>ABOUT
While on a life saving mission to some critically injured colonists, the crew is paid a surprise visit by Q, who's intention is to offer Riker a place in the Q Continuum.
>TRIVIA
- This episode marks the final appearance of Q's grid, although it will be mentioned in the finale "All Good Things...".
- As with "Encounter at Farpoint", this episode is mentioned in the Season 2 episode "Q Who" when Riker says to Q "the first time we met you, you put us on trial for the crimes of humanity. The next time we saw you, you asked me to join the Q Continuum".
- This episode marks the first appearance of the Starfleet Admiral's uniform in Star Trek: The Next Generation, although it was worn by Q and this particular dress will never be seen again.
