Hilarious in Hindsight


* HilariousInHindsight: The plot involves a young orphan raised by others who discovers that she is not a regular person, but in fact has magical powers. Furthermore, the deepest desire of her heart is to know what her birth parents looked like. All of this also applies to Franchise/HarryPotter.

** Amanda Rogers is a blonde adoptee played by a FakeAmerican. The ensuing decade after this episode’s airing would see [[Creator/PortiaDeRossi an Australian actress]] [[NamedLikeMyName born under the same name]] see great success playing Fake Americans, one of them being [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment a blonde adoptee]].

Indentation


* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Picard's PatrickStewartSpeech of the episode has him [[ScrewYouElves call out the Q for their abuse of power despite their proclamations of greater morality]], stating humans are more moral than Q. And Q doesn't deny any of it. Is it simply that he's impressed with Picard, or does he actually agree with him that Q don't possess any superior form of morality? Or given that he states he enjoys Picard's speeches, was his talk of TheRightOfASuperiorSpecies just an attempt to rile him up?

** Another possibility considering Q's bemused expression during the speech is that he still believes Picard is being incredibly naïve. During the episode, he more than once cautions Picard on his naïveté.

Recap Pages shouldn't spoil things that happen after the recapped episode.


** Q remarks early on that he can't understand what humans find so appealing about "those squirming little infants", and hopes he never does. [[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS3E10TheQAndTheGrey Five years later]], Q will himself become a father.

Added wasted a good plot

Added DiffLines:

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Given that Riker has previous experience with being offered the powers of Q, it would have made sense to assign him as an advisor to Amanda. Which might have been fun given she had her own reasons for wanting to spend time with him.
