PAUSING ON TRUE Q

I watched True Q tonight, and I think it's interesting that Picard is really calm throughout pretty much the whole episode.

He talks calmly to Q, proceeds to go about his normal captain duties, works with Data in the investigation of Amanda's parents' death, all while knowing that Q is roaming around his ship free as a bird with Amanda, hanging about Beverly's medical lab, causing warp core breaches, etc.

You aren't at least a little bit worried, Picard?

Picard also seems far more collaborative with Q, especially in the "Pals" scene. Why?

Perhaps Picard can tell that Q's focus is not on him, but on poor Amanda?

I also like how Picard is wearing his traditional uniform in the scene when Amanda throws Q across the room, and in the immediate following scene in the Ready Room (Where Q is looking mighty embarrassed, "She's a little spitfire, isn't she?", etc) Picard is wearing his black-shouldered captain's jacket and blue shirt.

A meaningless costume change mistake for the production team, but from a narrative standpoint, it makes me ask, "What did Q and Picard do between the Amanda Q throwing scene and the Ready Room conversation scene?

Did Q sulk somewhere to lick his wounds while Picard went to bed, and they met in Picard's Ready Room the next morning?

Q looked very embarrassed in Picard's Ready Room, twisting his uniform collar, which is a behavioral reaction to something that just happened, like minutes ago.

Sooooo, why did Picard change his clothes?

Again, obviously it's a continuity blooper ☹️, but from a Qcard perspective, maybe Picard finally got to show Q the "compassion" that Q thought he'd get from Picard in Deja Q.

(Jean-Luc, my back hurts bc Amanda threw me against the wall and I hit the vase. Can you...soothe me? In private? In your quarters? Horizontally?)

Dear Trek Team,

Be careful about your little oversights, like costume changes and timings. You could be inadvertently adding to Qcard --unless you meant it that way....

,which you actually do 99% of the time.

Graphics bug: Instead of my ship loading into the DS9 zone, my...avatar loaded. Shoutout to the person who DMed me to let me know it's cool, I can still move it'd just look weird and I'm in my inventory sorting stuff going, "why would moving be an....oh my...what the Q?!?"

So naturally I had to reenact "True Q" on DS9's hull (this scene):

So pretty cool, it lasted while I stayed logged in, in that zone. Didn't see any local chat about my literal exterior excursion, and it apparently crops up every once in a while according to the person who messaged me.

I loved this episode. Amanda was such a sweetie. I felt bad for her because Q was kind of an asshole to her.

But, he was under orders from the Continuum, so my omnipotent darling couldn't really focus on Picard this time.

Notice how there aren't many episodes after this one until Q comes back to be with Picard, though? 😏

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION // S6E6 True Q You have no idea what it means to be Q. With unlimited power comes responsibility. Do you think it is reasonable for us to allow omnipotent beings to roam free through the universe?

ABSOLUTELY! Riker is a gatekeeper to Picard.

because Q wants to be Jean-Luc’s Number One!

You gotta wonder if the Q Continuum's "decision" to not destroy Amanda Rogers wasn't due to the Continuum's godly "mercy" so much as it was because Q had begged or convinced the Continuum to not kill her because he knew that it would've hurt and upset Picard.
