Summary: A Trekker's "must buy"
Review: A fantastic dialogue between two very talented actors - John de Lancie and Leonard Nimoy. The interplay between the two as they bring their Star Trek characters to life is really something to hear. Both actors definitely know their characters innately and the script (it is a scripted dialogue) was very intuitively written and keeps things moving.From Spock's "joke" to Q's standard off-the-cuff and witty banter, the story moves along and weaves through several issues (to include environmental awareness as well as technology) and in the end, the listener is left contemplating their own place in the grand scheme of things. A great selection here. Highly recommended.

Summary: Shakespeare would love this.
Review: At last, two of the Star Trek universes most beloved characters match wits in this audio tape. We happy few are treated to an intellectual battle the likes of which are rarely known in modern literature. "Q" the mischevious superbeing and Spock, the bastion of logic and reason finally "duke it out" verbally and the results are wonderful to behold. I highly recommend this hour long exercize in debate and linguistic legerdemain to any and all fans of witty repartee, oh, we Trekkors dig it too.

Summary: The humor never stops
Review: Even tough this isn't a book, it's very funny. Actually in my opinion, I think it works better as a recording than as a book. Once more Leonard Nimoy portrays the ever-so logical Spock, and John De Lancie plays the omnipotent Q. Filled with plenty of jokes and riddles as Q attempts (unsuccesfully) to outsmart Spock, and inadverdantly gets himself outsmarted by Spock. For any trekkie, or Nimoy or De Lancie for that matter, this is a must.

Summary: Logic versus omnipotence... and the winner is...
Review: Ever since my initiation into the realm of Trekkie-dom, I've found Spock and Q to be among the most fascinating (doh!) characters to emerge from the Star Trek mythos. Even before this recording ever came out, I'd ofttimes wondered how these two individuals would match up in a battle of wits. But once I heard that two certain 'Trek actors started up an audio drama production company a few years back, I figured it was only logical (doh!) for them to eventually produce a little audio venture involving their Star Trek alter-egos. And sure enough... Alien Voices Productions co-creators Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie once again jump into the roles that have made them pop-culture legends, and have a go at the logic-versus-emotionalism debate in classic radio drama style, with the fate of humanity at stake. Spock has traveled back in time to warn his listeners (this production was recorded in front of a studio audience) about an impending asteroid collision, but Q makes efforts to prevent this intervention, going so far as using the Prime Directive of non-interference that Spock's Federation so reveres. Then there's the main event-Spock attempting to convince a seemingly indifferent Q to take action to prevent the catastrophe. Although the two take many verbal pot shots at each other over the course of the hour-- with Spock using his dry Vulcan logic and Q with his smug sarcasm-- the many retorts and barbs exchanged are more lighthearted than mean-spirited. Despite their positions on the issues, both opponents seem to have a certain degree of respect and even affection for each other. And despite the desperate nature of the situation, the tone of this little standoff is more "all in good fun" than it is grim. Although I felt that DeLancie's portrayal of Q was pretty much dead-on (though at times a bit too dramatic), I found some fault with Nimoy's Spock reprisal. He seemed a bit too emotional at times, and his moments of sarcasm were quite a bit more biting and a lot less reserved, especially when compared to his classic verbal bouts with Dr. McCoy. But despite Spock being somewhat out of character, I rather enjoyed this legendary war of wills. I found its many moments of lighthearted comedy and pitched battles of ideas to make for a very relaxing and thought-provoking hour. 'Late

Summary: Great Actors, Lousy Act
Review: I am a big fan of Q, and I love Vulcans in general and Spock in particular. So I figured that this tape would be a lot of fun with such wondeful actors and characters. And the actors and characters were wonderful - both Nimoy and DeLancie delivered great preformances, absolutely top notch. If that's what you're looking for, buy this tape. But don't expect plot. I shouldn't have, in retrospect, but I did..... instead of a heated, interesting debate, Q and Spock spend Side A of the tape trading insults (Spock: "You are a fathead."), and Side B, where I'd expected an actual "battle of wits" -.... None of the material, by itself, is bad; most of it is very funny. But put together into one hour-long lump with no other content, it gets a bit tedious and leaves me feeling very disappointed.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I bought this cd for my husband, a great Star Trek fan. I also am a Star Trek fan and was looking forward to hearing it myself. I would have to admit, however that I was greatly disappointed. First, the cd was only about an hour in length and most of the time was used up by the audience clapping, laughing, etc. The humor was silly. I expected more from a debate between Spock and Q. It didn't seem worthy of the characters, especially Spock.

Summary: StarTrek: Spock vs. Q. an Alien Voices Production
Review: I have just bought this tape and have listened to it about three(3x)times already, and think it is wonderful to quote "Q" or is that Mr.Q?. This is very good and very funny well worth having, I have seen the Alien Voices crew on The SciFi Ch. and would love to see this battle of wits on SciFi, just to see John DeLance's performance as Q as jousts with Spock. This program having been recorded before a Live Audiance helps to make this performance hilarious to say the least ,Both actors are in rare form as thier respective caracters as the engage in a verbal battle of wits (Intelectual vs."Nitwit,Nimcompoop" as in you are). If like Spock and Q get this book in either form(Tape or CD)it's worth it to listen to Spock run rings around Q so to speak. This text refers to the Audio Cassette version.
