Q playing God

[KendrixTermina]

LOL

[coolwatch26]

Hell John Luke I am God deal with it LOL

[SirRoland64]

Where was Q when Star Trek 5 took place???

[SmashingGreen]

Q doesnt play god. Q is a god.

[IdylwildSoftworks]

Q and Picard holding hands? WHHHAAAAAT?

[Netan93]

The universe isn't that badly designed

best comeback line ever

[thelinkinparkfan504]

I bet when Picard saw Q he was like "OH COME ON!"

[EpicFunkey]

-coughdiscordcough-

[Batmaaaan23]

Only Morgan Freeman may play God.

[cleanhomer]

@Batmaaaan23 Him AND Seth MacFarlane. :)

[SamhainTheDark]

"Welcome to the afterlife, Jean Luc. You're dead."

Well, I don't see why you have to be so glum about it. I mean if I'm--WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­T?

[WilliamHoldenfan]

"This is the afterlife...and I'm God!"LOL.This episode always makes me laugh.Plus there's some great Picard/Q scenes.

[horaciosi]

I love the way Q said "and i'm god"

[KinaNafasi]

I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you. The universe is not so badly designed. hahahahhaah

[AuraHero]

"Welcome to the afterlife, Jean-Luc. You're dead."

Way to be blunt, Q.

[cleanhomer]

One of the biggest & oldest challenges to the idea of God's existence- or God's goodness, anyway- is: if God is so good, then why doesn't he stop all the bad things from happening? Well, Q could also stop the Borg from existing, but they don't. Why? Could they be malevolent, or could they more likely know than we do about the scheme of things, and find it's better to let the Borg- and bad things- to happen.

[sirdoccy]

Welcome to the afterlife Jean-Luc...You're dead!

[deathcatg]

1:23, So Picard believes in intelligent design.

[JesterSentinelZ]

Q is wearing what we call "tapestry"

[Stardweller1]

You know, in a way, Q is a god.

[gothatway09]

@Stardweller1 To be God you have to be omnipotent (can do anything), omniscient (knows everything), and omnipresent (exists everywhere). Q is omnipotent, but he clearly IS NOT ominiscient or omnipresent.

[Millstone1985]

@gothatway09 On the other hand, an omnipotent being could just wish himself into omniscience and omnipresence.

But Q isn,'t truly omnipotent anyway. The Q as a species could be, though.

[Onifos]

@gothatway09 Quite wrong. Such Christian limitations of the concept.

[Colp2]

@gothatway09 Being omnipotent requires one to be omniscient and omnipresent, and the other way around... they are all depending on eachother

[randomface54]

"The universe is not so badly designed" Possibly the greatest put-down in history.

[Golkarian]

It would be funny if some super Trek nerd had a near death experience and thought they saw Q

[bwzamie]

Man, a certain time-lord needs to come up and smack his ass.

The Q's would be more scared of the doctor then the eternals were of the Time-Lords.

[katakisLives]

@bwzamie I don't see what the Doctor could do against Q he's virtually omnipotent!

[bwzamie]

@katakisLives

So were the Eternals. ('Virtually' being the key-words, as neither are actually omnipotent)

The Time-lords really kicked their asses.

[katakisLives]

@bwzamie The episodes that feature Q characters seem to imply that there's virtually no limit to what they can do! What could the Doctor do against a being that can change the laws pf physics by sheer will alone! they don't need devices or a Tardis to travel though time! Q is like the beyonder! he could probably destroy the planet the doctor was standing on with a single thought!

[bwzamie]

@katakisLives

They're not completely omnipotent though.(Can be stripped of their powers or casted out of the continuum)

The time-lords are pretty hax themselves,they can reject 'God-Like' being's manipulations with Transduction barriers,especially if they have the Eye of Harmony (Their Infinity Gauntlet basically).The Eternals were Q level yet the Time-Lords smited them.

Q is strong, but this is the doctor we're talking about.

It's more like Reed Richards Vs The Beyonder,could go either way.

[CamDemon]

Gee, Discord sure does look strange in a white suit.

[mynameismatt2010]

Q isn't god, but the continuum is..

[waldoman7]

how humiliating must it be for Q that a lowly being like Picard actually LAUGHS at the notion of Q being god?

[Stardweller1]

"The universe is not nearly so badly designed!" Can there possibly be a better rebuttal to someone's claiming to be God?

[gentrelane]

Q and Godstiel should go on a playdate.

[thefoodfoodfood]

Only two actors can ever play the role god well.

Morgan Freeman and John de Lancie

[3473firewolf]

Ponies brought me here

[femoman]

@3473firewolf Ditto

[bluehaxor88]

@3473firewolf How is this related to ponies?!

Don't get me wrong, I'd love if two great series had some kind of connection, but I just don't see it...

[chesterdjester]

@bluehaxor88

One of the characters in My Little Ponys voiced by Q

[bluehaxor88]

@chesterdjester O.o

You know, I *knew* Discord's voice sounded familiar! Just didn't put it together that Discord was Q...

That comic with Discord patting Picard now makes so much more sense.

[MangaSt]

@chesterdjester Non only voice... Discord IS Q XD

[DannyEastes]

@3473firewolf You poor, poor soul.

[SomeKindaSpy]

@3473firewolf; The FIMFiction story Human, brought me here.

[Jumpybeaver]

0:30 HAHA!

[BlueTeamPlayer]

Even in death picard doesn't get a break.

[smcneal057]

TNG without Q would have sucked.

[aangandtoph4ever]

I would totally nerd out if I saw Q at the pearly gates. "Oh my gods" and everything.

[narukofan2]

@aangandtoph4ever yeah most people would never expect seeing Q at the Pearly Gates due to most people thinking they will see an old man with a really long white beard standing in front of the Pearly Gates to greet them.

[xbox644]

Q? He should be named cock instead

[Crucifier61]

"You're Dead." Such wonderful words from GOD, aka Q...

[mtb416]

The Q episodes are always great.

[ryubaks]

What about Q from Street Fighter 3: Third Strike? He could be God, which would explain why he's so mysterious.

[TheRealDerfMan]

"Your lucky I don't cast you our or smite you or something...." lol

"...the universe is not so badly designed..." rofl....!!!

[fpm1979]

Picard’s worst nightmare has just become reality: Sharing eternity with Q.

[solocitizen]

@fpm1979 I thought that would be being a pony AND sharing eternity with Q

[cleanhomer]

@fpm1979 Even worse than being Locutus of Borg?

[legendary7708]

All Hail The ALmighty Q! hehe

[faetrn]

Blasphemy. You're lucky I don't cast you out, or smite you, or something.

XD I love Q.

[stsars13]

If Q is who he thinks he is...then Santa is my uncle....XD

[PointsofData]

@stsars13 And I'm the Queen of England.

[rjd071983]

@PointsofData FYI, the last Queen of England was Queen Anne of Great Britain (along with being Queen of France, Ireland and Scotland). Elizabeth II is queen of 16 countries, one of which is the UK, which consists of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Just so you know! :)

[Aitamen]

Lines like these are the reason I love TNG.

Trekkie forever!

[randomface54]

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!

[michaelhviper]

The universe is not so poorly designed.

[EntinludeX]

The Q does not play god. The Q are god.

[xchanticochulox]

@EntinludeX no the Q are the guardians of the universe they use to be like the human race. That is something Q said himself.

[EntinludeX]

@xchanticochulox And you'd trust what Q said...about itself.. because they've been so honorable and forthright in the past?...

[Aloradelyda]

When I die I wanna be greeted with "your lucky I didn't cast you out or smite you or something..."

[Aloradelyda]

It's Beverley's fault. She dun goof'd

[smcneal057]

The universe is not so badly designed...

Picard if only you knew.

[va3atc]

At least if Q is god, the afterlife won't be boring!

[creativerez]

trolled!

[LtSurge659]

Might not be all bad if Q was God lol

[faetrn]

@wwwtotalitaerde  Damned Germans. XD

[wwwtotalitaerde]

@faetrn In this case you want to check out channel 18BND88 on German snitchers abroad.

[NickeyWhitfield]

I think the title is misleading ... Q and the continuum is a representation of what a lot of people believe to be God or anything supernatural.

[largelysubatomic]

Yea this rules, its one of my favorite Q scenes

[SteveSabbai]

...I wonder if the Q continuum believe in God?...

[largelysubatomic]

@SteveSabbai on several occasions John de Lancie's Q clearly indicates that he, at least, doesn't

[FreeworldJTP]

@SteveSabbai they shouldnt because the Q didnt come into existence the Q have always been they are omnipotent and immortal and there are an infinite number of them thats why the inhabit infinite dimensions in the continuum

[smcneal057]

Picard if only you knew how badly designed the universe really is.

[hypnodance]

Did Jean-Luc actually chuckle when he said, "You are not God!"?

[Sage2000]

@hypnodance

Yes, Patrick is a wonderfull actor.... so is Jonh Lancy

[OlafurNeal]

You're lucky I don't smite you or something. ROFLOL!!!!

[3wheels3souls]

Any one else laugh when he said "Your DEAD"... and I'm GOD"

[MsTwinkle101]

O_o This should be a WTF boom!! XD

[nothinbuthax]

0:39

WTFFFFFFFF

[digitalwarfares]

@nothinbuthax I guess you're "WTF"ing about the pause and the blackout. That was a commercial break just after Q reveals that John Luc is dead.

[nothinbuthax]

@digitalwarfares Ah I was wondering that also, thanks!. But at 0:39 WTF sums up picard's thinking. :P

[CoruptedCorupter]

lol, "You're lucky I don't cast your out, or smite you or something".

[IMWEARINFEET]

Blasphemy. Your lucky I dont cast you out, or smite you or something. lol I <3 and hate Q :D

[TheGuyAlwaysOnTime]

"Post-mortal-status" priceless :D

[stlfatman]

If there is indeed a Heaven and God, that's exactly how I want to be greeted - "Welcome to the afterlife. You're DEAD."

XD

[RASteventon]

"I refuse to believe that the afterlife is run by you; the universe is not so badly designed."

A perfect encapsulation of my feelings about bible fundamentalist theology.

[chessdawgz]

Yes! Same here!

[dwellceller]

@RASteventon What is 'bad' ?

[Washu73]

He's not God, he's just a very naughty boy.

[LeeroyFan101]

"You're lucky I don't cast you or smite you ... or something"

LOL!

[Tigerman1138]

@LeeroyFan101 CLASSIC Q!

[iselldummysmacks]

YOU ARE NOT GOD!!! ROFL!!!

[sk3matix101]

@iselldummysmacks lol thas wuh im saying..im really surprised this isnt Meem'd up

[dwellceller]

Where's the episode "Far Q" ?

[JoeDSileo1988]

"Your dead, this is the afterlife, and im God!" - Q

[jar0fdirt63]

why is this titled "Q playing God?"

q IS god!

[CynicalVision]

@jar0fdirt63

Q Isn't god, he is just a being with powers.

[TheAlonzi]

Demi-ghgod actually, the Q live for eternity and have unlimited powers.. so they technically are gods.

[nicktesla45]

@jar0fdirt63 NO. God is the Absolute but the concept of the Q is fashioned ( by Coincidence) on the Eloihm mentioned in the Bible. They are one and they are many in Conciousness and in power and just like the Eloihm They all live in a Continuim rather than a Planet or a Dimension ! And since the Absolute never interfers with Their activities they are pretty much in control of the whole Fucken Universe ! The Only diffrence is that the Eloihm are not assholes! ha ha ha ha !!

[cmaxO123]

@nicktesla45

Aaaannnddd there goes the funny. Thanks, by giving up a vivid religious description to why Q isn't God, you've singlehandedly killed ALL of the funny in the world. It's like you just took it out back and shot it. We are holding the funeral in Ten Forward later, before proceeding to launch the Funny out the torpedo bay.

[nicktesla45]

@cmaxO123 Well I mean really ! have you ever read the book of Job and how Satan Manipulated "God" into delivering Job into his hands just to prove something to Satan ?! Give me a break! Since when does God have to prove anything to anybody ? Least of all an asshole like Satan ?!! Hey maybe it was Q that went back in time to play "God" with Job ?! ha ha ha Or it was some other Extraterrestrial !! Hey you Never Know . One mans god is another mans ET . Ha ha ha ha

[gguilford72]

@jar0fdirt63

Strictly speaking, he's a god. Since there are other Q.

[whynotbig]

@gguilford72 if he was such as god

[narukofan2]

@jar0fdirt63 exactly and in the Star Trek The Next Generation novel called I, Q it does have Q say "Let there be light."

In the end of the book Q ends up creating the universe by saying "Let there be light."

So in the Star Trek Universe Q is God.

Pretty awesone eh?

[JonathonWilder]

@narukofan2 Q is not God, he is simply a member of an immortal and imnipontant race. (as there is more then one Q)

[MonsuerLePlague]

@jar0fdirt63 Q is god in the same way that Picard is god, to all the more primitive life forms he's visited on his adventures. In other words, he just resembles God in that he is so advanced that he is indistinguishable from a God figure.

[FNGLHR]

@MonsuerLePlague I think that actually happened once in an episode.

[Roadracer987654321]

Q should get a Cameo in Star Trek 12.

Not a Comical scene , a Dramatic ice cold appearance.

Q was a Warning Buoy to what danger can Really Mean.....

[SessHydraxis]

Would that not be a let down? LOL That's like us going, meeting with what we thought was God, only to have Hitler or something step out of the light. LOL

[bahrest]

lol, at the end, hitler steps out of the light *g

[Borgrock11001]

I REFUSE TO BELIVE THE AFTER LIFE IS RUN BY YOU. THE UNIVERSE IS NOT SO BADLY DESIGHNED. LOL i love that episode. Q rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mdennisiii]

"Blasphemy! You're lucky I don't cast you out, or smite you, or something!" I love it! I don't think anyone could have done a better job as "Q".

[acleverboy]

This : "welcome to the afterlife Jean-Luc... you're dead" ... is so awesome!!! :D The way he said it is so cool :)

[737SYLAR737]

Q doesn't play God. Playing is for kids.

[neverping]

I wish i could be received by Q on afterlife.

[737SYLAR737]

LOL me too. You just die, and you arrive in this white area, you see a guy in a white robe coming towards you, he steps out of the light... and it's Q. I would die again just with happiness.

[Aslapacrosstheface]

I'm loving the rampant incalculable blasphemy in this clip :D

[FlirtyNerdd]

that's not what i want to hear when i get into Heaven! "welcome to the afterlife Jean-Luc... you're DEAD!" and my name isn't Jean-Luc

[kanenkitten]

I think St Peter will know who you are when you get there.

[FlirtyNerdd]

i hope so...

[737SYLAR737]

LOL it would have been so much funnier if Q had shouted out that line happily, not so serene, because Q is decidedly NOT serene!

[ExAstris37]

"You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something."

"I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you! The universe is not so badly designed."

brilliant writting and acting.

[KingofKlubs]

It's a shame the writers didnt continue the story of Q's life. Voyager really helped to flesh the character out but then it stopped rather abruptly with Q Junior.

[TheNN]

Picard: Alright Q, then there's only one way to be sure I'm dead. I'm going to ask you a single question.

Q: Oh? And what would that be Jean-Luc?

Picard: What does God, need with a starship?

(Feel free to insert other questions as well, such as "How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop?")

[kmg4]

At 1:13, was the person's first name actually "Cunt"?

[TheNN]

Clint.

[damuschka]

"clint" mabe you need a pair of glasses...

[pattheman777]

"I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you!]

The universe is not so badly designed!"

LOL

[andwii]

I hate how picard doesn't see q as a good omnipotent being he is.

[Haza3666]

He does eventually in the last episode

[sdegroot1]

"Blasphemy!  You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something."

ROFL

[AzraelofLegion]

Lmao, that's just good writing there

[TangomanX2008]

OK, that must be a downer. Getting to the parly gates and seeing Q.

[doomsy]

@TangomanX2008 fuck that shit Q is the party gates son. he can make that damn party.

[JustplainJeremy]

your lucky i don't cast you out or smite you or something

[thePlotmeister]

Oh how I adore this episode. And Q! :)

[Choken1]

When I first saw an episode with Q (I think it was where he summoned a mariachi band) I thought he was a former crew member who had, for some reason, gained god like powers. That was the only logical conclusion I had why someone so powerful would be fooling around with Picard and his crew.

I was much younger at the time and my English wasn't 100% at the time. I now know the whole Q story.

[ramzahnY]

Blasphemy... lol

[vinkie35]

@ramzahnY THIS.... IS..... STAR TREK!!!!!

[weinmj]

@ramzahnY your lucky i don't cast you out or smite you or something XD

[Imilko]

The universe is not so badly designed rofl.

[RichNice30]

@Imilko Greatest backhanded compliment ever!

[alexfanx]

An interesting Star Trek episode would be were a member of the Q continuum acts as a God for the people of a certain planet or perhaps even in Earth's past.

[kmg4]

See 'Who Watches the Watchers', where Picard gets worshipped as a god, against his wishes.

[wagnerologist1984]

No. Q is more like a fictional character from a television program played by an actor, kind of like that.. *cough* DORKS! *cough*

[JamesTBond007]

Nothing wrong with escaping into a little fiction every now and then.

[89CrazyPersons]

You can say that about EVERY SINGLE ficticious film and series.

That's why it's fiction, ideas that arnt real that could be.

Get over yourself and just admit that your a self repressing Star Trek fan.

[mischevious3]

XD I pictured that too

[Phynkesia]

"I refuse to believe the afterlife is run by you. The Universe is not so badly designed!"

Ah, that was brilliant!

[kevlonk]

"It's as I told you, Jean-Luc. You're dead, this is the afterlife, and I'm God."

"You're not God."

"Blasphemy. You're lucky I don't cast you out or smite you or something."

[mischevious3]

I know beautiful right? XD

[Leto2ndAtreides]

LOL

[starlinej]

"rofl you are not god"

[firewop]

Q always reminded me of the bible original description of satan, the one who acusses mankind

[shurednichso]

There are much better books to read.

Like "The Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy" by C. Denn
