YMMV / Star Trek: The Next Generation S3E13 "Deja Q"

• Alternate Character Interpretation: The crew is not that upset at Q considering on their last encounter he introduced them to the Borg, costing numerous lives. Probably because the Borg had already launched incursions into Federation (and Romulan) space, and were indeed a threat the Federation wasn't prepared for in the slightest. While lives were lost, without this introduction and no preparation, the Federation may have easily been assimilated on the Borg's first outright invasion.
• Genius Bonus: When Data bursts into hysterical laughter after receiving Q's "going-away present" at the end of the episode, the entire crew is baffled by it- except Troi, who smiles. When an android is capable of feeling genuine emotions, Troi can sense them, so she can tell Data is reacting to feelings of mirth.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: After being rendered mortal, during his check-up with Dr. Crusher, Q snarks that he's "been under a lot of pressure, family problems". Ironically, Q would later start a family during his appearances on Voyager, where his son proved to be as much trouble as he was!
• Jerkass Woobie: Q is as obnoxious and selfish as ever, and he's also intensely whiny about losing his powers and being forced to live out a mortal life as a human, but his usual arrogance and amorality have slipped. He really does hate and fear being mortal, and he believes he is so out-of-touch with humans that he is incapable of living as one; depending on your Alternative Character Interpretation, either he would rather die than face life as a human, or he chooses to perform a Heroic Sacrifice because he sees his life as having no value.
• Memetic Mutation: Picard's reaction to Q picking the Enterprise for refuge has become the Trope Codifier for Facepalms.
