Star Trek TNG: Episode 10 - Hide and Q

I do not like this episode. Granted, it's watchable, as many of the TNG eps are ... but it just does not make sense. It involves Q trying to tempt a human into becoming a Q. He gives Riker all of his powers. Soon Riker gives all of his friends everything they want, Geordi his sight, Wesley becomes an adult ... and Worf gets a hot chick?? Seems pretty trivial compared to giving a blind guy his fucking sight back! Anyway, Picard talks Riker into refusing the offer ... although Riker seems to really want to take it. In the end, Riker has the chance to use the power to bring a little girl back from the dead, but he can't because he promised Picard not to use his Q powers. There's a whole thing going on with pigs wearing 19th century French Military outfits. It's all so stupid and it seems like such a huge waste of time. Q has nothing better to do?!?!? You are probably the most powerful being in the universe and this is what you do with your life. I remember really liking Q, but so far he just irritates the shit out of me.

I think that's sorta the point of Q. He really doesn't have anything better to do.
He's like mr.myxplyx from superman

Why the hell didn't they just make Q and U one letter? Who came up with this dumb alphabet?

My favorite Q episode is the one where he sends them all back to the early 90s and forces them to start a naughty hip hop act. It was called "2 Live Q."

Hide and Q
Is that even a joke? I get hide and seek
Hide and Q ?!?!

What a dumb title.
Riker's first name should have been Burt so the title could have been "Q-Burt"
