Star Trek The Next Generation: Hide and Q (First Watch: S1E9)

Death/injury count: Federation colony (504?) tasha phased out of existence (penalty box).  Riker, given the power of the Q. worf & Wesley bayonetted.  But it was just temporary.

Oh, great, our intergalactic bad bookie.

No it doesn’t.  ever.  Save lives first.

Gabe’s more interesting than you.

Are you planning manga Yugioh?

Yeah, there’s a Klingon.

Q, really, fridging the woman and making them feel like it’s their fault?  You’re the most sexist alien lifeform I’ve met in a while.

Tasha’s interested in Picard, too?  You don’t know what to do with her, do you.

Well, you ticked him off, but then, he’s got a hair-trigger temper.

And the reloading time.

*snrk*

Taking random players out when they could be useful is entirely rude and not playing by the game.

Is that how you get more Q?

Oi no gary Mitchell for you.

Again, forcing a result isn’t the same as achieving it organically.  You warthog-faced buffoon.

Worf you should have taken some of their weapons during that charge and distributed them.

I think the writers seem to ship riker & picard.

Aside from the fact she was breathing a second ago.

Riker, see, here’s the thing—you save that child, who else do you save?  Where do you draw the line, where does it end?  Starfleet has limited resources.  They can’t be everywhere and save anyone, no matter how hard they try.  They have to content themselves in the little victories.  You don’t have that limitation.  You could, with that power, quite literally save everyone, but is it worth it?  Making humanity & its representatives immortal?

There’s the matter of that bet, too.

Of you, specifically.  Not us.

Beware what you wish for, man.

And now LaForge is flirting with Tasha.

Don’t worry, that’s Klingon foreplay.

That upset shrug of the shoulders.

Humans value things we get with our own hands.

Technically, Riker didn’t say “okay, no, this power is dumb”.
