* Star Trek: The Next Generation: Often Q will taunt the crew with games he\\\'s invented to test the crew\\\'s morals. He even comments that games are more important than life: \\\"The play is the thing\\\".
First of all, I can\\\'t recall a single instance of Q actually saying this -- but since the \\\"example\\\" doesn\\\'t bother to cite any specific episodes, this is very difficult to verify. But, more significantly, this is a \\\'\\\'complete misinterpetation\\\'\\\' of the phrase.
\\\"The play\\\'s the thing\\\" is a [[ShoutOut/ToShakespeare Shout Out to Shakespeare]], and it refers to a \\\'\\\'stage play\\\'\\\', not any kind of game. The line occurs in \\\'\\\'Hamlet\\\'\\\', in the context of a ShowWithinAShow. Hamlet suspects that his father (the previous king) was murdered by the current king, Claudius. He plans to trick Claudius into revealing his guilt by adding lines about regicide to a play that Claudius will see performed. Hamlet intends to watch Claudius closely to see if he flinches when those lines are spoken.
-->\\\'\\\'\\\'Hamlet:\\\'\\\'\\\' I\\\'ll have grounds \\\\\\\\
More relative than this -— the play\\\'s the thing \\\\\\\\
Wherein I\\\'ll catch the conscience of the King.
It is inconceivable that a line from Hamlet could be misused on \\\'\\\'StarTrekTheNextGeneration\\\'\\\' in the manner suggested by this example. The series is loaded with Shakespeare references, which are always used in an intelligent and informed way. This is largely due to the presence of PatrickStewart (Captain Picard), who was an experienced Shakespearean stage actor before the series began, and who actually \\\'\\\'played Claudius\\\'\\\' in two productions of \\\'\\\'Hamlet\\\'\\\'. JohnDeLancie, the actor playing Q, is also a veteran Shakespearean stage performer. With both of these actors on the set, you can be sure that any misinterpretation of a line from \\\'\\\'Hamlet\\\'\\\' would be instantly pointed out \\\'\\\'and corrected\\\'\\\' before production could continue.
So no, \\\"the play\\\'s the thing\\\" has \\\'\\\'\\\'nothing\\\'\\\'\\\' to do with winning or losing.
