but there will never be time travel... because if there was they'd be here already....

Unless it's only possible to travel forward in time; or unless there's a lot of laws against time travelling, and that we wouldn't notice people fro mthe future when they arrived. Who knows? Perhaps they are here already...

It has nothing to do with time travel making sense. It's ALWAYS going to be rife with paradox. That's ok if it's done well. But in that episode of lost it just felt forced and stupid.

See, what i got from it was that he was slowly going unhinged... in his head...
stress is proven to harm you physically... so i didn't see it more silly then Locke being able to walk unless he's doubting or Boone needs to die.

Aaah, it's the one where Q comes to find Amanda, the young Q girl who's been raised as a human. I love it.
Heheee... Q got a hiding from Beverly, and he turned her into a dog, barking and barking at him, and then she turned back into herself, never having noticed

Yeah, that's him. Q tried to explain to Amanda what the Q are:
Q: "We're omnipotent."
Amanda: "And what do you do with that power?"
Q: "Anything we want."
The plot in the episode is that an omnipotent Q can't choose to be half-and-half. Either be a Q, or live as a mortal without using your powers. Amanda chose to be Q as she couldn't resist using her powers to help people. Q also explained the continuum's reasons for wanting to determine Amanda's fate; they couldn't let an omnipotent being roam the universe freely without control.
Picard challenged Q on his moral compass; claiming the Q didn't have much of a morality to brag about (prompting Q to say he was only ever visiting Picard to hear his great speeches ), but at least they could agree that in the end Amanda would have to make the choice herself.

So you think TNG jumped the shark in the first episode?Caradoc wrote:For me, the introduction of Q was where the Trek series "jumped the shark". I absolutely loath the character and the whole premise.
