What do you think Q almost said to Picard in AGT?

"Be careful out there as humanity is one or two steps away from greatness but one wrong move and it's all gone!"
JB
 
Or in anything, since something like that caused life to form on Earth. :devil:

Oh wait, that really doesn't work as a crappy joke... :wah:

It's a Simpson's reference (Homer's father's advice to him on his wedding day.)


Homer Simpson: [after using a time-traveling toaster, Homer suddenly finds himself in the dinosaur era] Okay, don't panic! Remember the advice your father gave you on your wedding day.

Grandpa Simpson: [Flashback of younger Grampa in a tuxedo] If you ever travel back in time, don't step on anything. Because even the tiniest change can alter the future in ways you can't imagine.

Homer Simpson: Right. As long as I stay perfectly still and don't touch anything, I won't destroy the future.

[a prehistoric mosquito flies by]

Homer Simpson: Stupid bug! You go squish now!

[squishes the mosquito. It falls to the ground, dead]

Homer Simpson: [gasps] But that was just one little insignificant mosquito. That can't change the future, right? Right?

Prehistoric Creature: I don't know.
 
Near the end of 'All Good Things...' after the trial, Picard asks Q ”what is it that you're trying to tell me?” Q leans over and almost says something to Picard's ear but instead he says ”you'll figure it out”.

1. "Tell Robert, its the 24th century, install fire alarms"

2. "I just broke wind"

3. "Starfleet lied to you, money does exist, they just don't want to pay you"

4. The revolution will not be televised, it will be on holodeck 5"

Maybe Q really thought about telling Jean Luc about Robert and Rene's fate but decided against it to prevent the changes it may have on the timeline further down the way.

I'd suspect, from Q's perspective, the timeline and/or multiverses are all pretty fluid an so interchangable.
 
"unknown possibilities of existence" - Exploring other realities like what he offered to Janeway. Apparently that's more of an adventure than exploring space. That was always my best guess.
 
I got the impression Q was tipping his hand about the human future and the next step. That would fit the central narrative of the show.
I've always thought this too. Throughout the series, Q has mentioned that humanity is progressing faster than we (the Q Continuum) expected. He alluded to that in Q-Who but I think the idea was raised in Farpoint and possibly Hide and Q too.
 
"There were four lights"

"Simulation theory is correct. You are all binary code"

"Beware of pissed-off time travelling Romulans from the future"

Or maybe he was just going to give him a remedy for hair loss
 
Q was going to tell Picard the same thing that Beverly has been trying to tell him for years.

"Jean-Luc, there's something I need to tell you..." (Something happens and she never finishes the sentence.)
 
He really said, "While you will want to stop playing the role of Picard after a few movies, you'll still be enticed to return. Make sure it's enticing! Oh, and do you have any Gray Poupon?"
