Missed Opportunities That Need Rectified...

The show probably could have done something better with the Q Continuum.
Sure. After all they self-identify as having omnite... omni...omnite...
Well, see for yourself (it's four takes interspersed with other fragments).

Or how about this, instead of meeting Valeris on the bridge, we're introduced to Sulu's daughter a movie early, and then she's the traitor?
It’s hard to see Q as pure villain. In Encounter he saw humans as particularly problematic ants. By All Good Things they had been promoted to beloved dog. As a whole he seems like the one Q open minded enough to challenge a tyrannical status quo.
The other Q are presented at some points as being more honorable. But those Q created the trial. Those Q created the idea of the anti time rift, and our Q is the only one to put his finger in the scale to help. Our Q may have played with people to entertain himself but he’s the only Q who gives a crap about the fate of lesser beings.

I don't even like the Q and even I think that the Q and the Grey (and it's terrible follow-up episode, what was it called with Q's little brat visiting Voyager?) did them dirty.
Don't forget Amanda Rogers! Although it's uncertain if she was part of the anti-time crowd.
The Q we know best was sort of an anti-hero.
Started out as a troublemaker character and gained a conscience in the process.
Which is more interesting than the godlike beings in Trek who remain static in their ambivalence or antagonism.
Well Voyager sure did.
I know.
Another reason why I love Babylon 5; their jumpgates.
That was one question that B5 never answered... who made those first gates?
The younger races started making their own, but the first ones were found and reverse engineered to make those jumpgates.

Did VOY have any reason to remember Amanda Rogers?
De Lancie's Q was enough. Would there have been any specific reason to bring in Amanda?
I don't think so.
Besides, DISCO mentioned that contact with the Q continuum did not end until late 25th or sometime in the 26th century.
Since De Lancie's Q is now dead, this could indicate that Q's son or even Amanda may have interacted with UFP until that point - maybe taking over as liasons to the mortal realm (the Continuum may have deemed the relationship useful until the 26th century).
Which is really aggravating because in the Quinn episode Quinn laments nothing new or novel. Except, two Q had "recently" (I know, Time is relative) has a child and then the Continuum killed them. So, is that not novel?
Oh. I thought that question was answered in the series.
