Spock vs. Q: The Sequel

Spock vs. Q #2

by Cecilia Fannon, Leonard Nimoy (Narrator), John de Lancie (Narrator)

The battle of wits and logic is joined again!

Following their debate over the fate of mankind, Spock and Q have continued their discussions over a meal. After dining, the two return to the stage to recount their repast, which included encounters with several of Spock's former shipmates.

However, at the moment the two verbal sparring partners shake hands, a power surge places them in total darkness. Suddenly, Spock and Q are no longer on stage, but somewhere in deep space.

As they struggle to determine what has happened, a curious personality change takes hold. Spock is overcome with giddy delight. Q is much more serious, even... logical.

Masterfully performed by Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie, Star Trek® Spock vs. Q: The Sequel is a fascinating and often hilarious role reversal that reveals previously unknown sides of Spock and Q. It is a program so original it could only come from Alien Voices®.

Love will steal the stars … how is this ship not a bigger presence in the fandom!!! They’ve literally had two books dedicated to them.

Hilarious.

Following their performance in the original "Spock vs. Q" drama, Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie returned as their trademark characters in a sequel that takes place immediately after the events of the first script.

This one is different but equally instructive and amusing. In the first drama, Spock is trying to get Q to remove an asteroid that's headed straight for Earth by persuading him that humanity is well worth the saving, even if Q thinks he's above it all.

Here, Spock and Q are somehow given the chance to swap personalities, a bit like the Freaky Friday / Parent Trap template. Spock ends up finding it more liberating than he expected to experience life as the narcissistic "god," and Q decides that maybe logic isn't so dull a subject after all.

Fun and--at times--surprisingly profound for an hour-long audio script!

Nowhere near as good as the first one, but still very enjoyable.

[Symmonz · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is not a book or a novel... Just standup with 2 actors playing the characters in front of an audience.

[Allan Olley · Rating 4 out of 5]

Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie reprise their most iconic roles respectively as the coldly logical Vulcan Spock and the playful capricious arrogant godlike Q. This continues on almost directly from the previous audio book Spock vs. Q and involves another extended dialogue between the two heavy on broad humour and relatively light light on involved references to Star Trek. It is maybe a bit too broad and silly in its execution, but it is an entertaining production and both actors are a delight to listen to.

The audiobook worked fine on the Android app and was free of the long silences of the previous Spock Vs Q production.

unbelievably funny.

[Lois Merritt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just like part one, this makes one long for what could have been with a crossover episode of TNG with Q, bringing Spock into it. Not canon, but who cares! LOL

Amazing fun romp!

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not as good as the first one. But still amusing to listen to.

[Alisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fantastic as always!

[Peter G · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as good as part 1, but very enjoyable.

[Federico Lucifredi · Rating 5 out of 5]

The sequel is over the top and still very funny.

[Roderick Vonhogen · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sequel to the hilarious ‘Spock vs. Q” in which the two switch characters. I enjoyed it just as much as their first confrontation.

[tyRonE hArDing · Rating 1 out of 5]

Bad Story. Really dumb. Couldn't wait for it to be over. Dissapointing since the first one was so good.

[Steven Shinder · Rating 3 out of 5]

Upon second listen, I still prefer the first one. Spock and Q acting more like each other sounds funny, but comes across cringeworthy at times.

[Kim Hansen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good fun to see this sequel to the first debate between Spock and Q. However, I like the first one better.

[Gabriel Mero · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great follow up to the first one. I wish they'd done more of these before Leonard passed.

[Kit · Rating 5 out of 5]

Spock and Q switch personalities, I don't know how, we don't question it, just go with it, it's ridiculous in the very best way and I loved it so much!

[Simon Says Hellooo · Rating 5 out of 5]

I live for the chance that spock will come back through time to visit earth before the enterprise!

[Melvin Marsh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Funnier than the first, plus in audio book format, Spock laughs!

[Matt · Rating 2 out of 5]

Didn’t enjoy as much as the first one, but that’s just due to a personal preference to have Q be Q and Spock be Spock.

[ஐ Katya (Book Queen)ஐ · Rating 5 out of 5]

The original and the sequel are both hilarious. I love both Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Q (John de Lancie).

[Tristin Lehmann · Rating 4 out of 5]

I think I enjoyed this more than the first one because now I knew what to expect. It was silly and enjoyable.

[Jose · Rating 2 out of 5]

Tried the second one because its included in Spotify but still no good for me.

Not a fan, just 2 actors talking to each other , trying to do stand up comedy.

[Stephanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like Vulcans, you will like this. If you like omnipotent beings playing with the universe, you will like this. If you like both of them, then you will really like this.

Spock and Q debate over humanity's fate. Spock is trying to save them and Q is trying to destroy them. Arguments and laughter (even a Vulcan joke) ensue.

[Mikael Kuoppala · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spock and Q debate again, still within the subject of ecology and the future of the human race. Like the first “Spock vs. Q” the sequel also manages to combine witty and funny dialog with sharp observations and bold statements. Not to mention all the great character stuff.

[glass.curtain · Rating 4 out of 5]

The second entry in the Spock vs. Q series. Not quite as great as the first one, but still very, very entertaining. Like the first one, this is another go-to for a relaxing Star Trek adventure, where Leonard Nimoy and John DeLancie have fun with their audience.

[John · Rating 5 out of 5]

this one is as funny as the first one

[Bo · Rating 4 out of 5]

The "Who's on First"-esque haiku sequence alone is worth the listen.
