When Q finds his son too much to handle he lets Captain Janeway have a crack at him.
Not being a big fan of Q I had low expectations for this episode and when we got not only Q but his son, also called Q I fear the worst. Q Snr. informs Captain Janeway that she must look after Q Jnr. This does not go well as he abuses his powers for his own entertainment and endangers the crew. Q Snr. has a new idea; Jnr. must live on Voyager for a week with neither his powers nor his immortality. At first he still tries to avoid doing work but eventually buckles down and tries hard. Unfortunately his father is unimpressed with his progress so he goes off the rails again and takes the Delta Flyer for a joyride along with Icheb who thought he was just going to help Jnr with some repairs. A confrontation with an alien species leaves Icheb critically injured; to save Icheb he must accept responsibility for his actions even if that means suffering an undisclosed punishment.
After a less than promising start this episode picked up nicely and proved my initial fears were unwarranted. Keegan de Lancie did a reasonable job as Q Jnr, and John de Lancie, his real life father, was fine as Q Snr. It was good that Jnr lost his powers so we didn't just have an episode full of Voyager being used as his toy. As the episode concluded both Qs had learnt a lesson which was well handled. Over all it was a decent episode which I preferred to many Q episodes.
