Given the events of “Picard” and the delays of the writer’s strike, it’s considerably less likely we’ll get to see our old Q up to no good. Natasha has the smarmy attitude expected from a Q, so why not? Certainly welcome to a relative unknown in the role if they can pull it off, but she gets my vote.
Make it Wil Wheaton.
He disappeared with the Traveller, and somehow got adopted by a Q, and worked his way up to full Qhood. And all he wants to do is fuck with smarmy captains.
“I’ve always wanted to say this… Shut up, Picard!”
With how much shit he’s been given in his personal life using that phrase, it would probably feel like the coldest beer on the hottest day.
And probably spawn thousands of memes
And he’s already perfected his “Evil Will Wheaton” persona…
He’s such an amazingly evil asshole in Dark Matter!
Hell yeah! This is the only answer in my mind, he would be absolutely perfect as Q 💖
A jealous Wesley God torments his half brother across the galaxy, yes please
oh my god this is brilliant. what if that’s the traveler’s whole secret purpose after all: he’s always been a Q that recruits people into the continuum in a much different way than our Q tries to?
