Stardate: 41153.7 While en route to Farpoint, Captain Picard and his crew encounter a god-like being called Q, who places humanity on trial for barbarism. Captain Picard has to prove to Q that the Human race is not barbaric; otherwise, the entire human race will be destroyed.
Meanwhile, on Farpoint, the newly assigned second-in-command, Lt. Cmdr. William Riker, must solve the mysterious goings on, on the planet, before the Federation makes their decision on if they may join the Federation of planets.
Somehow, both Picard and Riker’s separate tasks become intertwined.

| This marks the final television appearance of DeForest Kelley before his death on June 11, 1999, discounting his appearance in DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations", which was essentially archive footage from the original Star Trek series. | Colm Meaney (Miles O'Brien) and John de Lancie (Q) are the only actors, besides the regulars, to appear in both this episode and the finale "All Good Things..." Denise Crosby (Tasha Yar), who left the cast in "Skin of Evil," and was therefore not a regular cast member at the time of the finale, also appeared in both episodes. | Industrial Light and Magic did the special effects only for this episode, but was also credited for the rest of the series because footage was continuously reused. | This episode is the first mention of the Ferengi Alliance on Star Trek. | This is DeForest Kelley's only Star Trek appearance without William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy. |

| Admiral McCoy: (to Lt. Data) I don't see no points on your ears boy, but you sound just like a Vulcan!
Lt. Data: I am an android.
Admiral McCoy: (grunts) Almost as bad... | Admiral McCoy: (to Lt. Data) You treat her [the Enterprise] like a lady, she'll always bring you home... | Captain Jean-Luc Picard: If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are! |
