Why was he testing humanity?
Star Trek
Sebastian Butler
Grayson Brown
No one knows. Something about seeing something in humanity that he didn't see in other alien races. I guess that makes him an alien racist.
Nicholas Bailey
To see if they where worthy of Lower Decks
Blake Rivera
He sees himself in us.
Owen Lopez
yet the Q let the bastard races like klingons and ferengi live
I liked the q charachter but the 'lore' is retarded
Hudson Cruz
They needed a plot to make the new, more futuristic, and more powerful federation still feel small and plucky.
Jack Bailey
Technically wouldn't he still be testing? He did say the trial would never end.
Kayden Turner
Yeah, but why?
Adrian Miller
That is currently what Picard is about sort of
Benjamin Torres
Maybe we'll find out in Picard.
Connor Collins
No answer will be satisfying, especially one given by Kurtzman.
Austin King
to understand his own test
Leo Clark
For the lulz.
Zachary Peterson

>No answer will be satisfying, especially one given by Kurtzman.
That’s because no answer was ever meant to be given. Q is a metaphor for the unknowns of life and life will always test you and that test will never end until you die (and who knows, maybe it goes on in different ways after that as well).
Wyatt Wood
He was bored.
Juan Martin
These are neither funny nor interesting.
Kevin Howard
This one.
Brandon Wright
Christian Diaz
It stops being funny after the 33rd time.
Jonathan Hill
It's about marking your territory.

Tyler Myers
>33rd
What did the Masons mean by this?
Anthony Thompson
Plot device. But one thing's for sure, Gene Roddenberry did not plan out whatever the fuck is happening to Q in the Picard series. That's just a Hollywood tradition of killing off immortal beings because of hubris or whatever the fuck. Hollywood doesn't like to put the idea of immortality in the heads of its audience without later portraying it as a curse or an impossibility that would lead to ruin if pursued.
All of the wealthy oligarchs that run the world desire to live for as long as possible if not forever and they are actively working on achieving that goal. The last thing they want is to let every common plebe share in their potential godhood. So they drill it into the heads of everyone that pursuing immortality is bad. But they really mean it's just for them.

It’s time to put an end… to your /trek/.

sucks we never got several episodes of dark mirror tng. the closest we got was 'yesterday's enterprise'.
Adrian King

I'm starting to support islamic extremists throwing fags of skyscraper desu
Brandon Johnson
Gene and Rick didn't want to confuse viewers or use TOS stuff till the series was firmly reestablished.
I think it was the right call considering the DS9 crossover episodes.
Levi Hernandez
I wish I had a time machine so I could show Wesley what he would be like in 30 years
Benjamin Johnson
it makes no sense for Q to look like old man in Picard, we have cheap technology to make him young again, it is things like this that make Star Trek seem so out of touch with today's reality
Jaxson Peterson
De-aging costs a fucking fortune and isn't perfect.
It makes more sense for him to age himself to mock Picard anyway.
Christopher Ross
Camden Scott
Q is a 3rd wall metaphor for the federation and how it appears to lesser civilizations, basically earth now, guiding civilizations to the right path.
Elijah Mitchell
It's not about likeability of race, even though that's subjective anyways. It's about potential for progress and as a potential threat.
In TNG we saw that a human girl was able to ascend into a Q, meaning humanity as a species had the potential to become Q or even evolve to threaten to overthrow the continuum.
Colton Scott
this is the only correct answer.
Carson Foster
to YOU
Aiden Scott
IIRC she is not human her parents were Q that wanted to live as mortals and were given an ultimatum to never use their powers, they end up using them and the other Q execute them, the girls is just developing her powers naturally and Q was there to bring her into the fold or kill her since the experiment with her parents failed.
But yeah he sees in humans the most potential to fuck things up.
Cooper Richardson
>IIRC she is not human her parents were Q that wanted to live as mortals and were given an ultimatum to never use their powers, they end up using them and the other Q execute them, the girls is just developing her powers naturally and Q was there to bring her into the fold or kill her since the experiment with her parents failed.
Oh yea, completely forgot about that whole plot lol.
But yea, the general point still stands.
Isaac Rivera
they should bring wesley back for picard, but only let him wear this outfit the entire time.
Nathaniel Cook
>they should bring wesley back for picard
Wil Wheaton does not need any more money to buy his Wesley Crusher action figures and fleshlights
Anthony Hughes
Q continuum is the final form of the borg and Q is trying to push humanity toward embracing it
Jonathan Hernandez
Literally not one single soul I know gives a shit about the plot of Picard s2, even the few that are suffering through are just waiting for the asspull that will make everything go back to normal so they can get to s3 with the original TNG cast.
Christopher Reed
I always knew Q was based.
Logan Johnson
I'd slide her panties to the side

Caleb Morris
Humans have the potential to evolve into Qs.
Daniel Adams
These threads are proof that we’re a savage child race.
Nicholas Adams
Q himself wasn't testing humanity, the entire Continuum wanted humanity destroyed for being a, "dangerous, savage, child race."
Carson Taylor
Compared to most races out their humanity was way a head of curve, so I have to suspect Q was full of shit, especially since he later wanted to make a human into a Q and then ended up have a half human son
Carson Hughes
>watchers.
i stopped watching there.
fucking hated that shit.
werent the Q exactly that?
there is an episode of TNG where Q basically helped picard to become the person he was, because he laughing like a maniac when stabbed doesnt make sense unless you include the shit Q did, meaning that he in fact needed him to exist and helped him.
Hunter Sullivan
If I may put forward a slice of personal philosophy, I feel that man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child-king long enough!
And as his empire crumbles, my precious Black Widow shall rise as his most fitting successor!
Zachary Bennett
>These threads are proof that we’re a savage child race.
No, just problem childs.
Joseph Sanders
He wanted to bring new DNA into the Q, he ends up having a kid with his Q gf, his son is full Q, and that all happens after the Q go into a civil war so w/e was the case during TNG doesn't really matter.
Brayden Cox
Fuck Q
Juan Murphy
i dont know if that has anything to do with pic. just my personal theory.
