30 day Star Trek/Wars challenge day 5: Talking Q

Welcome to the 30 day challenge of May, which sees a return to two of the most iconic things in pop culture, to say nothing of Science Fiction, namely Star Trek and Star Wars. Throughout this month some prompts will be general and apply to both franchises, while others will be Trek/Wars specific, as indicated.

Today we discuss another all-powerful, mysterious figure, namely the Star Trek Entity of “Q”. Debuting as a lone nigh omnipotent figure eventually a whole race of “Qs” was introduced, and Q became a recurring figure going forward.

For today, discuss What makes Q work -or not- to you? What about Qs, plural? Sound off below.

Bonus prompt: What’s the best stories with Q?

Extra Bonus prompt: How powerful should Q be – should there even be limits?

Kelvin Timeline Bonus prompt: How should Q be handled forward, if used at all?
