No natter what dialogue "Q" has to say, I'm hooked on every sentence. His presence on screen is always a pleasure to watch.
You should watch him play a devil in "The Librarians"
I think it's only because of de lancie that Q is able to keep us engaged with the charecter. If it was anybody else Q would seem like an impotent wimp lamenting his mortality but de lancie can make Q feel vicious and cold and yet heartachingly vulnerable all at once.
This is the closest Star Trek has gotten to Shakespeare. The way deLancie uses his voice echoes Kenneth Branagh playing King Lear or Macbeth. The man is HOT!!
The only reason I'm watching Picard is for John de Lancie. He turns bad material into something else.
They should cast that Young Sheldon kid, that would be funny.
brent spiner also had a nice moment this episode.
I love every part of this show, but especially DeLancy
John's performance of Q was second to none up until now, but he's now performing a Q that is more terrified than ever, almost to the point of insanity.
Yeah we never saw him powerless and afraid in TNG. Oh wait....
Q was always whimsical because it was all a game for the most part. Like a god that toys with mortals while having nothing really on the line except maybe their ego and pride.
What you see now is a human trying to come to terms with the unknown finality of their mortality.
@@CoyoteSeven In that case he was just looking to hide and had no clue what mortality meant until the end of that episode. In this one, he's plain unhinged about vanishing without a legacy (a concept he learned the first time he lost his powers).
@@forgtmnot27 Reciting qualities the writers decided the character has isn't insight nor is it an indication of quality.
Amazing talent abused by careless writers.
If only Q had a child to carry on his legacy… oh wait a minute!
We don't speak of that...
@@VeryDeathlyShiny We don't talk about Jr. No, no, no! We don't talk about Jr.....!
John de Lancie , I Sincerely believe, deserves an Emmy Nomination for his work on Picard Season 2. He is Brilliant as Always, but yet now even more so in a very nuanced performance. I very much Hope that he is Finally Recognized by his peers, along with Sir Patrick Stewart, who has been stunning in mining the depths of his character. Alas, Science Fiction Movies/ TV Shows have been notoriously overlooked come Nomination time. Hopefully not this time because Stewart and deLancie Definitely deserve it.
He deserves so much more recognition than he gets, and not just me being biased.
I had the privilege of meeting Mr. de Lancie in Roanoke VA a few years ago. He described his upbringing, his dyslexia, and what he brought to a role. I was amazed at how much he critiqued his own work, and wanted to give his very best performance to each project. When seeing this version of "Q", he conveys such emotion; fearful, yet callous. And still, he found a way to be sarcastic, classic "Q" in his delivery of " I'm trying vaporize you" line. So I agree, this one has Emmy written all over :)
@@mikep8442 I had no clue he had dyslexia. And yes, he brings light into every role he’s in.
He has some great lines too.
Thank You, Mike P. I Truly, Truly Do Hope that come EMMY Nomination time John de Lancie's peers give him Their Recognition that he so richly deserves( he already has ours,.the millions of Star Trek TNG fans ) who have enjoyed and admired his performance of "Q" for the past 30+ years. His final scenes with Patrick Stewart were some of the best acted yet Also Genuinely felt moments on contemporary TV/Streaming, all too brief, yet you could feel the love and respect these great actors have for each other!! I think it's wonderful you got to meet and talk with Mr. DeLancie and I also didn't know he had struggled with dyslexia. I have a brother who was diagnosed with dyslexia years ago and learned from him .
Good scene. Dramatic, revealing. Good acting from Guinan, great acting fromQ
I prefer to think of her as Diversity Quota, not Guinan.
@@O1OO1O1 haha!!!! I would honestly prefer to see Whoopi, even if she's booked to death, but this lady is ok
Predictable, unoriginal… the acting is fine but the writing is garbage tier
@@gicking3898 is "booked" a new term from Discovery?
@@BC08 it shows no understanding if physics.
1:31 - nice little Voyager nod - and kind of reveals what Q thought when Quinn was finally allowed to take his own life - and how he almost envied him
We know it already since Death Wish and Q story arc in VOY.
I might be wrong, but the whole plot seems straight forward. Q sees a darkness coming in the future, but he doesn't realize that he is causing the darkness by his actions. Somewhat like the Bootstrap Paradox.
Or Picard causing 3 tachyon beams in the future to destroy all existence going backwards through time.
@@Mastermind8908 Also very possible too, though that was a test by the continuum to see if Picard was up to the task. Its possible that "test" had other consciences that the continuum didn't foresee
.
@@StJohnGaming Q is getting a taste of his own medicine you might say.
Or it could be the precursor to The Burn…done by Robo Picard.
@@Mastermind8908 This could be the reason for the test. The event horizon is coming, and this is what the hope of Humanity surpassing that test was.
It's haunting and terrifying watching a being like Q descend into madness. Even in his current state, Q is still a very powerful being. He could do a lot of damage on his way out.
Years prior, Q was deprived of his powers and lived as a mortal... to which, Q couldn't come to terms with it. Even sleeping was frightening to Q.
And yet being deprived of powers was a lesson for his son (stvoy:7x18,q2)...has the continuim changed their mind about Q again?
luke j unless this is also happening to the rest of the Q as well, and they’re all in the continuum slowly fading away in their true forms… whereas this Q shifted into human form and found himself stuck in it, then rendered mortal with the fading of his powers?
Yes but q was being punished back then for his actions and he knew that. This time something terrible is happening to Q he doesnt know why and i dont think he has clearly explained if its just him or the entire continuum
"The trap is immaterial. It's the escape that counts."
I heard this when I was in the depths of my depression and nothing I was doing was working.
It was what I needed to reframe everything. It was like a handhold that appeared as I slid into the abyss.
That line became a mantra that slowly allowed me to reclaim my agency, my life and emerge into a new chapter of life.
Thank you, Q.
Noooooo they can't kill off Q. He is the single greatest character ever created for Star Trek.
John's not getting any younger, unfortunately. I'm sure they can get really, really close with recent innovations in CG animation (see: Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian), but when time catches up to John de Lancie, it will become incredibly hard/expensive to get the same performance.
And Paramount / CBS has shown us that they'd rather spend money on petty "who owns Trek" BS than the things Disney is doing.
I hate it. But suspected it since that failed snap episode 3. But you telling me the Q could not see this coming? Unless it’s a new thing something even they can’t fix.
LoL they brought Data back for a miserable death. They could kill Q as many times as they want.
@@MMuraseofSandvich agreed to a point. I understand that John isn't getting younger. But there's no need to kill his character off. They can simply have him end the trial and have him fade off into the Sunset. I am sure when the series is over they're not going to kill off Picard. And he's not getting any younger either.
well they ve killed picard and all of trek with thos disgrace of a show.
John de Lancie is always great. The writing hints at interesting things but the writers have not been able to deliver.
I love John De Lancie. That's why I'm going to pretend that his appearance on Picard never happened.
I would hope not the story is still being told. the hints are foreshadowing. so far the writing been pretty good for season 2, so I'm hopeful the payoff at the end will be good
Thoughts: Q is trying to redeem himself for something he did to Picard before he dies. He caused the Borg to know about the Human race... if you buy the theory that Star Trek: First Contact was the reason for 7 of 9's parents to study the Borg. So Q wants to make sure humanity services after he is gone. The only way to do that is to make the Borg friendly. To make them friendly, they need a human queen with enough strength to keep the Borg side in check. In comes Jurati. The queen on the Stargazer is Jurati after the time travel trip to the 21st century. She wants humanity to survive, and the Borg part wants the Borg to survive. The Borg know that humanity is very expensive to concur. So that little bit of humanity that Jurati injects into the collective makes them want to survive through alliance instead of domination. Q knows that humanity will be stronger with the alliance with the Borg. So he orchestrated this whole thing to make the one race that did more harm to humanity than any other, an ally. Just my theory.
Good theory!
Don't overthink it. The writers aren't as intelligent as you. That being said, yours's is a shit plot anyway.
He didn't cause the Borg to know about the human race, the Borg were already about to discover them. Q introduced them sooner so they could prepare.
If you think about it, Q actually saved the human race from the Borg.
If the continuum has told you once, they've told you a thousand times... DONT. PROVOKE. THE BORG...
@@Streeknine Correct.
1:26 is just absolutely beautiful acting and cinematography. As he delivers that dialogue and pans his head up, the light glimmers off his eyes reflecting that sense of wonder he is expecting in his monologue. Until he states that glimmer never showed itself and he pans his face downward allowing the shadow of his brow to extinguish the light.
I for one am intrigued by an "even the most powerful beings we've ever encountered have their limits" plot line.
The Q known as Quinn once told Tuvok that Q may seem omnipotent, but they very much have limitations.
Yeah never been done before lol
have you suffered a traumatic brain injury that you fine any of this garbage interesting?
Well good for you, there is a single episode of tng that does all this shit and managed to keep it under an hour, unlike this slog
That is all so deep, yet so stupid at the same time. The sad part is: de Lancie is really good at selling this mystery box.
@ℂ'𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕊𝕚 𝔹𝕠𝕟! because it's a useless dropping of words and concepts. It's not enough to just hint at things, drop some words like "meaning" and build up expectations. The whole writing for new Trek is based on the mystery box paradigm. The disappointment comes when you open up the box to find out that there is just a big t*rd in there. New Trek generally lacks a satisfying conclusion, so they open up a million plot threads and give you a million new mystery boxes to make you forget about what's actually in the box. New Trek goes full telenovela. The only thing they do well is optics and getting you excited for the next thing. In contrast, old (real) Trek used to be clever Sci-Fi.
Oh, and I really think that's a shame, because I totally dig the performances. De Lancie and Q, as well as the Borg queen, are so much fun. This could be epic and glorious if the overarching story wasn't so stupid.
@ℂ'𝕖𝕤𝕥 𝕊𝕚 𝔹𝕠𝕟! I'm not saying that Q is like he was in other series. But I guess I focus on different things when it comes to continuity. I am very open to having "my expectations subverted" if there is a satisfying explanation and pay-off that is consistent with the previously established in-universe logic. To put it in one simple comparison: I want more Agatha Christie and less TLJ.
@@luna-hw9li Your insight into new Trek and summations with respect to its writing are really excellently put. Especially for UA-cam comments (!)
@@luna-hw9li You quite literally have not finished it. Perhaps wait for the conclusion before judging the conclusion? The funniest part is I see multiple people supporting your brilliant analysis. Who knows maybe I am wrong to evaluate a shows ending after watching it.
@@luna-hw9li I agree that show’s pacing is slow and mystery box is a major issue with modern trek, but can you at least wait for the show to end first. Meaning and legacy are pretty big themes this season and this idea fits well enough with it. Also old trek was “sometimes” clever sci fi. The issue is with a season long show it’s more spread out so the bad ones are harder to forget now.
"Humans. They're all trapped in the past."
NGL, that one hurt Q. But, I can't help but agree with him. At least, when it comes to myself.
Ironic that the show is making swipes at humans being 'trapped in the past' when this show is about 90% fan service and they're bringing the whole band back together for the last season.
Who's to say all of this not the past for the Q?
Living with humans is pretty insufferable.
I see in this case, it takes one to know one.
We see that Q is trapped as well, and I suspect that in some way, his potential survival hinges on Picard’s ultimate success.
Not especially deep
Interesting the way Q talks about humans and the past, gives me thought about the Q being from the very distant future sound more likely and why this simply change was so much of a big deal, beacuse the Q may needed humans at a much later date.
Q is not really from any time..
Past, future. Such human concepts that don't even scrape the surface of omnipotence and immortality. The irony of finite time is not lost on Q.
I still have the personal theory that the Q were humans that evolved into a singularity and forgot that happened.
@@TheDoctorSorta that would not be that far off, the main thing is they have a link to humans, we simply are not sure as of what it is
@@TheDoctorSorta The Q being future humans makes sense as they share the same human flaws. Time obviously doesn't matter to being 'Q' as they exist in a high plane of existence and can will themselves anywhere. So even if humans involved into Q billions of years from now the Q can always technically exist at any point in time for trillions of years even.
"Time to come in now, Q. You'll grow up, Q, you'll understand."
He used the plural when referring to humans being trapped in the past. Fascinating…
1:26 Quinn would be proud. His greatest student finally experiencing what he so desired.
Didn't Star Trek *ALREADY* do the Q Mortality storyline on Voyager?!
The writers of this show dont know star trek. They dont understand how invested tng era fans are in the canon
"Humans, We're all trapped in the past" has deeper meaning then what Q is letting on, perhaps in what we face in our reality right now, we are gods trapped in the past experiencing what went wrong? Hmmm.
A dying Q. This kind of cheapens the Voyager episode with Gerritt Graham as a Q wanting to commit suicide.
Depends.
You are like correct. But if it's an external force (and not something natural) then it could be interesting. But if it is an external factor they would have needed to hint at that already.
All this to say, the answer will likely suck no matter what
A horribly convoluted and evil thought - What if something Q did prevents the Q Continuum from ever existing? Maybe this Q isn't the only one unravelling.
so I'm one of those people who's very unimpressed with Star Trek: Picard overall, but I always find myself enjoying all the scenes with Q in them. In many ways he's at his best here.
The show is so, so poor in so many ways when it could have been magnificent. But other than some of the lines sounding too scripted here, I think this was a good choice they made to explore Q like this.
That's the problem with modern cinema today. You see it in Star wars, star trek, boba fett, terminator. Take a well beloved character and story line, and butcher it to basically say "that's all in the past, time for the new girl on the block". And yes.. i mean that literally.
This scene was pitch perfect. I wish the rest of the show was this good.
I suppose that his condition is caused by changing the course of time. Same situation occured to Balthazar/Cole from Charmed. In latest seasons he obtained almost immortality, but was unhappy because he has lost Phoebe. And later he was approached by Avatars, who gave him more power. And he created an alternate reality. In the result he died
I really hope they are not using Charmed as a model for time travel. That series finale was like a study on how to get time travel wrong. They changed the rules multiple times once even in the same scene. I was not even upset I was truly blown away at how much effort they must have put into to fucking that up. Like no one accidentally describes time travel 20 different ways and some times follows some of the rules in one episodes it was truly a work of art.
Nice fanfic
@@RockBrentwood Thanos is coming
Even an episode of a show like Star Trek Picard can be saved by John de Lancie's performance as Q.
For any of the TNG Q&A novel readers, it makes you wonder if "Them" ruled against the "Q" and decided the "Q" should be mortal. "Them" were the only ones I remember being stated that stood above even the "Q". Either way, I hope we get an explanation before the finale.
I love how we hear fizzle sounds as he snaps his fingers lol
Just noticed that too.
you loved that? do you love keys being rattled in your face to and shiny things?
If Q dies, i'm going to riot... LIke no more Mariachi bands? no more fantasy women? The line must be drawn here. This far...no further!!!!
Remember, he does have few colleagues, an ex, and a son. Our Q may not be around, but there is always someone in the Continuum to take his place.
“She wins we’re all trapped” - the Borg queen?
It's the escape that counts. Humans, they're all trapped in the past. Ok, Picard, time to pull a Houdini!
I will admit every time you enters the scene it's an exciting thing to see I wish you would get a part in a marvel or DC movie or heck I would settle for a horror movie he's such a great underrated actor
Jurati - "I literally held your books between my legs in college, daddy." Soong - "OK?"
Oh wow, I need to watch this series after all.
promises so much yet delivers so little.
If this scene had appeared on TNG it would be treated as a great classic. The writing ang acting is good.
So on the one hand I'm thinking oh great they weren't happy with character assassination now their killing off Q too (as you can probably tell I'm not really a fan of the current direction of Trek) but if done right this story could be extremely interesting (the death of a Q not the rest of it), the problem is that ""done right"" part as I just don't trust the current team working on trek.
I don't think Q is really dying. I think Q shows up in Lower Decks, which is chronologically after Picard. So, I think he's going to live. I believe it's already been established that Q can't die. They just continue forever. They must choose to die... and for that they have to be made mortal by the Q Continuum, which are very reluctant to let anyone of their species die.
Could be worse, could be like Discovery... Too much crying, lots of action, not enough science... Kinda like a soap set in space using the Trek name... Very annoyig tbf
Isn’t this the kind of monologue that Picard used to get on TNG? Now they’ve given it to John de Lancie.
Also: Since Picard is stealing…or, fine, let’s call this “borrowing”…from things, who is to say that the writers for Picard aren’t going to “borrow” from Doctor Who and regenerate Q to recast the character, just like Guinan got recast? Because Q’s little monologue reminds me of pretty much every Doctor in NuWho as they get closer and closer to their regeneration. They talk as if they’re dying, and they’re scared, but whoops-they regenerate and they get to start over, with a passing memory of who they’ve been.
If they kill off Q or replace John de Lancie with a different younger actor the that will be Franchise suicide. No one other than de Lancie can play Q. Maybe you can have other Qs but no one can play the original like he can.
Picard series has major flaws but De Lancies acting is great and the dialogue is good.
what are the flaws?
@@kanton4108 the limited episode doesn't allow for the space for the expositional dialogue and action to co-exist without sacrifices. Everything is rushed
Yes q acting is on point made me think I was Watching the old star trek again
They always give De Lancie the great lines. Even now, we wait with every appearance with bated breath.
@@calhoun24 yep he is the highlight of the show, to bad he has had like 2 small spots so far.
This is the only reason I’m watching Picard. John de Lancie
Wow.... this is awesome!
The constant struggle between the mortal ego & the (not so)immortal Soul. "Even the gods eventually die." -- The Vedas
Q once help another Q conclude his lifetime. I would expect him to be going about this better.
Brilliant acting!
DeLanci is doing amazing work here even with very mediocre writing. Sad the writers seem to have forgotten his first appearance on VOYAGER.
Look at it this way: Q helped Quinn achieve his goal of dying on his own terms, the Q killed each other in that silly civil war storyline. But this is Q facing a slow, involuntary mortal death, which I read here as being completely alien to him.
Should get a better casting agent 😀😀😀😀😀😀
And they forgot that 2024 Guinan ought to remember and know Picard from their meeting in 1895(?).
Idt t present writers know or give a shit about the 50 or so years of established Trek history.
@@paulbabcock2428 it should be 2022 Goldberg acting up a storm with D.
@@ffnbbq but he’s been mortal before.
"We are all trapped in the past!"
That is why we must let go of the past and move forward ...but if we can fix things its CALLED DEJAVU...
Continuity error in this episode. That Vulcan would not have attempted a mindmeld with the young boy, because that was before the events of Enterprise when Vulcans began to accept the practice of the mindmeld. Previously those who practiced it were considered outcasts, like a sort of persecuted minority religion or something.
Why do you think the guy was on Earth anyway? OUTCAST!
Q is the only reason this show matters anymore.
I thought the scene with Rafael flash back to the vulcan boy was a waste of scene time.
Well thanks, Janeway!
An omnipotent immortal suddenly "dying"...man this production team leaves no stone unturned huh?
What do you mean? Check ancient myths, pagan religions, In thoose Gods are all powrfull and yet they die, It is snake eating its own tail.
Wait, we've seen Q face his mortality before on TNG when he was turned human. It was a whole episode. Did he forget?
I guess he was dying as a human then, and it was wasn't as weird because humans die. Q don't, so dying as a Q is concerning.
Then he was forced to become a "mere mortal" by others. It was a punishment. Now there is no outside cause he can blame, no "lesser being" he's stuck in. He is himself as he's always been, a state he always saw as untouchable. But even while he should theoretically be in possession of his full near limitless power, he's dying. For no apparent reason.
It's being put on death row vs. seeing yourself waste away slowly from sickness...
No, it was simply a punishment from the continuum before. I think whatever Q did to the timeline made it so that the Q simply don’t exist anymore (or don’t have the power that they formerly did). No Q are there to restore his powers for him when his behavior is good.
@@SKy_the_Thunder Outside cause? What is this nonsense?
@@pderham26 As in, caused by something or someone outside of himself. Like being banished via the power of other Q.
I opened up UA-cam this morning and yours is the first video. Thanks for the title 🤦🏼♂️ (might want to change that)
This makes no sense. They’re killing off one of the founding characters of the TNG era for what? The stupidity of this modern Trek knows no bounds.
How does it make no sense? Do you know why he's dying? Do you know the end results?
No. Simple as.
@@Aldaris1234567 The Q are omnipotent. Any TNG fan knows this. And no, the Continuum hasn't taken his powers away. That's not in this storyline. The whole thing is straight trash.
@@gnryushi You didn't answer any of the questions.
@@Aldaris1234567 Not obligated to. Watch all 175 episodes of TNG then come back and talk.
@@gnryushi Then your comment is literally irrelevant if you cannot answer the storyline plot. You don't know. You're just assuming.
I watched them when they originally aired. You do realise that, you know, things can change?
I'm still crying over this scene.
What a great performance. My fan theory didn't pan out but I'm hoping we will get our answers soon. Picard's commitment phobia translating into a galaxywide timeline change seems very drastic. I just saw part of "All Good Things" yesterday and am wondering if we are seeing another paradox.
Nevertheless, John de Lancie is giving one of his best turns as Q. I genuinely care about Q's life having meaning. I just rather wish the writers would remember he had a son. They remember so many other things...it seems weird this kind of big thing would be ignored.
Yes, Q had a significant story arc on VOYAGER -- arguably a more personal one than his arc on TNG. The Q of Voyager had a family.
Are you saying, because he wouldn't boff the pretty housekeeper in France...you get Nazis as the default mode.
Maybe the two seasons are all a dream and he wakes up in bed with her Newhart style. Cue the laugh track.
It's no less stupid than Discovery season 3.
@@STho205 It had occurred to me at first that Laris might have taken it badly, especially since she left pretty quickly after that. When we found out that Tallinn was a Watcher (and clearly has some connection to Laris), it seemed that, maybe Laris decided to eliminate her connection to the Picard family so she wouldn't suffer the pain of falling in love only to be rejected.
Otherwise, what else happened in the first episode to cause the timeline change? Picard had a heart-to-heart with Guinan about his failure to attach himself and he went on the mission that ended with the Borg.
Q told him when he first appeared that Picard had been talking a lot about second chances, as though that was the impetus for this whole thing.
At least, the Laris theory made sense with what we know happened in episode 1.
@@annegolden3119 you know the last episode of TNG was A Christmas Carol. All a Q dream. Complete down to "Crewman! Crewman....what day is this."
My wife riffs these shows MS3K style and blurted out "Why it's Christmas Day captain"
Nobody dies in the Star Trek Multiverse...
Dying? Disappear, vanish, fade... depends how you look at not being able to exist anymore.
And of course, John de Lancie ought to be nominated for an Emmy in his current role.
- Do they ever bring up his kid from voyager? It seems like if he was dying he would be keen to include Jr in his last days :(
Is it merely "Q" that is dying or is the whole Q Continuum dying as well?
Good question!
In truth, I'm not convinced Q is actually dying, or at least death as we mortals would perceive. There are a lot of escape corridors the writers could employ.
he is an old man after all
really great scene
This reminds me alot of the movie Arrival , where the aliens experienced the past/present/future at the same time. An Omnipotent being would experience this as well , or at least that's the way we've designed many of our recent gods.
John DeLancie can make anything sound good
They said they had some dealings long ago
a couple of centuries which would be a bit later than this
*quoted from "Q Who":
Guinan: "We've had some dealings before"
Q: "Those dealings were two centuries ago"
So TNG took place in the 24th century so by that logic those "dealings" were around the 22nd century
I thought this X Files re reboot was a bit dull. No Scully.
Guinan is now a voodoo woman that drinks potions and speaks incantations to make "The Summoning"
Q is obviously waiting for his next regeneration into the 15th Doctor. Maybe this one is female.
Six is running around LA in her red dress. There are recycled elements of Fringe.
All we need now is Dr Daniel Jackson and the Stargate or G'Kar to make this 35 year SyFy reunion complete.
Best part of this episode was the closing credits.
Q is dying due to having an offspring. He passed on some energy. Now terrified, if he made it like that time line never existed he may survive.
We’ve seen other Q die. But I guess we aren’t mentioning the civil conflicts of the Qontinuum.
Q is the only reason I decided to give season 2 a shot. When he dies it is at a end for me
De lancie should be given so much more work on bigger platforms
There comes a time when even gods must die.
DeLancie just about carries this show.
De Lancie has already said he's also shot scenes for season 3...they really don't even bother avoiding spoilers do they?
Since that first failed snap and the comment in Discovery that they had not had any encounter with the Q for 600 years. I am wondering what happened. I cant say I like it.
Discovery is set in the 32nd Century. No encounters with the Q in 600 years place their last appearance somewhere in the 26th Century. Picard is set right at the start of the 25th Century; so even barring the death of John deLancie's Q, we know the Continuum continues to exist for at least 100 years - maybe even 200.
It's possible that, for some reason, the entire Continuum is going through a process of deterioration or destruction, but the process is protracted and takes nearly 2 centuries to complete. We may be seeing the start of that here.
Also remember: a couple of hundred years is trivial to a race who were formally immortal. And while 200 years seems like plenty enough time for a race like the Q to figure-out and reverse what is going on, they don't appear to want to. The idea of death is attractive to them. They're just bored.
However, wouldn't it be poetic for the El Aurians like Guinan to be the ones to essentially "save" the Q? Not that the Q would appreciate it, of course.
@@unclepobatti8996 It was theory. I don’t think this show is contractually allowed to make sweeping changes like this. Also Q will be in the final season of Picard. Maybe as a flashback but who knows.
They killed off Picard, now they are gonna kill off Q? Maybe they can make him a new body too. hahaahaha What a joke.
What about the continuum? why are they not doing something ? Where is Qjr?
It's talentless badly written garbage by "the message" crowd. The same group of people who do everything now. All shows, videogames, comic books and so on are going to be like this
I'll see when it come to My vid game movie section
what happens when CBS runs out of old characters to bring back for nostalgia points? They proven they cant write a good story time and time again.
Holy shit. It's OG Q. Star Trek: The Next Generation was the first time I ever watch Star Trek. Sorry William yours was just not my speed.
And it was the best Star Trek crew ever.
That scene is the only bit of Picard I’ve found entertaining. It’s probably because de Lancie is an amazing actor and Q was his favourite character tho. Unlike Stewart who never seemed to like Picard… I mean, that dune buggie joy ride scene showed no understanding of Picard. That scene was all Stewart’s doing… He should of never been given creative control.
Now that they've made the Q genies.......
I thought I'd never see the day where a Q would die naturally!! We've seen the episode from Voyager where a Q was granted mortality and then killed himself
This is very unusual. I'm not sure what to think, but DeLance has done a great job as Q! He is one of my favorite Star Trek characters......like Top 5
We’ve referenced or seen Qs die before, either by execution (Amanda’s parents) or by their own hand (their own Civil War). They may be seemingly immortal and incredibly powerful, but they have shown that they do have their limits, or they have exaggerated or exceeded such ageless possibilities in their own way.
@@calhoun24 True, but it's just odd though isn't it?!?!?!
They've been toying with mortals for who knows how long............and now they have their own mortality that makes them no better than us lol
I thought there was something wrong with Q SO2 Ep01, and I was certain of it by the time of his none clicking scene, one my guesses was that the Q was Dyeing, :(
*dying
@@Tao_Tology Yeah yeah yeah I got the spelling wrong big deal :P

@@Tao_Tology then why pick up on the miss spelling in the first place??

"The escape is what counts" Maybe the peaceful Federation we know is from an altered timeline. Maybe the original timeline is the one we saw earlier in this season; one bent on conquest. It's Q's manipulations in forcing Picard to the past that brings forth the pacifist Federation we know and love.
Q did mention that Picard was at the "end of the road not taken", and when he said it we were in the "normal" timeline, so you may be on to something.
Maybe Q is transforming into a Higher being than Q. But doesn’t know it yet
If anything this reveals Q is on our side but we still don't know wtf is going on!
So they are saying thats why guinan hates q back on the enterprise because she somehow knows all this is going to happen and they are some how going to make picard forget all of this maybe when he gets back to his original timeline cause if she just hated them for that truce why would she even aummon them... Its gotta be that exact q and something that happens ... At least thats how they are trying to retcon it i think
when they blew up the stargazer, they were moved by Q to a timelime where the continuum never formed.
also could be the borg queen in a causality loop, when we see her asking for power before the stargazer blows up is actually after she assimilated the Q? ... the queen needed more power to complete the loop. Q almost kills himself trying to get them back in time to prevent the causality loop from happening. she needs more power to assimilate all of time/ Q continuum.
Conjecture, fun
The Q are like 1000 times more powerful than the Borg. If humans are pigeons, then the Borg are like tigers in comparison. But the Q are like Godzilla.
How could tigers assimilate the King of the monsters?
You understand?
John de Lancie Q what a Character....
RW:damn,if theres anybrony out there please i wish to see this piece of clip to be reanimated into a MLPFIM style either 2D or 3D animation will suffice ,cause its been already 2 to 3 years since MLPFIM has ended back in 2019 and just seeing this little clip i just envisioned Zecora talking to Discord about Twilight Sparkle and her friends being trapped in the Past in this scene but man it feels so good to see the Legendary VA and Actor John De Lancy acting again.😁(i miss them so much.😔😭)
Maybe he’s becoming R
And Z (Zed) would be the final evolutionary stage. By then he might be running the MiB headquarters in an alternate reality. 😁
Where’s my boy captain sisqo ?
Question did they just make Carbon Creek canon as the first time the Vulcans were on Earth and actual first contact not just a story
As far as Humanity is concerned, and probably most of Vulcan, is concerned, First Contact happened in Bozeman, Montana exactly as portrayed. The fact that there was at least one Vulcan bebopping around Coal Country over a century before means little since he was one dude just trying to survive.
@@lorzon T'Pol did state it was recorded at the Vulcan science directorate so if true then this did happen. Just never acknowledged until now in Trek canon.
There's official first contact, and then there's individuals messing with things they shouldn't. There's plenty of canonically confirmed instances where aliens spent some time on earth way before they were officially first encountered. Some random visit from Vulcans - either by accident or to study some random primitive species they found nearby - is not surprising. They just didn't care much about them until they proved to be warp capable.
You know I read a book when I was young called Q Continiuum. In that book an old enemy of the Q Continiuum named 0 comes back. This 0 as many fans who read the books may remember was sealed outside the Galaxy by the barrier or the second barrier of 2. One being a smaller barrier that was set up like a gate around the center of the galaxy that held the floating head being which some have named False God from Star Trek 5 where Kirk and his crew faced it. That being along with 2 others from Kirks day as Captain and had previously faced were allies of this 0. Q had met 0 long ago and this 0 was as powerful as a Q or as powerful as the Q Continiuum almost. I cannot fully remember but I do remember Q convinced the Contiuum to let 0 use the road to traverses our Universe. In the end 0 found his way back though I cannot remember exactly how but Picard and his crew were involved. It spoke of the war between 0 and these other 3 with the Contiuum. 2 were killed and the other was so beaten up that only his head remained and that was sealed on a world close to the center of the galaxy and a barrier was put up. During the fight with this 0 it was said that 0 hurled an asteroid at Q's wife and Q snapped it away and it appeared over Earth and slammed into it killing the Dinosaurs. It is said that the Continiuum made Q responsible for watching over Earth from then on because this 0 mess was his fault and his actions caused this event. Which was to explain why Q had such key role in dealing with Humans so much. I doubt they would turn Picard Season 3 into a version of the book Q Contiuum but with this new transwarp conduit being made just as Q himself apparently died may some how be tied with the great barrier coming down or a hole being formed within it by Q's death or allowing 0 to make this hole now that Q is dead. Such a grand cosmic event playing out that the Borg got involved might be a hopefull story that Q Continuum is being made into Picard Season 3 specially since both series were filmed almost side by side and Q was such a figure in the second Season. Setting up other big players like Sonji as the Traveller and bringing in Guinan more for Season 3. To also make it an even huger event it could even bring back Captain Kirk in some way due to the tie in that he has faced the False God being from the Star Trek 5 Movie. I mean how epic would that be to grant William Shatner who has expressed extreme interest in playing Kirk 1 more time before he dies to come back and team up with Picard doing another call back to the TNG Movies. The second Season of Picard was like a love song to First Contact and this 3rd Season could be a long song to TNG Movie Generations which saw Picard and Kirk team up there. I think it would be a good way to maybe bring Q back even if it is briefly to face this 0 again as well as bringing in his wife and son. I mean I am a bit upset that they never answered where the Borg came from but maybe they can do this now with the 3rd Season of Picard seeing the Borg are now a part of the Federation. It would also open up an opertunity to perhaps tie in another book Q Squared where it is revealed Q known as Trelane from TOS who is actually a Q who was once like TNG Q who caused chaos and interference with lower life forms and so was punished and locked away on the planet Gothos and 2 Q became his guardians and ended up being more like Parents to him. Q also stopped calling himself Q and chose the name Trelane like when VOY Q named himself Quinn. They have been calling back TOS series most famous episodes like the story of Kahn and Pykes story that it would be nice if they called back The Squire Of Gothos which was one of the most popular stories of TOS. That too could be a way to bring Kirk back into the picture. Anyways it was just a thought be it a far fetched one from myself being so Biased with wanting Trelane brought back and put in movie form as well as the Q Continium and Q Sqaured books which are my favorite 2 out of the books they wrote.
Well wow, I dont know much about Q continuum so this was a great read.
Whatever change Q has made, has caused his loss of powers, and the darkness he can see coming. Something is happening that he himself caused, and he has yet to connect it. I don't want to see the Q die, but I want them to finally find something that ignites them to be something more, to understand that they themselves are not as all knowing, and all powerful as they thought, and they will owe (if not all of humanity) then simply Picard for righting a wrong that should have never happened, and literally saving the continuum from a self made destruction.
LOVE this season!
Have you seen TNG?
Hahahaha realy ? So this is your first Star Trek Series ?
Me too! It's the best Trek since the end of DS9! Far better than the movies or Enterprise.
@@O1OO1O1 He is talking about THIS season. TNG was on in the 80s and 90s. Did you know this?
@@nextlevelenglish5858 I mean what I write.
Can you explain how Picard is better than Enterprise, with your NeXt LeVel English?
When Q says. Humans there trapped in the past
I think learn from the past. But look to the Future. Make it better 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
