Several hours ago I thought, VOYAGER - modern fairy tales (not too modern). Then this.
Good Q episode. A special treat to see a portrayal of father and son who look alike, act alike and who are father and son. Writing, acting and casting, a good job all around.
It's curious that another reviewer doesn't mention J de Lancie's appearances on Stargate.
And if true, kind of fascinating that K de Lancie went to work for the US State Department - his father portrayed a variant of a universal diplomat on Star Trek and a US civil servant (military?), if nefarious, on Stargate. Initially w/ a UN department concerning international migration . . . More recently as a Japanese Language Student as fact followed fiction. Well done, young man, and best wishes.
Hopefully Q2 learns to do the next right thing, an example I can use. A dose of hope with some humor. And behind the scenes, the story of a person inspired to see and serve the world.
Yes, I started and ended this review w/ sentences about myself. I'm self-centered and mentally ill; get over it. Enjoy the episode. Hope. Do Better.
I left out: Directed by LeVar Burton, our Reading Rainbow man. And, his father - daughter team-up now playing on Picard.
