I like Q. I like him in those comedy episodes. I like him when he appears in more serious episodes like this one. He's still entertaining. His conflict with Guinan makes it even more interesting. Guinan is also great in this episode: her character is mysterious and it's f****Whoopi Goldberg! Still don't understand how they were able to hire her.
It's also one of the episodes that reminds you of the show's overarching story. Too often you forget that there's one 'cause most episodes feel isolated. But Q and his trial against humanity is the raison d'être for their mission - no matter whether the crew dismisses this idea ot not. And of course the Borg are the Enterprise's greatest enemy. The fight against the Borg is another recurring topic of this show. Being introduced to them like that is great. It foreshadows the upcoming battles. You instantly understand that they are a menacing threat. (No wonder lackluster Voyager later tried to reboot the show by re-introducing the Borg).
An exciting episode that is still worth a watch since it's the first glimpse into what will become one of Star Trek most fascinating nemesis.
