After successfully connecting the enterprise saucer section like a complete Alpha and spending the next seven episodes as 'professional commander guy' who makes logical comments --- Q has decided that's good enough to promote Riker to God, so that the Q can understand the human quality that will eventually turn us into beings even superior to God itself!
At this point ---- I think it's clearly Wesley that has been carrying the weight aboard the Enterprise is regards to human potential, right? Now it's Riker? I know we just had a Wesley focused episodes but......
I absolutely loved it when Riker turned Wesley Crusher into a Quarterback and even kept that ridiculous sweater on him.
Riker attempts to give his friends gifts but NOT SO FAST ---- we humans need to battle to earn our rewards! This is like when your ex lover gives you a gift card but you refuse to use it.
It's a bit jarring to go from Farpoint (humans on trial as savages) to this episode where humans all of a sudden have unimaginable potential.
The climax involves Riker refusing to bring a dead girl back to life and shortly after at Q's urging he gives his friends gifts. You have got to admire the efficiency of the human grieving process in the 24th century.
Well lesson re-learned folks --- We are not ready to have god powers. Onto Regula 4 to resolve a diplomatic disagreement.
