ReviewThe Adventures of Robin HoodCasablancaRatings Criterion
- The pinnacle of film perfection and excellence.
- Not quite an immortal film, yet a masterpiece in its own right.
- Historically important film, considered a classic.
- Borderline viewable.
- A gangrenous and festering pustule in the chronicles of celluloid.

I am kinda struggling on what to write about this one. I really liked the story... but the production left a bit to be desired. This film could have used a bigger budget... some of the special effects just could have been better. But over all I enjoyed the film... it is definitely worth the time to watch it.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

TNG 4.20 QPid
Writer: Ira Steven Behr (Screenwriter), Randee Russell (Original Material By), Ira Steven Behr (Original Material By)
Director: Cliff Bole
Cast: Patrick Stewart (Capt. Jean-Luc Picard), Jonathan Frakes (Cmdr. William Riker), LeVar Burton (Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge), Michael Dorn (Lieutenant Worf), Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher), Marina Sirtis (Counselor Deanna Troi), Brent Spiner (Lt. Commander Data), Jennifer Hetrick (Vash), Clive Revill (Sir Guy), John de Lancie (Q), Joi Staton (Servant)

In this episode Q seems more like a prankster. I like the beginning of the episode, where the crew gets to know Vash and that the captain seemed to have had more fun at his last vacation than he let on.
But once they were are in Q's recreation Sherwood Forrest, this episode becomes boring and slightly ridiculous. There are some fun moments though like Worf trashing Geordi's instrument or his "I am not a merry man!" proclamation.
