Does the title of this episode really have a hyphen in it? Shouldn't it be True Q? --Josiah Rowe 22:54, 31 Mar 2005 (EST)

I thought it did have a hyphen, but this DVD screencapproved me wrong. Randee15 02:47, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

I moved the article to "True Q". Please check the "What links here" list... -- Cid Highwind 03:48, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

Done. All links have been changed to "True Q". The "What links here" page thinks that there's still a "True-Q" link at Star Trek: The Next Generation, but I can't find it. --Josiah Rowe 08:47, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

True-Q is linked via a template, but since the TNG page was not edited since the change of the template, the what-links-here table of TNG is not updated yet. -- Kobi - (Talk) 09:26, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

Interesting. I didn't realize that it worked that way. --Josiah Rowe 15:17, 1 Apr 2005 (EST)

I thought it had a hyphen too, mainly because the episode title in the season 6 box uses it.

[edit] Mary Sue

There is no official characterization of Mary Sue, and most comparisons who fit characters in Sue-dom, are by fans and critics. Since this can't have reliable sources, does it have a place here? 85.74.68.143 23:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

By the standard given aren't all Q Mary Sues? – 67.171.8.83 05:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree, and thus removed the note accordingly:

• Amanda's character has been regarded as a Mary-Sue. She's very good at many things, has a crush on a main character, has a tragic past, and it turns out that all along she has had these unlimited powers.

[edit] Removed background bit

I removed the following:

• This episode marks maybe the most typical exemple of "guest star does a huge mistake about using Trek's paraphernalia and no-one looks out and corrects it". Amanda, when asked by Crusher to scan herself by an array of tricorders, the first time points the instrument away from herself.

as it is nothing but a nitpick. --Jörg 22:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, as far as I know we've never received a technical explanation demanding that the tricorder be a directional, and not omnidirectional device. While it tends to be human nature to point it in the direction of what you are scanning, that isn't necessarily a requirement. --OuroborosCobra ^talk 23:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

• Riker's 19th-century garb and top-hat may be an homage to his other famous role as Stanley Hazard in the first two North and South TV miniseries, in which he wore similar attire.

Removed. — Morder 04:49, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
