Plot

Picard is scheduled to give a lecture to a group of distinguished arc- haelogists, one of whom turns out to be his old flame, Vash. Meanwhile, Q turns up wanting to repay a supposed debt to Picard and discovers Picard's relationship with Vash. Q, to prove his point that Picard has a weakness for Vash, transports Picard and the Enterprise crew to Sherwood Forest as Robin Hood and his Merry Men who now have to rescue Vash from the Sheriff of Nottingham - Q.

In-Jokes

  • The scene where Worf smashes Geordi's lute, then says "Sorry" is completely reminiscent of a scene in Animal House at a toga party.
  • Also, Princess Bride fans might want to note that the dialog during the sword fight with Picard/Robin Hood, where he says "There is something you should know...I'm not from Nottingham.", is reminiscent of a sword fight in the movie where similar dialog is uttered.

Quotes

Q: "I would've died back then had it not been for you."
Picard: "We all make mistakes."

Worf: "Sir, I protest, I am not a merry man!"

Data: "Counselor, I believe your aim is improving."
