10 Best Star Trek: Voyager Episodes Not About The Main Cast

10. Q2

Q: The Next Generation is a seventh-season episode of Star Trek: Voyager and it is surprising for actually being quite an affecting story. Keegan De Lancie, real-life son of John De Lancie, guest stars as the adolescent Q who is deposited by his father on the ship. The elder De Lancie is brilliant as the struggling father who simply can't keep up with his son.

The true success of the episode comes in the pairing of Manu Intirayami with De Lancie Jnr, as the pair make for a great comedy duo. 'Itchy and Q-ball' could even be its own show in this age of the Star Trek renaissance, as they are a brilliant double act. Keegan also shows a strong range of emotion when Q believes that Icheb has been seriously hurt by an alien attack.

Though it is all a ruse, the guest stars shine in this late entry into the franchise, with both De Lancies on pitch-perfect form as the annoying twosome, though Intirayami also excels here, even if he is given slightly less to do than everyone else.
