@Superfly Toad Oh, I stopped watching Marvel movies after the double character assassination Captain America: Civil War pulled on Iron Man and after they reduced Spider-Man into being a pathetic little Spiderboy. I can't understand how anyone could enjoy those movies anymore when Iron Man has become a backstabbing pedophile and Spiderboy is his jailbait boytoy.
The addition of John De Lancie as "Q" was one of THE best character decisions Star Trek ever made. Every episode he is in is always highly memorable with some downright funny moments. They made sure not to over-play Q's involvement, as it can be disastrous to any franchise to have too much participation or to focus too much on any character that can never be defeated.
@@greenrefrigerator Yep, the Borg was another fantastic character creation the writers included in the Trek franchise but unlike most characters, the Borg posed the greatest threat to all life (except maybe species 8472). They were as unique as the 'Q'.
@@greenrefrigerator yeah, and remember, the introduction of the Borg was a Q episode, and I felt it was really one of the better Q episodes, showing the malevolent side of Q.
Gene Roddenberry created Q because Paramount executives and Gene Roddenberry fought over Encounter at Farpoint being a 1 hour or a 2 hour premier. Gene was dead set against it... so the 1 hour version was mainly written by D.C. Fontana and had zero Q in it. Gene took it and made it two hours and in doing that he made the Q character.
He is not. He pushes to get a reaction. She handled him much better than Picard did and didn’t give him the rise he wanted. Hence he made friends with her while he was always pushing the buttons of Picard and Riker.
I always thought it was such a great pairing Kate Mulgrew and John De Lancie - they were such good friends for 15 years before the show, and the fact that Mulgrew was the one that lobbied Rick Berman hard to have De Lancie guest on Voyager.
There's another good one that got cut from the episode, when Q was talking about how SuicidalQ effected things he says that without SuicidalQ Tuvok would have been Chief Engineer on the Enterprise D. Time Russ auditioned for the role of Geordi.
Q: The arrogance, the sarcasm and the way he gloats as he walks throughout the room as he shows off by the snap of his fingers and puts everyone in their place... I love it...!!!
@@MLaak86 I think Q thought humans would eventually evolve into Q. Hinted, "The trial never ends." The trial is becoming a Q and holding the universe together.
You know, I REALLY paid attention to this clip and just now noticed all of Kate's subtle face expressions and gestures while John De Lancie was talking, and realized just how good an actress she is.
I _love_ the mortified quick head turn at 0:58 when John De Lancie casually mentions the men disappearing as attempted suicide. The professional version of "wait, what!?"
Marc Ziegenhain she said earlier in this episode that she and every other captain in starfleet have been briefed about Q's appearances aboard the Enterprise (when she thought it was the other Q)
@@jimtaylor294 yeah, it's a shame the link/relationship (if any) between the Q and the prophets was never expanded on. Trek likes to use a lot of deus ex machina via ultra-powerful beings but they never seem to interact.
I remember thinking that this was going to be a painful episode, but it ended up being very engaging. Quinn's dilemma and the revelations about the Continuum were very interesting.
This whole scene cracked me up. All I could hear out of Janeway's mind was: "The absolute AUDACITY of this species!" and "How in the HELL did Picard muster the strength to deal with this??"
I'm guessing something more like "Oh geez... if even half of what I've heard it accurate, we're in for a lot of 'Ah, shit...' moments." Of course, Janeway would phrase it more eloquently. 😂😂
Are you kidding. He couldn't say nor do half what he did in the real ST shows. Too many people being offended and too much ideology to push on a character who's most obvious character trait is offending and pushing boundries.
To be fair, Americans did invent warp drive. Also, a Frenchman with a British accent? Did England win the Hundred Years War in their universe, and if so, how come they have a Napoleon?
@@hhale im not too informative about Picard's past, but maybe he was raised with people who had an English accent? Just because he's a Frenchman doesn't automatically give him a french accent. But my answer can be easily shot down by someone more knowledgeable about Picard so idk
It was the only time Q showed up on the station. DS9 was a completely different show and De Lancie knew he had no chemistry with Brooks. Thankfully the same could not be said for Majel Roddenberry and Rene.
But IS he actually snapping his fingers? I only say that because there was an episode that brought up the fact Qs do things appearance-wise that our minds can comprehend (the Q civil war episode). He might be doing something that appears to us as something simple like him snapping his fingers, when in reality it's something else entirely, like maybe it's some weird energy ripple or something lol.
@@OfLegendBorn In the book I,Q he explains that he doesn't have to do that, but it gives it a little bit more flair. He likes to be theatrical because he always wants to be the center of attention:):)
It's not really magic. Q's abilities are as natural to him as breathing air is to humans. His powers only seem magical and godlike because there is no species as advanced as the Q.
Watching this has made me realize that we never ever got a jokey "Q meets Doctor Smith" cameo moment in this series. Imagine if we'd let them both write their own dialogue.
It's kind of funny in retrospect, the move to video tape, and then later standard definition digital has actually turned out worse in the long term. Film can be rescanned at much better resolution, but everything between that and modern digital is just stuck in pixellated limbo.
When I first started watching Star Trek Voyager I was beginning to wonder when Janeway and the others would meet Q after all the appearances he made in Star Trek TNG and only once on Star Trek DS9 so I figured it would only be a matter of time before the biggest pest in the galaxy would grace Voyager's decks and as far as I can remember they meet him 3 times the first time was when they found that member of the Continuum inside that comet, the Second time was when he appeared on Voyager again and asked Janeway to be the mother of his child and that there was a civil war going on in the Continuum quite literally and figuratively as the war was causing super novas all over the place and the Q were all dressed up as civil war soldiers and the last time was when Q sent his son to stay on Voyager for a while and he caused even more problems for Janeway and everyone else like getting Icheb in trouble and putting Voyager into another conflict with the Borg which apparently the Contiuum didn't like as Q stated 'If the Contiuum asked you once they asked you a thousand times DON'T PROVOKE THE BORG' and I wonder exactly how many times he did that and as far as I can remember that was the last time we ever saw Q.
Q is the classic archetype of an internet troll. He obviously doesn't have any true sexist beliefs about females (more accurate to say he doubts humanity's capabilities as a whole, male or female), but he knows what buttons to push to get a reaction.
Love the chemistry between these two: actually Kate and John had already been close friends for years before she even took this role. Kind of fun to see them working together and I'm sure they had fun doing it.
You know I'm surprised that with this episode Q didn't help returning Voyager to the Alpha Quadrant faster even though the Continuum did try bribing Janeway to they're favor to deal with that Q they beamed out of that comet.
Q is the most interesting the most underrated the most unappreciated the most underestimated the most under established the most underwritten Star trek character there is.
Well the Q are said to be relatively omnipotent and omniscient after all, even if it did take him a second to realise they were only women left on the bridge. Although I've often wondered if he doesn't in fact just act surprised, when he appears to be, so as to be more relatable to mortals who of course don't have infinite knowledge and power over Space and Time. Btw that last bit would be how he knew about the various men who had disappeared from Voyager before he arrived. You're welcome.
@@dartharaneus67 He's definitely not omniscient as he is often surprised to find out what others are thinking. True omniscience would entail knowing absolutely everything including the thoughts of every being in the universe. Q are powerful, but there are limits.

Voyager was already headed back to the Alpha Quandrant before Q showed up so there'd be no reason for the Continuum to interfere other than helping speed up the journey. Besides Q offered to take the crew home but Janeway declined.

Q was one of the few forces she KNEW could get her ship home immediately. This whole episode was among the best of Voyager and a rare case of Voyager truly capturing what made Star Trek great.
@@voteDC I get that.. But a few more episodes of Q meddling would have been pretty good. My favorite was when Ben Sisko punched him in the face. "You hit me. Picard never hit me😳" 😆
I love how the Q (all of them) will go out of their way to act "human" despite the fact that they are as omniscient as we can understand them to be. Exemples here: Q "noticing" the all-female crew mid-conversation, or looking around and asking questions to confirm information even though he shouldn't have to do any of that. I believe the Q understand just how confusing and annoying conversing with mortals would be for them if they talked to them like they probably do among themselves (Q to Q).
0:43. Intrigued by that expression. I always thought it was one of vulnerability, tinged with a fear she was about to become a target of this god-like creature.
Q has a history of hanging out with Starfleet personnels over the past few years from Picard to Janeway and now, the Cerritos Crew and in the future, he would mock Picard again, now old and retired
The "Is this a ship of the Valkyries?" line is now so insanely ironic considering how the newer Star Trek:Discovery has been ridiculed a bit for having large hallway scenes where its just nothing but woman and zero men to be seen.
... more than one person was upset by that? More than one person even noticed that? I really wish Star Trek fans would stop fulfilling every single negative stereotype
If you watch Star Trek as a woman, the damn thing's a sausage-fest despite people like Crusher insisting that things about misogynistic sexual biases haven't been considered true with Humans for a very long time. Even had to strain to remember such an age in our history. I really hope we find a day when we stop seeing men and women and start seeing people and human beings.

@John Doe Even odder as they can't possible have a gender in a fashion remotely close to humanoid standards.
The comment on Chakotay's tattoos being very wilderness stuck out too. I wonder if Q represents Western Civilization.
@John Doe snide remarks to annoy them.

I'm glad they kept Q to a minimum. If he shows up too often then it becomes the 'persuade Q to fix things' show.
@@voteDC I get that.. But a few more episodes of Q meddling would have been pretty good. My favorite was when Ben Sisko punched him in the face. "You hit me. Picard never hit me😳" 😆
I love how the Q (all of them) will go out of their way to act "human" despite the fact that they are as omniscient as we can understand them to be. Exemples here: Q "noticing" the all-female crew mid-conversation, or looking around and asking questions to confirm information even though he shouldn't have to do any of that. I believe the Q understand just how confusing and annoying conversing with mortals would be for them if they talked to them like they probably do among themselves (Q to Q).
If Q are omniscient they should have KNOWN VOYAGER would be there.
I'm very glad he was able to redeem hisself after that horrid absolutely unforgivable stint with Loll
Q: makes a funny remark on janeway beeing captain
mama bear: glazes with malicious intent
I love this character in any startrek series, he's hilarious
Q is big and strong.
This is actually from Season 2
Thank You
Voyager was Gilligan's Island in space. Janeway was Gilligan.
Janeways the skipper. Chakotay is Gilligan
Janeway & Q are soo siblings!
0:43. Intrigued by that expression. I always thought it was one of vulnerability, tinged with a fear she was about to become a target of this god-like creature.
This episode is where Q really changes as a being.
“Or have your women finally decided to do away with your men?” Like it’s the implied inevitable future lmfaooo
And to think. Q um that is our Q from TNG A will aparantly be facing his own DEATH decades later.... As we will see in season 2 of PICARD!!
HOW VERY WILDERNESS OF YOU
Even Q's charm cant make her worthwhile 😆😅🤣
I love delancy here, but also: Q who wants to die. Such a fucking good story.
Oh Marklar, what have you marklar this marklar?!?!
Q has a history of hanging out with Starfleet personnels over the past few years from Picard to Janeway and now, the Cerritos Crew and in the future, he would mock Picard again, now old and retired
How to get on with Q - play to his ego.
hehe...of all the things in the universe, Q is intrigued by facial art. Truly unpredictable
The "Is this a ship of the Valkyries?" line is now so insanely ironic considering how the newer Star Trek:Discovery has been ridiculed a bit for having large hallway scenes where its just nothing but woman and zero men to be seen.
Well, this year the incoming college class was 60% female in the US.
... more than one person was upset by that?
More than one person even noticed that?
I really wish Star Trek fans would stop fulfilling every single negative stereotype
"Is this a ship of the valkyries" And so on would be exactly what he would say if he appeared on the disco sucks ship
If you watch Star Trek as a woman, the damn thing's a sausage-fest despite people like Crusher insisting that things about misogynistic sexual biases haven't been considered true with Humans for a very long time. Even had to strain to remember such an age in our history.
I really hope we find a day when we stop seeing men and women and start seeing people and human beings.
@@birkinsmith88I hope not. As a man, I hope to never get to the point where one could look at a woman and not see one.
Lol I gotta watch this episode! Q is off the chain!
I wouldve loved an episode where we got to see Q (from ST:TNG) sparring verbally with 7 of 9!
Back when face tattoos looked unusual...
Wes Clark they still do
unusual? How so?
@@kaos2317 Exactly what the word means. They are not usual. Not something you see every day on a regular person.
When you go to the bank and the teller has a big ass face tattoo, that is when they are no longer unusual.
@@Elthenar ....your frame of reference is too Terran based, quite provincial. When you think on a galactic scale there are very few things "unusual"
@@kaos2317 we are talking real life here. Up until someone from another planet shows up with a facial tattoo and appears on the Joe Rogan podcast, it's the only frame of reference that matters.
Q could have snapped them back home at any time.
but he probably knew how important voyager was to the events of the delta quadrant
