What was Q doing when Picard became a Borg?
If he like him so much, then why did he let him suffer?
Or did he know that it had to happen to prevent the Federation from being destroyed in Best of Both Worlds and First Contact?
If that is true, doesn't that mean Q helped create the Federation?
I think he just doesn't really care. Usually he just pops in to fuck with the Enterprise
>>68244593
when was Q borg?
He was barbecuing that weekend I think
>>68244593
He caused it directly by throwing the Enterprise into Borg space in season 2.
Had to prevent Avery Brooks from becoming Locutus.
>>68244828
He was warning them about what was out there. If it hadn't been for that they would have been caught unaware.

Star Trek: Borg
>>68244828
>He caused it directly
No the didn't. In season one we learned someone was destroying bases between the romulan and federation neutral zones. This was before Q Who. It was the Borg according to the producers.
>>68244909
i think it came out once that Q wanted humanity to develop into their own form of the Continuum, and he was helping them as much as he could. either from boredom, or just plain nastiness ("We've all been the scarecrow, now it's your turn. Have fun with that.")
>>68244593
Why do you fucking faggots have THREE threads on the board right now?
Can't you be satisfied and contain it to one? Two, even, wasn't enough? You HAD to make YET ANOTHER fucking thread about a YEARS-DEAD SERIES? YOU DON'T EVEN POST ABOUT THE NEWEST MOVIES. YOU ARE POSTING ABOUT SHIT THAT LITERALLY AIRED IN THE 1980S
>>68244655
It was in some shitty fmv game
>>68244986
>We've all been the scarecrow
So every single member of the Continuum played Star Fleet? Why? What do they see? Even if the Milky Way becomes entirely one united Federation, what about the many others? How far did the Q get before they evolved?
>>68244969
Of course it was the Borg, it's confirmed in-show later with the civilizations being scooped out in the same manner. They accelerated the Borg plotline before they were ready because Roddenberry was shitting up their ratings with his nonsense stories.

>>68244986
Q can see all possible timelines and manipulate them to those outcomes most favorable. He favored Picard. Picard's experience as Locutus and the results of it saved the timeline.
Q must have been executed by the Continuum in order to bring about the JJ Abrams timeline though.
>>68245321
The Q pretend to be pretty hardcore but they're just stolen Time Lords the way the Borg are just stolen Cybermen.
Q is just Doctor Who rebelling against a decadent upper class of his peers.
>>68245381
>Q must have been executed by the Continuum in order to bring about the JJ Abrams timeline though.
Why? That timeline doesn't prevent Picards.
>>68245551
JJ is death, destroyer of worlds. He killed the Star Trek universe and he killed the Star Wars universe.
>>68245551
Have you ever met a boy who is someone's brother?
Have you ever met a girl who is someone's sister?
Have you ever noticed that Brother A is not identical to Brother B, or that Sister C is not identical to Sister D?
If things are even slightly different in the new timeline, if Daddy Picard contributes a different spermatozoon, if Mommy Picard contributes a different egg, then we might see a person NAMED Jean-Luc Picard, but it'll be a completely and totally different person from TNG's Jean-Luc Picard.
>>68244593
Q isn't going to interfere with a substantive event in Picard's lifecourse.
>>68245717
>If things are even slightly different in the new timeline
Ummm, do you realize how many star trek episodes messed with the timeline? A lot and if the butterfly effect is real, then everything is different and has been different since the beginning of the manipulation, which I'm not even sure when that was.
>>68245736
>Q isn't going to interfere with a substantive event in Picard's lifecourse.
He interfered as soon as he met him, unless you mean he saw himself do all of everything in the future and is doing it like Dr Manhattan.
>>68245381
>Q must have been executed by the Continuum in order to bring about the JJ Abrams timeline though.
Excellent observation.
lolz suffer ? hah he mind fucked a queen you noob , do you even trek ?
>>68244593
Q introduced picard to the Brog to help protect him from the borg.
Q helped create everything, or allowed it, either same. Q more judging if humans are ... worthy of being part of Q, instead of rivals.... I think...
fuck your heresy jj
>>68245859
Ahh the temporal shield argument
>>68245855
wtf is this supposed to be a picture of kahn?
>>68245955
Temporal cold war
>>68245817
>Why doesn't Q go back in time to prevent my divorce?
Events shape you, and form the substance of your life, and like he showed Picard with that knifey stabbey incident, him remapping your life for ease can be a greater loss. Q isn't going to live your life for you, and doing so wouldn't be of value to him because Picard's life is entertainment to him and he wants to see how Picard acts to life's challenges.
>>68246087
I mean, Picard is assimilated by the Borg, but doesn't exterminate them with the logic puzzle, which is a reaction that Q would be impressed by.
>>68246235
>The line must be drawn here, Admiral Nechayev! This far, no further!
>>68245736
He cucked Picard hard and stole Vag' from him in a Robin Hood world.
>>68246263
Why was Admiral Nechayev played by a DMD-animated old man in the TNG pinball game?
>>68244593
>What was Q doing when Picard became a Borg?
Off doing Q things.
>If he like him so much, then why did he let him suffer?
He never held his hand through everything.
>Or did he know that it had to happen to prevent the Federation from being destroyed in Best of Both Worlds and First Contact?
They suspected that at the end of Q Who.
>If that is true, doesn't that mean Q helped create the Federation?
Sure.
>>68245410
>Q is just Doctor Who rebelling
But that is Doctor Who. He's constantly referred to as a 'renegade Time Lord'. Which I shouldn't even know because DW is shit.
Q doesn't bear much resemblance to Time Lords, though. Way more powerful and not reliant on technology.
>>68245717
Mirror, Mirror (and various other episodes) establish pretty clearly that multiverse theory is true, though. The exact Picard we saw may not exist (or indeed, he may, as City on the Edge of Forever establishes the existence of people who are 'focal points' in possible timelines, and JLP might very well qualify) but there's a gazillion gazillion virtually identical ones out there.
>>68248123
There aren't any Time Lords in our universe, Doctor Who takes place in an alternate reality in which the UK is the world's greatest super-power.
Star Trek is an alternate universe also since Khan was never blasted into space in the late 90s.
