4.0 out of 5 stars Merry Men, December 1, 1999

By

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 94: Qpid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

When the TNG writers add the beloved Q character into the mix, the very idea of taking anything too seriously is thrown out the window, including the oh-so-pensive Captain Picard. In this episode, the crew of the Enterprise trades in their ever-needing-to-be-strightened unforms for the feathered caps and earth-tone tights of Robin hood and his Merry Men. Much fun. Plus, Picard's unpredictable romatic-interest, Vash, is re-introduced. The Vash-Q combo manages to keep the entire Star-Trek menagerie on their toes making this one of the best episodes of The Next Generation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worf ........."I am not a Merry Man!", November 10, 2001

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 94: Qpid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

As Worf said ..."I am not a Merry Man!" Q returns with Picard's former love, Vash. She spent some time with him in another episode about a artifact buried on Risa. This one has Q in the era of Robin Hood with ....You guessed it Picard as the swashbuckler Robin Hood. There are quite a few good scenes in this one that make it worth the price of the video. I love the scenes with Data as Little John. It's one of those that can stand repeated viewings and still be enjoyable. This one must have broke the budget for the year. The costumes and stunts were very much like a Robin Hood movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Probably the most comical of Star Trek: TNG episodes...., September 7, 2006

This review is from: Star Trek - The Next Generation, Episode 94: Qpid [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Plot: The Enterprise is hosting an archeological conference and who is there, but Vash, Picard's romance from Risa (Captain's Holiday-Episode 67). Well, when Vash find out the captain had never mentioned her to any of the crew members, she gets upset. Of course, no episode with the letter "Q" lacks our irritatingly, lovable (to a certain degree), Q. Well, he wants to give Picard a thank you gift for his hospitality (DejaQ-Episode 61), but Picard really doesn't want to recieve anything from the unpredictable alien. Q, who observes how Picard and Vash aren't getting along, warns the captain that emotional love for a woman is dangerous. Well, Q decides to prove this by sending the entire senior crew and Vash into a fantasy in which Capt. Picard is Robin Hood, Riker is Little John, Worf is Will Scarlet, Vash is the Maid Marian, etc. Well, Picard either must rescue Vash at the risk of his life and the crew's, or let her be executed (Tough decision).

Well, like the title says, it's probably the most comical of Star Trek: TNG episodes produced. Plenty of humor, including Geordi's bad playing on the mandolin, Troi being a master (or is it masterette?) at bow and arrow (I say this with irony), etc. A pretty good episode on the whole.
