Star Trek - Q Who?

The Star Trek "Q Collective" contains all episodes featuring this popular character, so I find the narrative continuity particularly fulfilling. (And yes, they address the backlash of his previous appearances.) It's nice not to have to ask Mr.Goat questions about what I have missed between selected episodes. Q is cool in his unpredictability. At times, it seems that he's just playing mischievous mind games, and at other times flashes of evil psychosis spark up in his demeanor. Take the prime humanity of Jean Luc, the unpredictability of Q, and mix in the dreadful (in its effect, not quality) predictability of Borg, and you have a recipe for a good episode. (Borg Babies!) Note: Riker has already taken on the Billy Joel look in season 2. Rated 2.
