Stardate 43539.1 While orbiting the planet Bre'el Four to investigate the potential dangers of a descending asteroidal moon, the Enterprise receives an unexpected visit from an old nemesis, the mischievous and omnipotent Q (John de Lancie). When Picard (Patrick Stewart) accuses Q of altering the moon's orbit, Q claims innocence, asserting that he has been castout of the Continuum and stripped of all his powers. Picard assigns Data (Brent Spiner) to keep an eye on Q while the crew struggles to correct the moon's orbit. Danger suddenly appears as a gas-like form permeates the ship and begins to attack Q. Is Q hiding a secret that could spell destruction for Bre'el Four and the crew of the Enterprise?

The first collection of episodes from The Next Generation centered around one of the most popular characters, "Q". The Q Continuum featured four episodes, complete with new chapter stops, together on a limited edition, 8000 unit, collection. All episodes featured were already available in the standard issue versions of The Next Generation, so most collectors felt that offering nothing new to the collector was simply greedy business by Paramount. Additionally, some could question if these are indeed "The best of the Q episodes" as the package claims. Mysteriously absent are wonderful episodes such as "Qpid" and "All Good Things...". Further "Q Who?" is repeated in The Borg Collective, which is a series of four "Borg" related episodes. Also included was this "special, very personal letter from John de Lancie".
