FIRST CONTACT: ‘Q WHO’ SEASON 2 EPISODE 16
Q arrives on the Enterprise revealing he’s been ousted by the continuum and asks to join the crew. After Picard rejects his offer, Q sends the ship 7,000 light years away. There they encounter the Borg, a life form enhanced with cybernetic implants who function as a collective. The Borg fire on the Enterprise killing 18 crew members. The Enterprise attempts to outrun their ship but it seems unstoppable. Picard is forced to beg Q to end the encounter, which he does. The Enterprise returns to the alpha quadrant, shaken, humbled and in fear of a new threat to their way of life.
‘Q Who’ is a huge turning point in Star Trek: The Next Generation, but Andrew, James and Alex seem to get a little obsessed with their problems with the title as well as Ensign Gomez’s hot chocolate. Also which one is Geordi again? It’s so easy to forget.
