    Just a punch? Q’s lucky he didn’t get the full False God treatment plan.

      I don’t think Q ever said he was a god. It was always someone else saying he is iirc. So the false God treatment would’ve not worked. More of a egotistical asshole treatment.

      I would argue that Q doesn’t deserve to be treated as a false god. If anything, Q truly is a god, considering he actually is an omnipotent being and all.

        Is he though? An inter-dimensional being with great powers: yes, definitely.

        But an omnipotent god? We’ve seen them die, kill each other, grown complacent and bored, and in need of help from a mere human to find their way out of a civil war. Personally I don’t consider them gods, just as we aren’t gods even though an ant might think otherwise.

        Or, to quote Quinn:

        You mustn’t think of us as omnipotent, no matter what The Continuum would like you to believe. You and your ship seem incredibly powerful to life-forms without your technical expertise. It’s no different with us. We may appear omnipotent to you, but believe me, we’re not.
