Who would have liked to see Q be the Borg king and Ilea as the Borg queen? and Decker as a lowly drone slave relegated to mining some planet somewhere.

Also did Picard make a big mistake not infecting Hugh Borg with that unassimilatable Borg busting virus?

Who would have liked to see Q cgi'ed out of every episode of TNG-R? I know I would, just have him plain not be there at all.

It would improve the episodes he "supposedly" appeared in immensely.

Umm...what? Really?

I always have a problem with the idea that V'Ger created the Borg, or that the Borg created V'Ger, because it goes against the characterisation of both to make that assumption...

The Borg do not view any other form of life as being equivalent to their own, so they would not have encountered Voyager VI and gone "let's build it a massive ship to house it and send it on its way"

Similarly, V'Ger was learning all that was learnable, by digitizing everything it encountered so it was stored within itself, so it had no need for the borg...

More of a YMMV here...but for what its worth, having seen how Hugh's individuality infected the collective...i don't think this was the all-powerful superweapon they thought it was...

On the subject of Hugh though...why should the fact he had been individual matter? Every single assimilated drone has experienced that...
 
No, follow me here. V'ger created Q who created the Borg using the stored civilizations in it's stored data pattern memories.
 
Why do I feel like one of the Billy Goats Gruff?

That doesn't make sense...if V'Ger could create a Q, why did it need to merge with its creator...

And why would Q create the Borg?

Umm you do know that "Encounter at Farpoint" was originally written without Q by GR and then with DC Fontana's help rescued that script with the character of Trelane, I mean Q ;)

While Q is one of my favourite characters, his appearance on Encounter at Farpoint was not a good one, and I would rather do without it. I might have liked it if Q wasn't in it.

Now, back on topic: No, I think V'ger created Henry Starling, Henry Starling created The Borg, The Borg created Q, Q created Q-Adam and Q-Eve who in “The Q and the Grey” began creating the human kind, who created the Cylons, who forced the humans to flee from the 12 colonies forcing them to become the Time Lords, who created the Andorians (antennae are cool), who created Facebook which killed Kenny.

Hide and Q is a good episode for anyone who ever wondered how Star Trek could have been if Jim Carey had got the role of Q...

Of course since he doesn't like sequel's we'd only have seen him once!
 
I never cared for Q but some of those episodes have grown on me. I can tolerate him in only small doses but I would not have wanted him in any TNG movie.

You have it backwards. DC Fontana wrote a 90 min. premiere episode about Farpoint Station and its mysterious, unexplained qualities. The order came through that Paramount wanted a two-hour telemovie-length episode instead, so Roddenberry suggested adding scenes with a Trelane-like superbeing to test the new crew. He named the character "Q" for longtime UK fan, Janet Quarton.

Well, "Ace Ventura II: When Nature Calls" will do that to anyone.
 
No, he would be recast. Delancie was clownish. They could cast someone serious who looks like him. The audience wouldn't care because he could change his appearance anyway, besides he may just be an alternate version of Decker and the V'ger baby, or virus or whatever Q is. You'ld think Starfleet would want to know what a Q is or make an attempt to look for Decker or what have you. Am I looking or creating a mystery where there is none. The Federation would certainly want to know about how and what the Q knows about the Borg since he introduced them them to us.

I commented elsewhere about a relationship between the Borg and unimatrix zero and Guinan and the Nexus.

Q could never be a Trek movie villain, because he can't be killed by fisticuffs or ship-to-ship combat.
