That episode is both entertaining and kinda frustrating due to how episodic TNG is.

If it had been, say, a Joss Whedon show, we would have had a minimum of half a season of Human Q hanging out with the crew, and that would have been kind of delightful.

If it had been a Joss Whedon show, Q would have been played by a teenage girl and been forced to go barefoot the entire time.

Could also be a Silver Surfer type, a time traveller, or other sorts of mystical/cosmic beings that hang around simply because it's where the fun's at. Often the kind of character that can be explained dropping in and out whenever it suits them and being a little of a wildcard. Maybe a bit of a Q. Or a Doctor Who. (funny thing is the DS9 ep with Q implies that when he's not annoying the Enterprise crew, Q basically Doctor Whos around the universe with a sassy companion to make things interesting)
I would absolutely watch a Q spinoff series.

Wait, when did it come out he was creeping on underage girls too? I would've thought his ex would've mentioned that in the huge blogpost about the hosed up stuff he was doing as a showrunner. Or did she and I just forgot?

Yes, the tax law makes it very clear that even if you obtain your income from illegal sources you must declare the income. All you got to do is make a Schedule C. You don't even have to declare that you're doing prostitution, you can just write that the job is other services and put your name as the title to business. But you still got to declare that income or it's a crime.

Wait, maybe I'm misreading it but isn't he agreeing with her? The "I love it" is ambiguous and could refer to loving the word nubile or to loving her tweet, but then later in the tweet after he gives the second definition, he says that makes it "double awful." Which means he thinks both meanings are creepy and awful, right?

I could be mis-parsing it. It is certainly unclear.

I thought it was pretty clear that he "loves it" in the same way we love everything posted in F&F (for example). It's awful and gross for multiple reasons and totally outs anyone who uses it seriously as an utter sleazebag.

Yeah, that's how I took it, but it was posted right after somebody asking if Whedon was a pedophile, so I was confused.

Creeping on teenage girls doesn’t make you a pedophile. Pedophilia is a sexual disorder where you’re sexually attracted to prepubescent children. Being a creep and a possible predator doesn’t mean a person is a pedophile

Anyway, what I meant is that in a given Whedon work you can usually identify a character as "The Kitty", not to get too TV Tropes-ish... your Willow, your Fred, your Kaylee, etc.

Oh, and the Kitty Pryde he fired into a space in a magic bullet.

He definitely has a Thing for the Ingenue which becomes even more creepy in hindsight.
