Then it wouldn't even need to encompass the WHOLE MULTIVERSE, merely the areas those aliens had explored. (I thought earlier that it, as well as the Red Angel could be connected to the Iconians, but this doesn't seem to be the case.) Like it would be their method of travel. Considering that we have already seen the network to be inhabited buy the sentient beings, I would really love if the whole thing would be revealed to be an artificial construct by some super aliens. You said mycelial network could build on concepts of Q etc. I have since assumed that this is case for all such unions, and I am massively annoyed by any plots where there are 'accidental' hybrid babies.īut about the spore drive and super aliens, I want to return to something you said earlier. I was really thrilled when in TNG it was revealed that genetic engineering was required for a human and Klingon to have an offspring. Use your imagination and also strap in for answers that won't be nearly as cryptic as Q.Ĭlick to expand.That indeed is absurd and I never liked it. Some people embrace the mystery of Q while also demanding immediate answers to the spore drive questions. Instead, with a lack of information, you could be the maverick, the challenger to the system, the unifier, etc., and the otherness of it is exciting to some folks.Īs I said early on in the thread, I love mystery - like the mystery of who the Red Angel could be - but eventually we expect there to be answers. When there's a voting record, it gives people something to throw stones at. They "fill in the blanks" based on those hopes. That way, it's easier for voters to imagine you as the very best of their ideals. In politics, people say it's sometimes better to not have a voting record.
Part of me wants to applaud such things that fuel the imagination, and part of me wants to slam lazy writing. Suddenly a shallow character can become one of the most complex ones, simply by virtue of the viewer's imagination, not the content of what's actually seen & heard. It's always fascinated me how people (including myself) fill in the blanks when there's a stark lack of information. This has happened with other random things, too, giving fuel for a great many novels covering all kinds of ST topics. However, I'm sure the writers would be elated to hear your kind words about him.Īfter the fact, we fill in the blanks with our wildest imaginations, creating backstories and concepts that were never there to begin with.
Click to expand.Given that Q was a product of Season 1 TNG, there is zero chance that there was an elaborate backstory behind his character.
