it’s still so funny to me that the borg, by far the most iconic, long-lasting and threatening enemies star trek as a franchise ever had, were introduced on a q episode where he suddenly decided it was time to go bother picard and got rejected yet again, so he sent the enterprise to borg space for the first time with the sole purpose of humbling picard through intimidation enough to get his crush to say the words ‘i need you’ to him. he left this stunt with 18 casualties on his shoulders and kicked off entire seasons worth of plot and spin-offs and iconic oneliners, all solely because he was extra horny for picard that one time. powerful.
I’ve been thinking about my conversation with Q. He admitted that he was responsible for my shifting through time. Now it occurred to me that he might be giving me a chance somehow to save humanity.
Qpid as an episode is just 45 minutes of Q being jealous as hell that Picard is into someone that is so much like him but isn’t actually him

Reuploading Ronald D. Moore saying Q is in love with Picard because
1. i accidentally deleted the original post
2. im petty and want to immortalize it. that’s why its also up on youtube.
you can find this in the 2016 documentary “50 years of star trek”
I made a Qcard gifset a few days ago but for some reason it isn’t showing in the tags, smh
but anyway you can find it here
“The secret to Q was the Q and Picard relationship. Q was in love with Picard, for some reason. That was the underpinning of the relationship, which was why, when he came to Deep Space Nine, he wasn’t as effective a character. The weird love affair that he had going with Jean-Luc made that whole thing work, and it made ‘Tapestry’ work, and ultimately it made 'All Good Things…’ work.” – Ron Moore
q-card:
the Q, as a species, probably have a hard time figuring out what ‘subtle’ means. It’s a cultural thing
