"Qpid" is the 94th episode of the syndicated American science fiction television series ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', the 20th episode of the fourth season. The captain and Vash are reunited when the ''Enterprise'' hosts an archaeology symposium, but their disparate personalities soon have them sparring instead of spooning. Enter Q, who offers to do Captain Picard a favor by getting him and his ladylove back together again. When Picard rejects the notion, Q transforms the captain into Robin Hood and sends him, Vash, and several members of Picard's senior staff to Sherwood Forest for a less than idyllic romp. ==Plot== Captain Picard is working late on a speech that he will present to a group of visiting archaeologists when Counselor Troi (Marina Sirtis) tells him that the council members have arrived and been assigned quarters. Picard returns to his quarters and finds Vash waiting for him, and the two kiss. The next morning, the two are sharing breakfast when Doctor Crusher (Gates McFadden) arrives and offers to give Vash a tour. Vash expresses surprise and slight anger at the fact the Captain hasn't told his friends about her and confronts him about this at a reception for the delegates. After the reception, Q returns to repay Captain Picard for saving him in "Déjà Q". Picard requests nothing, so Q decides to save Picard by testing Picard's love for Vash. While Picard is addressing the delegates, Q transports the bridge crew to medieval England, where Captain Picard is Robin Hood and the bridge crew are the Merry Men, much to Worf's (Michael Dorn) disgust ("I am not a merry man!"). Shortly after they arrive, English soldiers attack the group. On the Captain's order, the group retreats to the cover of the forest. Q assumes the role of the Sheriff of Nottingham and has imprisoned Vash, now Maid Marian. Picard must rescue Vash as she is sentenced to die for treason. Vash manipulates Sir Guy of Gisbourne (Clive Revill) into sparing her life by professing love and promising marriage. Picard realizes that if he does nothing, Vash will die. He orders his officers to remain in the woods as this is a personal matter and he doesn't want them to get hurt, then disguises himself and infiltrates the castle as a peasant worker. Picard climbs up to the tower and through the window, much to Vash's relief and surprise. The two bicker over the merits of Picard's rescue plan, and Vash refuses to go. Picard begins to carry her away when a group enters. Picard is taken away by the guards, and Vash tries to send a message to Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes), which is stopped by Q, who reveals himself to Vash and has her taken away. At the chopping block, Picard's officers reveal themselves disguised as monks and create a diversion. In the ensuing fight, Picard and his staff prove themselves formidable fighters and win the day. At the end, Picard frees Vash, who leaves with Q to explore the galaxy. Q guarantees Vash's safety; with that, Picard considers Q's debt paid in full. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Qpid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
