DeLancie never disappoints. Man, his performance in this scene is absolutely stellar.
This TALENTED🥇 and INCREDIBLE🥇 actor may be the biggest reason why star trek got RESCUED📈💯
He is spectacular. Too bad DeLancie was wasted in this season as he was relegated to being left out of most episodes. Ah, Kurtzman Trek strikes again.
I think it was a tragedy we never got a Q based TNG movie. I think John de Lancie would have been awesome on the big screen.
Very nice, but WHY close the door on Q? Keep him around.
@@retiredusvet4396 For how long? He's retirement age, you should know.
Thank you Q. Thank you John de lancey for being an amazing actor playing an amazing character. I've literally watched this character all of my life.
aye...
Not going to lie. When he say "YOU matter to me." That made me tear up.
I know what you mean. But for a moment there I thought Q was gonna plant a gentle kiss on the top of Picard's head. Just sayin'.
@@ShaolinShadowStroke I imagine they removed that or they'd be heavily accused of queer-baiting. Paramount already took some flak from the Letterbet Soup Guild with all the teasing with Raffi and Seven.
@@SoranoGuardias I find that ironic, given that Sir Patrick has kissed other men on TV more than once (including Conan O'Brien). Given that he's married to a smoke-show who's almost half his age, I'm pretty sure the guy-on-guy smooches were nothing but platonic. What I can't figure out is why they pushed so hard for a Seven/Raffi kiss--particularly when no groundwork was really established for their relationship--but never gave us a Picard/Laris kiss despite how well-established their relationship was. I had at least hoped to see them kiss in the last episode, but all we got was them holding hands. In other words, we got "straight-baited." Either that, or the stars' spouses (both of them are married btw) didn't like the idea of them locking lips and so they decided not to do it out of respect for their wishes.
The only way they could have done that a little better was that they never showed Q putting his hands on Picard's face, he just approached and then in the next shot they were suddenly there but then I wouldn't have wanted to sacrifice seeing DeLancie's face, it needed slight choreographic adjustment to have carried both, but other than that, this is easily one of DeLancie's best deliveries and he managed to contrast all Q's extravagant and foolish behaviour with perhaps the only display of his earnest feelings perfectly ,whilst giving us the answer that Data worked out decades before, that Picard was Q's beloved pet!
im not crying, you're crying. *sniff* shut up....
In some ways this is quintessential Q. Despite him being a royal pain in the ass to Picard for all those years, he never had any true malice towards him. He just wanted his friend to be happy and in true Q form he did it by altering the timeline nearly destroying the federation.
I’ll never get tired of Q. Delancie is the greatest.
It's been pointed out that the one time he acted close to malicious by throwing them in the path of the borg, he only did so in response to Picard's pride getting the better of him and thinking humanity was ready for "anything" the universe had...Picard more or less admitted afterward that his ego had been checked by the experience. Q has always been a Loki, a duality to his nature both good and bad, almost all of his appearances in TNG at least have been in his effort to "teach" Picard on some level even though it's often meant turning his world upside down.
@@benjaminbierley2074 Even then the act of Q throwing Picard in the path of the Borg saved more lives than lost that day. The Borg had already been in Federation space when the outposts were attacked on both Federation and Romulan sides of the border (The Neutral Zone). Q throwing the Enterprise where he did gave the Federation a year to prepare in which it wouldn't have. Also the moment Picard asked for help there was no hesitation.
So... like a father sometimes employing tough love to help his son grow and other times just goofing around to embarrass his son but at no point ever showing an ounce of malice.
"As I leave, I leave you free."
For how old and wise Picard is, Q has always come across as a father figure to him to an extent. Their interactions always ending with a new perspective for Picard to contemplate or grow from with this whole encounter solidifying that. Except Q has had to learn from Picard this time. For someone who comes from what they consider the 'Q Continuum', the apparent end would come as a shock to even the supposed omnipotent and Q has used this lesson for Picard to learn to accept his own departure as well. John De Lancie has played this character perfectly and brilliantly. Considering how we know this series is being treated as a send off for Jean Luc, there would be no surprise it would have involved Q down the road. This season may not have been an amazing season, but De Lancie made every moment he was on screen so worthwhile and genuine.
I will miss Q he is one of those characters that any season would not be as good unless they show it is nice they brought him back in however I am still mad/sad he is going
When We Die, it doesn't Mean Everything Else Dies too. The Problem I have is, they are s Focused on Picard Loosing His "Privileged" and eventually His Life, that while they can't Abolish Star Fleet or The Federation for Obvious Reasons, they seem to want Picard The Series to be about the End of Everything and Picard the Character's Decay and eventual Death is Symbolied by Everything Else Dying that he Loves. I get that They Think this is beautiful, and I do not Judge Works based Purely on if I Agree with their Philosophy, and I have Read Soviet Science Fiction that was Wonderfully Written even if I Disagree with The Marxist-Leninist Philosophy that Underpins it, there is a Writers trap where You get so caught up in The Sybolism that You Ignore the Rationale. Q is a Father Figure true, but he is more like an Angel in Classical Theology or in Literature. As such, One can View Him as an Angel , or as a Kami from Japanese Works, or similar such in Asian Cultures, or as a god in Modern Conception. Though We tend to Mix Greek and Roman Mythology into Christian Ideas when we think of them. This is Why Militant Atheists make the Argument of Why not Zeus or Thor or Odin? It doesn't Work Logically even if You Think it just a Story since Christianity does not see God as the same Kind of Thing The Greek and Roman gods were. And it is not simply My god is Bigger than your god Arrogance. They aren't Described the same way. The difference would take too much Space to Explain. I Will if Asked, but the Point is, When You Die, God Endures, Angels Endure, and Nature Endures. Your Guardian Angel does not show up and Tell You He is Dying and Slap You in the Face for it.
Some Things are Constant.
Q is supposed to Be Constant.
This is a Ridiculous Turn of Events Conceptually.
@@skwills1629 I agree with every word you have said & yes I also thought Q was consent that one of the things that made his people so special
In my head canon as Q is spending his last moments a very old and tired Guinan who has seen all her friends pass, uses a temporal transporter to find Q and spend their final moments having a last drink together so they both don't die alone.
@@thanqualthehighseer - But again, How exactly is Q Dying?
"Even gods [..]"... Q truly is who he is, to his last finger snap. DeLancie , stellar performance. You deserve the applause sir.
First time I’ve felt something from this show besides disappointment. I thought Q and Picard’s last words were beautifully sad, especially thinking about how long ago TNG was, and feeling like everything from our childhood is fading away. TNG gets me though dark times, and it feels like a frozen in time moment, and here we see the final end of Q and those days.
Thank you John de Lancie.
It's definitely exception to this otherwise Abominable show.
The show has terrible writing and 7 out of 10 episodes felt like they weren’t even sci-fi. Upsetting and confusing badly-paced garbage - but although Q dying goes unexplained and makes little sense, the scene brought a tear to my eye too.
@@ah7910 it’s not done yet there’s season 3 too
Truth be told, I felt they were trying to dangle a chain or somesuch, "now Patrick Stewart and Jon DeLancie will hug and you will have no other option but to cry huge manly tears". But damnit, we had to. What a shitty build up tho for 2 seasons to actually get the real deal.
how id q alone he has a wife and kid. did he even say hi to janeway?
This scene, and the scene when Picard hugs Q. Made me tear up. Just like the speach in TNG all good things It hits a great sentiment. Q is my favorite character and I am glad to see the great meaning of their relationship was mentioned in the speach and Picard accepts Q as a friend.
You know, I can't say I've liked this series...at all, really. But this scene--this scene is phenomenal. Q, in his batshit crazy 5D chess way, literally turned the universe upside down purely to help someone he cared about understand his own value. Q helped a man that, once, helped him, when anyone in that same universe wouldn't have thought twice about letting Q suffer a gruesome (and well deserved) fate. Not Jean-Luc Picard, though, and I think that affected Q in much the same way that Picard getting shishkabobbed affected him; it gave him a clarity that he previously lacked.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really, really liked this.
(Also, I don't think Q is actually dying, in the strict sense. I think he is, in fact, 'moving on' to a different plane of existence that will, unfortunately, sever his ties to this one. Q is still Q, in this universe or the next.)
The shot of the light fading out near the galaxy cencer impliea the dead of Q
My biggest issue (amongst many, started well, then poorly paced, neutered the Borg - again) was simply not enough Q
Even Q himself seems rather confused by why he is dying. While death is not entirly unknown to the Q (considering one on Voyager was allowed to end his own existence, which resulted in a civil war among the Continuum killing other Q) natural death does seem to be a new concept to him.
I do love that after so many years of judging the entire human race, his final act was to just help the one man in all of existence that he ever considered to be a friend. And for that man to finally consider him a friend back.
Well, this turned out to be a lot more wholesome than I was expecting. Q's, "You matter to me," got me tearing up a little bit.
Q was always Picards teacher, whether he knew it or not or accepted it or not. Now he confesses his true feelings for him and in the next scene Picard hugs him reciprocating the sentiment. Very simple beautiful and true. Bravo!
He LOVES Picard! ❤
Thanks for reducing a grown man to tears 🙏 This was brilliantly acted
This scene pierced me to the heart.
@@Ahmathyah Mine too
Yes. Me too
This hits so hard. Thank you Q. Thank you John De Lancie!!!
Very hard!
For 30 years "Q" with all the games and the mischief with Picard, the most powerful being in the universe showed he had a hart for a friend. One of the best charters in the Star Trek universe.
I think most of his games were meant to teach Picard something
I am a newbie to star trek. But still had tears in my eyes during this scene. The conversation was beautiful. The connection between picard and Q was impactful since TNG . Thanks to the writers to not ruin it.
From the moment Q arrived in "Encounter from Farpoint", it was like he was gonna be Moriarty to Holmes, I'm so glad that Q recognises Picard as his friend and "favourite Mon Capitan".
OMG. I was balling my eyes out. I knew I would. He was one of my favorite characters. What a way to go out. "It matters to me". So much love in that statement.
My god, such a beautiful scene🥺
DeLancie really is a strong actor. Him, Steward, Frakes, and Spiner are extremely underrated, maybe not so much Steward but most definitely the other three. I am so fortunate to have seen these actors in Star Trek over the past 30+ years! Thank you Mr. Roddenberry, Terry Matalas, Akiva G. and A. Kurtzman. Many folks who wanted a glorified TNG show are not fans of Kurtzman, and the bandwagon thing to do is to pile on these folks, but you can never truly re-create a show like TNG 30 years after the fact, and Steward would not have agreed to do it had it been that way, so I look at it as we are lucky to have them back, and I am especially looking forward to season 3. However, it will be VERY difficult to know Sir Patrick Steward is heading off to the sunset as far as Jean-Luc Picard! Like it was in this scene, I am sure someone will be cutting onions in the kitchen when I see the end of season 3...
That scene so got me into my feelings watching it at 3am this morning! 😭😭😭😭. It was perfect! Sometimes the needs of the one is enough. So Star Trek. Another great season of Picard. This show has been so worth it.
I really like this, I think it was a good send-off for Q showing that even though he has been the antagonist he has a soft spot for Picard.
in tng he tells picard that in all of creation he is the closest thing he has to a friend, would of been nice to have used that line here.
@@dabblerdeluxe775 I was going to say the exact same thing.
It's super super dumb from a lore perspective, sold by great acting.
It takes one of the most interesting storylines we've seen in a sci-fi show, and reduces it to a soap opera. Q's can't die! He's moving on? Where to? What about the trial? I forgot, that's from TNG. This is the Patrick Stewart show.
@@BlazingOwnager Lore showing up and saying, "this was all my doing!" would make more sense.
Q has, always been my favorite antagonist. He was never evil, but he was challenging. This was a powerful and perfect ending to the story line that started in Encounter at Farpoint. It was one of the most satisfying story arc endings.
So glad Picard got over the trauma we never knew he had
And Q can die. We learn so much about established characters here.
@@terranman4702 Yeah wow I always wanted Picard to have massive childhood trauma and Q to die
@@pderham26 Well, they totally missed the opportunity to have a 30 minutes long Picard and Q sex scene.
No, it sort of fits his character. Picard has never had a long term romantic partner. He always pushes away, one his his greatest regrets was shows in Star trek generations (first film) of never having a family.
@@matthewcampbell7286 He hasn't. Doesn't mean he made a conscious effort to push folks away. He was a busy guy and pretty reserved. We didn't assume this was due to horrible childhood trauma because the show treated him like a human who could be reserved and distant without being mentally ill.
And nothing you said makes the retconned trauma any less forced or unnecessary.
This one hit hard 😢it got me. The mear fact that I watched this 30 years and saw how he interacted with him makes all the sense he sympathize and envy him, just how Picard he as so compassionate
In this and the departure scene, John DeLancie gives Emmy worthy performances.
This is human and this is very Star Trek, where Star Trek is always about human struggles be it at a social level or a very personal one. Wonderfully done in here.
❤️
This is one of the most powerful scenes in the whole of Star Trek. The acting is beyond brilliant, and the writing too. And it is not only emotionally moving, it's meaningful as well. Even for a god-like being being connected to something or someone else in the Universe matters. In our time of divide, cultural wars and information bubbles this message is more than important
Exactly... a very happy ending..😁👍💚💙💜
"most powerful scenes in the whole of Star Trek" uh huh sure thing buddy, you should watch literally any other Star Trek and it'll be better than S2 Picard.
That was fucking brilliant. I never saw it coming. What an absolutey stunning ending. The whole episode. I almost cried.
I did cry, for me personally it really hits home in so many ways
He's not dying in the sense that we know. He's ascending. He's not going to be able to interact with Picard anymore. At least not how he has been.
Isn't that how most people think of death, as an ascension from one state of being to another?
@@jamesgravil9162 If only that were true....
@@paulmichaelfreedman8334 - How do You Know its not?
@@jamesgravil9162 - Picard said He believed this in the Episode with Negilum.
@@skwills1629 How do you know it is? that is what science call unfalsifiable theories. Cannot be proven nor disproven.
looked like Q was gonna give Picard a kiss
A very meaningful moment. We all loved q through all the series, having been the lovable rogue. There’s something about the humans behind the roles getting old and time on them coming to an end which is released in this scene. I believed it and definitely got me in the feels.
Q is the ONLY reason this season is even tolerable…
Far from the only reason. It was excellent. Sorry it didn't match your head canon.
@@MrMac1138 At least my head canon RESPECTS canon…and Q.
I can’t even go that far, the writing just isn’t there. This should have never left FanFiction, it’s too contrived.
@@hashtagPoundsign That’s a fair statement; I was referring to the quality of characterization from Q each time he’s on screen. Everyone else is completely intolerable.
Shit, they still made more money then you on this.
Ya, boy did they ever pick the right actor to play a "God". I think Q knows that in Picard's lifetime he may never see him again "alive" in this reality as the next time they might meet (if thirty years is the timeline) will be in the afterlife (which interestingly enough they have met in before). Remember when Q granted Picard a wish to live a different reality as a passive man devoid of risk. Incredible acting there and an amazing lesson for us all. I did tear up a bit here. Q is trying to tell Picard that he cares about him as a "friend" and that even God needs connection. He leaves Picard with the greatest gift of all. "He tells him that he matters to him". What an amazing ending.
"I've always known I'll die alone." - The Final Frontier
These 2 minutes are the best of the entire 2 seasons
this was such a wonderful moment and a conclusion to their character arcs there is so much elegance when he says it doesnt need to involve saving the galaxy, each person has value and meaning
This episode is the best of any Star Trek shows since Next Generations. this Szene and the "hug" with Q was so emotional intense and mindblowing ... after 30 years through chaos they find emself and each other... I couldnt keep my tears back, remembering my father in this moment and all the years passed since. The timing of this episode is so perfect after all that happend in the last 2 years and just yet, we all should think about ourself, forgivness, reaching hand and burrieng old hostilities ...
Even the "borg" have changed, symbolizing and old foe in real life...
John de Lancie did it again, top notch acting, the true savior of the season.
This scene alone deserved a better written show
This actually made Me cry. The acting is amazing.
God...seeing these characters interact with each other again. It doesn't matter what their age is. Its like going back in time to my childhood again.
I got the pleasure to meet John de Lancie at a Fan Expo Convention in early April this year. I told him how my face, from 6 years old in the pilot premiere of TGN in 1987 lit up when both Q and Data appeared on scene and how my Dad hoped that, just for THAT smile alone, that both those characters stuck around for a long time. We lost Data (again) in Picard Season 1 and I knew by this small look that De Lancie gave me that we were about to lose Q as well.
Thank you for Q. Thank you for Data. For me, the two most human characters on the show. One alien species and one android. Q always got you to think on the bigger picture of what is more important. Data, well as I said I was 6 when the show first aired, so for me it was like a friend to grow up along side of with certain things. An android being the most human out of all the crew to me. Fighting for his own rights, choosing his own way to die. How he wanted to go out. Q like that sibling that always played tricks, but was also the one to always defend you. The one to try and keep you on the right path.
I have been a Q fan from the beginning. He is one of my favorite characters. I would like to think he survives somehow.
...damn...Patrick Stewart and John DeLancie have...such presence in just their voices...wow...
they should have added an open mouth kiss between Q and J.L in the end
…God, no.
kinda felt like they were headed that way for a sec
When I saw the trailer for the season... that's exactly what it felt like to me... like they were going to make q gay.... love of god.
This series is the worst... alex kurtzman and these writers need to be fired ...or even launched into space far far away from earth and star trek..... but I'll settle for just fired.
Hells yes
@@Time.and.Spoons No.
Out of all of the recurring guest stars, out of all of the Star Trek shows, past & present, Q has always been one of _my_ favorites. John De Lancie has given me so many fond memories. His scenes with Sir Patrick Stewart are always some of my favorites. A Star Trek universe without Q? Without this particular Q? Well, I hope this doesn't close the chapter on the Q Continuum forever. If it does, well, _All Good Things..._
Thank you, Gene Roddenberry for creating such wonderful characters. Thank you, John De Lancie for portraying one of the best characters in Star Trek and science fiction history.
These newer Trek shows get dumped on a lot by the very community that claims to love it. Not every show or movie is going to be perfect. Not every piece of entertainment will entertain the way you think it should. The Star Trek franchise has many flaws but it also has brought us many more wonderful gifts. _Picard_ may have not been perfect but to me, it is a very good show and I have enjoyed it and the characters and the stories. Maybe it's not the best but it's still worth watching in my opinion because one day there will be no more Star Trek shows and on that day, we all will have lost something truly special.
I hope that day doesn't appear in my lifetime. And I hope the same for all of you who are fans of the franchise.
You don't have to love every single second of every Star Trek show. Just try to appreciate it for what it is and if it has done anything for you, _anything_ at all, try not to forget those moments and remember, some newer generation of people out there are going to stumble upon one of these magnificent shows or movies one day and it may have a positive effect on them. Maybe it will change them in some way hopefully for the better. Maybe it'll be this show. Maybe it'll be this scene.
Remember, we have (almost assuredly) one final season of _Picard._ One more final season of the beloved TNG crew and the wonderful actors who portray them. They're all getting older and nothing lasts forever. Enjoy it while you can even if it doesn't always live up your standards.
I love your comment! Thank you very much 🖖
Picard S1: Permanently kills off Data.
Picard S2: Kills off Q.
At this rate, the OG cast are next.
actually i think picard is who they are killing off, well maybe not literally but they are giving him a formal good bye, giving him the house with a wife that kirk didn't get
Q is still alive if you watched the end of the episode
@@eoghanlacey6384 yeah but he says sending them back will kill him and he does. so he dead now. I was hoping he would just tag along with picard for season 3 but the crew is gone now so its just him and the TNG cast next season
Don't forget about Maddox, Hugh, Echieb, and Picard.
This is an android with Picard's memories that thinks it's the real thing, the same way that Soong's wife's android thought she was real in that one TNG episode. The real one died in S1.
What legacy characters will they magically make gay or kill off in season 3?
@@eoghanlacey6384 for now
This scene was prefect. This was real life. Some of us are caught up in one moment of our lives and we can’t move on from it. Prefect. Season 3 has a lot to live up to.
If DeLancie doesn't at least get nominated for an Emmy, let alone win, I will be thoroughly disappointed.
Q part was so well written and played...brilliant job.
The writing is garbage.
What a phenomenal end to Q's arc. It really did justice to his character and put all the previous Q episodes in a new light.
Even gods have favorites Jean-Luc… and you’ve always been one of mine.
"I have one last surprise in store"
*zipper noise*
"Open wide Jean Luc"
Hahahahaha!
You joke, but while I was watching it I really thought that was where they were going with it. I mean shit, if the Borg can be cuddly wuddly defenders of the galaxy care bears,.....anything is possible.
This is really in the top tier of all star trek scenes, ranks right up there with spocks death in wrath of khan.
This channel is Star trek pure juice, without additives. Thanks to you guys, I no longer don't have to loose my time looking, skipping boring scenes, scenes that I have seen 1000 times, all episodes, you do it for me. Believe it or not, it is just enough to follow the season. I need Star Trek boosts, but not at the point of looking all length long episodes. Ideally presenting main characters, context (pilot) the summarizing each episode in few minutes, would be perfect business model to me.
That scene is an absolute MASTERRPIECIE of acting. It will be long gone for anyone to play it like that.
they knocked it out of the park this week with picard and strange new worlds
Say what you like about the rest of the season, but this scene (and the one between Data and Picard in the finale to season 1) really hit home. A brilliant scene with brilliant writing performed by brilliant actors...More of this please
The problem with your request is one of giants. This scene is so powerful (i completely agree one of the best star trek scenes of all time) because of all the near perfect scenes from decades ago. The writers got it right by staying true to past content. Standing on the shoulders of giants. If they dont start writing content like the old days ie at a high level, we cant have any more of these scenes as there is no true emotion in what they are writing now, so nothing to feel sad about the ending of in another 30 years. This makes me sadder than any death of Q as I know I lived through the height of Star trek and they cant seem to get back there no matter how many times they try.
🤦 This whole Petard series is a psych therapy session for Jean-Luc and a death acceptance session for Q.
This is what made the whole season for me. This short interaction.
Unreal performance from de Lancie here, truly superb.
Are u surprised? He's only one who could humble Picard and have a human moment with Walter White while sipping a brewski. What range
Time is something that you wish you could reverse.
The things you see and the scars left on your soul.
We wish we could backtrack them all into the infinite cosmos of time.
Time echoes like a butterfly’s wings when we see things that change us as the people we once were, but will soon become, or grow into. If we reverse the time into our lives, we have to recognize the moments that we share with each other now are priceless, and if we take those moments in time and we appreciate them and love them and truly realize that when we look up at the night sky and see the stars as they are, those stars once were different stars, and we realize, in here, we become something new.
Secular blasphemy!!!
Its like mike had already seen this last episode. Or just that the rest of the season the writing has been just as awful as the finale.
Right down to the mention of butterflies.
I have never heard something so self descriptive as a "butterfly with it’s wings pinned"
I’m not crying. You are.
Just beautiful. DeLancie is a craftsman
I love it... how many year of q screwing with picard and picard being angry about it and in the end its all because picard is q's favourite
Q has always been like loki.. full of trickery but is so sad to see him go..
When he said "you matter to me," I was not expecting that at all. Just wow. What a great acting moment.
Say what you will about the show but those Q and Picard scenes are Pure Gold!
Guess writers forgot Q had a son in Voyager.......
And a wife. Stupid show.
lol if you think the writers ever watched more than two episodes of any series.
Writer's forgot about everything about star trek. Almost nothing in that show makes sense
Q aren’t like us they don’t have familiar attachment they just roam doing infinite things in infinite galaxies. This q just took an interest in humanity.
@@ciaranbrk The only comment here that is correct.
This was CLIMATIC... A True Ending to two character friends...the writing on this show is off the chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Excellent way for Q to go out and the ending of the episode - MARK IT 10+ especially with the Doctor being the new Borg Queen! OUCH.. work it Star Trek Picard
Even when there's bad writing, great actors can still deliver a beautiful scene.
With this and the final hug, I wept. I really did.
Q: "You matter to me"
Pity you weren't around when he died in season 1 mate.
I personally think that Qs orignal intentions could never have brought him to this point but over the span of 30 years Picard tought him more and more what it really was to be human, I feel that Q was only dieing because he was feeling these emotions for Picard and he did truly love him as a dear friend. No matter how bad this show got sometimes I do love that they didn't try to explain Qs dieing, they just had it be that way. Q has always been my favorite character in Star Trek and I love the John De Lancie got one last shot at playing him and this is by far the best way the character could have been sent off.
Q is absolutely the most fascinating character you could hope for. John De Lancie kills it in this appearance.
“It matters to me. You matter to me.” I love them.
Q and Picard were always my favourite
My brain just melted. In 2022. I thought there were no more things that could do that to me.
That's sweet. That despite Q being as he says akin to a god, he still addresses and treats Picard as his friend and reminds him that he is valuable on his own terms and for his own sake. And yes, as everyone else says, terrific performance by De lancie.
Masterclass in acting
I'm a wreck right now.
Once again, John de Lancie has done such a great job this season. It's some of his best work as the character. Watching that final embrace just got to me.
However, my questions remain...where is the Continuum? Why was there no explanation as to what, exactly, is happening to Q and if it's happening to the entire Continuum? Why is Q "moving on" alone? Does he not have a son anymore?
Maybe he and the missus are the Q equivalent of divorced and she took their son with her...
Some things are better left mysteries.
Remember the Q Continuum Civil War in Voyager?
@@Kajehart It didn't kill all of them. Plenty were still alive at the end of the episode. Further, Q returned with his son in "Q2" in Voyager's 7th season and there were members of the Continuum featured there, too.
@@annegolden3119 Did the episode ever show that the Civil War stopped? I don't remember. Yes, I remember Q's misbehaving son, but this show never mentions what happened to him.
"Even gods have favorites Jean-Luc. And you've always been one of mine"
Let's face it. Picard was Q's favorite.
Q puts Picard through Hell because he likes him. Seems legit…
Nearly every time Q puts Picard through Hell, there is a lesson to be learned by Picard.
It's a great scene, something I've rarely said about ST:P. I have this feeling that Janeway was another of Q's favorites. He talked about ending alone, which suggests to me that he was either banished from the Continuum again, or the other Q have followed Quinn's example and ended themselves.
Fluttershy was another of his favorites
I did not really enjoy this season, a lot of things didn't make sense and the pacing was off; but, thought the last episode was very good, particular the second half and it was a very fitting sendoff for Q. It was clear throughout TNG he always favored humans, particularly Picard, so his actions didn't not seem out of character at all. Seems a bit overboard to us to do all that to get Picard over his trauma, but who knows how Q's mind works.
Love to see DeLancie and Stewart doing Shakespeare; DeLancie has the perfect cadence and emotion.
Including the ones we've seen recently, that was truly "a finger snap" for the ages!
even with all the pacing issues and excessive stories trying to be told, this Q story was great. Between the writing & DeLancie's performance the Q send off was Perfect!
Q in the Multiverse of Madness
i cried the whole time
Wonderful, just an incredible scene. I've watched these two do this dance entire life, and to see them finally sit down and share something deeply important to each of them is just incredible. It's as if you just closed a book that you never wanted to end.
Why is Q dying alone? Did the writers forget that he has a son?
And a wife
We don’t know what’s been going on in the continuum. For all we know this is a result of something that’s impacting all of them. Plus we don’t know how close he is to either his son or his former partner
The Writers don't know half of what's happened in the setting, take the borg they keep saying that they would get a 400 year head start when there about 10k years too late, this new queen is going to run into the collective at some point, a collective that already has a Queen and docent care about feeling odds are she would be dissected to find out why there is a second queen all her knowledge taken and a cube sent to take over this Earth place that has caused then so much trouble in the future only this time there is no Enterprise and her crew to save the day.
Or that's what would happen if the writers knew what they where doing.
Yup! Sure did.
@@IDH2008 Thumb sucking LOL
Since trek went potty-mouth, I can’t believe they passed on the chance to say “shut the fuck up, Wesley!”
Like how they closed season 2. The conversation Q had with Picard showed us that Q isn't who we THOUGHT he was...
Does Q falling in LOVE yo Picard? OMG
Picard is not someone whom the solution can be handed. He must discover it on his own, and the more profound the discovery is, the deeper the intrigue must be that surrounds it. Q understands that, crafted this entire problem for Picard to solve.
Add to it that it created a redemption for the Borg, necessary to protect the galaxy.
Q was playing a long game here, at the "end".
He wanted to leave him, with memories of the best version of himself, in a persons that matters the most to him.(that what grandparents do to their grandchildren, to makeup for the mistakes they had with their parents(a do over).
Damn, the actor who plays Q looks better now, than he did in the original series. How is that even possible?
Wow, that was…
…heart wrenching! 🥹
