    He was very nice to me when I met him in 2013 at a con here in Houston. He asked what I did for a living. When I told him I was at the time training to become a teacher, he came around the table to shake my hand and did a one armed hug. He was very encouraging of my decision to become a teacher, and we chatted for a while about reading and The Raven. I became an English teacher three months later.

      You can just tell by looking into his eyes during this interview that he's a very kind man. People like Jon de Lancie exist to give cynics like me hope for humanity.
      I'm glad you pursued your dreams. Teaching is a hard profession, and it grows ever more difficult as time goes on and teachers are disempowered while students parents are empowered in ever increasingly irrational ways.
      Let me express that while it may not be apparent at the time, you can and do make your mark on those few students who do care. Even now, I remember those few teachers who had a passion and they made an impact on my life.
      It's worth the struggle. And thanks for doing it,

  • @zeroangelmk1
    @zeroangelmk1 7 років тому +55

    Q is easily one of the most memorable characters in TNG, especially given he was only in 9 episodes. Easily one of the top 5 antagonists in all of Star Trek (and pretty darn close to Khan, Gul Dukat, etc)

    • @nicholashernandez4611
      @nicholashernandez4611 3 роки тому +7

      Antagonist? I wouldn’t go that far. Definitely a trickster, maybe a grey character, but not an antagonist. If it wasn’t for him, the Borg would have had four centuries or more to conquer the galaxy before falling upon the slightly more powerful Federation. It would have been a bloodbath for the humans. Think about it - Q made it so humans faced the Borg early enough that humanity and Starfleet had a chance to win. Add to that the fact the crew of the Enterprise even learned how to counter the Q to an extent by tuning their sensors to his type of energy source and hold him at bay a little, how Picard was being shown different forms of exploration thanks to Q, and even got to learn about the nigh omnipotent species, and it doesn’t seem like Q was an antagonist.
      It’s almost like Q was the hero of his own story, sometimes crossing paths with the Enterprise and going on a journey. Sometimes it involved the Enterprise directly, sometimes it was happenstance. I never saw malevolence in Q, maybe a slightly sinister curiosity but more often he came across as an annoying and powerful friend.
      Most importantly to me, Q was rarely wrong. You had to listen to what was inferred rather than said to hear otherwise. Or was it the other way around...guess I have an excuse to binge watch the series again!

    • @SBaby
      @SBaby 2 роки тому

      I wouldn't call him an 'antagonist'. He's more like an anti-hero. You don't understand why he does what he does right away, but eventually you do.

      Get hulu, it's all there and voyager, and his episodes are even marked. In the popular. Somehow Enterprise is there too, but I could just not get into it. Just like when it was on TV, DS9 too, dumb idea. You want them travelling or there is no point, a station with almost the same stories every time. It all went down after Voyager for me.

    One evening we were walking up a huge flight of stairs and John De Lancie was coming down the same flight with his family. I literally almost ran right into him and stopped about 3-5 feet in front of him in amazement and said, "Q???" I mean I couldn't believe it.
    Then later in the trip I worked out with Tuvok (Tim Russ) and ate lunch at a restaurant with Harry Kim (Garret Wang) after the cruise after disembarking.

    I think there is just something about Delancie that is so memorable...when he played Dr. Mott in the hand that rocked the cradle I never forgot that performance, and I watched that movie when it first came out and again the other day and his performance was as chilling as it was the first time I watched it as a teenager.

I thought he was fantastic then and still fantastic now. When my daughter played me a clip of her favorite My Little Pony character, I laughed again. It was Discord, and it was another fun character. I would love to meet him, just to thank him for the great multi-generational entertainment he's given my family.

When he and Picard were in a scene it was magic to me. It was different when he was with Sisko and Janeway. He had to play it a little different with them than Picard.

    He's fun & interesting to watch & listen to, just as I'd expect someone who portrayed Q. He really wasn't in very many Trek episodes, but you (and the characters) often felt he was hidden somewhere nearby, watching everything that was going on. And it seemed he was on more often. I remember at least one episode he WASN'T in, and Riker (or Geordi or someone) said "Could this be one of Q's jokes?" about some catastrophe that was about to happen with some planet.

    Q's story arc in TNG is far more significant than most people realise.
    He was in the first and last episodes, kind of suggestive of most Religions (aka "in the beginning there was God" and God will appear at the End of Days) and all of his appearances have greater existential meaning.

    I have a general dislike of omniscient characters, so I never really liked Q UNTIL, 'All Good Things'. There is a specific scene where I had a sudden epiphany, and realized just what an EXCELLENT actor John De Lancie is. I've since gone back and watched those Q episodes with a new appreciation of his talent. I still don't like omniscient characters, but I love John De Lancie as an actor.

    My dear, dear ... Mr. De Lancie... You were one of the best and Most Important pieces of the entire Next Gen Series, *Regardless* of how few of episodes the character was actually in.
    Y'see, therein lies the beauty of your portrayal of Q, John, He/You didn't need 10's of 20's of episodes to be one of the most favored & memorable characters of the entire seri ... Franchise* ... he needed .. what? ' maybe ' around 10, total .. counting ALL of the series that he eventually became a part of, as well ... and Every time, he was ALWAYS a More than welcome character to see make a return 3:) . . . Out of how many >Total< Star Trek Episodes, throughout Multiple spin-off's of & within the Franchise, as well ... I mean, c'mon man. Quit being modest.. you know damn well that you're the Shit! :) :) You Always have been and you'll always continue to be. ... and if there's one thing I (not to mention SEVERAL ~~Thousand~~ other fans that I know for a FACT..) would Absolutely, fucking=*LOVE*=to see, it'd be you [ Q ] fucking with the new cast/crew in this new ... how would Q say it..... "Truly Inferior Time-Line
    ... and that's JUST "Next Gen". Don't forget that he still showed up and made all of our lives happier, "from time, to time", in the successor series' & Spin-Off's of the 'Root' Show' of Trek, with the only exceptions being "TOS" & "Enterprise" ) to make just as much of an impression & difference in the show .. *And* a Definite fan favorite (and that's even counting the Primary Main Cast, sometimes lol) he is, by far, one of
    That's how they brought "Next Gen" in [ Q ], . . .
    ("Encounter at Farpoint", 2-part Series pilot-opener, with Q being a
    brand new, Major (recurring) character (regardless of how few of the
    episodes he was in)) as well as a Primary Plot point of the episode(s)
    and ultimately, the entire Series, as a whole, as it turned out.....
    y'know, as well as being a sort of 'connective tissue' between all the
    other Star Trek shows that were still currently airing at the time which
    they emulated/respected and used seamlessly as well)...
    ..and that is how they exited the series (with Distinction & Grace, I
    might add.)
    [ Q ] Extremely satisfying series finale ... in fact, I STILL
    consider the "All Good Things...", series finale-double part-er,. not
    only one of the best episodes of the the entire show, but also as one of
    the VERY best Series Finales, of ALL-TIME. Period. ... and the
    (for real) LAST 'Next Gen' Movie, REALLY, REALLY should've had Q
    play a Major part in it.... but shrug ... faster, shinier, hotter,
    louder... for the win, I guess :/
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    As an afterthought though.... Adding Q (John De Lancie) into the new
    'alternate' timeline of what I usually end up calling (somewhat
    mockingly, just as Q would do...he'd be SOOOoo proud :) :) :) lol)
    "Super Trek" ((hell, even just a little ... a little TINY cameo as a
    wink to us, old school fans would be exceptionally cool to see!)) and,
    it could serve as a "True connection" to ~all things Trek~ that the new
    version still needs quite badly, and that ... well, frankly, will
    probably Never succeed in getting, the entire way... Already 3
    Full-Features in and they're just now... 'kinda' starting to figure out
    how to (really) do (real Star Trek) stories .The new Trek just isn't
    getting it ... not really. I mean, I enjoyed the last few 'alternate
    ones', sure... but even then, I never did, nor will I probably ever,
    consider them (Real) Star Trek ... like, y'know what I'm saying? And
    that's a damn shame too because some (Real) Star Trek-type
    storytelling is what the world desperately needs right now!
    .... but nah.. fuck values, morals, honor, etc... Now we got sexy,
    half-naked, bimbo-science officers that serve no point to the story to
    speak of, a shoddy attempt at recreating/reproducing one of the
    greatest (In general-not Just Star Trek) Villains in cinematic history
    and a shiny, new (excessively large for it's class) Original Enterprise
    and ....* sad sigh *.. it's just all shine, and no *heart and/or
    soul*, whereas previously, it was pretty much, the exact opposite (and
    better for it, in many ways that I couldn't appreciate fully, until
    now.)
    Even with the last movie ("Beyond") doing so much better than they have
    been doing ... they still have QUITE a ways to go ... IF they ever plan
    to Truly sync up to what Star Trek Really was (and should be still)
    all about.... which, honestly ... I doubt pretty fuckin' big time :(
    Like I say, they just don't ...'get it', sadly.
    ... But, I still root for them every chance I get, but sometimes they
    don't make it easy with some of the dumb-ass decisions they make some
    (often*) times.....
    Sincerely,
    One of but many people still desperately trying to be fans of
    "Super...er' uh, I mean, "Star Trek".
