“Are you a subversive, Dr. Asha, sent by our enemies to foment revolution among the researchers?”

“Yes, I am. But it’s too late now. You already slept with me. That makes you an accessory to my plot.”

“Clearly, I’ll have to silence you.”

“Try it.”

I think Google's information might be just a little off ...

I don’t care for STP for various reasons, but if De Lancie and Stewart can interact as their characters one last time I’ll take it. I just worry the writers won’t really “get” their relationship. I think the most likely scenario is that they’re in character but the writing won’t be up to par as before. It might lack that special magic touch it had before. Because if they mess up Q really bad, then they might as well not put him in the show. But if they DON’T include Q, that’s not good either.

Ah, yes, I feel you.

I personally enjoyed STP (even though I whined and complained about it the entire time lol). It does have its problems and it definitely isn’t my favorite Trek but it was awesome to see Jean-Luc again, and the Troi family and Seven of Nine. 

However I was... beyond disappointed with the finale. Q should have been there. It would’ve made so much more sense. I don’t know why they didn’t think of him as a way to resuscitate Picard. (I wrote a fix-it fic about this, a Qcard ending to STP if you will. In case anyone’s interested lol)

So naturally I’m hoping Q will be there in season 2. It never occurred to me that they might mess him up, or mess up his and Picard’s relationship (I suppose that makes me a hopeful fool, doesn’t it?) But you are so right. That’s definitely something that could happen. It’s certainly happened in the past. And the way things are going, I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t “get” the relationship. It’s such a complex one, and like, subtlety isn’t exactly the STP writers’ forte. I think it’s reasonable not to expect too much (like you said, it might lack that special magic touch) which is, uh, fine I guess. As long as they don’t mess up the entire thing!! 

So now I guess it’s “wow wouldn’t it suck if they didn’t include Q??” but also “wouldn’t it suck if they did include Q but he’s out of character??”

you can watch picard here if you dont have cbs access so make sure you share the link to make sure no one ACCIDENTALLY clicks it and watches all 40 minutes in high quality with the option for subtitles

I think for Q to come back to st: Picard all it would have to be like is this. You could even skip the first bit if you didn’t want to waist money. Now get ready for my writing skills

Q appears with cgi using to look younger

Q: oh mon capitaine, how time has effected you. I just feel bad

Picard: Q what are you doing here *mean comment to mask his love*

Q: no worry’s I’m Q. I wouldn’t want you feeling envious

Q snapes his fingers he now looks like John de lancies current age. All is well. They kiss or something idk
