I just watched Deja Q. It's got to be one of my favourite Q episodes. Love his interaction with Data.

Yes. He has some great conversations with Data about being human, Guinan stabs him with a fork, and he tells Geordi that changing the gravitational constant of the universe would solve the problem of a moon's decaying orbit.

Attached is a terrific Jean-Luc & Beverly centered episode.

As I recall, Geordi's initial reaction to that suggestion was...less than enthusiastic...

Yes, it was. Data had to explain to Q that it wasn't an option. Although it gave Geordi the more realistic idea to try and alter the moon's orbit.

Q's interaction with Worf was terrific in this episode too. "Eat any good books lately?" and Worf saying that if Q died, it would prove that he'd lost his powers.

Worf and Guinan's interactions were great

I just watched it on some site (rediff?). I love Data's comment that Q had "achieved in disgrace what [Data had] sought for" all his life.

Eat any good books, lately?
That throw-away crack at Worf was hilarious.

To me, it was a terrific , well rounded episode. And at the end, we just know that Q really hasn't learned much from the experience.

Deja Q would be right up there for me. Some terrific lines and great humour.
