Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Episode 7: Q-Less [VHS] Review
Original airdate: 2-7-93. Stardate: 46531.2. While the premiere season of DS9 was sharing airtime with the final season of The Next Generation, writers were encouraged to bridge the gap between the series, which resulted in lightly enjoyable episodes like "Q-Less," in which Capt. Picard's omnipotent nemesis (played with fey sarcasm by John de Lancie) gives equal time to Sisko and the crew of DS9. Also making the leap from the NextGen episode "Qpid" is Vash (Jennifer Hetrick), Picard's paramour and intrepid archaeologist, rescued by Dax from the Gamma Quadrant and arriving on DS9 with valuable artifacts that Quark is eager to auction off for profit. It all leads to the revelation of a mantalike alien life form, which is old hat for Trek fans, so this episode's greatest asset is the banter between Q and Vash, in their one and only DS9 crossover. --Jeff Shannon
