when the annoying omnipotent being that's weirdly obsessed with you won't stop talking about his odd and romantic fantasies about you in front of all your co-workers...

What if Q never got his powers back and ended up surviving within an inch of his life from the calamarain attacks?

I wonder how Q would deal with his life as a mortal, we never got to see the extent of how this would effect him. Would he feel any type of guilt for what he has done to the crew of the enterprise over the years? Would him being human change anything at all? What’ll happen with him in the aftermath? Would he stay on the enterprise if that’s even possible? If not, where would he go? What would he do? He has no identity outside of being a Q.

What’s so bizarre about him is that once he is rendered mortal, he isn’t just loosing his abilities but also himself and his role in the universe. He is an entity that has existed for billions of years, seen things no mortal ever has or ever will see. We can’t truly fathom his experiences nor will we truly understand what it would be like for him to stay human. How would it be possible for him to retain any ounce of sanity in the long run?

Q is already an incredibly weak minded individual, simply because he lacks a great deal of empathy which is integral to the human experience. I liked that the show decided to have Data be his escort throughout the episode. In many ways they are very similar. They’re both not truly human yet they display behaviors and habits that could be seen as human. Data wants to be human, Q is forced to become one. Unlike Q, Data is able to understand empathy even though he can’t feel it. Q doesn’t understand empathy, or at least not in a traditional sense, yet he feels it. He felt it when Data saved him, the look of shame and guilt was plastered all over his face as he admitted to Picard that he wouldn’t have done the same if the roles were reversed.

I think he shows a more pathetic part of the human experience. He isn’t a narcissist, he isn’t anti-social, he is an individual that is capable of understanding but only does so when he is forced to. This applies to him as a Q as well. Its why I think he is so fixated on Picard. He’s the only one who has challenged his understandings and won, not with power, not with status, not with age, but with words. Most characters in the show doesn’t bother with Q and his antics because they view him as an evil jester. This is especially true in Star Trek Voyager. But Picard understands that beyond Q’s performances, lies a very curious entity who desires to know more while already knowing everything.
