Suspect #1:

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is there any Trek lore that points to this moment as the source of humanity? Or is Q just being a little shit in front of Picard to piss him off?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Definitely the latter. Eventually, Picard comes to realize the situation he helped create and makes decisions that stop any of what he witnessed occur. Q was just "nudging" him in the right direction.

I dunno if I'd say definitely. I don't really doubt Q's ability to pinpoint an appropriate spot in time and space, so it seems reasonable that he would actually take him there rather than just try to find a spot in space time that seems good enough to lie about it.
