“Futile”
Just want to say I am super proud of myself for this one, and that after an overall crappy day (this being the first I’ve been excited since I woke up), I am glad that I get to go to bed on a high note. :)

Locutus
Just the best episode ever and sir patrick stewart was so great to watch

Can I interest any of my Qcard friends in an archaeology!AU? Just imagine Picard as the uptight, by-the-book professor, and Q as the Indiana Jones type running around and doing archaeology badly.

This is positively heart-breaking!
You have to wonder how Q felt watching his Captain being assimilated by the Borg and becoming Locutus. Would he have gotten enraged enough to go behind the Continuum and remove the Borg from existence?
Q: “How dare you? How dare you lay a single nanite on my Picard! I will see your entire race eviscerated from existence!”
I’m pretty sure it was unbelievably painful for Q to watch that happen.
And I think the Continuum didn’t let him interfere, because “that’s the way things should be” and besides, how pathetic would it be if a member of the Q Continuum were to go to all the trouble of saving a single, puny little human being?
Except that, to Q, this particular puny little human being is Jean-Luc Picard, and that makes him an important puny little human being.
The other point, of course, is that everything Q does is for the purpose of Getting The Humans Badass Enough To Take Down The Borg For Us. If he turns up to interfere with anything in a manner that’s too obvious, the Q end up on the Borg’s radar and that’s bad news for -everyone-.
Ignoring whatever happened to Q and the Continuum in Voyager, I’d argue that the Borg can’t reach the Q. They’re not even on the same plane of existence. The Q are all-powerful omnipotent entities, there is no way the Borg could even dream of assimilating them. + the Continuum could wipe the Borg out of existence if they truly wanted to.
