I could see him playing Q

I've been looking at too many Trek memes, because my mind immediately pictured the wrong Q character.

But also yes.

Who says they aren't the same character?

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I thought the same, but he would actually be great in both roles

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago (2 children)

wait, what other Q is there? I feel like he'd be excellent at playing the Q who ducks with Picard

Sounds like you haven't seen Tomorrow Never Dies. There's a hilarious scene between Pierce Brosnan and Desmond Llewelyn about a remote control car...

Well there's Star Trek Q, and then there's the Q that gives James Bond gadgets that are so unbelievable that could very well have been made by a Q-continuum being who's impersonating an old British man...
