Earl Grey 104: The Great and Powerful Kevin

Q-like Beings.

Captain James T. Kirk and the NCC-1701 crew were not that
impressed with aliens posing as "gods," from Apollo to Vaal.
However, it turns out that, a generation (or so) later, Captain
Jean-Luc Picard and the NCC-1701-D encounter just as many awesome
creatures. Q sets the standard in "Encounter at Farpoint," but
The Next Generation features other "new life" that seems beyond
human understanding. 

In this episode, Daniel, Darren, and Phillip look at the Q-like
beings of TNG. From Nagilum and his magic maze ("Where Silence
Has Lease") to the Edo Guardian (#Justice!), the Enterprise-D was
forced to look at the galaxy in an entirely new way. Earl Grey
also examines The Traveler ("Where No One Has Gone Before," et.
al.), The Great and Powerful Kevin ("The Survivors"), and even
Mr. Green Screen, John Doe ("Transfigurations"). The number of
"light beings" is added up in this episode, leading the Next Gen
trio wondering why there was not a Blu-Ray fan disc release of
"The Light Beings of Next Gen." So get ready to raise your
consciousness, move beyond your corporeal being, and join Earl
Grey as they discuss the Q-like beings in The Next
Generation.
