'Q' in Enterprise ??

Supercell

Have been seeing rumours on irc that Q is going to make an appearance in Enterprise on some future date..am wondering if anyone else has heard of such things too, and if so..when!!!

sceptre

Ha, now that would be interesting.

Wouldn't be able to have him around for too long though - too much understanding of humans and he might not have turned up at the start of TNG (or might have turned up earlier)

Some explanation for the 150-year gap between visits (enterprise to TNG) might also be desirable - presumably didn't turn up in Kirk's era (even when the camera wasn't watching ho hum:D) - anyone from Kirk all the way down to any of the Ensign Expendibles would presumably have reported an encounter with an onmipitent being (unless told to keep it under wraps)

Just because it's a made-up show doesn't mean they can't make an effort at a coherent storyline

Saruman

You are forgetting something.. the Q dont live in linear time.. they can got back and forward very easily... so there is no reason Q cant appear in Enterprise.. but he cant let the crew know exactly what he is or there would be mention of it.. unless he removes the memory when he is done playing!

Not that I've seen any enterprise episodes yet (waiting for it to appear on RTE and the likes) but I've always enjoyed the episodes with Q.

Thorbar

Never watched much star trek but remember one Q line that I always thought was funny.

"Hello worf(however its spelt), eaten any good books lately?"

Cloud

Or "Growl for me Worf, show me you still care" (or something like that) - but isn't Q getting a bit old looking? I guess he'd be visiting Enterprise after his TNG/DS9/VOY encounters (in his timeline).

Maybe they'd send the younger Q instead.

EvilGeorge

Saruman would disagree with you there - the Q could be of any age - check his post above.

Not being into star treck that much I can't verify if he is correct or not.

Or a different Q? The female Q from Voyager - Or the child they had?

Saruman

Or the Q that killed himself... he was part of earths history after all!!

BTBB

Could it be that on of the 2 Q who were killed because they wanted to live on earth(i think - its from the Voyager with the Q war) are on Enterprise?

Personaly I don't like Enterprise. There are too many inaccuracies. Klingons with ridges? They can't skip it as Sisko mentions it in Trouble with Tribbles (DS9) to Worf who says he doesn't want to talk about it.

Saruman

Lets face it... Klingons did not have ridges because of money in original series... Trouble with tribbles was basically a comedy episode and worf was in a way taking the piss...

Maybe it can be brought in of 2 races of Klingons.. something like that.. why not? Diiferent Human races etc...

Bard

Wasn't Worf's explanation simply something along the lines of "Yes, they ARE Klingon... but we don't like to talk about that..."

I seem to remember it being suggested that these could be Klingons from a different continent on Qu'on'os (just like Chinese people or Africans are different in appearance to Irish people) - rather than just Klingons from the past.

Of course, as Sarumon says, the real reason was money. They simply couldn't afford the prosthetics and make-up when the original series was being made.

Saruman

Exactly my point Bard... hmm you know i think there was at some time a Kligon civil war.. it would be very easy to bring the difference in appearence into that.. 2 races of Kligons... the ridgeless ones and the ones we know from TNG etc... go to war and one race wipes out the others mostly and by the time TNG comes about there are only the ridged klingongs left... could have it that in Kirks time the ridgless kligons had the upper hand and thats why they were the only ones in space at that particular time! Physically they were weaker but they were more intelligent and thats why modern Klingons dont like to talk about it... its shamefull that the weaker race were dominating at that particular time...

Of couse this us pure waffel but its possible all the same!!!

BTBB

Interesting thought. In the series (Start Trek:Phase II) that became Star Trek:The Motion Picture several castes of Klingons were explained in one of the episodes. Hence all Kirk saw was the 'warrior' caste.
