I'm a new member here, so this may have been asked, but I haven't been able to it. Do you guys and girls think that there is a Q for the original timeline and a different Q for the reboot timeline or is there just 1 Q travel who can travel between the two realities?
Q and the universes
- Thread starter aht8orange
- Start date
I'd say there's only one Q Continuum. But many different Qs, who can go wherever the writers wish.
Maybe there is a Q for every universe and they all came together to form the Continuum and then crossig through all of them...
Haha, Mysterion! I wonder if they could work that in there as a brief cameo somewhere
Well if Q doesn't exist in the Nureality I wouldn't worry to much about it. We still have 25 letters left.
It would be cool if the Qs were the only consistent element across all multiverses. I like this.
If they can get Sasha Baron Cohen to play the part, yes.

Since Q is immortal, Q presumably existed in the Prime universe in 2233.
Thus he exists in the Abramsverse.
IIRC, the old novel "Q-Squared" had Q and Trelane able to easily squeeze between realities, and there were duplicates of them in each. One of the Trelane's was dangeously insane and tried to merge/destroy the multiverse, or something.
Come to think of it, Q's old buddy Guinan was able to sense a reality time shift, so I imagine it wouldn't be a problem for Q, who was teleporting throughout time in TNG final episode. If Q and Guinan can sense this kinda thing maybe others can too.
If NuQ (who may be an even bigger jerk) met OldQ how would he handle it I wonder. Maybe he'd insist NuKirk is cooler than Picard.
What would be awesome (in my not so humble opinion) is if the last of Abrams' Trek movies ended with exactly what you wrote plus one minor addition. After Q disappears from the bridge, the ship, now restored to its proper configuration, sails off into a sunset, Star Trek VI style.
I'd give that scene a standing ovation.

I think Hugh Laurie would be a good Q...
Those weren't duplicates of Q and Trelane, they were the same ones.
^If they were the same, then every Trelane would have been insane, nor would they have attempted to fight off insane Trelane's attacks. They were independant entities, just like the Picards and Datas of the various "time tracks"
The implication is that there is no "every" Trelane or Q, there is only one of each. Apparently this is standard for all Q.
