The entire purpose of Q's plot was to rid Picard of the guilt he felt over his mother's suicide, which had subconsciously isolated Picard for most of his life. Q ultimately revealed he was dying, and he was meeting his end alone, a fate he didn't want for Picard, who he had grown to genuinely love.
Claiming the seven-year-old trial never actually ended, Q proclaimed Humanity guilty of "being inferior" and informed Picard that his race was to be destroyed. He sent him traveling through time to his own past and present, as well as to a potential future.
Q's obsession with Picard boils down to one thing: respect. Q notices the respect that the Enterprise crew have for their captain, and he admits that is sorely lacking from his own life. Perhaps Q sees Picard similarly to himself: a being of relative power, with people working underneath him.
Summary. Q's relationship with Captain Picard was unique and based on love, which made their interactions special and meaningful. Q's appearances on other Star Trek shows lacked the same spark because his connection with Picard was personal and couldn't be replicated.
Q is initially presented as a cosmic force judging humanity to see if it is becoming a threat to the universe, but as the series progresses, his role morphs more into one of a teacher to Picard and the human race generally – albeit often in seemingly destructive or disruptive ways, subject to his own amusement.
Why Did Q Create Star Trek: Picard's Confederation Timeline? For Jean-Luc Picard to mentally process the long-gestating trauma of his mother's death, Q needed to give Picard a shot at altering that harrowing moment.
') The creators do go some way to explain this is the show. Q appears at first as the young that man Picard and audiences know, thanks to some fancy de-aging CGI. He would then snap his fingers to appear much older to match his old friend Picard, turning himself into de Lancie as he looks today.
This suggests that the Q really do live forever and are incapable of dying (at least in the traditional sense). As Q is "dying" during the Picard season 2 finale, he says this: "I am moving on. In your parlance, I am dying." Dying could have a completely different meaning for the Q.
To explain why Q appears much older in this season than he did in The Next Generation, the character initially appears the same as he did in that series—with de Lancie being digitally de-aged—before choosing to age himself to match the older Picard.
Q seemed frightened of Guinan, telling Picard that she is "not what she appears to be," and that Picard should remove her from the Enterprise. Considering Q's abilities, it's unclear why he would be afraid of Guinan, and Star Trek has never offered a real explanation for Q's reaction.
Q says “Mon Capitaine.” Picard is French. At the beginning of the series, there was an attempt by the writers to always annoy Picard by having someone make an off comment about the Captain's French ancestory.
He was able to reconcile with his friend and opponent Jean-Luc; marking his final moments with a rather noble act. While Gul Dukat was a force of evil throughout his entire journey on Deep Space Nine, Q alternated between enemy and ally throughout his run across the Star Trek universe.
Jack suffered from terrifying visions and hearing voices as a child, but it was Beverly who ultimately determined that her son was born with organic Borg DNA he inherited from Jean-Luc from his time as Locutus of Borg.
As Admiral, you have the authority to select the ships, equipment, and captains to lead into battle. Will there be a Picard spin-off? Terry Matalas, the showrunner for Star Trek: Picard season 3, has confirmed that there is currently no development underway for a Star Trek: Legacy spinoff of Picard on Paramount+.
While we do not know for certain, but without Paramount directly telling us, the prevailing theory is that Krige was unable to travel to L.A. due to COVID restrictions when casting for season two began. Since Annie Wersching lives in L.A., the role was simply recast.
Wesley Crusher Had to Sacrifice His Human Life to Become a Traveler. According to Wheaton, "One of the fundamental rules of being in the Travelers is that, once you've joined, you must NEVER interact directly with the people, places, planets, etc.
Only one Queen exists at any given time; when she is destroyed, a new Queen takes her place. In Star Trek: Voyager, it's revealed that the Borg Queen isn't a singular entity, but the name given to any that serves as its host, possessing all previous Queen's collective consciousness.
The Borg were severely crippled in the finale of Star Trek: Voyager, which left the Borg Queen weak and disfigured. This not only explains why she needs help from the Changelings, but also why she looks the way she does.
After the original Borg Queen (Annie Wersching) helped Picard and his motley crew travel back in time, she assimilated Jurati. The Borg Queen and Agnes merged into a hybrid Queen and formed a new kind of Borg Collective to protect the United Federation of Planets.
Originally Answered: In Star Trek: The Next Generation, why was Q afraid of Guinan? Because the El-Aurians (Guinan's species) are more powerful than they look.
Q. The Q are potentially the least likely to get assimilated, for not just one reason but two. Firstly, their near omnipotence and god-like powers would make it almost impossible for a Borg, or even all Borg working together, to capture a Q.
The Borg, while still a powerful threat, are nothing compared to this type of power. The Q are not only able to defeat their entire race without breaking a sweat, but can also eradicate any trace of their existence altogether.
