Q3 shows the court the Q continuum (or rather how it would be interpreted by their feeble human minds) as a road stretching around the entire planet with one rest stop, a country gas station and store overlooking a wheatfield with a scarecrow in it, and some Q standing around bored. Q3 describes immortality as very boring, you can only experience the universe so many times before it gets boring.
What did the Scarecrow represent?
In the episode the cast walk by a scarecrow.
Q: I was even the scarecrow for a while.
Janeway: Why?
Q: Because I'd never done it before.
Other Q: Oh we've all done the scarecrow. Big deal.
I believe that the Scarecrow represents God. Since scarecrows keep crows away from corn. In this case the Q have at one point in time guided or scared lesser lifeforms away from various universally harmful things. God himself is really a giant scarecrow telling us humans don't touch.
[edit] Riker Across Space
Should it be noted specifically that Q erased the memory of Riker after the visit? I can imagine newbies to Star Trek wondering why Riker didn't tell everyone most of the missing Voyager crew was, in fact, alive.
