Review of Q-Less

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Q-Less (1993)
Season 1, Episode 7
6/10
The irritating (or interesting) Q is on Stage 9!
9 August 2021
So many reviewers slamming this episode! The god-like Q (John DeLancie) makes a visit to DS9 via the wormhole accompanied by his mortal love-toy Vash (Jennifer Hetrick). Q was the nemesis of Captain Picard in TNG and Vash and the captain had an infatuation until Q lured Vash away with the promise of archaeological adventures.

Q is either a character you enjoy or find annoying.

The story here weaves around power loss on the station and everyone is going to die unless the crew figures out the problem. This episode is very similar to a Next Generation season 1 episode (anyone remember flying Manta Rays???).

Q is always good for slapstick or twisted humor. Commander Sisko does something to Q that Picard would never have done -which was freaking hilarious.

I didn't hate this episode but it will not end up in my top 10 for the season either.

Vash's use of her feminine wiles to try to always get what she wants is an overused writers device for her character.
