Agreed, I also think that matter movement and teleportation is definitely one of the things the Q can do. We were shown several instances were Q clearly teleported objects or people or transported objects, like the Enterprise, across large stretches of space.
I just assume that things like the Post-Apocalyptic Courtroom in EaF and the Regency Era fantasy Amanada Rogers put herself and Riker in were illusions inside that pocket dimension.
I also don't think they can create life, because then they could, for example just snapped a baby Q into existence in the Q and the Grey.
See considering the way dialogue works in media, I never really like theories that characters are lying, mistaken or talk complete nonsense, unless we are shown that they are lying, mistaken or talking complete nonsense.
You're talking about a character who is explicitly known to not understand what he's talking about, though. All he *can* know about Q is his own experiences of Q. There are no studies available on how the Q work. All that line says is that he thinks that (some of) Q's actions are illusions. It's a belief, or at best an intuition or an educated guess. There is absolutely no rational reason whatsoever to assume it must be accurate. Especially since Q's creations clearly have had measurable effect on real people sometimes. You can speculate that maybe they were just hidden in pocket dimensions and transported as needed but they very clearly weren't just illusions.
Those two things need not be mutually exclusive.
More squickly... Seven idolizes Janeway. Janeway either HAS been intimate with Chakotay or would like to be but won't because duty.
Clearly there's something there that Seven might find appealing since Janeway does.
The episode review on Tor says it best, regarding what happened between those two:
Yes, they hold hands and stare at each other, and then next time we see them it’s six weeks later, and their body language has completely changed. In prior scenes, they’re being respectful of each other’s personal space, and even though their conversations are more casual than they were on Voyager, there’s still a bit of distance. But when we jump ahead to them planting a garden and Chakotay showing her plans for the boat he wants to build, they’re all in each other’s personal space, they’re both smiling a lot more, and they’re just more relaxed around each other.
Intimate relations are not certain, but the author believes they happened, and I'm inclined to agree.
No argument.
Somehow I doubt that kind of intentional subtle linking motives was behind Voyager's writing, given they didn't even seem to make the effort to keep tabs on consistency issues (# of torpedoes, # of crew, etc).
Thinking about the episode "Riddles"... Tuvok could easily have solved Neelix's initial question, with logic. Consider:
NEELIX: "Okay, here goes. A lone Ensign finds himself stranded on a class L planetoid with no rations. His only possession, a calendar. When Starfleet finds him twelve months later, he's in perfect health. Why didn't he starve to death?"
TUVOK: "The ensign in question was Data, a sentient android who was serving in Starfleet as of 2371. He would not have required sustainence."

Excellent, though it depends on how you define "health" - if you include mechanical health.
I have another solution - it was an advent calendar, the kind with food inside (albeit an all-year one, if they have such things, and perhaps food pills rather than candy.)

Presumably the Phylosians...
There's very little evidence that sentient non-photosynthetic life exists.
Oh, wait, you meant in Trek.
...Charles Bronson was in an episode of "Star Trek" ?
I'm pretty sure he showed up on the set of 'This Side of Paradise' because his wife was in it and he wanted to make sure Nimoy was nice to her or something.
Hey from all indication Bronson and his wife have a good marriage, and Roddenberry was the poacher.
