Q displays a very in-depth understanding of the functions of the universe. This scene is probably the best example of how his omnipotence actually works. He doesn’t just dream up a Mariachi band. He constructs human beings of Mexican origins from the atoms level up, plants the mental path ways in their brains to both know how to play and play for him, constructs them and his own avatar to appear on the bridge of the enterprise at the same time, with their instruments and starts playing. It’s why Picard saying to Q he isn’t God because the universe is not so poorly designed is bullsh-t. And why scientific explanations of how the universe works can disprove the existence of God (Not saying I believe but it’s impossible to disprove) because any all knowing, all powerful being is capable of not only designing the universes functions down beyond the atom level to work perfectly, but to make it appear naturally occurring and self sustaining as well. It also ties into the Q provoking humanity to evolve not by their technology, but opening their minds to new possibilities and improving themselves and their understanding of the world around them. They’ve seen the blueprints for creation, and can make changes on a whim.
"I've never eaten before.... what should I order?" "Well, counselor Troi orders chocolate.... it seems to have a pleasing effect." "I want 10 chocolate sundaes." _turns to Data_ "I'm in a terrible mood... and besides, since I've never eaten before I might be quite hungry."
I don't remember where, but I am sure it has been mentioned at least once that replicated food is nutritionally balanced, so you can eat literally anything and get exactly the right amount of nutrition without overbearing differences in taste. Certain food items are often remarked as being noticeably different from non-replicated goods (such as alcohol) but are overall near perfect replicas.
I really like how they wrote Q. He's kind of a villain, but he has his moment. The gift he gave Data at the end of one episode (was it this one?) was the sweetest thing ever and there's so many moments where he's both a dick and funny. I like him.
Well Q has control of time too. God knows how many times he's screwed up by doing that and forces a do-over. Probably why the Continuum got upset... well, part of the long list. Redoing time like that must be equivalent to you using the hot water while they're in the shower.

....... McCOY?! HAH! They'd probably get drunk on Tennessee whisky. It's such a shame though..... I think Q and McCoy would've been so much fun to see together.
Funny thing: the gravitational constant of the universe has a very high margin of error. It is the least well known fundamental constants of the universe. Also concepts like dark matter would be obsolete if we could presume the gravitational constant not to be constant at every place (which itself is a dubious assumption) So, Q playing around with the gravitational constant could explain all this.
Everything is constant unless somthing is manipulating it. Gravtational force is not even constant across the face of the Earth. It is known that Gravity is affected by mass (or created by it) through the distortion in space caused by mass. Dark matter simply accounts for the distortions in places where we cannot detect matter. The gravitational constant is the extent to which space is altered by mass.
If you understood what you are/this is you would whine also. It's hardly believable that any beings would live in such a manner under such a rigged environment for futility. What Hawking was worried about when an advanced race of beings found this planet wake up look around please.
I always had fun imagining what Dr. Crusher would think of one of us if we were somehow able to enter their universe in the future. I could imagine her abject horror at seeing my middle-aged (youngish for them) collapsing discs, healed fractures and breaks from a life of working. In her report to Picard she'd tell him that ancient Terrans were incredibly tough, how she couldn't imagine the pain but how it felt 'normal' to me, and that there were several issues of degradation that she was able to fix that in my time would have required what she'd consider 'medieval surgery' under the knife.
That was the original plan for the third Star Trek movie, but then, they stuck Q in Voyager. The Nemesis was originally supposed to be connected to Tasha Yar and wind that story up, too.
I vote "no" on getting more Q, I think the show had more than enough of him. I vote "maybe" on Peter David; I like some of the stuff he did with characters like the Hulk in comics, but I don't recall any of his Star Trek credits, and the main thing I know of him doing TV-wise is a fairly crappy episode of Babylon 5 (and there aren't many of those).
@@EnvisionerWill David wrote some entertaining STNG novels, which were much better than the Hollywood movies. But then he wrote them for true fans, not to satisfy some studio executives.
Q: Jean-Luc, I've just been through a horrid experience. I felt some kind of sickening pressure in my lower body. After I sat down, it was almost as if some kind of demon...burst out from my body! It was...wretched and foul smelling! Picard: You ate something before that, didn't you? Q: ...Was that...extraction?! Picard: [smirks and nods] Q: How disgusting! At least I can give humanity one complement. Any chair can take care of that mess. Picard: Wait. You mean you didn't do this in a lavatory? Q: No! I happened right in 10 forward.

@@Appiration To be fair Discord and Q are basically the same being as confirmed by the actor and show makers, funny to think that Discord is just the Pony universe version of Q.
@@DeathlordSlavik I always felt that Discord was Q who would just jump between both universes to entertain himself with his antics towards both Starfleet and the Mane 6 at his leisure.
Having had the exact kind of back trouble he's experiencing it is actually that painful, you bend down then go to bend back up and everything just LOCKS in your back, embarrassing too.
If by some quirk of the universe there are omnipotent beings and they're made to inhabit human bodies above the age of 35 against their will, I guarantee they will not be spared backpain.
Gravity is arguably not real anyway. More like a by-product of another force. Gravity is a VERY weak force in the universe. If you had a ten pound ball, you could pick it up in spite of the entire planet pulling on it. Imagine if that ball was made of iron and the planet was a magnet, could you pick it up? Gravity is a very weak force.
Basic knowledge of the physic of an orbital trajectory helps a lot too. At least a lot more than nitpicking about mass vs. gravity constant. Long story short change one or the other => problem solved.
Of course , Q forgot that changing the Gravitational constant of the Universe by the most infinitesimal number would lead all Matter to essentially cease to be .
I haven't watched it myself yet, but the latest series has Picard and Q becoming good friends. There's one scene that will make you cry like a little schoolgirl.

I can't believe his range is from Q to Breaking Bad.
What a fantastic actor.
I can't believe his range is from Q to Breaking Bad to My Little Pony.
What a fantastic actor.
@@Appiration To be fair Discord and Q are basically the same being as confirmed by the actor and show makers, funny to think that Discord is just the Pony universe version of Q.
Don't forget StarGate SG-1. He was an evil NID Colonel.
@@DeathlordSlavik I always felt that Discord was Q who would just jump between both universes to entertain himself with his antics towards both Starfleet and the Mane 6 at his leisure.
Worf missed the ideal chance to get his revenge and swep the floor with Q for all his insults.
Having had the exact kind of back trouble he's experiencing it is actually that painful, you bend down then go to bend back up and everything just LOCKS in your back, embarrassing too.
Love this episode.
A black hole passing through the solar system would do a lot worse than knocking one moon out of orbit, but oh well.
i feel like q when i explain "Mirror Touch Synestesia" to the people without it
Q first time taking a shit will no doubt be an eye opening experience.
Depending on how bad it is, your eyes will be opening.
If by some quirk of the universe there are omnipotent beings and they're made to inhabit human bodies above the age of 35 against their will, I guarantee they will not be spared backpain.
Well, in this episode we saw Q hungry, tired and dealing with back spasms. It’s always made me wonder how he dealt with bathroom issues
As someone with back spasms, I wish it were that easy to fix.
The sarcasm is dripping from dr crusher lol
Changing gravity doesn't change mass. Only how matter interacts
That's what they're trying to do - change how matter interacts.
Gravity is arguably not real anyway. More like a by-product of another force. Gravity is a VERY weak force in the universe. If you had a ten pound ball, you could pick it up in spite of the entire planet pulling on it. Imagine if that ball was made of iron and the planet was a magnet, could you pick it up? Gravity is a very weak force.
@@cadengrace5466 But our planet IS a magnet.
@@CoyoteSeven Difference between an electro-magnetic field and a magnetic substance.
Basic knowledge of the physic of an orbital trajectory helps a lot too. At least a lot more than nitpicking about mass vs. gravity constant. Long story short change one or the other => problem solved.
🤣1:21 Data: "Jordi is trying to say that changing the gravitational constant of the universe is beyond our capabilities." 🤣
Q is more fun without his powers!😁
You redefine gravity by moving an object where it is light and tilting it a different way... Lever
I’m currently watching this episode and it came up in my suggested lol
Of course , Q forgot that changing the Gravitational constant of the Universe by the most infinitesimal number would lead all Matter to essentially cease to be .
I bet you most Americans don't know what the gravitational constant of the universe is
Truth is q is a nice guy at heart.
2:08 Q was not unaware that isn't a good idea to piss off someone who is attending to your wound otherwise they may be less gentle in treating it.
I haven't watched it myself yet, but the latest series has Picard and Q becoming good friends. There's one scene that will make you cry like a little schoolgirl.
1:09 Loved Data's wtfrig? face 😂.
Reminders of the difference in god-like powers... omnipotent does not automatically mean omniscient.
and intellectually knowing is not the same as experiencing it
I love how she's so annoyed at Q, it's funny. They all know what he's done before while on board.
"Your bedside manner is admirable, Doctor. I am sure your patients recover quickly just to get away from you!"
LMAO
2:40 It was in fact she, who was hungry on that day...
I think that it was this episode that towards the end that when Q left he had given Data the ability to laugh!
Omnipotence to mortal. A good idea is a good idea.
I need a *meme* that says, "Maybe you're hungry" a thousand times. Very interesting inflection, Dr. Crusher. Let's hear it again: 2:38 (Thumbs up if this becomes a meme)
That sounds less like a meme and more like an ASMR video, probably a good one.
Wait, what is she doing with a hypospray at 2:00? looks like she is massaging him with it o.O
its not a hypospray, its emitting a beam at the muscle
And we actually sort of have that now! Laser therapy is used to stimulate healing and blood flow to muscles/joints/ligaments, it’s Very cool.
@@aplant9980 i got that therapy around 1990, it's been around for a while.
@2:39, here is a custom from Earth, it's called a Snickers bar.
2:28 the pain is below his stomach and he is hungry for red heads
The Q seem to be all powerful. But apparently they aren't all knowing. Lol. If they were, Q would know the ins and outs of being human.
Can we PLEASE have a Q and Emperor Palpatine buddy film?
I don't think that Q would like Palpatine much.
