      It's because Q mentioned he was visiting the human race over and over again because he "created" them, so it is his responsibility to attend to their needs. If Q dies, it would create an error in the continuum and all humans would cease to exist in the instance of his death. The irony is the poor treatment, fundamentally on the basis of lack of knowledge or curiosity. Q had to personally deal with human inadequacy but it allowed him to understand for just how much work needed to be applied thus so far. Humans are still a VERY long way from becoming inter-dimensional.

      The funny thing is I think that's a normal reaction when you aren't used to sleeping. I know that sounds odd, but you ever tried to get a baby to sleep? They do _not_ like it. I believe they don't understand it and think they are going to die or something so they freak out.

      It's because Q mentioned he was visiting the human race over and over again because he "created" them, so it is his responsibility to attend to their needs. If Q dies, it would create an error in the continuum and all humans would cease to exist in the instance of his death. The irony is the poor treatment, fundamentally on the basis of lack of knowledge or curiosity. Q had to personally deal with human inadequacy but it allowed him to understand for just how much work needed to be applied thus so far. Humans are still a VERY long way from becoming inter-dimensional.

    I've always wished they could have expanded upon the history between Q and Guinan. She was the only person Q dared not cross, even with all his powers. Their two species obviously have history together. Possibly the Q might be a deviation branch of Guinan's people - the El-Aurians - like the Romulans are from the Vulcans? What if the Q are the El-Aurians' nasty little secret, a section of listeners who dared to become omnipotent, immortal? Remember, Guinan existed both in Kirk's time and Picard's without physical aging. And in the TNG two-parter TIME'S ARROW, we found out that Guinan lived or at least visited Earth in Mark Twain's time of the late-19th century. The El-Aurians and the Q share at least one trait - immortality.

I know they wanted to establish the character, but it seems to me that they made him a little bit too rigid in always picking the starfleet officer human. They should really have gone oput there and picked between a smörgåsbord of different entities, they could still have John De Lancie playing the part, just with different make up.

      So, unless there is not one species in the entire universe to which your assertion does not apply, then we could infer this wasn't part of his sentence. Hence I can only conclude he is not allowed to end his sentence short, otherwise he'd just find himself in another timeline where his suicide did not work. The best he could do is being reckless, which, to such a powerful being.. must be exceeeeeedingly difficult. : )
