Was interested to see Q in this and his arrogance was the same as the Farpoint encounter. His lack of interest in the emergency to Enterprise was en route to was cold and typical Q. He whisks the main crew off to a planet and offers Riker the power of the Q. The old adage of 'power corrupts, and a absolute power corrupts absolutely' applies here and there are plenty of biblical references about the temptation of leading the good to sin. Interestingly, when Riker refuses to save a dead girl with his new powers it sends him into a spin. His arrogance eventually becomes evident to the extent of regarding the Captain on a first name basis! Eventually Riker makes the offer of providing a special gift for his fellow Bridge Officers. Watch as Picard sits back confidently and endorses and even encourages this. Riker then presents his gifts and is turned down each in turn by all. Picard sits triumphant as Q is whisked away by his fellow Q and the viewer is left to wonder is this the last of Q?
