As a fanboy thing it was neat to see other Qs wearing the "judge" uniform Q did in the first and last episodes of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation|The Next Generation]].

720: '''Author, Author''' ''[[2001]] [[April 18]]''
Shades of other Star Trek episodes, but this was good stuff.  It started off fun, with the doctor's exaggerated view of his problems as a hologram as played through slightly altered versions of the Voyager crew.  Then when he's got things worked out with his fleshy peers... they run smack into an example of his holographic problems as a publisher tries to take advantage of him.  Then we get to a holographic [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 2|The Measure of a Man]].
The scene at the end with the repurposed EMH Mark 1s spreading knowledge of the Doctor's work is strong.
To nitpick on a technical thing... the way Voyager handles its limited contact time with Earth bugs me.  Whether it's a day every month or 11 minutes every day, it seems there's always a squeeze to be the one to send mail or have face-to-face time.  Now, while real-time conversations have their advantages, it seems the same bandwidth could be used to send a shitload of non-realtime messages.  At times in previous episodes they've been all "OH NOES YOUR HOLOGRAM WILL PREVENT US FROM SENDING LETTERS."  Well, suck it up and just send the text version that time.
I like how the story's "Tulak" had a beard.  Evil Vulcans gotta have a beard.
