Oh, I fully realise that godlike aliens are par for the course in Star Trek, but Kevin Uxbridge is so far beyond the others in terms of power that you have to think he's particularly stupid to think that the only way he could get the Enterprise-D to leave would be to have a bigger, badder ship attack it. Or, for that matter, how he couldn't figure out a way to repel the attacking Husnock without harming them, thus saving his wife. It's the disconnect between the part of the story where he allowed his beloved wife to die and the part where he genocided an entire space-capable species that annoys me.
