Summary: And then again, . . . .


     I really liked Q.  Was it a *cruel* smile?  Sorry Reid, that's
just your interpretation.  For me it was bemused and enigmatic.
Fantastic acting!  The best I've seen in years.  The changes were
so complete and fast they were jarring -- which was the most refreshing
thing in the whole movie.  Everybody seems to like the crew except
the Councillor (sp?) and personally I'd give her a 2nd chance, but
I can't say I took to her either.  Some people don't like Number 1.
I can take him or leave him.  2nd chance granted again.

     Data?  Most people like him.  I'm still undecided.  Interesting
point in the dialog was when  Stryker made the docking manuever
"with out automation" and Data was the Pilot.  Without automation?
Riiiighht.

     By the way, what do *you* think is Q's motivation?  Is he a
good-guy, bad-guy, or just a super jerk?  Do you think he *really*
represents anybody except himself?  Why did he let the people die?
On the otherhand, why didn't he kill anybody himself?  Why did
he stop the Enterprise from interposing itself between the Bandi
village and the "ship/creature"?

Cheers! -- Jim O.
