Remember how the last time Q appeared on Voyager I was surprised it was actually a very good story? Well, relax everyone because normal service has been resumed.
The episode starts with the bridge crew clapping a supernova. Really? I bet they also applaud when Voyager lands successfully. Q arrives to try and get off with Janeway, for some reason. Something to do with a new Q baby stopping a Q War. Which of course is represented by the American Civil War, because if there’s one thing the Q’s can do while there’s a war on is help Janeway to see it as something she’d understand. That part really didn’t do it for me, especially when Chakotay (or Chuckles as Q called him) and the rest of the Voyager crew arrived as cavalry to rescue Janeway from the Q’s. If there’s one thing they can do, it’s rescue people from omnipotent super beings.
The only real bright spot in this episode were the Q’s. That is, John DeLancie and Suzie Plakson as the female Q (and also played K’Ehleyr in TNG (Yes, I looked up how to spell that (Whoops, too many brackets))). As fun as it was to have Q insulting Neelix with “bar rodent” I have to say the female Q was better in her limited screen time.
Also why didn’t Janeway just procreate with Q in return for getting the ship back to Earth? And more to the point, why did he want Janeway?
