Q does claim to be omnipotent and omniscient. Even if he lost his powers, he still knows everything apparently. Edit: wow, this is awkward timing with the NFT talk. Now I want something like this but with Q hopefully mocking it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DrbDWq64BNg

nine-gear crow posted:Yeah, Q claims he has an IQ of 2000 even as a powerless mortal in Deja Q. He could probably figure out how to hack into Soong's personal VPN from a public access library computer or something. I now want the deleted scenes of ‘Q at the Public Library using one of their free computers to hack into Soong’s home’ and ‘Q choosing which burner phone to buy at the AT&T store’ and ‘Q breaking into a research lab to make his magic serum’

Megillah Gorilla posted:So, why does the Supervisor look like a Romulan woman from the future?  I'm just disappointed she doesn't seem to have (or be) a shapeshifting pet. nine-gear crow posted:Yeah, straight up evil asswipe Q ain't really doing it for me either. But apparently DeLancie had been angling to get the chance to play a more overtly antagonistic Q for a while after they kind of went too far into goofy nonsense Q by the end of Voyager, so if this is satisfying some longing for him as an actor, then I'm okay with it. But yeah, I also hope we get goofball "leaves a voice message comically telling you to get hosed if you call his hotline" Q back by the time we're done here.

I'd also like to point out that if ANY character in Trek should be given benefit of the doubt of accomplishing a task without an onscreen explanation, it's probably loving Q

Q doesn't just have knowledge, but also different morals and the ability to fleece people. The latter two of which can get a person quite far without the support of the first.

XboxPants posted:Powerless Q running around swindling people like an evil My Name Is Earl sounds like a perfect pitch for a long running TBS serial. I pitched it but they said people who like their brand want bad sitcoms with laugh tracks or funny adult cartoon reruns for several hours a day. Also they can't get the rights to the character Q so I just said a some sort of god-like being then and that was a big no-no.

A good poster posted:Apparently Renee Picard found a sentient microbe on Io? Like, just a living microbe would be the greatest scientific discovery in history, but it had to be sentient? Admittedly they only think it's sentient. Could easily be "We thought it was intelligent life but it was actually just some really cool microbe. But this discovery has filled us with hope and curiosity for one day meeting sentient life!"

Yeah that was a little cringe worthy but hopefully just a throwaway not to be mentioned again. E: Also the mission's named Europa but a discovery is made on Io? Io, the hell moon with volcanic lava fountains like hundreds of miles tall? Is there a single writer on staff who read Odyssey 2061?

John Wick of Dogs posted:Isn't Io the one life is actually theorized to be on? No Io is a hyper-irradiated acid hellscape of endless volcanos being constantly ripped up by the tidal forces of Jupiter, it's probably the least hospitable place in the solar system. Europa is the one that's most likely to have life, it's ice covered with internal heating and subsurface oceans. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Apr 1, 2022 |

Watch as he charms his way into a job! Observe as he swaps an objet d'art with a replica! See how he catfishes people using some kind of magical computer system that fakes everything like Batman's. Do you like the montage music? Doon, doon, doon, doon... LUPIN! God drat I love Lupin

Life on Io, sentient or not, would be way cooler than life on Europa because it would completely upend our extremely limited concepts of what qualifies as "capable of supporting life" Like it's obviously understandable since all life we've ever encountered has conformed to Earth's atmospheric/environmental makeup, but I've always thought it was a little limiting to just dismiss Volcano Planet or Gas Giant as incapable of supporting life. They're just incapable of supporting life as we know it.

Agnes: I am such a gently caress up Picard: You're a good dependable person and I like you a lot Rios: It didn't work out for us but you're ok Agnes, thank you for all that you do. I'm here for you if you need me Borg Queen: Nobody likes you and you'll be alone forever Agnes: drat she's right I mean this season is clearly about depression, and Agnes having this self doubting voice is realistic if externalized in a way that's a bit on the nose, imo
