Ep.2.24: "It Had To Be Q!" with John de Lancie
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Season 2, episode 24 is here and THE TRIAL NEVER ENDS! We have a God in our midst! Connor, Erica, and Mark have an awesome conversation with Star Trek's Iconic, Godlike Judge & Jury - "Q" - John de Lancie.
Dominic Keating is off this week - he is driving across this great country in a car. Something everyone should do - travel safe Dom! (We actually suspect Q snapped his fingers and BLAM! Dominic has to drive back to LA.)
John de Lancie talks about life, career, Star Trek, and Days of our Lives. Gene Roddenberry. Sailing. Breaking Bad. Performing for art, performing for commerce. Overcoming learning disability. Theater. And more.
We get some fan questions in, but for time, were unable to play a round of Star Trek Trivia, nor subject John to being "Stuck on a Deserted Island with Connor Trinneer.” Wah, wah. Both will be back.

My favorite Q line is when he looks at Worf and asks, 'Ate any good books lately?'
My favorite ist from the Game: Star Trek Borg. Chosen the wrong Tuboliftdeck, you look left, right, then you hear the snip and left is q with 2 hot chicks around him. The captain brings him a Cocktail. Q took you back in the lift and say: "Why, because i can!!! Muuuuaaaahahaha". He is a great actor!!
ua-cam.com/video/hi2HO5e_oeM/v-deo.html
Micro brain! 😂
Heh. Just watched that episode recently. I laughed again.
"The anomaly, my ship, my crew... I suppose you're worried about your FISH, too."
I like that cute 3rd Boom Mic Operator named Erica , 😍👍 hey you actually have StarTrek actors on your show , ,I see Garak and Q , the encouragable , epic "JOHN De Lancie" , , loved the happy Q with the Mariachi band on the bridge of the 1701-D scene , , and of course Sheriff of Nottingham Q , ,should be required viewing , , , 😋😋👍👍
ANYONE EXPERIENCING AUDIO SYNC ISSUE- WE KNOW WHAT IT IS (A UA-cam TOOL) AND IT IS BEING FIXED!! IT WILL TAKE A FEW HOURS FROM 3:40PM PACIFIC TO RESET. FOGIVE THE TECHNICAL MISHAP.
A FEW NOTES: 1. DOMINIC IS NOT WITH US FOR THIS EPISODE, HE IS TRAVELING ACROSS AMERICA IN A CAR; 2. FOR TIME REASONS, WE HAD TO SKIP TRIVIA AND CONNOR'S ISLAND (HAD LIMITED TIME IN THE SPACE WE SHOT); 3. HAD SOME TECHNICAL ISSUES DUE TO CHANGES MADE THIS WEEK... WE GOT 4K AND NO INTERLACING, BUT WE GOT AUTO FOCUS ISSUES AND A LESSON IN A NEW POST PRODUCTION WORKFLOW... THE CREDITS SUFFERED, BUT JOHN IS AMAZING, SO THAT DOESN'T MATTER. THANK YOU! LOVE YOU ALL!
i could listen to this on podcast The video is just an extra cherry of epic times on top!
Oh technology, how fun when it doesn't work😂
All good just having the audio is good enough.
TY for taking the time to let us know. 🙏🙏🙏 For a safe trip for DOMINIC.
Understood see you soon Dom take care
The story how he got into acting is very moving. It just goes to show how a kind word can change someone’s life.
I love seeing Connor cuddle the plushie during these episodes. It's so disarming. We love John DeLancey.. one of your best interviews!
I think it's inspirational to hear john speak of his problems in school Because it happens to so many who think that they're all alone. Thank you so much john for being so open and honest.
I did not have dyslexia, but I did , and still do have nearly terminal ADHD.
John’s experience at Kent State was amazing and something I had never heard before. I am a child of that time, I was 10 in 1970 and Kent State was a foundational experience for young people at that time. His BRASS BALLS and self possession at going to his senator and the White House was incredible! He is even more impressive as a person than I ever knew and I have always been impressed with him.
The DeLancie part of that story is valid. Here is another side: the Kent State mess was a symptom of massive upheavals. My question for the young demonstrators/occupiers would be: Why was it proper to take over the campus, burn the ROTC building and disrupt things to the point that the townies demanded an end of it befire the riot spilled off campus. The Mayor requested state help. I am a VietNam Veteran. Bluntly put, the occupation and destruction of state and federal property are still potentially felonies by state and federal law.
Your point is valid. We allow race and gender based upheveal but punish any other kind. Because of slavery and the patriarchy. Lets forget that Bill gates just made more money than most of the people in the world in the time it took mw Io type this sentence.
@@stanleyarmstrong2898 Well, NO ONE was listening and while I abhor vandalism and violence, a protest that does not anger or inconvenience anyone is pretty much useless. But the fault that day CLEARLY fell on the idiot "guardsman" that fired the first shot.
John is always a class act. Great to see him on the show. 🎩
The statement he made about the recent loss of honesty in our country and the world, solidifies him as a class act.
I could not agree with him more and admire his candor on that subject... if only he really had the powers of the Q.
His enchanting voice makes you want to listen to him for centuries, no matter the subject ...
The mariachi band is a great one and makes me laugh every time I watch it! Giving Data the ability to experience what being able to laugh is like ! I always looked forward to seeing what Q had in store for the Enterprise crew ! And Voyager crew ,Katie . The TRAVELER and coming in contact with the Borg the first time. Never a dull moment with the Q !! Thank you!
In the 1930's Leopold Stokowski was the foremost expert in orchestrating for stereophonic recordings and in 1938 he arranged for a demonstration for the studio heads. Bell telephone company transmitted the sound to all of the studio heads who listened via the most advanced two channel amplifiers at the time. Only Disney saw the value.
Crazy to hear he is only in 9 episodes. Such an amazing actor! I could watch another 3 hours of this :) This was SO GOOD!
Yeah, right? This is like Nicholson being on screen for just 28 min in A Few Good Men or Anthony Hopkins being in Silence of the Lambs for 16 minutes. The impact de Lancie had as Q in just a handful of TNG episodes is absolutely bonkers.
He was in 8 episodes of TNG, 1 DS9, 3 Voyager, 9 episodes of Picard and 1 Lower Decks.
@@nickryan4126 Yeah, I remember those episodes, too (like the one in DS9 where he likes Sisko b/c he can provoke him unlike Picard or how Q saved one of Riker's ancestors which made Will's existence possible in VOY, etc) and, of course, the most recent stuff with Picard, but it gives you a ballpark # to work w/ to see just how little de Lancie was in all of Trek while leaving a mammoth footprint.
@@nickryan4126 And Star Trek Borg, which was basically an interactive TV episode of a PC game.
@@iiiiiifggffggffgfgfg I've never heard anyone else mentioned that game, I used to have it when I was a kid, I vividly remember having to switch the frequency of the phaser to get past the Borg shield, I thought that was just the coolest thing ever back then
What a delight to see John de Lancie telling his own take about his story and background. As with previous guests, he too had his ups and downs in life. And in fact, being myself a half-retired thespian and stage director, this seems only to be human and ties us all up in a kind of Merry Men of the performing arts. One thing is for sure: the gentleman knows how tell stories, and he tells them quite well. Thank you so much for sharing this conversation with us. It was a blast!
I’m struck by John’s humility, which is so opposite to Q’s character. One of my new favourite episodes!
Although John is very *naughty* and comical so theres definately some of him in Q.
@@shayneoneill1506 Oh, no doubt! I didn’t quite know how to express that at the same time, thanks for pointing it out.
Really? I thought the complete opposite to be honest.
Did John not watch the diner episode of "Sandman"???
ive heard other actors talk about him and how he's behind-the-scenes a very interesting guy. It really shows in this episode that he's the real deal!
Erica is truly the heart and soul of this show. Every time she appears on screen, I can't help but admire her stunning outfits and how effortlessly she carries herself.
Much appreciation to Mark for thanking John on behalf of the fan base, I would love to be able to do that personally.
I have to say, John killed it! This is my favorite episode of the Shuttle Pod Show!
Wow, how often do we have the opportunity to see and hear the magnetic John De Lancie speak so candidly, gregariously, at length, in an intimate, convivial setting? Actually do we even get one of those per lifetime? 😅 A relaxed almost reverent calm - I was *in it*. John De Lancie - what a treat! Effortlessly commanding attention, never seeking it. Disarming emotional honesty. Presence with substance, wrapped around a kind, thoughtful soul. ❤ Thank you John, and thank you to everyone at Shuttlepod not only for another quality episode, but for everything you do to bring us such exceptional content. 😊🖖
Is it just me, or is the video and audio out of sync?
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
@@ShuttlepodShow Anytime! Great to get to hear some history from the man that lived it. John de Lancie was a great guest. 👍🏻
I loved the episode when piloted a plane and pretended to cause a mid-air collusion because his "daughter" died.
Classic Q.
You're almost at 50K subs already! GREAT JOB! The show is growing so quickly. Wow! A well produced show with fantastic guests and a great cast!
Ok I have to say I enjoyed the episode thoroughly as John is such an amazing actor. However what was in my opinion super cool was the ending credits and how nice and slow and readable they were. Imo too many people are missed and forgotten because the credits aren't looked at as important as the whole of the episode but all the names you miss are a huge part of why we have this great show. Everyone matters and this was huge for me. Call me easily satisfied but its a lost art imo and its just awesome to see it again. You guys rock and keep me going. Thx again for the time. 🖖🖤
First, let me just say that I LOVE John de Lancie's Q. That's a portrayal of a god that is:
1. "Will you grow out of your bullshit? No? Well, here's a highly metaphorical lesson with high stakes, learn from it." and
2: "I can do anything. Now, show me why I should do that exact thing that you want me to."
Second: I really admire what this channel does, because you really talk to the actors and pull the curtains on us mere viewers or fans, and show what it really takes to get to that point to be an actor and subsequently become someone's favorite character. A little bit of history, a little bit of luck... and not just actors, directors as well. Keep it up, this content is enlightening as well as entertaining.
John’s command of the English language is one to envy, I picked up a half dozen words in this one I’m making note of. Not only that, his use of them, inside a thought, enables him to transfer a large amount in a short period of time.
He truly is a living legend.
Oh he is definately a man of books and learning. Not just a pretty face!
So true❤ this class and sophistication was just inspiring ❤
John de FREAKING Lancie! So much fun! His pizza videos are fun, too
John de Lancie is one of the most captivating actors working in Hollywood. I always take note of his performances in whatever production he appears in.
He has the presence, skill and talent that draws you in as a viewer time and again. He doesn't get the recognition he deserves......
A most entertaining and enlightening episode. I learned much about John de Lancie that I did not know. What a fascinating human being! I could've listened to him share stories for another two hours. I have my fingers crossed that Q gets to return in a Picard spinoff series. I would love to live in a world where our politicians (and others in power) were incapable of lying. Dammit Q, Make It So!
For some reason (maybe the way it was worded) I had John de Lancie's voice in my head as Q speaking this to me. Weird but cool.
No spoilers - just checking that when you watched Picard S3's final episode, you stayed through the closing credits. :)
Thanks for posting this. John de Lancie wasn't my top ST character, he is the top three now. I had to teach myself how to read, also, because the new teaching methods they used in the early 60s were bad. The new math methods at the time are why a lot of us can't do the math. This was inspiring. TY.
PS I like this site a lot because it's like hearing old friends talking. It's a nice group of people
I failed GCSE (high school level) maths on 4 separate occasions. In my mid 20's did an adult learning one with same content but aimed at adults with learning disabilities, passed exam after 6 lessons.
I've been a huge fan of NextGen and I remember a line from the book 'I,Q' which I purchased in my early twenties and red cover to cover ; "Never assume , because it makes an 'ass' of you and me". I felt really touched by the simplicity and veracity of that statement since it felt so in tune with my values , so much so that it made me rethink about all the moments 'Q' had something to say. After all , what is a god to say to mere mortals when eternity lies blindly ahead ?!
As always @ShuttlePodShow keeps raising the bar and giving us these fantastic chats with our favourite people!! I will definitely continue to support, especially for the new permanent home! Keep up the great work!! ❤💛💙🤓🖖🏾
BTW, I still have my stuffed Porthos dog. Glad to see Connor has his, too. :)
I really enjoyed this and it really spoked to me about his struggles as someone who has a learning disability. We are more than those tests say that we are.
Great Episode. How can you not like Q!
There is a retired sports writer named Vic Ketchman who was also there on May 4. He wrote about it sometimes. Tensions had been building on campuses across the country for more than a year. A week after Kent State, police shot up Jackson State in Mississippi, killing 2 and wounding a dozen or so more. So while Kent State is the one most remembered, it wasn't the first or only time state violence was used on protesting students. I'd like to say it was a dark time in our country, but compared to how we shoot up schools nowadays, I _wish_ we lived in a time when a half-dozen deaths were all it took to galvanize a national reaction.
There's a crazy disconnect between the audio track and the vid track. its like a 2.5 second delay
They are aware, and will be working to fix it👍
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
Q is THE best! Great interview, I learned a lot, and it was a lot of fun and very interesting.
Thank you!
Desperately needs a re-upload with the audio fixed. Looks like it'll be a great episode!
Yeah, I'd like to watch this but can't.
just got word from TSPS that this will be fixed as soon as possible and thank you for making them aware!
@@marsd27 John seems like a 'one of a kind' type person. That's great news, thanks.
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
I love John! He is obviously a great talent but he is also just so darn dry and funny. Dominic have an amazing trip!!!
I drove cross country with my bestie a couple of years ago. It was an amazing experience. Safe travels to Dominic. Q is one of my favorite characters, I've been looking forward to this one.
Connor cuddling his plushie is not only adorable, but enough for me to conclude that he is a great cuddle buddy
I wish I had one!
Wow, a lot of unexpected details in this interview. Well done.
Took a class from John D in the 80's before q. He was a legend then and now. Nothing but, great, life changing, succinct, amazing, acting advice.
We never tire of your show. Another great episode. Thank you!
I…am… so so inspired and overjoyed watching this episode! This shall be now one of top favorites that I will come back to! What a deeply intelligent, humble, sophisticated, uplifting human being! And now that we know what he had to overcome early on, I am just in awe! Oh and @14:00 😂❤❤😮 so wish I could have seen that Stravinsky “re”-production , sounds incredible!
Thank you, Shuttlepod!!❤❤
I so thoroughly enjoyed this episode. John is an excellent example being human and being comfortable discussing the vunerable things
Thanks again Shuttlepod Team for another great i/view. What a fascinating character and life John has led - it was a pleasure to be allowed to listen in on the conversation.
Hi guys! Thanks for this one! I was unfortunately a little side-tracked every now and then. But John de Lancie should be listened to more intensively. So the homework for me is to watch it again. And let's hope our traveler Dominic has a good time on his journey, relaxes well and comes back save and sound. WE love you Dominic! Take care❣🖖🏼🌻🌻
Erica is so lovely and whether it sounds weird or not - I don't really care because from my perspective it's not - she has a beautiful and prominent nose and that has always from my eyes has been a feature, when it's prominent, that simply makes a women beautiful. Besides her looks, I get from her that she is a caring person, not overly "stuck" on her attractiveness, which also makes her even more attractive and a very caring attitude and warmth when she does her part of the podcast mainly that of fielding and presenting questions from fans. In this episode Conner and Mark continue to be very comfortable to watch, listen to and with questions that cause the guest(s) to tell some really great stories. I also like that the show does not contain endless sexual references and swearing. I never watched Star Trek for sexual scenes or any leaning in that direction - have always loved the awesome acting and writing. John DeLancie is of course a joy to watch as Q. For a time I was part of a group of people here in Las Vegas making a fan made Star Trek series - called "Quarks Space Station". No budget really - we just made it happen by our love of Star Trek. I was prop master, script writer and actor in the fan made series. I spent over $800 of my own money on needed props, loved the small amount of directing I got to do and played Cptn. Picard, Odo, Wellington ( a person trying to get hired on Quarks Station) and a tree-based life form, selling contraband to Quark in one scene. Though episodes of Quarks Space Station can still be seen on You Tube and certainly a lot of criticisms can be levied regarding much of the sets and acting ( again we had no budget), I am proud of the props I came up with, the writing and directing I got to do and the roles I played, as at least one cast member with some small amount of acting experience in my past. Thanks for having actors we all revere on your podcast. Live, Long & Prosper Brian Gardner
I was a pain in the ass kid to all my teachers, always preoccupied, spent a lot of time in detention, and I ended up cleaning in the library also and poetry was smaller sections and easier to complete and that help me read better too. This has been such an interesting and informative exchange. Thanks you guys! Trecker, since the sixties!
Great point about the surprise of how FEW episodes Q was in!!
A fantastic episode with one of the foremost StarTrek icons! Roddenberry was right. The character and John's portrayal of Q is so strong as to be overpowering. When Q appeared, he was in command.
The issue is that Picard is supposed to be in command. You therefore have this dynamic of the Captain vs. an omnipotent being, which has to be used _sparingly_ or it will undermine the premise of the series.
That both John De Lancie and Patrick Stewart have immense screen presence is necessary. While some of the best episodes are those where Picard's authority is challenged, at the end of the day he has to climb back into his Captain's chair and lead the crew to the next strange new world.
If Q had appeared every fourth episode, STTNG would no longer be about exploration, but Q pulling the strings and setting up everything. That's a different show.
I do think that John could pull off a leading role in his own show, whether Star Trek or not. That would be interesting. It wouldn't have to be the character of Q, but if so, it would heavily involve the Collective and all those things that are only hinted at to date. There has to be some limits to his abilities or you don't have a show.
My fav Q moment was when he saw whoopies character and they made cat claws then hissed at each other! Still like someone to explain that to me. Didnt like the Picard explanation!
Great Interview as usual! Love Q! Q would never have been Q without John De Lancie.
Ya… certainly I can relate to John’s role in breaking bad touching a cord in what my parents went through. Thankfully I’m a recovering addict now, but their experience was real and effected them
Who would have thought that stories about living with Dyslexia could be so interesting and entertaining ? And encouraging, I think !
Favorite line to Riker: Oh, you are so stolid! You weren’t like that before the beard.
Hahahaha
Absolutely fabulous guys ....I've been waiting for John to be on the show. I have to admit I started to cry a little when you all started to talk about Q . It took me back to 1987 and TNG and the family sitting around watching encounter at farpoint . Thank you for all you do and thank you for getting John on the show it means a lot .
Another great episode. Thanks John for your wit, humility, amd humor!
John De Lancie, such a exquisite actor. Love his work!
Q's greatest line comes from ' All Good Things" when he tells Picard that their trek through space isnt about mapping nebulae but exploring levels of existence. It is the best Q episode and that line, i hope John DeL would agree as an atheist, is not religious in intent. Also Death Wish from Voyager is a fastastic and dialogue rich episode with lots of implications, thematically. Thanks to John too for his efforts to promote secularism. He is a class act indeed, in a class of his own.
thank you guys, really enjoyed this session!! awesome!
Well... Q! If you don't like the seasonal constant of the universe (and more specifically, the east coast/NY), I suggest you simply change it thereby altering the coloration of the east coast and/or NY! Nnyyahhh~😛
The fact that he learned to read through poems makes so much sense in regards to hid acting and line delivery.
A character is like a costume for these actors and John fits perfectly. Morgan Freeman is also a god character player but John is more playful and I think if there is, god is very playful too in all the spectrum of comedy.
De Lancie plays a polytheistic type God. The gods the greeks the romans and the modern Hindus have
Growing up in a Philadelphia suburb, being an Orchestra major, and having an appreciation for the arts ... I had no idea about all this fascinating background from the actor of one of my most favorite characters ! Amazing stuff !
This interview was a music nerd’s heaven, wasn’t it❤🎶
Wish someone would have asked him what it was like to work with Robie the Robot. Solid missed Scifi question.
I'm so sorry that we didn't get to see "On a desert island..." - please ask him back (maybe just a zoom call?), because I'd LOVE to see what he picks.
Exactly! I agree with Connor. For me: before there was Q, there was Eugene Bradford. Actually I saw a bit of him peaking out of Q during his humbler moments. Thanks so much for having John de Lancie on the podcast!
Just a heads up to the Shuttlepod guys, I watched this live and I didn't see any issues, audio-wise, but upon a re-watch, the video and audio seemed to be desynced? I saw in the pinned comments that there was some technical issues this week so disregard if you guys are already aware of the issue or it's been resolved since and thanks to John de Lancie and you guys for this episode!
Yeah I just started watching and audio and video are wayyyy desynced.
Yep, didnt see it live but watching it now and it's all desync'd.
Yes, please fix the audio. I am very excited to watch this!
@@robwaflejust got word from TSPS that this will be fixed as soon as possible and thank you for making them aware!

Is the audio out of sync for anyone else or is it just me?
Same here, thought it was a Q gimmick to start with
Nope, not just you, it's an upload issue and its being worked on👍
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
I’ve loved John de Lancie since his appearance in ST TNG Encounter at Farpoint. Aside from Tom Hiddleston as Loki, de Lancie as Q is the best anti-hero.
He’s not an anti hero because he never actively takes part to fix or help in a meaningful way. He’s more like a playful imp that becomes less deadly as you get to know him.
@@Jealod24incorrect and as such you have entirely misunderstood the entirety of the interaction between Q and Picard/the crew.
I am dislexic as well. I learned to read by turning the books upside down.
I am 69 and just finished my second master's degree a few years ago. Just don't ask me to go to the store and read labels.
Kudos John!
Mon Capitan😎
a Phila cheesesteak is BROWN Conner!
lol
Looks incredible for 75.
The most amazing interview you all have ever done to this point… a perfect storm
I and my son were in the wrong place at the wrong time and unfortunately witnessed a man shot 11 times in a robbery and I and my son will never forget seeing him hit and drop and knowing the man would never get up again. To make matters worse the shooter turned the firearm to us and I was carrying myself due to my job and pulling mine was enough to make him leave but it's something we will never get over.
Oof. ❤️
Audio is messed up, doesn't match speech
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
Brilliant guest! Have loved John's acting for decades. To this day I still remember scenes from his time on DOOL, and still catch myself calling him Eugene 😅🤦🏼♀️. Brilliant in all his roles and comes across as a nice person 😊. I hope Dom wasn't too disappointed not being there to meet him 😧. The artwork of Q looks so real 😲👌
"And Microbrain! Growl for me, let me know you still care.
whatever John de Lancie does is brilliant, I am a 40 year old man my girls are watching my little pony and Discord (voiced by John) takes my attention and I am watching my little pony wanting to know what is happening to this character. John is brilliant no matter what he does!
Awesome episode guys, great stuff. What a true gent John is, especially the stories from his younger days. I'm surprised he didn't click his fingers and make you all disappear, Lol. Keep up the good work. Best regards Gary.
Another fascinating guest. I lived Eugene and Calliope from Days
When Q becomes human sure it's funny, but it actually kicks off the pretty deep mortality theme that continues in later Q (and a lot of Data) episodes right up to the first Q episode in Voyager. Q can't stand being mortal but it turns out to be the wiser thing to strive for, like Data and Quinn.
Loved the Q Character but have greater appreciation now of John de Lancie the actor and his history. It would make a great biographical movie. Not too many go from witnessing Kent State massacre , getting into the Nixon White house, providing testimony to government etc. no wonder the Q character was played with ease.
Another great show!! John de Lancie, superb guest!!!
He was there at the birth of TNG, visited every sequel, and finally, was there at the very end of the TNG saga, almost 40 years on...
No other actor has that clear distinction in the annals of Star Trek.
Great show!
I had no idea he was at Kent state. Hearing about his visit to the capital, I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Mr. De Lancie probably helped shape (the better part of) current American culture.
Uh Oh, audio is out of sync guys!
They are working to get this fixed, there were some upload issues with UA-cam this morning - it will take a bit of time...
@@catherine000 I have no doubt. Keep up the great work. Thanks.
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
@@ShuttlepodShow Woohoo!
Great Vlog, glad to get inside JDL's thought processes on the character. It was very obviously good work, kept me captivated through the ST series he has been in, especially Picard. Thanks for interviewing him.
Nailed it with the title
It was by Q that I learned that I also am most likely an obtuse piece of flotsam
Q was super annoying to me at first. He kinda grew on me as tng went on. i realized i might actually like the eps when i started seeing him in the other trek series, "Picard never hit me". The continuum grows on you kinda like ds9s Mirror Universe. hated all them eps then started to enjoy them after a couple times seeing em
Q is awesome
Love the lights behind John
What a lovely human John is. A fascinating talk guys, every credit. 👏🏼
the character of Q was a sign of great writing ... a literal god with so much power should only be used very sparingly or they risk becoming a crutch -- even in voyager he was written perfectly when janeway was like 'you could snap us home' and his response was basically 'i could ... but what fun would that be??' (in any form of media books/movies and tv/videogames that features the 'god archetype the sign of a good writer is shown by how much they use said character)
Am I the only one whose audio is out of sync?
Nope, it"s an upload issue and its being worked on👍
Yep. Was a UA-cam thing. Our audio was never out of sync. Should be fixed now. Thanks for lookin’ out!
@@ShuttlepodShow Ah good to hear! I've been waiting for this episode for months now! Q is the best!
FABULOUS show as always! TY!!!
God, I'm so glad Dom wasn't there to interrupt and derail John de Lance. Given the amount of rehashing TNG season 1 was of TOS, pretty sure Q was an offshoot/reimagining of Trelane. Both characters played by amazing actors. Q made season 1 bearable.
With work, its taken days to get through the whole episode. What a cool interview. I've been sailing since I was 7, I had no idea Mr. Lancie was a serious sailer. too cool.
