What I wouldn't give for an episode of Q just running around downtown 2020s LA and the subburbs trying to manually do poo poo without using what little is left of his powers. So he's gonna like steal money and hire an Uber driver to get him from place to place, and break into a lab to steal the chemicals he needs to gently caress with Soong and has to run away from security and guard dogs, and try to con his way into the Europa Project's therapist's office and like bonk him on the head with one of his office trinkets and then steal his clothes and hide him in the closet before Renee shows up, all while staying like half a step ahead of Picard and co. as he just weaves a plan by the seat of his pants that even he gets lost in.

Or at least just like a montage of antics set to the Inspector Gadget theme or something:

What I'm saying is Terry Matalas is a hack with no imagination.

Now see, THIS would’ve been top tier entertainment.

Q having to humorously improv an elaborate scheme that normally would’ve been done with a snap of his fingers.

And at some point, he’d stop to eat at Taco Bell and his intestines would be wrecked.

Q as a street magician who can only muster turning Coca-Cola into Pepsi with a fraction of a fraction of his powers.

Oh how the mighty have fallen, Q.

Let me try and recap

Beginning of the season: sub space anomaly, we need to go back in time to stop fascism.

Now: we need to stop a borg queenlette and deal with picard's mommy issues

This is the gist of it. Yes.

They specifically said he wasn't dead on Twitter (aka they forgot he was on the ship and made up the excuse after the fact) This was at the same time the other showrunners were tweeting that their characters were also not at Frontier Day so the Lower Decks and Prodigy crews aren't doomed to die from borg cum teens

Elnor was truly lucky that his alarm clock batteries died, and hence, didn’t wake up to get Borg Cum Teen genocided at Frontier Day.

I am still bummed that we didn’t get a bunch of “Q struggling to navigate the early 21st century because his powers are waning/limited” in season two of Picard.

Q having to use public transportation.

Q having to Google addresses and phone numbers.

Q trying to decide what to order at a Wendy’s.

Q playing Three Card Monte and getting bamboozled.

I'm still picturing something like a Prius rolling up to Guinan's bar and Q hops out and Picard's like "What the hell are you doing, Q?" and Q's just all smug like "I hired an Uber, Jean-Luc :smug:" like it's the greatest thing he'd accomplished. Then he has to hit Guinan up for like $20 to pay the guy because he doesn't have any cash.

De Lancie would’ve pulled that off beautifully.

Per the TNG Technical Manual:

quote:

Matter conversion subsystem creates physical props using replicators. Replicated props are generally created when an object is likely to be touched by the participant. Some props are animated under computer control by precision-guided tractor beams.

Holographic imagery subsystem creates three-dimensional images of simulated environments. Shaped forcebeams give physical substance to foreground objects so they have the illusion of being solid.

Substrate forcefield creates "treadmill" effect, permitting participant to remain stationary while the simulated environment "scrolls" by within the limits of the simulation program.

The finale should just be the Breen activating the technology and then every ship and starbase in the Milky Way explodes.

And everybody’s skeletons explode. Violently.

Smash cut to a spooky child’s choir singing the Star Trek theme in a minor key as the galaxy is sanitized, ala firing the Halo Array.

Ultra grimdark ending. Also slaps an expiration date on all future Star Trek shows.

Smash cut to Riker and Troi in the Holodeck on TNG enterprise. "well certainly glad that was all a holodeck simulation, all that seems awful!", "yes, now lets forget that all happened and tell Picard not to do all that awfulstuff in the future that we also just saw on the holodeck." "yeah, I think we can make a better future than that".

Alternatively, the entire Discovery series is a dream that Reg Barclay had.

He wakes up from it, shrugs it off, and then goes to check some old isolinear chips as part of his daily chores.

I just assume that Starfleet Admirals in the distant future have reached peak corruption. In order to even become an Admiral you probably have to drown 20 people with your bare hands.
