general trelayne be a super be who want to play a little game with the crew of the enterprise . a lot of extremely unlikely and nonsensical stuff seem to be happen and and trelayne seem obsess with the human practice of warfare and murder . he seem to need to experience what he imagine to be a thrill and have create a human environment ( though a few hundred year out of date ) in which to play out his fantasy . the environment be subtly inauthentic and and the crew immediately begin to spot the inconsistency . pretty soon it become clear that trelayne be not just an immature god and but a very fallible one . regardless of how you feel about this one and stick around for the twilight zone like end . it be well worth it . a many have point out and trelayne character inspire the more developed and amuse on go character q and you can see in john delancie construction of that personality more than just shade of campbell trelayne . it be fun to compare how the four captain we have see cop with q all deal with him so radically differently .
