Star Trek - Fan Collective: Q  — 

  Another 4-disc set of episodes spanning across Trek series to collect stories all on the same subject as chosen by fans who probably already own all of them on DVD. This one puts the spotlight on John DeLancie as the omnipotent - but fatally flawed - alien known as Q.

Since Q first appeared early in the Star Trek: Next Generation, there are no Original Series episodes in this set. Though Kirk & co. had encountered omnipotent - or apparently so - characters, none gained the fan following that Q has. Why? None of them had the puckish personality of this mischievous godling, who is forever fascinated by the affairs of mortal beings. 

The set includes the NG episodes "Encounter at Farpoint", "Hide and Q", "Q Who?", "Deja Q" (with annotation), "Opid", "True Q", "Tapestry" and "All Good Things", "Q-Less" from Star Trek: Deep Space 9, and "The Q and the Grey", "Death Wish" (with annotation) and "Q2" from Star Trek: Voyager.

Two episodes were already included in previous Collectives, but since they only had ten shows per set, getting all 12 Qs in one box is a bit of a bonus. Next up is a Collective of Klingon stories.

Nice review! My dad's a big Trek fan, and Q is his fave character (mostly just because with a last name like Quinlan, he's regularly called Q himself). He's got the original series on DVD, but he lacks the Next Gen sets. This might be a great Christmas gift. Thanks!
