I love this gif

I've never seen it before, yet I, too, can say I love it.

I haven't either, but I think I'm ruined by Beyond Belief.
All I can see is Frakes asking me weird questions and telling me the writers put one over on me, because it was fiction.

It's a myth!
Gotcha, the writers made that one up.
Nope! It's false!
BookBarbarian@reddit
Pure fiction

That was certainly something.
doc_birdman@reddit
That’s probably my favorite Futurama episode of all time and a really good early TNG episode.

The one where Riker is temporarily a Q?
doc_birdman@reddit
Yeah. I mean, in my opinion. First season is rough but I thought it was a fun classic Star Trek story.
Epic2112@reddit
Oh I wasn't disagreeing with you or anything, I just wasn't sure which episode you meant.

The title is Hide and Q. S 1 E 10

E9 on Netflix. They merged 1,2 into a si gle episode.
Started looking too much into the one with the silver face until I noticed i was wrong.

When were the powers ever renounced? I don’t recall that bit. As far as I know, Riker just kinda promised Jean Luc to never use the powers, and then simply never did. I don’t know if Q ever took them back: and it seems more his style to have the power constantly tempting someone.
When I was a kid watching TNG, I was in awe two adults could simply deduce in a matter of moments “okay, if we push the big red button, we invalidate humanity, so let’s simply never push the big red button.”
And actually manage to never push the big red button. Wow! Simple as that.
I imagine they never picked it up again because it sure would be tedious to have a character constantly weigh in with “you know, I am God, and could just make this whole plot meaningless” every episode.

Riker was, very briefly, a god. Not the God. But at the of episode he pretty solidly rebuked Q and the offer of becoming a Q, as we knew he would. Because the status quo is the only true god.

His over exaggerated Ole'! gesture he did when he did Q stuff always cracked me up

I saw. You were doing well until everyone died.

“Godfellas” is one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever.
“When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all.”
That quote hangs in my office.

…so was [the] Picard!
EnlightenedWanderer@reddit (OP)
Lol so true
CameronTheGreat1@reddit
The first season was the best season. After Dr. Crusher left, shit was not the same.
Spocks_Goatee@reddit
Now you've made me cry thinking of the quote.
Capt_Soupy@reddit
Hey Wes, not bad!
TheMightyTywin@reddit
Riker should have given them knowledge.
Obviously data wouldn’t accept becoming human. But if riker offered him a new warp theory equation or something data couldn’t turn it down.

Just watched this episode of Futurama and opened Reddit to see this :)

at some stage you where the best of Star Trek, and till today, you are one of the best.

You were doing well, until everyone told you no.
