Screen Rant

Every q appearance in star trek tng, ds9, voyager & picard.

Q's one of the best-loved of Star Trek's cosmic beings, and he's appeared in multiple Trek shows, to wildly differing responses from each Captain.

Q (John de Lancie), Star Trek 's omnipotent being has appeared across multiple shows since his debut in the 1987 pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation . Q's strongest connection was with Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart), and it was a relationship that would last for the rest of Q's apparently infinite lifespan. However, Q has also set his sights on other Star Trek leads, from Commander Benjamin Sisko (Avery Brooks) to Ensign Beckett Mariner (Tawny Newsome).

Star Trek: Picard season 3's end credits scene has revealed that Q shows no signs of stopping, despite his apparent death in season 2. With Q now setting his sights on Jean-Luc's son, Ensign Jack Crusher (Ed Speleers), he's set to be a part of Terry Matalas' proposed Star Trek: Legacy show. Here's every Q appearance from "Encounter at Farpoint" to "The Last Generation", which signals the start of a brand-new story for Star Trek 's beloved trickster god.

15 Star Trek: TNG Season 1, Episodes 1 & 2: "Encounter At Farpoint"

Q appeared to Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D during their very first mission. The omnipotent being believed that the human race was not evolved enough for further exploration of the universe. Picard convinced Q that humanity wasn't the " savage child-race " that the cosmic being believed them to be, and used the Farpoint mission to prove it. Realizing that the Bandi were exploiting an alien life form, Picard proved to Q that humanity had reached an evolved state of being, but it was far from the end of humanity's trials.

14 Star Trek: TNG Season 1, Episode 10, "Hide And Q"

Q continued testing humanity by bestowing the powers of the Continuum on Commander William T. Riker (Jonathan Frakes). It was a test of how susceptible humanity is to temptation, as Q is keen for Riker to explore the possibilities that his new powers offer him. Picard bet Q that he would fail to turn Will Riker into one of his own, and while Riker did succumb to temptation by sharing his gifts, he swiftly realized his mistake. The price of the bet was that Q would stay out of humanity's way forever, but Q would very quickly renege on that promise.

13 Star Trek: TNG Season 2, Episode 16, "Q Who"

Ostracized from the Continuum, Q offered to be Picard's guide to the uncharted areas of the galaxy that the Enterprise would soon encounter. Picard understood just how chaotic it would be to have Q aboard as a full-time crew member, and rejected his application. Q petulantly decided to prove just how badly Picard and the Enterprise needed him by propelling them into the Delta Quadrant, into the path of the Borg Collective, setting up their future conflict. It's the most seismic impact that Q has made on the Star Trek universe, and his reckless actions saw him punished in his next Star Trek: The Next Generation appearance.

12 Star Trek: TNG Season 3, Episode 13, "Deja Q"

The first hint of Q's softer side comes in "Deja Q" when he was forced to live as a human after being stripped of his powers and immortality. Expecting this to be another of Q's tests, Picard tentatively agreed to grant the cosmic trickster asylum aboard Enterprise. While there, Q formed a bond with Lt. Commander Data (Brent Spiner), whom he dubbed " professor of the Humanities ". Q and Data's bond was so strong that the mortal Q risked his life to save the android. This selfless act was enough to convince the Continuum that Q had learned his lesson, and his powers and immortality were returned to him.

11 Star Trek: TNG Season 4, Episode 20, "Qpid"

In a storyline that foreshadows Q's Star Trek: Picard season 2 story , "Qpid" sees the trickster god become involved in Jean-Luc's love life. Creating an elaborate take on the legend of Robin Hood, Q set out to teach Picard about love, after detecting romantic tension between Jean-Luc and the archaeologist Vash (Jennifer Hetrick). Over the course of Q's lesson, he too became fascinated with Vash, and ultimately offered her the chance to travel with him. While Jean-Luc was put out by Q seducing the object of his desire, he insisted that the omnipotent trickster ensure Vash's safety.

10 Star Trek: TNG Season 6, Episode 6, "True Q"

Q returned to the Enterprise during the strange case of Amanda Rogers (Olivia d'Abo), a human being who manifested Q powers. It transpired that her biological parents were a male and female Q who left the Collective to live life as human beings. They were tracked down by the Collective and executed, leaving Amanda an orphan. It was only when Amanda began an internship on the Enterprise with Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) that she learned her true origins. Q eventually convinced Amanda to join the Collective when she used her powers to save the life of Riker and his away team on Tagra IV.

9 Star Trek: DS9 Season 1, Episode 7, "Q-Less"

In one of many examples of Benjamin Sisko and Jean-Luc Picard's differences, Q and Sisko did not like each other. Q arrived aboard Deep Space Nine to try and win back Vash, who he'd left stranded in the Gamma Quadrant. After the discovery of the wormhole, Vash was brought to DS9 where the archaeologist attempted to sell some of the artifacts she'd unearthed in the Gamma Quadrant. Q's presence aboard DS9 caught the attention of Sisko, who had no time for his games. After being punched in the face by DS9's commanding officer, Q decided that Sisko was too easy to provoke and left the station, never to return.

8 Star Trek: TNG Season 6, Episode 15, "Tapestry"

When Jean-Luc briefly died on the operating table in sickbay, Q appeared to him as God, ushering Picard into the afterlife. To save Picard's life in the present, Q offered him the chance to change his fate, by avoiding the bar brawl that resulted in the installation of his defective artificial heart. Picard accepted his second chance, only to find himself back in the present where he was still a junior lieutenant. This made Jean-Luc realize that he wouldn't be captain of the Enterprise without first being the headstrong risk-taker whose recklessness had got him stabbed in the heart by a Nausicaan.

7 Star Trek: The Next Generation Finale, "All Good Things"

Q returned for Star Trek: The Next Generation 's final test of humanity, which was designed to find out if they were capable of understanding advanced temporal concepts. The test saw Jean-Luc Picard split across past, present, and future to investigate a temporal anomaly that was expanding backward through time. Thanks to Q's gentle hints, Picard solved the problem and saved humanity from its own destruction. There was also the underlying suggestion that Q was also teaching Picard about the value of having a trusted crew of friends in each time zone, further evidence of the trickster's sensitive side.

6 Star Trek: Voyager Season 2, Episode 18, "Death Wish"

Q's meddling with Starfleet's best and brightest didn't end with Jean-Luc and the crew of the Enterprise, or his aborted attempt to befriend Sisko. Instead, he set his sights on Captain Kathryn Janeway (Kate Mulgrew) when Quinn (Gerrit Graham) sought asylum on the USS Voyager. Quinn had been exiled from the Continuum after he was inspired to experience death by Q's own time spent as a mortal. Q was initially dispatched to Voyager to stop Quinn from ending his life during a trial overseen by Janeway. However, the trial had a profound effect on Q, who finally agreed to help Quinn end his life, setting up his own fascination with death in Star Trek: Picard season 2.

5 Star Trek: Voyager Season 3, Episode 11, "The Q and the Grey"

Q was so impressed by Janeway, that he sought her help when Quinn's suicide caused chaos within the Continuum. Believing that the birth of a new Q would restore balance and end the civil war that plagued the Continuum, Q tried to persuade Janeway to mate with him. Janeway refused and instead attempted to bring an end to hostilities, with the aid of Q's ex-girlfriend and the crew of Voyager. Reunited with his ex, Q decided that they should mate instead, resulting in the birth of Q Jr. - the first new Q in a millennia - who brought a swift end to the civil war.

4 Star Trek: Voyager Season 7, Episode 19, "Q2"

Q Jr. (Keegan de Lancie), the son of Star Trek 's Q , was sent to the USS Voyager when he proved to be too much for the Continuum to handle. As Junior's godmother, Q believed that Janeway could teach his son the discipline and order that he had been unable to display while living in the Continuum. While Janeway's tutelage certainly made an impact on the youngster, it was Q finally accepting his responsibilities as a father that convinced the Continuum to reinstate Junior.

3 Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 1, Episode 8, "Veritas"

Q briefly appeared in Star Trek: Lower Decks to challenge the USS Cerritos' senior staff to one of his more bizarre games. Dressed as chess pieces, Captain Carol Freeman (Dawnn Lewis) and her crew were thrown into a living chess game against sentient playing cards who were armed with hockey sticks. Q also tried to challenge Ensign Mariner and the Lower Deckers, but Beckett had no time for the cosmic trickster, flatly telling him that she wasn't in the mood for his games, much to Q's disappointment.

2 Star Trek: Picard Season 2

In the most personal of Q's tests for Picard, the dying god resolved to finally teach his old sparring partner how to be loved. While it was a convoluted plot involving dystopian futures, new species of Borg, and the progenitor of Khan Noonien-Singh, it was deceptively simple in its lesson. Q's meddling allowed Jean-Luc to come to terms with his childhood trauma, make peace with his dead mother and father, and finally look to the future with Laris (Orla Brady). Picard was so thankful to Q for his unconventional approach to psychotherapy that the two men warmly embraced, as Q seemingly prepared to die.

1 Star Trek: Picard Season 3

After he appeared in his quarters on the Enterprise-G, Jack Crusher questioned how Q could still be alive, but the cosmic trickster chided Picard's son for thinking too linearly. This implies that the dying Q from Star Trek: Picard season 2 is actually from a point after the season 3 finale's credits tease. Q teased that, for Jack Crusher at least, humanity's trial is just beginning, meaning that the trickster god will be around to cause chaos in the Star Trek universe for years to come.

Q On Star Trek: Voyager Vs. TNG Real Difference Explained by John De Lancie

• Q's first appearance on Star Trek: Voyager delved into deep philosophical issues like assisted suicide, showing a more introspective side of his character.
• Voyager intentionally changed Q's storytelling by focusing on how events affect him, different from TNG where he drove the action.
• Voyager continued to develop Q's character in subsequent appearances by keeping him part of the storyline, enriching Star Trek lore.

This article contains brief references to suicide.

John de Lancie, who played Q in multiple Star Trek series, explained the real difference between the character in Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: The Next Generation . Q has become one of the most important and recognizable recurring characters in the Star Trek timeline since his debut in TNG 's pilot episode, "Encounter at Farpoint." An omnipotent god-like being with a wicked sense of mischief, Q has been alternately friend and foe to the main characters of shows like TNG , Voyager , Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , and Star Trek: Picard .

Although Q is best known for his episodes on TNG , he had a memorable arc on Voyager starting with season 2, episode 18, "Death Wish." The episode's plot revolved around Quinn (Gerrit Graham), a member of the Q Continuum who wished to end his own life rather than continue to face immortality. When Quinn sought asylum with Voyager's cast of characters , Q was sent to bring him back, leading to a trial for Quinn's right to become human and fulfill his wish to die. "Death Wish" showed a very different side of Q from TNG , and for good reason.

How To Watch All Star Trek TV Shows In Timeline Order

John de lancie explained the real difference between q in star trek: voyager and tng.

In an interview with The Official Star Trek: Voyager Magazine , issue 6, John de Lancie discussed how Q's storyline on Voyager was intentionally made different from his appearances on TNG . De Lancie discussed how the showrunners on Voyager were concerned with making Q's arc distinct enough from how he was used on TNG to be engaging, and clarified how this new style of storytelling and the events of "Death Wish" changed Q as a character. Read de Lancie's full quote below:

"One of the things Michael [Piller] had said was that he wanted to do a Q story, not a story about how Q affects other people, but how the story affects him, and that he goes from his usual flamboyant self to someone much more introspective. You see that he's truly troubled by a philosophical and unresolvable problem."

Up until "Death Wish," Q was almost always the driving force behind an episode's action. The formula on Star Trek: TNG was that Q would show up and create a problem for Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) and the crew of the USS Enterprise-D that they would spend the entire episode trying to get out of. "Death Wish" allowed audiences to see a new side of Q while still keeping what made him so enjoyable . Q's mischievous nature and " flamboyant " personality were still on full display, but seeing him struggle with big issues like assisted suicide made him vastly more interesting.

Voyager Continued Its Q Story Trend With Q’s Other Series Appearances

Although Voyager could have returned to Q's original episode formula, it chose to stick with the new trend. Q appeared twice more during season 3, episode 11, "The Q and the Grey," and season 7, episode 19, "Q2." Both appearances not only dealt with the consequences of the events of "Death Wish," but also continued to have Q be part of the storyline rather than causing it . Even "The Q and the Grey," which seemingly started out with the TNG formula, turned into a plot where Q was just as much at the mercy of events as Voyager's crew.

This not only helped to create a cohesive story arc for Q's Voyager appearances but also changed the character significantly from how he had been on TNG . Voyager went a long way to showing that Q was more fallible than he seemed, and the episodes he was in expanded the lore of the Q Continuum much further than previous series' had , enriching the franchise exponentially. Ultimately, Star Trek: Voyager did more for Q's character development than TNG , even if he continues to be more well-known from his original appearances.

All episodes of Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: The Next Generation are available to stream on Paramount+.

The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-45-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the Sun than Pluto.

Quick Facts

Voyager 2 launched on August 20, 1977, from Cape Canaveral, Florida aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket. On September 5, Voyager 1 launched, also from Cape Canaveral aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket.

Between them, Voyager 1 and 2 explored all the giant planets of our outer solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; 48 of their moons; and the unique system of rings and magnetic fields those planets possess.

The Voyager spacecraft are the third and fourth human spacecraft to fly beyond all the planets in our solar system. Pioneers 10 and 11 preceded Voyager in outstripping the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock in December 2004 at about 94 AU from the Sun while Voyager 2 crossed it in August 2007 at about 84 AU.

Both Voyager spacecrafts carry a greeting to any form of life, should that be encountered. The message is carried by a phonograph record - -a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.

In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between stars, filled with material ejected by the death of nearby stars millions of years ago. Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5, 2018 and scientists hope to learn more about this region. Both spacecraft are still sending scientific information about their surroundings through the Deep Space Network, or DSN.

The primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there — such as active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and intricacies of Saturn's rings — the mission was extended. Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets. The adventurers' current mission, the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM), will explore the outermost edge of the Sun's domain. And beyond.

Learn about Voyagers' mission status: where they are in the space, the time required to communicate with them, and a lot more.

Learn about the five science investigation teams, the four operating instruments on-board and the science data being returned to Earth.

The Voyager spacecraft have been exploring for decades. Dive deep into the journey with this interactive timeline.

Interact in 3D. Take a deeper look at the sophisticated systems and instruments that deliver the stunning science and images.

Interstellar Mission

The mission objective of the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) is to extend the NASA exploration of the solar system beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun's sphere of influence, and possibly beyond.

Planetary Voyage

The twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched by NASA in separate months in the summer of 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. As originally designed, the Voyagers were to conduct closeup studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of the two planets.

Results are given for a study of the effect of quenching temperature on macro- and microstructure, and mechanical properties of nickel-based superalloy EI437B-VD. It is shown that in order to improve structure stability and mechanical properties of rolled bar and stamped GTE blades made of alloy EI437B-VD, and also to avoid a different grain size, it is necessary to reduce quenching temperature in performing heat treatment from 1080 ± 5°C to 1020 ± 5°C.

Q was trapped on Voyager when the ship was battered by the shock waves of a pair of supernovae , which were side effects from the Qs ' use of weaponry in the civil war. Anxious to catch up with her lover, who had escaped with Janeway into the Continuum, she provided the Voyager crew with information that allowed them to enter the Continuum themselves. She also provided them with advanced weaponry that allowed them to rescue Q and Janeway from the custody of the status quo faction, which was planning to execute the pair.

At Janeway's suggestion, Q offered to conceive a child with his old flame as a means of ending the civil war by bringing into existence the first newborn Q in over ten millennia. Q agreed, and the pair went off together to raise their new son. ( VOY : " The Q and the Grey ")

Unfortunately, her son Q , failed to live up to his parents' expectations; he became a notorious hell-raiser instead. Fed up with Q's lack of responsibility and their inability to control their child, she disowned her child and left Q Junior's discipline up to Q in 2378 . ( VOY : " Q2 ")

In the Q Continuum novel trilogy, Q visits the USS Enterprise -E along with the rest of her family and attempts to halt a Federation experiment to penetrate the galactic barrier using an artificial wormhole . During their time on the ship, she reflects on her own fears about motherhood, but is slightly consoled by Doctor Beverly Crusher . Her son is briefly captured by an insane Betazoid scientist who has been enhanced by the barrier's psychic power and subsequently "possessed" by Q's old enemy/mentor 0 , the scientist intending to test Junior's capabilities in various ways, but Q manages to get her son released.
