Better than the start of the episode suggested, but still not that great.
I think the idea just wasn’t strong enough on its own. The real strength of the Q episodes is in Q’s interactions with Picard, and that gets left out here, partly due to the focus on Beverley more than Picard. The young Q was also not that great an actress, so we didn’t get a strong enough sense of her internal conflict.
Still, it was a *lot* better than *Qpid*.
