would you count Q as a villain? if so why and if not why not?
Q??
- Thread starter Lt Cmdr Data
- Start date
If he was a real villain then the Enterprise, Federation or Earth probably wouldn't exist anymore.
Q is not a villain. He seems to genuinely like the crew of the enterprise, particularly Picard and Riker. By the end of the episode 'Deja Q' in season 3, Q seems to have developed a real sense of humanity. He admits to feeling ashamed that he wouldn't have tried to save Data's life and above all other places in the universe Q could have gone to live out his mortality, he chose the Enterprise. If i remeber rightly he evens states that Picard is the closest thing he has to a friend in the galaxy.
He's basically just annoying.

Not a villian and by no means not an ally.
The Q and the "Q" we know is more of a teacher who will go to any means to proove his point. He was un ethical and un moral but He meant no serious harm. He would put the Enterprise-D in serious troubble, throwing them in space to meet the Borg but it was all for "good reasons"

yes, no matter what he was a villain, from the first season to All Good Things, was he a completely bad and white villain no, more gray i.e helping picard during All Good Things.
I wouldn't consider Q a villain. As a couple of others have said, he's an antagonist. I consider him a pain in the rump to the Enterprise and Voyager crews.
Tell that to the 18 innocent people who got killed because of him at System J-25.
^ Agreed.
Actually some of his actions seem to be designed to help humanity. The way he tends to go about it can be quite dangerous for humans though and he has been responsible for a number of deaths.

Exactly...he seems more like the Native American Coyote, than anything.
Oddly, for an omnipotent being, he did manage to demonstrate significant character growth, even if he never quite outgrew his mischievous ways.
Not really a villain, he was unpredictable and caused a lot of trouble, but I dont think he purposely set out to trump TNG crew.
I never said he wasn't a murderer....people died for him to proove his point.
That is a good view of him.
