Q allows him to own his life and his choices, both good and bad, because it's all made Picard the man that he is today. That's why this is my favorite TNG episode.

Even if it was accidental, this episode worked well into Q's final appearance in the series finale. This conversation makes it clear that Q is not just taunting Picard but trying to see what he is made of, and by proxy, gauge the character of humanity. It flows into Q's last conversation (on screen) in All Good Things - when Q tells Picard that the secret to the universe is not found in a boring collection of data and information, but in taking leaps of faith, using creativity, and taking a risk on doing something you wouldn't ordinarily do. Since the Q Continuum is interested in whether humanity has the potential to become beings like themselves one day, one might infer that as a species the Q had to make a massive decision at one point to leap into the utter unknown whenever they chose to transcend space and time. Perhaps it's something that most civilizations can never bring themselves to do; maybe it seems too crazy, impossible, or risky. Over the course of the series, the overall picture that emerges is one of the Q trying to determine if humanity has both the capacity for imagination and adventure, but also rationality and evolving past base instincts and behaviors.

This is why I think Q "messes with" the enterprise crew because he is trying to unlock their potential. He never had any aim to harm humanity or Picard, it was always because he saw something in them and took it upon himself to guide them. Because he's basically a god, he's quite whimsical about everything, so whilst Picard sees people dying because of Q (Q Who for example) to Q it just serves the higher purpose of showing the Federation what they must be prepared for. And perhaps here, he thought Picard needed a kick up the arse for whatever reason

I had a brush with death 14 years ago, an auto accident. It was a bad T-bone. I awoke to the sound of a group of EMTs taking me out the rear windshield, telling me I'd be okay, and drove me to the hospital. The paramedic, keeping me mentally active, asked me my name, address, the date, where I lived, and then where do I work. I couldn't remember. I said, scared, I couldn't remember. He said a little amnesia is normal, it'll come back. I got scared for a moment, and then said this, "I'm a salesman of some kind. Great, now I'll have to wait until Monday when my boss calls and tells me I'm late. I'll apologize and then say,'Where is I work again'?" That paramedic burst out laughing, the driver did also, and a moment later my employer came to me and I rattled off my position and company's motto. The gurney was rushed into the ER and a medic came running in with an X-ray. The doctor asked, "Which [bones]?" "None sir." "That's *impossible*, check again!" "Negative doctor, there are *no broken bones*." "No one survives that amount of trauma without so much as a broken bone to show for it!" He turned to me on the gurney, "Son what the hell were driving?" I told him and he asked if there was an airbag (side), I said no and then,"But I was wearing my seat belt (joking about the whole lifelong PSA campaign)." The doctor laughed, the nurse did, and the medics did. I had a partially collapsed lung, severe bruising to the chest, and legs were banged up. I was breathing normally in two hours, walking in six hours, and out of the hospital in two days. The doctor told me he was very proud, gave me the breathing meter for progress and exercise, some Rx, and said he'd see me for a follow up. I made a great recovery. I REALIZED life was fragile. I focused on life more. I would later in life suffer an epileptic seizure....while I was driving. I awoke at Lincoln Hospital to doctors and felt again was being given another chance. To say I live every day to the fullest is a cliche, to say I found God would be a cliche, but what I did learn is that life is fragile, a gift, and can end quickly. Make the day count, never curse life as you have it, and make sure you die happy. Many aren't lucky enough to survive one car accident, fewer two. I don't mean a fender bender, I mean concussion-level. If I could I'd go out like Picard, a boss, literally laughing at death. 3:15 Not so much, "Is this the best you can do?" But almost, "Well old friend I'd knew I'd see you again. Let's head off together on one last voyage."

+Daniel Cannata Thank you. I'd not wish trauma on anyone, but I really appreciate your comment.I take Rx for epilepsy, my doctor is always happy with my turnaround, and no seizures and continues to keep the DMV informed as they request, and have been seizure free for over three years. My NDE---which I didn't tell anyone except you and my father: While unconscious the second time at Lincoln hospital I remember almost "floating in darkness"---I have a memory of just a feeling of floating with no other thought. It was when I was likely regaining consciousness. A doctor called out my name, said it was okay, and to to wake up. It was not scary, I felt no unease, almost comfort. I awoke to two doctors holding me down on either side---the reason being they *know* the moment someone hears they've been in an accident their reflex is to RISE and *check yourself* for injuries and they didn't want me to get up just yet. They released me in a few minutes after explaining I had another seizure (they had obviously reviewed medical history via my license on car plate/cross medically referencing). I'll never forget this moment: I started to cry and told them I was so embarrassed. The nurse, smiled at me, said I was okay, and that is *all* that mattered. She asked why I would say such a thing and I said I worried I put someone in danger (the truth is I hadn't been cleared to drive just yet---but the first Rx was seeming to work---the dose just needed to be raised a little more). She told me there was damage to the side of my car, not much (I had hit a cement wall near the GW Bridge on the Henry Hudson Parkway). She assured me NO ONE ELSE was involved. I calmed and the doctors told me I was not injured in any way. I'd later learn from the NYFD (who were first to arrive on the scene) that an eye-whiteness said he saw me get out of the car, kneel down to inspect the damage, and then slump over asleep. A lot to take away, but I will say this---when my time comes I hope to be looking into the eyes of my loved ones and say I have no regrets, no fears, and that I love them all.

these actors are just very poor at unarmed combat and dont really control their strikes ) so they are trying to reduce the risk of injury by doing stuff where the surface of your hit is possibly large, so the force is distributed to reduce pressure. it's different if you watch movies with actors who are pro level at combat sports with contact, such as e.g. Wesley Snipes (Blade, Demolition Man), Dolph Lundgren (many movies), Jet Li (many movies), etc. I particularly like Wesley Snipes, his movement is extremely crisp and his technique is very solid.

For me, this episode came as I was about to leave for college, move halfway across the country and essentially start over with nothing. It was frightening, but I knew the consequences of playing it safe. While things may not be perfect now, I do have a PhD, considerable skills, and financial assets; none of which I would likely have now if I had played it safe. I would certainly not have as many choices as I do now. This episode helped to bolster my confidence to go forward. I still refer back to it when I need to find courage to make difficult, but necessary, life changes. Thank you Q

Cat: "There's an old cat saying: It's better to live one hour as a tiger than a lifetime as a worm." Rimmer: "There's an old human saying: Whoever heard of a wormskin rug?" But, Red Dwarf quotes aside, this is a very important scene for Picard and Q. For Picard, he learns that he is where he is because of the path he chose, and to take a different direction would lead to a very different place, and Q gave him the chance to see first hand just where regret can take you. I've often found Q to be a very intriguing character: A lot of life-forms he teases because he can be a bit of a dick, but where humans are concerned, a lot of it seems to be out of some genuine desire to help humans grow beyond their limitations (in this case, regret) and here he comes across not so much malevolent, but genuinely wishing to teach Picard something valuable.

It's another Q life lesson - this is what will, according to the Continuum, make humans one day surpass the Q: the drive, and this perfectly shows that we don't have it yet, but are beginning to acquire it. Very cleverly written, very cleverly acted; these two are fucking GENIUS. ♥

Q is a reflection of Jean Luc's more arrogant, agenda driven, and deviant side. A reminder of what unrestrained pride and power looks like. Picard hates that part of himself, but it's also the part of him that earned him that captain's chair. He's just forgotten that.

Its interesting when you realize that Young Picard's laugh at the beginning was probably Old Picard laughing at the timeline being restored. I mean, given that he had a real near-death experience, the big gaps in his memory for those few days) could easily be rationalized by Young Picard as, well, nearly dying. It makes one wonder if Q, for whom time was malleable, knew that if he steered that man just right, he'd end up with a rather interesting individual he could banter, argue and verbally spar with to quell his boredom for a while. I wouldn't put it past Q.

But don't be shocked that most people don't agree with you. Star Trek is now being supported by a tiny minority of people. I will give you this: that minority is actually supporting this current dreck, unlike the supposed fans of Kathleen Kennedy's Star Wars or any number of countless Netflix pitching comic books that are being puked onto the market. However, there is a reason they went to streaming it exclusively. The general public has no interest in these limping Star Trek projects. They are basically recouping the costs of keeping the IP rights in perpetuity at this point. If you want to highlight something positive about Picard and Disco.... They have redeemed the once questionable value of Voyager and Enterprise. I just wish they could come out with something new that everyone could enjoy. At this point, I just have to hope nobody ruins Babylon 5, Lexx, or Andromeda with a new reboot. I don't have trust for the hacks writing this current sci-fi.

He could've looked around his home and saw that he had done nothing. This would have added meaning to his statement of having no passion. But they could only do so much in one hour.

I invest my time wisely on my own goals, rather than toiling in obscurity for a thankless bureacracy that will never recognize my deeds. I can build a business if I want to manage something.

One of the things Covid has really put into perspective for me is how much I miss adventure, how much I miss travelling. I've crawled into an Egyptian pyramid in the sweltering heat, hiked on a jungle trail in Malaysia with poisonous centipedes and giant lizards, snorkeled with jellyfish and sharks in the Pacific, walked on Cambodian ruins with landmines and unexploded ordnances on every side, visited feudal villages in Pakistan, driven through formerly ISIS-controlled territory in Iraq, and gotten lost in the ruins of Ancient Ostia in Italy. For the longest time, I took so much of this for granted. I would complain in my mind about the heat, or the humidity or the food or the danger. And looking back, it amazes me how much of a fucking fool I was for not realizing the opportunity that I had. I took risks, and those risks gave me stories. They gave me perspective. And now, Covid has taken that from me. This scene really speaks to me on that level.

Absolutely brilliant scene; Q rips Pickard apart because Picard was always playing it safe. This is why Star Trek has sooooo many followers; undoubtely one of THE best scenes

Takes a special kind of BADASS to make a Nausicaan stand there and stare like "...What the FUCK...?". They don't get weirded out easy.
