Spock VS. Q is an original Star Trek Audio Play by Alien Voices, featuring Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie in the roles they made famous. A sequel, Spock Vs. Q: The Sequel, was also produced.Memory Alpha's plot synopsis of the original: "Ambassador Spock travels back in time to subtly warn Earth's inhabitants of impending doom while calling into question humanity's priorities. However, before the truth is told, the all powerful being Q appears and reminds Spock that he is prohibited from interfering in Earth's history. Besides, Q doesn't see mankind as something worth saving." Or not, as it turns out Q saves Mankind by diverting the asteroid away from earth, saving millions of lives. The end? Not quite. Turns out that in the sequel, Spock and Q were teleported to outer space with (even more sinisterly) both their personalities swapped.

Personality Swap: The main premise of the sequel. Though Spock also gets Q's powers; this and some other details suggests some sort of full "Freaky Friday" Flip but they (and the audience) perceive them as their original selves.

Chekhov's Gun: One of Q's riddles describes New York's Chrysler Building. His admiration for it is what ultimately tilts Q in favor of saving humanity.

Batman Gambit: The entire first play was this; Spock knew only something on the level of divine intervention would be able to stop the asteroid in time, so he set up a borderline violation of the Prime Directive that would lure in someone with that kind of power, which turned out to be Q (if he wasn't trying to get Q specifically).

Literal-Minded: Spock, especially in the sequel. His response to Q calling uncle is "I need not remind you we have no bloodline in common."
