging out in our conference room, along with a taco bar and margaritas.
18:06 Mark! 19K Views + Mine! 😎🖖 2.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: Aha! I get it now! I read some of the comments below about you versus Cassie, and now that I've seen your reaction too, my guess is that they saw hers before seeing yours, as has happened with me now. 🤔 I enjoy both of you very much! My only basis for favoritism is that as far as I know, you're single and she's... "Married... With Children"! 😅 Quick memory test for myself, okay! Ahem. Gates McFadden? ✅️ Michael Dorn? ✅️ Brent Spiner? ✅️ Patrick Stewart? ❌️ Marina Sirtis? ❌️ Jonathan Frakes? ❌️ Levar Burton? ✅️ John de Lancie? ✅️ Whoopi Goldberg? ❌️ (Contact established via "The View" though.) They have recast the role of "Guinan" for the newer series! The character is very long lived and doesn't age as Whoopi has, so it only makes sense. I have only seen "Star Trek: Prodigy" though, of the newers shows. So I don't know why John is still playing his "Q"! 🤷♂️ Corbin Bernson of "L.A. Law" fame is "Q2"! I never met him either. Bye for now. 😊
I knew you'd like season 3, as I said before, this is one of the best seasons with some of the most important episodes. Season 4 evolves well too. I can't wait for you to get further into the season, a couple of my favorites are still to come. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️
John Delance the actor that plays Q also had a role in my mothers soap opera "Days Of Our Lives" as Eugene. He played a whacky guy that on the show had hallucinations of a mermaid that he conversed with regularly. He had mental health problems but not serious ones. I think he stopped having the hallucinations when he got himself a real girlfriend named Caliope. She was played by Arleen Sorkin who also did the voice of Harly Quinn on Batman the Animated Show. He was fun to watch on that show also. Even though he gets a little annoyed if you bring it up at a con.
*_You said it! A Q episode is a top tier episode and a Data episode is equally top tier. Put them together into one episode and what do you have? A GOD TEIR EPISODE!!!!!!_* ✌️😆👍
Well Jen I won't give any spoilers about Q! (I have seen pretty much every episode of ST it is possible to see! Except for the most recent ones....I also have seen Star Trek Picard which is one of the new shows (I have seen the whole thing).) But personally I feel the same way about him that Picard does. Certainly at this point in the series lmao. But he does make you think about immortality, omnipotence etc. Star Trek is always a thought provoking show. 🙂
Jen, I'd love to see you react to "Legend," a short-lived (12 episodes) Western series, starring Richard Dean Anderson (McGyver, Stargate) as a novelist who gets repeatedly thrown into the role of reluctant hero, and John DeLancie (Q) as his inventor-friend who creates gadgets to build up his heroic reputation.
"Q" is great in this episode! Guinan and Q have history but that fork stab... Ouch. That's pain Q! But the ending is the best with Q and the Mariachi band and finally Data gets to Laugh! Best Q episode! Chef's Kiss 😘 Thanks for sharing Jen ❤️💛🖖🏻

Q is more like Loki than a villain.
The episode that launched a mullion memes with Picard's facepalm.
I'd like to buy two mullions please
Absolutely, the facepalm that arguably popularized the concept of facepalming.
Still the funniest exchange in TNG (IMO):
Q: What must I do convince you?
Worf: Die!
🤣🤣
Eat any good books lately? :p
Worf got a lot of great lines and Michael Dorn was excellent at delivering them. 😂
Also, sometimes when people annoy me, I will imitate Worf's voice and shout "BE QUIET!". It unfortunately confuses most people who are not Star Trek fans. 🤣
As Mr. Spock would say.. 'Logical.'
You can't forget Q's _"ROMULAN!"_ Much better than "micro brain" from season 2.
Riker's little head jerk and facial reaction after Q says: "You're so stolid - you weren't like that before the beard" -- priceless.
What I love about Q is that he is basically Star Trek's version of Loki.😂
"I do not know....but it was a wonderful...feeling." As an adult that line makes me tear up a bit.
He said it in the past tense, answering Jen's question.
The one for me is in TOS, "This Side of Paradise," at the end, Kirk tells Spock "we haven't heard much from you" and the camera zooms in on Spock and he says, "Not much to say, Captain, except that for the first time in my life I was happy."
"Eat any books lately?" is one of my all-time favorite lines in Star Trek.

2:40 Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 32 times, shame on Q!
fool me once, i'm mad. fool me trive, how could you? fool me three times, you're officially that guy.
"it's the ghastly truth Mr. Data i can now stub my toe with the best of them." De Lancie is just so great in this episode learning he can't be the omnipotent trickster he was before.

There are a couple of good Q episodes in Voyager...keep going :)
In one of Q episodes in Voyager, you will see the full extended of the Q continuum race powers. The Episode Title is "The Q and the Grey".
I hadn't watched Voyager. Knowing Q is in it, I'll start.

Wow! Been a TNG fan since the late '80s and I had no idea. :)
Data laughing is a great moment. Your reaction to this was awesome 👌
I love Brent Spiner. He hasn't been in a ton of things but he's always great. His laugh at the end of this episode is so good 😂
He's definitely a quality over quantity type of actor. :)
He brings back his distinguished beard in Master of Disguise. I wonder if that flop harmed his career.
He's been in quite a few TV shows and movies
5:25 The instant you said "dreadful mood...chocolate." I LITERALLY laughed out loud. LOL You nailed it.

Wouldn't miss it for the world.

Sleep is scary. But, we face it like a champ everyday. 😅
Best Line Ever. Three letters: Worf: 'Die.' To be fair Q has a pretty snappy comeback...
The Second Q was Corbin Bernsen from LA Law. He was VERY popular at the time this episode was made.
Any episode with Q is a lot of fun and any episode focused on Data is great so this episode is one of my favorites.

And the summoned mariachi band is forever epic. 🥳
Absolutely one of the best TNG episodes. So many great moments
"Eat any good books lately?" is one of those quips I would love to be able to remember in certain situations.

He was also in the ABC Mini-Series The Thorn Birds.

I shed a tear at Jen's reaction to Data receiving the gift of laughter! What a great moment! WE LOVE TNJ!!!
❤
Jen, your response to Data's laughter was priceless, in a good way. You were clearly and obviously delighted. It was quite pleasant to watch.
Giving Data a good laugh was an excellent gift. Very classy, Q!
Q ordering a bunch of chocolate sundaes only to get stabbed by Guinan is consistently satisfying. But it's also good that they, in a manner of speaking, humanize him here.
13:49 Riker: I don't need your fantasy women! [mutters under his breath] I've already got my own on the holodeck.
Q ordering 10 chocolate sundaes after discovering "hunger", reminded me of LeeLoo (5th Element) discovering instant "microwavable" chicken dinners.
"You're so stoic - you weren't like that before the beard" - Riker's look of 'don't you talk shit about my beard' is priceless.
The other Q-known as Q2-is the actor that plays the dad in Psych. Great series too. ♥
And before that, L.A. Law.
Q is one of my all-time favorite ST characters. So much so, that my best friend found John de Lancie on Cameo and had him record a birthday greeting to me. He even touched on the fact she (my best friend) knew him from the soap opera Days Of Our Lives. It was very cool.

One of my very favorite episodes of the whole amazing series! Great reaction, Jen!
One of my favorite Next Jen episodes, so many great lines, funny situations. Guinan's fork will always make me laugh out loud.
This might be my favourite Q episode. It really delves into his character, not just as a member of a race of quasi-omnipotent pseudo-gods, but as a person. Until now he's just been an entity that drives the plot with very little depth beyond that, but now he's someone with desires, fears, and insecurities. Sure, he gets his powers back at the end, but those desires, fears, and insecurities don't go away.
5:25 The Orville did a similar joke paying homage to this scene. only with "sad food" the suggestion was ice cream, specifically Rocky Road. aside from the first couple episodes, and some of the out of place jokes, the show does a decent job of paying homage to The Next Generation, era
You continue to carry warmth and humour wherever you go. Thanks, Jen. 🙂🥰😘 xxx
Your reaction to parts of this episode really excited me about your eventual reaction to Star Trek: Generations. I think you're gonna love it!
Q's gift of laughter is one of my favorite moments in the series.
My favorite thumbnail yet. It looks like Data is laughing at Q... to the shock of Jen.
In Picard, Season 2, there are some very touching moments (and revelations) between Picard and Q.
This is my favorite Q episode.
I love it at the end where he has the trumpet.
Ha, love this episode - John Delancy delivers a great performance as a powerless Q here. Love him having to try and adjust to life as a human.
Missed the first half going live, glad I can go back through your log and pick it up again.
Love any Q episode, they way he interacts with the crew he's like a disobedient unofficial member 😂
What a wondeful and funny episode,I laughed at several scenes with Q,the Mexican band in the last scene of this episode,it always makes me chuckle,a lot. LOL. Q meeting the other Q in the shuttle craft,their banter was GOOD,etc,etc,..this episode never ceases to amuse and entertain me.
I always loved " i can stub my toe with the best of them" and the book line. Love it
Sure, Q is kind of an A-Hole (absolute power will do that), but he's a great character and John De Lancie plays him with a menacing yet irreverent glee that makes me anticipate his episodes. Plus, he provides some of the best comic relief in the entire series. Cheers and Happy Next Jen Sunday to All Y'all. 🥃🖖
This is a great 'fish out of water' story that provides alot of really good character development for Q, Data, and Guinan, of all people. The moment at the end where Data spontaneously bursts out laughing is probably my single favorite moment out of any episode in the entire series. The momentary pause in the fit, with the perfectly straight-faced turn towards everyone else before he starts cracking up again, along with Deanna's reaction, is just gold. I loved that Jen had the same reaction to that moment that I do, it's just so unexpected and joyous.
What is the primary mission of the Enterprise? To seek out new life, new civilizations. That's pretty much what Q represents. But every time they see him, they're like "Get off my ship Q!!" That doesn't really square with what they're out there to do.
Here’s the difference: In *ANY* field of science, during research you’ll find outliers in data sets. You spend some time to figure out how or why they’re outliers but they’re not relevant & 99% of the time they appear by random chance & annoyingly skew results.
Now imagine being on The Enterprise trying to study anthropology/physics/psychology/biology etc… & the *same* outlier could interfere wherever/whenever specifically to get in the way.
The second Q was played by Corbin Bernson of LA Law.
Excellent reaction yes the The queue continuum took his powers away because he dared to offer powered because he dared to offer the power commander: Ryker and he refused it so the idea of him trying to give the power of the Q to a human was very upsetting to them so that his powers away But then when he did something selfless to save the enterprise, he realize he learned but the issues his power so much get back to him besides, he’s the expert on humans. The Q need to keep an eye on humans. The laugh was a genuine human laugh only temporary because he wanted to stay android do you wanna be a human so Q had to make it short-lived? thanks for the fun until next time.
Whenever I am depressed I watch this episode, it doesn't cure depression but it really helps to cheer me up a little bit.
Picard's exasperation towards Q is part of the reason I love Q so much! Lol. It's delightful to watch the two of them play off of each other. And I agree, Jen, Data and Q together is a wonderful pairing! :) Such a delight to watch this one again with you!
Love this episode and will watch it when having a bad day just to see Worf’s Die line and Data’s laugh. Q is awesome
All the Q episodes are so good, love the ending! Can't wait for next week!! YE, my fav!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
My head canon: Q interacted with medieval Norsemen, inspiring the myths about Loki.
I appreciated the music and lower camera angles from Q's perspective with Picatd and Guinan. After "Q Who" with 18 dead, the Enterprise crew had justification to be hostile.
When I was a kid and first saw this episode that’s all I could think of. They should have been more angry with him.
I'm so glad you finally got to see data laugh Next Jen!!
Data's laugh from Q is DEFINITELY among ST TNG; TOP TEN MOMENTS
Another great Sunday afternoon with Jen and STTNG!
Commercial Break!
I always wonder what the mariachi band made of being hired for a Star Trek episode
Eh, they get hired for everything in LA. One time, for one of my boss’ 50th bday, we had a mariachi band and a couple of lakers girls hanging out in our conference room, along with a taco bar and margaritas.
18:06 Mark! 19K Views + Mine! 😎🖖 2.6K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊
Notes: Aha! I get it now! I read some of the comments below about you versus Cassie, and now that I've seen your reaction too, my guess is that they saw hers before seeing yours, as has happened with me now. 🤔
I enjoy both of you very much! My only basis for favoritism is that as far as I know, you're single and she's... "Married... With Children"! 😅
Quick memory test for myself, okay! Ahem.
Gates McFadden? ✅️
Michael Dorn? ✅️
Brent Spiner? ✅️
Patrick Stewart? ❌️
Marina Sirtis? ❌️
Jonathan Frakes? ❌️
Levar Burton? ✅️
John de Lancie? ✅️
Whoopi Goldberg? ❌️ (Contact established via "The View" though.)
They have recast the role of "Guinan" for the newer series! The character is very long lived and doesn't age as Whoopi has, so it only makes sense. I have only seen "Star Trek: Prodigy" though, of the newers shows. So I don't know why John is still playing his "Q"! 🤷♂️
Corbin Bernson of "L.A. Law" fame is "Q2"! I never met him either.
Bye for now. 😊
Hi Jen hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Thanks John you too :)
This was the episode shown when I was expecting the high ground.
I knew you'd like season 3, as I said before, this is one of the best seasons with some of the most important episodes. Season 4 evolves well too. I can't wait for you to get further into the season, a couple of my favorites are still to come. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️
Nice call back to Bertold Rays mentioned in TOS.
John Delance the actor that plays Q also had a role in my mothers soap opera "Days Of Our Lives" as Eugene. He played a whacky guy that on the show had hallucinations of a mermaid that he conversed with regularly. He had mental health problems but not serious ones. I think he stopped having the hallucinations when he got himself a real girlfriend named Caliope. She was played by Arleen Sorkin who also did the voice of Harly Quinn on Batman the Animated Show. He was fun to watch on that show also. Even though he gets a little annoyed if you bring it up at a con.
Was he the guy who had the dream where Sorkin's character was dressed as a jester, thus inspiring Harley's creation in the first place?
@@christopherwall2121
Yes! I just remembered that as I read this!
@@angelohernandez6060 Huh. It's all connected.
This one helped make Q a little more loveable (omnipotent, bratty child that he is). LOL!
14:44 Our own Moon is 384,400 km away, so this moon is very close at 55,000 km!
*_You said it! A Q episode is a top tier episode and a Data episode is equally top tier. Put them together into one episode and what do you have? A GOD TEIR EPISODE!!!!!!_* ✌️😆👍
Next Jen makes my Sunday😁
One of the great Q episodes. Data and Q is an awesome combo.
THE MEME! 1:42
Well Jen I won't give any spoilers about Q! (I have seen pretty much every episode of ST it is possible to see! Except for the most recent ones....I also have seen Star Trek Picard which is one of the new shows (I have seen the whole thing).) But personally I feel the same way about him that Picard does. Certainly at this point in the series lmao. But he does make you think about immortality, omnipotence etc. Star Trek is always a thought provoking show. 🙂
01:42 He did it! He did the thing!
Jen, I'd love to see you react to "Legend," a short-lived (12 episodes) Western series, starring Richard Dean Anderson (McGyver, Stargate) as a novelist who gets repeatedly thrown into the role of reluctant hero, and John DeLancie (Q) as his inventor-friend who creates gadgets to build up his heroic reputation.
One of my absolute favourite episodes of ST 😀
"Q" is great in this episode! Guinan and Q have history but that fork stab... Ouch. That's pain Q! But the ending is the best with Q and the Mariachi band and finally Data gets to Laugh! Best Q episode! Chef's Kiss 😘 Thanks for sharing Jen ❤️💛🖖🏻
Probably my favorite Q episode. Like when Guinan stabs his hand.
