Amazon.co.uk Review
Volume 3 in the Star Trek Fan Collective series focuses on the show's resident deity, Q, played with indignant mischief by John De Lancie. While previous Fan Collectives have taken votes to select which episodes around a certain theme would be included, Q makes things easy (the character never made things easy) by simply including all 12 episodes (two are double-length) in which he appeared. And because Q was especially fond of tormenting Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew, most of the episodes are from The Next Generation, including that series' first episode, "Encounter at Farpoint". Subsequent episodes are "Hide and Q" in which the crew plays a deadly game; "Q Who," in which a temper tantrum throws the Enterprise into its first-ever encounter with the Borg (also included on the Fan Collective: Borg set); "Deja Q," in which the character becomes a normal human; "Qpid," in which Q tries to play matchmaker by turning Picard into Robin Hood; "True Q" in which Q reveals the truth about a mysterious young woman; "Tapestry," in which Picard shares a near-death experience with the godlike thorn in his side; and the series finale, "All Good Things…" Q also made brief stops in the first season of Deep Space Nine ("Q Less") and in Voyager. In "Death Wish," Q tries to help Captain Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) recover her male crew members after an encounter with another member of the Q Continuum, "The Q and the Grey," in which Q wants Janeway to bear his child; and the final season's "Q2," in which Q's son arrives to cause chaos, such as removing Seven of Nine's (Jeri Ryan) clothes. As with previous Fan Collective sets, the only new features (and in this case there are no other features) are text commentary on three episodes by Michael Okuda and Denise Okuda. --David Horiuchi

after purchasing the borg fan collection on I wandered if they would release a q-best off, and they did. Q Is one of the best characters from STNG always playing god and games with TNG crew it was him that introduced us too the borg which is on this set. I wasnt too keen on the voyager episodes which he was in it I felt they were running out of ideas and lacked the spark that picard/q relationship had. But overall i found this set value was for money and brought back many fond memories of some quality startrek episodes. having seen some boring episodes of startrek ive found these fan box sets really good as they have some of the best starrek episodes and at good value saving you too buy the series box sets. time travel/borg and klingon collective are also available. There are no real features on this disc set it would of been great too see a interview with John de Lancie (q) bud sadly not there some text commentarys on this disc but thats it. any 4.9/5
