Did he? Looking at the entire picture, Q is basically a benevolent trickster god for Picard. Almost every single "trial" has Picard coming out stronger because of it. ST:Picard even has Q state it out right.

Picard was his pet project. The kind of thing godlike beings do when bored. Just reshaping the dynamics of a galaxy for shits and giggles.

That applies to most gods in real life religions too. If anything Q has a more respectful relationship with Picard than gods display in most mythologies.

Please don't bring this poser here...

Unfortunately I'm only familiar with the meme. I've paid no attention to him otherwise. Have I missed something I'm guessing?

Given the full spectrum of human expression, I guess he's not that bad. He's just an overall talentless hack and asshole.

That scene in particular he's being quite the idiot.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.
