John de Lancie is returning to play Q in Star Trek: Picard, so Kayla, Brian, and Jared take a look back at this iconic character from Star Trek: The Next Generation and peer forward to imagine how he might fit into the new TV show. Will the immortal Q return as an older man, mocking Picard? Will he and Guinan make jazz hands at each other once again? We speculate about this and much more on the latest Shuttlepod!

John de Lancie is a talented and charismatic actor. He does a great job as Q.
Well from the shots from the set, it looks like Q is throwing them through to alternate timelines, certainly temporal war-ish. Not a fan of those as it’s a bit like ‘we can do what we want in this universe and get away with it’
Very delighted to see Q return. I met DeLancie when I was 8 years old at one of the first Trek cons in Florida during TNG’s first season (I believe he was the show’s biggest guest). My father and I were photographed with him for the local paper.
He was always a fan favorite after that, and I eagerly awaited his appearances each season.
I wish people would stop saying that the Picard series is the more “mature” series. I understand that’s how it’s branded, but with regard to tackling high concepts, and with it’s execution, it’s childish compared to TNG. Someone stated this earlier, and it would be a bit meta, but probably worth the time if Q put Picard on trial over the first season of Picard.
Q: You will now answer to the charge of being a grievously savage race.
Picard: ‘Grievously savage’ could mean anything. I will answer only specific charges.
Q: Ripping out Icheb’s eye while he’s alive without anesthetic.
Picard: Uhhh, yup. That’s pretty savage.
Q: Condoning the enslavement of Androids on Mars after fighting for their rights 30 years earlier.
Picard: Uhhh, yup. You got me there too.
Paramount should sell the franchise to Netflix or Disney. The end.
