Q-Less was a direct sequel to The Next Generation episode Qpid and featured the return of Q and Vash, in their only appearance in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. It was the last of three appearances in the franchise for Vash, but Q would make a couple more appearances in The Next Generation as well as a bunch in Voyager. Much like Q's interactions with Picard has the stand out scene of the court room; the entity's sole appearance alongside Sisko does too. But this involved Sisko punching him in the face. Probably one of the most memorable and funny moments from the first season of DS9. Q was a bit untapped for DS9 mostly because we just didn't get a sense of a similar relationship with Sisko that he had with Picard and would later have with Janeway. We never really got to find out what the Prophets or Q thought of each other or if there was any relationship between the two. The only problem is that how do you explain Q coming back again and again to DS9 and the character wouldn't have fitted in at all during the Dominion Wars seasons.
