Q's retort make me laugh the hardest. Riker's reaction makes me wonder if it was an improvised line. But then that would suggest that Q's clap back was also improvised.
I chuckle when I see this episode the quickest tongue and sharpest retorts met only by a sneer and threat of bodily harm. Really the chemistry between them is chefs kiss 😘!

I always found the dynamic between Worf and Q intriguing. Q could easily do away with him if he wanted, but he knew exactly which buttons to push to get him angry. Worf.. well he's just Worf. He never took any unnecessary barbing and he wasn't going to make Q the exception.
I actually suspect that the Q may have something like the Prime Directive or at least a firm rule when it comes to simply killing lower species. I have never seen Q directly slay someone. Annoy them, torture them, put them in lethal situations, but never outright use his powers to kill.
"Drink not with thine enemy -- the rigid Klingon code." During the Klingon Civil War we saw the exact opposite of this. Of course, that was all among fellow Klingons, so maybe it's like Rule of Acquisition 17 -- drink not with thine enemy, unless the enemy is a Klingon.
Worf always followed an ideal that pretty much no other Klingon bothered with. It's like someone trying to follow bushido or chivalry in the modern era completely oblivious to the fact that few if any from those eras actually followed that crap.
@@InfernosReaper I like this idea. I think because Worf grew up around humans, his idea of what it is to be a Klingon is based on 'old school scripture' as it were; probably gleaning most of his information from the Federation's history with the Empire and whatever details of Klingon society they taught in schools. So he kind of represents the 'orthodox' Klingon, while most modern Klingons follow a much more non-orthodox way that probably eschews things like "Drink not with thine enemy," leading Worf to proclaim with shock: "You drink with our enemies!?"
@@SJReid82 yep, all while forgetting that when that war is over, those who survive will be brothers once more so no need to take the vitriol into off hours.
Word got the last laugh knowing that the sisko (the one captain that gave him most respect) punched Q right in the kisser and never had to deal with him again.
@@koalabrownie I don’t see why they wouldn’t, since the Qs are godlike and this Q is so openly arrogant. It feels more fitting, and not unfitting for the Romulans. Though I guess his other appearances in Voyager can make an explanation for it.
Q: “What must I do to convince you people [that I’m only human]???” Warf: “Die!” Q: “Oh very clever Worf, eat any good books lately?!” Quite possible my favorite exchange in all of TV… 😂🤣😂
@@spaghettitime3263 true, he stands for honor, loyality and rules and he always gets fucked up because of it :-D He is like the Starks from GoT and in the end he dont even get the girl.
I think its awesome that an old human 21st Century soldier uniform eventually became one of the more standard uniforms of the Romulan Empire later........at least the material used in its manufacture - its the same, the little grey tiles!!
Im not sure if Worf ever told Sisko about how much of a pain in the ass Q was and how Picard was the only thing keeping him from tearing him in half but I like to think it's the reason he absolutely destroyed him in the bar fight at Quarks
just saying if that was Kirks enterprise when he brought the "fantasy women" onto the bridge im pretty sure it would have been the biggest orgy in star fleet history.
It's too bad Worf wasn't in season 2 of Picard, or Q in season 3 of Picard... Honestly I wish that Q had been throughout season 3, to witness the "final" encounter between Picard and the Borg, it would be one of the few things to make it better
Q and Worf, the best of friends and always there for each other.....
🤣
Kind of a shame that Q and Micro Brain never appeared in DS9 at the same time.
Q: "What must I do to convince you people?!"
Worf: "Die."
This still kills me every time.
Riker's reaction really sells it. 😁
Rikers reaction kills me 🤣😂

And Picard's.

"oh very clever Worf, eat any good books recently?" Is absolutely one of my favorite lines
I chuckle when I see this episode the quickest tongue and sharpest retorts met only by a sneer and threat of bodily harm. Really the chemistry between them is chefs kiss 😘!
Worf's quote, 'Die', is one of the best one word one-liners in T.V. history.
The way Riker looks up at him is absolutely perfect as well
"Eat any good books lately?" is an amazing insult
Lol yes
After "Die", it was a firecracker after a photon torpedo.
I’m not Klingon but a snarling fishnet clad women on all fours is fine by me. Move over worf
I really wish that scene had lasted longer.
I'm not the kinky type, but I have to wonder at Picard's disdain. What ever happened to not being judgmental about how consenting adults have fun?
@@joeschembrie9450 LaForge was the one who found it weird but that's also coming from a guy who forms an emotional bond with holograms while the ship is being destroyed, so...
I would push Worf out of the way grab that woman by the hair and say "let's go You got your work cut out for you"
@@highlander723cringe
You’re missing the best quote of all: I am NOT a merry man!
Also, I love how disappointed Worf was when Q snapped away those women.
... while smashing Geordi's lute against a tree. 🤣
I was expecting him to say that here...only to get disappointed
@@ytechnology”sorry”
classic Animal House reference by them
I always found the dynamic between Worf and Q intriguing. Q could easily do away with him if he wanted, but he knew exactly which buttons to push to get him angry. Worf.. well he's just Worf. He never took any unnecessary barbing and he wasn't going to make Q the exception.
And Q enjoyed every minute of it.
He's his second favorite person to poke at after Picard
@Chris Stetsko that's because he doesn't have any friends or hobbies 😂
He's just a lonely space wizard
That's because if Q kills Worf, Worf wins. And Q knows it.
I actually suspect that the Q may have something like the Prime Directive or at least a firm rule when it comes to simply killing lower species. I have never seen Q directly slay someone. Annoy them, torture them, put them in lethal situations, but never outright use his powers to kill.
My favorite lines:
Q: What must I do to convince you people (that I am mortal)?
WORF: Die.
Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
Riker let out a smile, because of everything Q put them through beforehand.
Picard had a hard time not smiling either, but you can see his lip curl.
This was a great answer.
Q wasn't there, but he was responsible for: "Sir, I must protest! I am _not_ a Merry Man!"
"i can't disappear, anymore than you could win a beauty contest."
opens door to reveal a wall of beauty contest trophies
This killed me 😂
Tbf Worf's appearance has changed a lot. Maybe he had work done.
Given that he was mortal (and hence, liable to pain and injury) Q was taking a chance there....
@@christopherdean1326 Old snarky habits die hard
@@Bacxabernot by choice, his makeup changed because someone stole his forehead ridges

It is
Any episode of Jerry Springer is a better love story 😁
I wish people would stop saying this.
Nah, I'm just kidding. Never gets old.
@@ShamrockParticleHave you heard the sad news about Jerry Springer?😢
thats not difficult
Picard: I don't feel like celebrating!
Riker: Hold on... let's not be too hasty.
Worf looked disappointed when those two ladies disappeared...😄
Nah. That was just his Michael Dorn showing. 😏
“…and Microbrain..! Growl for me- let me know you still care~!”
Q was always my favorite character. His episodes on TNG were legend.
Q with the mariachi band is probably my favorite scene in the whole series.
That and the boxing 🥊 match on DS9 and the trial of Quinn on Voyager.
It's amazing how Worf's character and makeup changed over the series.
John de Lancie must've loved playing as Q!
"I don't need your fantasy women"
From the guy that loves a woman from the Holodeck
Hey, it was before the beard
He still doesn't need Q's fantasy women.

"Q" was the greatest Trek character of all time.
“Growl for me, Worf you still care to kill me!” Q
“Die” the absolute best one word line in TV history in my opinion.
“Eat any good books lately?” I love that line.
"Worf! Is THIS your idea of sex???" Lol Geordi and his kink shaming.
I wish I could see bloopers from their moments.
2:07 "Eat any good books lately?" Now that is hilarious right there!! xD
"Eaten any good books lately??"
Best Q line ever. I've remembered it for years.
It pales compared to "Die".
Word got the last laugh knowing that the sisko (the one captain that gave him most respect) punched Q right in the kisser and never had to deal with him again.
Nobody actually fired a phaser at Q. It would have been interesting to see.
But Sisko did punch him in the face.
@@moffant4916 And Guinan stabbed him with a fork...but that probably doesn't count.
@@moffant4916 Make you think that maybe Picard should have let Worf have his way with Q. It seemed to work well for Sisko.
Worf was about to shoot the view screen😹
Geordi showing a lot of judgement for a guy that falls in love with a hologram later.
I’m surprised Q never made any pet jokes for Picard telling Worf to stand down and Worf listening.
He does make the joke about the rug
He makes pet Talaxian jokes on Voyager
The Romulans do that in their introduction. They probably didn't want Q to go that far.
@@koalabrownie I don’t see why they wouldn’t, since the Qs are godlike and this Q is so openly arrogant. It feels more fitting, and not unfitting for the Romulans. Though I guess his other appearances in Voyager can make an explanation for it.
Whether on TNG, or on Voyager - Q stole the scene(s) whenever he was on. Kudos to John de Lancie.
Too bad it took only one episode in DS9 for Sisko to "punch" Q out of that series.
The only one to out do Worf's stolid if barely confined restraint when it comes to Q is when Sisko punches him.
John Sherwood de Lancie, Jr. (born March 20, 1948) is an American actor, best known for his role as Q in various Star Trek series (1987-present).
Worf missed a really good chance to sweep the floor with a human Q, once in a eternity.
Q is right ....humans are ALWAYS suffering!!! Sad but True.
Love how Picard has to regularly tell Worf to not beat the hell out of Q
Q: “What must I do to convince you people [that I’m only human]???”
Warf: “Die!”
Q: “Oh very clever Worf, eat any good books lately?!”
Quite possible my favorite exchange in all of TV… 😂🤣😂
Riker: "I don't need your fantasy women"!
Me: "Uhhh...I mean...if you don't want them... ✋"
Drink not with thine enemy, several episodes later both sides of a battle are in a bar drinking together.
It was a neutral place, where they are not on opposite sides while there, just fellow Klingons.
Worf is the only Klingon that actually cares about Klingon rules
@@spaghettitime3263 true, he stands for honor, loyality and rules and he always gets fucked up because of it :-D He is like the Starks from GoT and in the end he dont even get the girl.
Q must annoy the Enterprise crew, and every other Starfleet officer knows about Q. Q will get recognized on every starship and Starbase.
My head canon is that prior to Picard season 3, Worf was on a self improvement journey because Q tried to make amends and it didn't go over well.
I think its awesome that an old human 21st Century soldier uniform eventually became one of the more standard uniforms of the Romulan Empire later........at least the material used in its manufacture - its the same, the little grey tiles!!
Worf has the scene of Siskio punching him on repeat!
His head ridges have changed a lot through the episodes. Several times.
Q,Q,Q. You always find the right words, with or without your magical power. Keep going buddy!!😀👍💖
Also, evolution of Worfs makeup
Riker without beard is such a shocking sight.
Im not sure if Worf ever told Sisko about how much of a pain in the ass Q was and how Picard was the only thing keeping him from tearing him in half but I like to think it's the reason he absolutely destroyed him in the bar fight at Quarks
I suspect that news of that is at least part of why Worf is intimidated by The Sisko.
@@InfernosReaper I always though it was because Worf saw Sisko's holodeck program where he went by Hawk and carried a Colt Python.
Q is right about fairness. That concept only matters to a species where the Creator treats them all spiritually equal.
1:10 - I feel like I've seen this conversation somewhere before... Oh yeah. This conversation happened later on in Return of Harmony.
Q referred to Data as alive. He is alive because of conciousness. A light, soul, I am.
AI HAS NO SOUL!!!!
just saying if that was Kirks enterprise when he brought the "fantasy women" onto the bridge im pretty sure it would have been the biggest orgy in star fleet history.
Ah, lust. Thy name is Mudd.
Logical.
At 2:52 Wrof was like, oh man I feel like celebrating!
Worf, eat any books lately? 😂😂😂
1:31 - I call dibs! Off to the holodeck! If I’m not back in three hours, send in a mortician.
So funny ❤ watching Q today on STNG and him not winning a beauty contest made me laugh 😂
The look riker gives worf when he says 'die'
When Q said he can't disappear, Worf should have commanded, "Then be quiet.
You weren’t like that before the beard!😂
As Sisko showed though, if you punch Q he'll stop showing up. Maybe Picard should have let Worf pummel him.
Eat any good books lately? XD
I'm gonna steal this one.
Delighted Captain
Q is the greatest. A teacher posing as a trickster buffoon. He must know Yoda.
BE QUIET!!! 😂😂😂
Worf: WHY YOU LITTLE
Worfs original headpiece lol.
I'd say Patrick Stewart would've made a rather ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham.
“Drink not with thine enemy” is a Klingon custom? Kurn doesn’t seem to think so in Redemption.
Q the music.
Microbrain is ok as a nickname but I prefer what he calls Neelix - Bar Rat!😅😅😅
The best one, oh very clever Worf eat any good books lately 😂
The fact that Q was not used in any of the movies is a crime.
The number of times Picard and Riker had to stop Worf from disemboweling some douche.
I wonder how Lore would react if Q called him microbrain!
Imagine if Worf found out Sisko punched Q in the face
Eat any good books lately 😊😊 Worf looks better in Red
Worf has no fear.
1:50 Down, boy!
picards goatee and stache reminds me of the original robin hood errol flynn
Micro brain in a macro head.😂😂😂
2:18 Dissapear
Game respect Game!
they didnt put the scene with them in the turbolift
"Eat any good books lately?" 🤣Decades later and this still makes me laugh every time.
'I don't need your fantasy women.' Kirk would've kept them, those chicks were fine.
Someone needs to write a purity called "Microbrain" to the song Purple Rain
It's too bad Worf wasn't in season 2 of Picard, or Q in season 3 of Picard...
Honestly I wish that Q had been throughout season 3, to witness the "final" encounter between Picard and the Borg, it would be one of the few things to make it better
1:38 lol no place for it what possess you lol
Q became a more likable character towards the end of the series.
I'm just saying, that is also my idea of sex
always hated how they had Worf growl at Q.
Micro-brain! Growl for me so I know you still care
Ol Microbrain
Y'know, Q did have a point...Riker was SO cute before the beard. Total turn-on. He did have a certain charm still after, though.
Tasha Yar.. Yes please
You know worf you'd make an excellent throw rug in nottingham castle .....q was such an Ass... lol
