Where's [insert character or ship name here]?

I would be down with it if it were a natural fit into the story and not just being done to be done.

 

[Lord Garth]

Q hasn't been seen on tv since 1994.

2001 in VOY's "Q2".

But I wouldn't be against him returning if they did it right. Like if Picard was on the verge of death.

 

[StewMc]

2001 was when we last saw Q in “Q2”.

Edit: beaten to it by seconds!

If he were to appear, I trust that the writers will make it work...

OMG, I said I trust Star Trek writers. I haven't said anything like that in last 20 years!

 

[Sisko_is_my_captain]

I would like to see him in a Dumbledore at the train station kind of scene.

 

[ITDUDE]

2001 in VOY's "Q2".

I didn't realize until very recently that Q Junior is played by John de Lancie's actual son, Keegan de Lancie

They actually do look very much like each other

Same two earlier in TNG days

 

[Hythlodeus]

Q? If he makes spy gadgets for JL, why not?

That joke is about 50 years old

I know, right?

Personally, I could live without him, but so far, the writers have not disappointed.

It's the only Q I care about.

 

[Lorcan Kelly]

Id love to see him back. I feel you cant have a show with Picard and not have Q at some point.

 

[ITDUDE]

.."Kurn"...

Oh man, forgot about Tony Todd! He's what? Around 64? He can totally appear in Picard as any number of characters he has played in Trek over the years

 

[ITDUDE]

It's the only Q I care about.

Ah but which one?

 

[Hythlodeus]

Ah but which one?

both of them for... different reasons (not counting R here, because, well, he was R before he was Q)

 

[ITDUDE]

I mean Trek vs Bond Q. In Trek there has been one true Q, in Bond there has been six

 

[Terok Nor]

I'd say he has to to explain why he hasn't shown up in Picard's post Enterprise D escapades. Presuming he doesn't still show up for his yearly attempt to piss Picard off.

That's right, for all we know Q has been showing up at the vineyard in the last 14 years on regular basis. You know to enjoy the wine, and chit chat about the previous adventures:
"Remember Jean-Luc when I flinged you 7,000 light years onto a path of a Borg ship?"
"Yes I do, Q"
"Fun times, fun times..."

 

[Gonzo]

I wont be surprised if he does turn up but it will be at the end of the series most likely.

He could have been the dog all along, just for the shits and giggles.
