STAR TREK-Q BOX - MOVIE [DVD]

I always said they should put together all the Q episodes and here it is!

The fan collectives are perfect for fans of the series who don't want to spend a lot of money to get some of their favorite episodes. This collection deals with "Q", the first villian (sort of) that TNG dealt with.The only detail you need to know about the Q is that they are all-powerful god-like beings but they are in many ways immature. The episodes here are all of Q's appearances on three different shows.The first 2 episodes come from TNG's first season, and quite frankly the cast did not gel yet. Some of the acting is bad. There are also several things we learn about the Q that would change over the course of the series. As TNG took off, the performances became more solid. After a one show stop-over at DS9, Q also appeared on Voyager three times.Q is one of my favorite characters of all time, and this is a great collection.

If you happen to be a fan of Q and the Continuum, if the episodes in which Q appeared are your favourites in any of the Star Trek series, then this collection is right up your alley. It includes all episodes featuring Q--from TNG to DS9 to Voyager.Personally, I always felt (and still feel) that we never got quite enough Q from the Star Trek universe; he's a delicious character (John de Lancie plays him so well), and probably a lot of fun to write. But if, like me, you'll take of Q what you can get, I highly recommend this DVD set.Some episodes in the set have optional extras: commentary written on the lower margin of the screen (but not spoken aloud). If it's been a while since you've seen the episodes, I recommend leaving the commentary off for the first go, as it becomes distracting sometimes (much like audio commentary, really).

These lower priced boxed sets are a good way to review all your old favorites from the various trek series. You avoid two of the pitfalls found in the alternative of purchasing all individual seasons: firstly, even at a reduced price, you will end up spending considerably more on individual seasons; secondly, having a bookshelf devoted to startrek is not always socially the wisest course of action. For those who make the leap and fully indulge in their passion for Trek, I make no judgments. Personally, I would like to enjoy my sci-fi fix with a little bit more subtlety than a 28 season marathon in my room and few more dollars in my pocket.The episodes chosen seem to capture the theme of each boxed set very well, and it would be nice to see a "Startrek: Classics" set with no particular theme, just those good episodes that were fun to watch. I like the 'Time Travel' Collection more than the 'Q' and `Borg' collections because the episodes seem to have a little more variety within that theme. The Next Generation episodes present a much broader spectrum of 'Q' and 'time travel' than than the 'Borg' collection manages.Generally speaking, if I were going to purchase only one of these Fan Collectives, 'Q' would not be it (time travel is the best in my opinion); however, because I am a star trek geek, I bought more than one set, and I am enjoying re-viewing the shows I watched when I was younger. The 'Q' collection is pretty much self explanitory- every episode deals with the omnipotent being we all love to hate. So if thats what you want to watch, then this is the collection for you. If not, then don't buy it. Don't expect much new, if you've already spent a thousand dollars on all the complete seasons.I will fault the selections for the overlap that is present in each theme. I'm not positive, but I don't think you can purchase any two sets without re-purchasing at least one episode.

Q, while not the nicest beings in the universe, in fact quite wicked, still shows us the hilarious and dangerous ups and downs of being an all powerful being who decides to occasionally pop in and bug the hell out of the crew. Tormenting them, even killing them in some points, don't make the mistake that Q can be trusted. Yet he leads to golden moments of philosophical debates and hilarity. And here are all the episodes he's appeared in. Limited to around....12 or so...he doesn't get much but when he is in, he makes one hell of an impact. A big child or a wise ancient being....both. His lack of empathy and lack of understanding makes him such a "godly" character who the crew strives often to protect themselves while knocking him off his pedestal. Certainly one of the most interesting characters responsible for very key developments of the series.

I love these fan collections. I know the DVDs were released to raise funds for the bluray sets of TOS/TNG, but despite owning those sets, I still enjoy the fan collections. It's fascinating watching a theme series crossing all of the shows, like the Trek version of a comic book crossover story. Love it! This is cool too have even if you own the full sets of shows. I bought all of the fan collections for my parents who had never watched DS9, Voyager, or Enterprise, and they were surprised at how good those shows were.

I bought this collection as a Christmas present for my Dad, whose favorite show is Star Trek and really likes Q. This collection features every Star Trek episode that Q was in, most of which are from TNG, but also includes one from DS9 and two from Voyager. I haven't seen the Voyager ones yet, but so far, it was very good, and I would have to say my favorite episode on here is Deja Q, where Q is expelled from the Q Continuum and becomes human.

I really like that the Fan Collectives were made about different aspects of the Star Trek lore. This one has every episode that Q appeared in 8 episodes from series Star Trek: The Next Generation, 1 episode from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and 3 episodes from Star Trek: Voyager. I liked that he has a son and has to learn to be more responsible. This collection is for anyone who likes Star Trek and wants to collect Star Trek items.

Nothing beats Q and the all out mayhem the Borg bring.

Sammlung der Q-Folgen. DVD funktionieren einwandfrei.

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

Q was the one most interesting characters (at least in my opinion) of the the Star Trek series. Thoroughly enjoyable!

...... eine klasse Zusammenstellung aller Star Trek TNG / DS9 / VOY - Folgen mit Q, dem omnipotenten Wesen aus dem Kontinuum, der allen auf die Nerven fällt, Leute erschreckt & die Menschheit kritisch betrachtet, das könnte ja ICH sein... ( Grins! ) Q ist neben Data & Lore, Picard & Riker einer der besten Star Trek Darsteller, Deep Space 9 ist mir zu aufgesetzt, bei Voyager gibt es hingegen auch etliche gute Episoden, die neueste Serie "Enterprise" bewegt sich auf einem Niveau irgendwo zwischen Deep Space 9 & Voyager, naja...!Q is my God....!!
