Once again, this is actually fallacious as it is denying the antecedent.

Don’t. This is actually a fallacious argument. It’s denying the antecedent.

ValenceBond
Honestly from what I have seen of DeLancie I think they’re just Q who wants an excuse to do normal people things from time to time
Matty3D
Q was my favourite character in all of Trek.
tigoisactuallymynameontheperiodictable
I absolutely hated him... It was perfect.
mrtwidget
He really was great. He was the perfect adversary for Picard but also his friend.
noctynight
Q was just another GM fed up with players who couldn't roleplay.

More like a game developer with admin privileges.

I believed in you, I thought you had potential. apparently I was wrong.

May whatever god you believe in *scoff* have mercy on your soul!

This courts adjourned. I memorized that whole episode
pizzapartyhard
The cogito is circular reasoning. By saying “I think” you’re already implying that something *I* exists. Really, all you could say is that
pizzapartyhard
“Thinking is occurring” and “I exist” does not necessarily follow from that.
NoNameFred
'By saying "I think" you're already implying that something *I* exists.' Yes, that's the whole point. That is literally Descartes argument.
pizzapartyhard
So it’s circular and proves nothing. I exist therefore I exist? His conclusion is contained in his premise. That’s the point.
PileOfWalthers
It might be circular reasoning but that's the point, it IS reasoning, and thus your existence is not the figment of somebody's imagination!
PileOfWalthers
Am I just some higher being's figment? Nope, I think, therefore I do exist.
pizzapartyhard
You may very well not be a figment, but merely asserting so doesn’t prove it.
pizzapartyhard
What? It is “reasoning”? I’m not denying thinking beings exist, I’m arguing that he has failed to deductively prove it.
pizzapartyhard
I should rephrase, it is deductively valid (if you fill in the gaps/implications), but it would then include the conclusion in its premises.
PileOfWalthers
This is really HS philosophy 101, not even AP. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogito,_ergo_sum
pizzapartyhard
Lol, did you even read that article? It points out the very critique I’m raising.
PileOfWalthers
Yes I did, including those parts. "lol". Which is why I posted it: there is no point in rehashing on imgur what's been raised before...
Flyms
I don't understand the last 2 panels. Can someone?
mostlydrawing
Descartes is pronounced very similar to "the cart", and forms the pun "put the cart before the horse", which is the joke.
Flyms
Thanks. One more joke i can't translate =(
cecilryegate
You mean one 'less' joke. Native speakers do not automatically get everything either. Practice and you'll get there.
VeganFeministFlatEarther
No, he was correct. One more joke in the collection of jokes that he ***CAN'T*** translate.
cecilryegate
I see where you're coming from. I think it's a matter of perspective though.

Ah, Captain Jellico; excellent captain, forever hated because he's not Picard
Geo80
Also Riker was a massive dick to him for that entire episode for literally no reason.
DarthAndy
Well there were those incidents with robots and hillbillies...
justtruth
He's also an asshole who likes to do shady shit
JustABookworm
I-is this the same actor for Senator Kelly in Stargate?
EpilatorAlligatorBothReduceGrowth
Yes it is :) he has a knack for getting cast as hateable characters.
Boredashell
I mean after that incident on Mars, I don't trust him.
Keibrina
He did manage to get Troy to wear her uniform for the rest of the series.
ImSorryFriend
Jellico was not an excellent captain on-screen, but his questionable conduct was far surpassed by the senior staff during that time.
MoreButterForMyHam
His actions were to get a crew used to diplomatic, and scientific missions prepared for war, should Picard's mission fail. He was certainly
MoreButterForMyHam
zealous in working towards that goal, but looking at his actions through that lens makes them fat more understandable
ImSorryFriend
Understandable, sure. Easy to see what his goal was, but hard to argue that his efforts to attain them were wisely chosen.

Doumdidoum
Unpopular opinion: I always felt Q was irritating. A Deus Ex Machina character used to fill some episodes and he brought nothing to the stor
Doumdidoum
Another unpopular opinion: Jean-Luc Picard... Why bother creating a french character and then making him so un-french?
Morpheaus
It is not okay to have that opinion and you should probably seek therapy.
Vlaid
Sometimes he was that, but he had a lot of good episodes and scenes when he wasn't being needlessly zany.
HelloToe
NoNameFred
On the other hand, in TNG he filled both the "incomprehensible higher being" role from TOS and the "someone will judge you" that TOS lacked
NoNameFred
Of course, his appearance in Voyager was hackneyed and cringe-worthy. Worst Q episodes, hands down.
NoNameFred
Even in DS9 he was there deliberately as a red-herring, to explore the idea of an "obviously guilty" party actually being innocent.
DeviatedPrevert
I hate Q ... worst character ever in space treks

When Deus ex machina cannot fix plot holes, bring in an actual God?
DeviatedPrevert
thats the worst fucking part ... they brought him in on the FIRST EPISODE .... so lazy
idontlikepickingusername
Not as bad as Discovery, let's do the Mirror Universe, and Section 31 and time travel, all at the same time!
DeviatedPrevert
pizzapartyhard
When God gives you lemons you FIND A NEW GOD.
ShowMeEvidence360
Have you actually ever watched this show? That's not hiw Q is used at all.
Doumdidoum
Well, the whole narrative was a DEM. The Gods, erm Qs want humanity destroyed because Script then Q arrives to save the day. Meh.
chefsoda
Seen every episode, more than once. Q is always a god. He takes any form, sees all, moves through space & time at will & can do the same for
chefsoda
any one or thing. Can kill & restore life at will. Plays with the living as he sees fit. The definition of a god.
chefsoda
The only time he isn't a god, is when his powers are briefly suspended, but quickly restored. He may be benevolent at times, but still a god
yayboobs
it would make me so happy if Q makes an appearance in Picard
TehDude333
Yeah, but Picard has already announced it's going to be Anti Brexit anti Trump which means it'll likely have terrible writing.
ItHurtsGettingHitByACar
He does, saw it in a trailer
FatboyRich
And we find out everything we've been watching for all these years has been Q's illusion, and Picard doesn't exist
JHawke
Dude was narrating a ayreon concert some few months ago. Dude can narrate! I was pleasantly surprised.
ShowALK
I know Imgur doesn't like MLP but John deLancie was fantastic as Discord. He's a god of chaos, basically just Q but a draconequus.
ShanoaRavendare
Every season Discord became more and more like Q. It was funny to watch.

No upvote huh? Nostalgia's strong with this crowd.
fadingtheory
It was oscillating between -4 and +4 votes for a bit.
Invada
Not sure I understand u completely, but dont mistake legit criticism for nostalgia. I see that done a lot, to dismiss critical opinions.
fadingtheory
existence is only made possible because the show owners have run out of ideas, need cash, and will liquefy any asset they can grab to get it
AsianLeprechaun
Eh, if it's written well, it's fine. See: Bucky being resurrected.
fadingtheory
There's a difference between a character being brought back in a running series, and a network who's response to a public not liking...
fadingtheory
their new series is "Oh shit, they hate it, bring back Spock! Oh no, it's still on fire, bring back TNG! And the borg with tits!"
Invada
I sincerely fear that 'Picard' is going to be almost as bad as 'Discovery'. I fear that it is going to be a bunch of unearned emotional..
Invada
.. scenes that have no story, no interesting content, just a bunch of illogical emotional nonsense.
distractionfactory
"just a bunch of illogical emotional nonsense." Spoken like a true Vulcan.
FunctioningWorkaholic
That’s a pretty good description of Discovery. I mean, she’s half vulcan and more emotional than a 12yr old drama queen.
BitchinBotanist
I like discovery thank you very much
Invada
Great. I'm glad some people enjoy it. I hope I get to e joy Picard, I always try very hard to be open minded and have positive expectations.
distractionfactory
I hope enough people enjoy the FX enough to keep it going until they figure out a consistent plot and how to develop more than 1 character.
distractionfactory
And by 1 character, of course I mean Tilly.
SoapyMammaryMasturbation
*Killy
yayboobs
i enjoyed discovery, but it just didn't feel like star trek. it was more like 'the michael burnham show' with star trek lore.
BitchinBotanist
Meh I felt like in the first season they focused on stamets and tummy a bit
BitchinBotanist
Tilly sorry
2shortplanks
Totally agree 100%. But I'm kinda glad that it's not Trek Classic; There's no going back only forward...go where no trek has gone bfore.
AllanVR
It's always hard to put a quazi-omnipotent character in to any story - but Q nailed it. ... except that whole Janeway part...
GhillieTrollAskold
Q are just discount Ascended, change my mind.
Longbowgun
Ascended are just more evolved Q; Change my mind.
GhillieTrollAskold
I guess they're sorta like slightly less murdery Ori really.
GhillieTrollAskold
Like spicy Ascended
idiosamatik

Ovaender
I think their ark was perfectly in caracter and well developed from start to finish.
dooms7
That’s because Janeway didn’t put up with jack diddly
supraman2turbo
....Sisko PUNCHED Q, I think he wins
jellyfishsoufflee
That really annoyed me
AmbroseGudmaker
The Q aren't meant to be quasi omnipotent, they're meaotp be omnipotent
Colopty
Nah one of them mentioned there are things even they can't do, but those things are beyond what humans have thought of yet. It's kind of \1

like if a modern human went back in time and started talking about the difficulty of making a quantum computer with lots of qubits to a \2
Colopty
caveman that has enough on his plate just figuring out fire. To that caveman though, modern technology would seem omnipotent. \3/3
Morpheaus
Thankfully. Janeway was such a sanctimonious asshole.
StaggerRhythms
She ought to be charged with war crimes
Morpheaus
It really pissed me off that she had a cameo in Nemesis as a fucking admiral. She did not deserve that.
Serenitis
It's always hard to put an ageless character in to any story you're revisiting. Because actors are not ageless. Voice only, if anything.
Ludwigofthepotatoppl
With modern cgi, it’d be almost an insult if they didn’t de-age him. But then it’s Q, and he’d surely poke fun at the mortals like that.
JonatasAM
Even then, some actors' voice suffer changes. However Galadriel didn't age a day, she looks younger if you ask me.
AmbroseGudmaker
But... what you see isn't Q, it's Q's sockpuppet. Q could decide to use another sockpuppet entirely, make an older one, etc
AllanVR
Poor Brent Spiner.
