Felt like another one of Q's games to me; I really doubt he would have let Riker keep the powers.
Riker would not have allowed Q to toy with the Enterprise so many times especially not in season 2 when Q introduced the Borg. I think Q would have known that, which is why he would have never given Riker the powers.

And if Riker had Q's powers and didn't want to give them up - how did he plan to take them?* So either he had them and Q wouldn't be able to take them or he never really had them to start with*.
* I know that later we see Q getting stripped of his powers but that seems to be a function of the Q as a collective not something than an individual Q could do.

i just think that he were tryin to prove er point
Agreed. It would certainly be in-character for Q to misunderstand the E-D crew and expect Riker to want to keep him, but the fact that it makes NO SENSE for any Q to be able to hand out god-like powers willy nilly makes me think it was one of Q's games.
Agreed. It didn't take Riker all that long to figure it out.
The first star trek voyager episode ith the Q on, One Q didnt want to be in the continuum anymore he wanted to be mortal so after major persuasion the main Q (one off tng) stripped him of his powers.
So an individual Q actually does have the ability to take the powers away
But only because he wanted to give them up.
I think riker used his powers once to prevent the following from occuring: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMHAZwR-BdQ
I think Q was acting on behalf on the Continuum. Geordi was probably right on when he said that humans ability to grow and never be satisfied with themselves was something the Q feared and they wanted Riker to join them so they could understand it better. At the end of the episode it was the Continuum that recalled Q.
