This episode feels like the writers said "wouldn't it be fun if...". The paper thin plot gives no emotional or dramatic justification for the goings on (Q "obligated" to repay a debt? Please.). Look, I know it was established in the Jim Kirk days that a starship captain couldn't be romantically entangled, but Picard's "romance" is completely unconvincing. He barely indicates that he likes Vash, and her presence clearly embarrasses him. The cast looks like they're having fun with the Robin Hood stuff, but it's very obvious that they're all just play acting. The only really good line? Worf saying "I am NOT a merry man!"
