Qpid

Captain Picard is sent on a Robin Hood style adventure by Q.

This is a fun episode that must have been blast for the actors to perform and it entertains as long you do not take it too seriously.

The story is not the slightest bit important, other than it sets up a future premise for the guest characters. It is all designed to see the characters acting out a Robin Hood fantasy in a light hearted piece of escapism.

Picard as a swashbuckling action hero has decent comedy value, but the standout moments for me all involve Lieutenant Worf who is a wonderfully angry straight man in the middle of all the tomfoolery.

Before all the Q shenanigans kick off there is a superbly awkward number of scenes with Picard and Vash aboard the Enterprise that are very enjoyable, particularly the ones with Dr Crusher.

All the visuals are fun with some great costumes, outdoor shoots and a castle set.

All performances are enjoyable especially John de Lancie, Patrick Stewart and Michael Dorn.
