Casual Trek

48. Q Flash Noise!

He’s not the Messiah, he’s a very naughty cosmic entity! Our casual travellers decided to let themselves in for a time and experiment with cosmic god-like powers (powered by subtle audio cues and sound effects) while they watch three episodes featuring John de Lancie’s cosmic japester ‘Q’ (Miles is surprised at no point do they make a reference to a similar role de Lancie plays in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’). At first they watch Baby-Faced Season 1 Riker do his own experimenting with Q-Flash Noises in Hide and Q, see Q get brought down to human size sans pants in Deja Q and make a final pop over to the Delta Quadrant to see Q’s first meeting with the Voyager crew in Death Wish. BYOMB – Bring Your Own Mariachi Band!
