Q enters and asserts domination on Star Trek: Voyager, March 30, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 30: Death Wish [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the first episode of Star Trek: Voyager with the omnipotent Q in it and one of two episodes with Q in it. The other episode is "The Q And The Grey", Episode 53. In this episode, another Q, called Q2 according to startrek.com, wants to die. He wants to commit suicide because, according to him, after living for hundreds or thousands of years, you've done everything and seen everything. There is nothing left to see and do. Everything is the same, day in and day out, and the Q's should have the right to die. As you may or may not know, the Q's are immortal; they never die. And, according to Q2, immortality becomes a disease that inflicts his people. As a result, Q shows up to stop him from doing something rash. Q wants him to be like the rest of the Q's: happy and free living with immortality. But Q2 doesn't listen to him and wants to put an end to his dredgeful existence. This is all being said aboard Voyager. So, Capt. Janeway, attempting to save her ship from this tug of war, plays the role of judge, jury, and, unbeknownst to her, executioner, and has a hearing on Voyager on Q2's behalf. Q has changed since he was tormenting the crew of the Enterprise and this episode links his doings now and all of those in his past with the Enterprise. Superb episode of Q with Star Trek: Voyager.

Q makes his first appearance on Voyager!, June 26, 2000
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 30: Death Wish [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Voyager beams aboard a Q who wants to die. The Q Star Trek fans know well (John De Lancie) also comes aboard and shows interest in Captain Janeway. Q also brings aboard certain figures he claims to have an impact on, including the Riker family. This is a good episode because it has a guest appearance by Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. Riker from ST:TNG), and the viewers see what the Q Continuum is actually like.

Perhaps the best Q-related episode in Star Trek, July 25, 2001
This review is from: Star Trek - Voyager, Episode 30: Death Wish [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Okay...I absolutely loved this episode and consider it to be one of the high points of Voyager Season 2 - and this is saying alot because I'm not usually a big fan of the Q episodes, in any of the Star Trek series. The reason I enjoyed this episode so much is because it made me think. What *would* it be like to be immortal? Would existence become boring once I'd seen everything and done everything there was to do? Interesting questions to ponder, especially for a person who believes in the after-life! Additionally, in this episode I found the character of Q to be quick-witted and interesting rather than just immature and annoying...which is how I have historically felt about Q episodes. John DeLuncie does a good job here, as does the actor who plays the "other" Q (Quinn). Plus, as an added bonus for all you Riker fans...Will makes an appearance in this episode. Sorta nice to see him after all these years! All in all, a "must see" for Voyager Season 2.
