I think my favorite of the Barclay episodes was the one where the hologram of him was sent to Voyager. (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Inside_Man_%28episode%29) It was interesting seeing Dwight Schultz play such different characters, i.e. the overly confident, life-of-the-party, evil hologram Barclay and the shy, insecure, real Barclay. That and it presented another opportunity to show how subtly badass Counselor Troi can be. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjblFm-lero)
And yeah, the first of the Q Voyager eps (http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Death_Wish_%28episode%29) was my favorite as well. "You mustn't think of us as omnipotent, no matter what The Continuum would like you to believe. You and your ship seem incredibly powerful to lifeforms without your technological expertise. It's no different with us. We may appear omnipotent to you, but believe me, we're not." Although I know from a show standpoint that it would have been a bad idea to have a former Q as a member of the crew for the rest of the series, I still can't help but wish that he would have decided to commit suicide by old age, rather than taking the poison. :/ Oh, and I thought it was cool that they managed to slip in a Next Gen cameo with Riker in that one as well.
