S1: Episode 10: Q Takes Riker on a Romantic Date; Also There's a Secondary Plot That's Uninteresting

Start Trek

Finally! They give the people (meaning me and apparently a ton of fan fic writers) what we want! Q reappears and sets his sights on hunky hard to get Riker, they have a playful back and forth and Dave cannot convince me this isn't just a massive set up in the form of a "humanity test" just so Q and Riker can have a lovely date together.
Also, Starfleet is all uppity about warp travel and stuff, but they do not know what methane is/how to detect it. Once again with the Osha violations, y'all! Oh, and a young girl dies because she's wearing those jelly shoes popular in the early 90's that gave you mad blisters and I guess she got sepsis from her jelly shoe wounds? That's my take.
Featuring: Q costume changes! Elton John? Amara's take on Too Fast Too Furious! Amara being a little too invested in the potential Q and Riker loves story! Jelly Shoes! Overworked medical residents! War games! Crappy pig human costumes! Napoleonic props and costumes! Picard vs doors! Wesley getting bayonetted! Riker being a douchecanoe! And everyone ignoring that Riker is a douchecanoe.
