THE BATTLE OF WITS AND LOGIC IS JOINED AGAIN!

STAR TREK®

SPOCK VS. Q

THE SEQUEL

AN ALIEN VOICES® PRODUCTION

STARRING LEONARD NIMOY AND JOHN de LANCIE

Written by Cecelia Fannon

Following their debate over the fate of mankind, Spock and Q have continued their discussions over a meal. After dining, the two return to the stage to recount their repast, which included encounters with several of Spock's former shipmates.

However, at the moment the two verbal sparring partners shake hands, a power surge places them in total darkness. Suddenly, Spock and Q are no longer on stage, but somewhere in deep space.

As they struggle to determine what has happened, a curious personality change takes hold. Spock is overcome with giddy delight. Q is much more serious, even...logical.

Masterfully performed by Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie, Star Trek® Spock vs. Q: The Sequel is a fascinating and often hilarious role reversal that reveals previously unknown sides of Spock and Q. It is a program so original it could only come from Alien Voices®.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Billboard ..actors Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie are almost single-handedly reviving radio-style dramatizations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining transference of personalities, February 10, 2006

This review is from: Startrek: Spock Vs Q: The Sequel (Star Trek) (Star Trek (Unnumbered Audio)) (Audio Cassette)

In their previous duel of wits, Spock was able to best Q and now they are about to engage in a second round. However, as they are about to begin, there is an enormous surge of power and they suddenly find themselves in an unknown location. The situation is further complicated when Spock begins to take on the personality traits of Q and Q those of Spock. Since Q is robbed of his powers, and Spock does not know how to use them, there is nothing either of them can do to save themselves.
The personality transfer is very well played by Leonard Nimoy and John deLancie. The sound of Spock giggling and uttering Q-like witticisms was very entertaining. The dampening of the Q personality by applying overtones of the Spock persona was also very funny. Jokes fly back and forth between them as they continue their verbal sparring, although now their personalities are blended with the opposite dominant in the other's body. Of course, in the end, the situation is resolved and they save themselves.
Fun to listen to, this tape is an aspect of Star Trek that is just good, clean entertainment. I enjoyed it so much I listened to it twice.

4.0 out of 5 stars YAYYY Q!, July 8, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Spock Vs Q: The Sequel (Star Trek (Unnumbered Audio)) (Audio CD)

The beginning and the end of this one were absolutely hilarious (my personal favorite:
Spock- "Greetings. I am Spock."
Q- "Are you sure?"
) It is definitely well worth your time to buy this, and I thought it was almost as good as it's predecessor. However, there were some parts in the middle that were just too silly to work well. Spock acting like a Q didn't really work for me. In spite of that minor flaw, it was overall an excellent cd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great followup!, September 8, 2002

This was as good as or better than the first one. It was surprising and very enjoyable to hear the personality trade between the two. Spock doing all the singing and laughing like Q. John de Lancie wasn't too highly convincing playing a logical minded Spock, but who cares. He's one person who cannot downplay his personality too much. Highly enjoyable and hopefully there will be a third one.
