Strong points that I agree with, but Q’s temptations are also pretty weak when you remember holodecks exist.
Q keeps throwing “imaginary” women at Worf and Riker thinking that they can’t go to the holodeck and load up any number of “Barkley’s Follies” or “Beverly’s ghosts with the most” programs.
Sure makes dealing with a trickster god that will ruin you less appealing.
Now you have me wondering if the holodeck programs are free for all, or if private simulations are possible. The social ramifications of either are profound.
The federation prioritizes rights like privacy, so I’m sure you can have private programs. It’s a military vessel, so it’s likely there are caveats, but I think “private” is probally the default.
I also think Barkley and The Dancing Doctor are freaky enough to publically share their porn.
I really like his exasperation at the computer for creating gangsters that want to shoot him while he is trying to relax in his Dixon Hill holonovel. Imagine trying to relax without violence in a noir detective novel. lol
I can’t believe Janeway made him take back the bed with satin sheets. And the puppy!
But also: the look of “omfg, really?” When Q and Q “have sex” by just touching (finger) tips. She was forever kicking herself after that. Could have had a demi-god child, a puppy and a heart shaped bed with satin sheets. Oh, and I guess maybe been sent home or something stupid, idk.
