My favourite moment of Q sass which I think about often

I remember whenever I watched as a kid I would shout Q! In glee whenever he showed up because I know this episode was going to be great.

When I was a teen, I hated characters like Q and Lwaxana. Now, at nearly 50 years old and rewatching the show for the first time completely through, I adore both of them. Funny how that happens.

I'm going to be 53 in just over 2 weeks and I still don't like Lwaxana (other than in Half a Life) and I didn't like Q in Encounter At Farpoint, but he grew on me rapidly.

Maybe being a menopausal woman makes the diff. ;)

I even said his comment to Worf, "eat any good books lately?" right along with him; how dorky is that? Lol

I love Q! I wish he was more of a regular.

I have a newborn who is currently in the "put everything in their mouth" phase, including books. Suffice to say, I think about this line a lot.

Q brought the snark, and he was devastating. We almost never got to see our upstanding heroes get owned like that. I loved Q episodes.

Worf gives as good as he gets.

Q: "What can I convince you that I'm not immortal?"

Worf: "Die."

Not an exact quote, but you get the point.

Why did they decide to make Worf such a dumbass in the early seasons?

Trying to shoot the viewscreen. Jumping over the railing to try to shoot Q's apparition. Trying to intimidate an omnipotent being by growling. Like, wtf Worf?

He starts out as a lieutenant. Go ask any of the military subreddits how useful their lieutenants are.

Yes, but this isn't any old military. It's Starfleet, which supposedly accepts only the best candidates.

And it's the flagship.

And he's on the bridge of said flagship.

So was Ensign Crusher, a nepotism hire.

Especially considering they established starfleet as “the best of the best” pretty early on in the show. I think someone did the math and the chances of getting into starfleet academy are like less than 0.01% The people who make it aren’t like the valedictorian of their high school, they’re the people who win the national science competition or get gold in the olympics.

However I really like the later trend in the Trekverse of “the security officer is always right and no one ever listens to them.”

you can say what you want, but in the end Worf was right and Q died bevor him.
