I like to think she saw what the Continuum was like and bailed. I mean, she is half-human, right? As long as she uses her powers for good, I'd think the higher-ups wouldn't have a big problem. It'd be a break from other Q's nonsense.
Missed Opportunities That Need Rectified...

Agreed. He could turn up any number of places: Picard, Prodigy, or even an encore on Lower Decks.
It would be funny if Bradward Boimler wound up sucking up to him around the way Will Boimler does his counterpart, lol.
The Continuum killed her parents. I think they would have a problem.
Well, doing something like that out of malice is worse than doing it out of simple ignorance, IMO.
And don't worry, there's still plenty of ignorance we can point out. Torpedoes and salamanders are just the beginning.
Talk about differences attract... I never thought about that being one of the few occasions that they're seen spending off-duty time together...
I think the Borg were ruined after I, Borg. They should have made individuals liberated from the collective more like Rhiannon Bonaventure in the novel Vendetta. She was damn near catatonic after fifteen years of mental and physical violation. She only started to get happy again after one of her arms was severed in an assault and Crusher replaced it with a mechanical replacement. And she ultimately killed herself. They made Hugh act way, way too normal after what he went through.
The other great missed opportunity was in Trek '09. Young Kirk's line to the officer should have been extended from "I'm James T. Kirk" to a sassier "I'm James T. Kirk...who the hell are you?"

Bringing Nagilum back.
I wonder if Q knew of him/it? Another thing, would have been interesting to see Q talk about these other beings. Like the Douwd.
Maybe they usually stay in their own areas?
This is what Discovery lacks, an apparently malevolent all powerful antagonist.

Trek doesn't need malevolent forces.
Maybe they don't need them all the time, but it's certainly had no shortage of them: Redjac, the Squire of Gothos, the spinning pinwheel of hate from "Day of the Dove," the Borg in their day, the Tal Shiar, Gul Dukat, a vengeful Khan, etc.
A good villain can really spice up a story sometimes.
Well, it at least needs completely alien beings that aren't humanoid. The Ten-C (or whatever their true name is) are incredibly interesting, despite the herky-jerky plotlines surrounding their inclusion in Discovery.
Agreed but malevolent? Isn't the point of Trek cooperation?
Right and I'm not saying it can't be used. But I would prefer less malevolent and more indifference, or so alien that apparent evil is a function of a different mindset.
Yeah, indifferent is probably the better word.
I would feel sorry for Q, really. Armus was evil and malevolent. Q was neither of those things.
Q could be cruel to make a point.
Remember that time when he tortured Vash? Or caused Ent-D to lose 18 crew members to a Borg attack? Or called Picard an "obtuse piece of flotsam"? Or backhanded Picard? I'm sure he did other things I can't remember right now.
Evil? Maybe not. Malevolent? Definitely.
That initial Borg attack... Q really did the Federation a favor because it woke them up from their complacency and started to prepare themselves for a real threat.
Calling someone names... while not a nice thing to do, it's words. If a captain can't handle being called a name, that person shouldn't be a captain.
Backhanding... you realize that is a spoiler, right?
Vash... I concede that was cruel, letting her feel some of the effects of what that insect bite would have done to her.
Since I provided no context for the statement aside from demonstrating a cruel act, no it isn't.
Besides, everything we talk about regarding episodes is a potential spoiler for the uninitiated.
