John de Lancie Speaks on Q’s STAR TREK: PICARD Return

Connect with trekcore.

During Monday’s  First Contact Day celebration, Paramount+ officially announced the return of  Star Trek: The Next Generation’s mischievous troublemaker Q, as fan-favorite  Trek alum John de Lancie is set to reprise his role in the upcoming second season of Star Trek: Picard.

After the announcement earlier this week, de Lancie — who also made 1990’s-era appearances in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine ,  Star Trek: Voyager , and games like Star Trek: Borg , in addition to a brief voice cameo in  Star Trek: Lower Decks last year — spoke with  Variety about being approached to come back for  Picard , hesitancy to reprise his character, and once again sharing the screen with Patrick Stewart.

De Lancie — who has already started filming his work for Season 2 —  didn’t expect to get a Star Trek: Picard callback, knowing how long it’s been since he was part of a  Star Trek production — his last appearance was in the 2001 Voyager episode “Q2.”

Six months ago…. Terry [Matalas], one of the executive producers, when I met with him, he said, “Oh, of course, you knew you were going to be coming back.” And I said, “You know what, Terry, ‘Star Trek’ has done a lot of movies and other shows without me. So I did not assume that that was going to be the case.” I just sort of discipline myself as a professional over the years to go, “look, it’s somebody else’s dinner party. You cannot spend your time worrying about whether you’re getting invited. Just take it off the radar. You get invited or you don’t get invited, that’s all.

The actor also spoke about how Q’s role in  Star Trek: Picard was pitched to him; in the Monday  First Contact Day panel, Patrick Stewart noted that Q’s appearance comes at a “shattering moment” in Picard’s life.

One of the issues that I have is you don’t want to fall into the trap of  re -creating. I was obviously a little concerned — very concerned — about the issues having to do with, well, excuse me, this is 20 years later. I’m supposed to be immortal and I certainly look very mortal. There were issues about all of that. I was flattered. Of course, I said yes. I didn’t have to think about that part. And then I wondered, where are they going to go with this? There was generalized talk [about Q’s role], which intrigued me.

One of the things that’s sort of unusual, having played a character that has had such a long history… I’ve always thought of it as being kind of a diamond in the rough, and having new facets of that stone that’s going to be cut. So here it is, many years later, we’re still cutting that stone. There will be elements of that stone which have already been cut, and they will simply need to be burnished up. And then there will be elements of this stone that will be newly cut, for which there will be people who go, “Oh I always thought you would go in that direction,” and then others, “Oh, I like him the way he was before!” It solved one major problem for me, and that is I feel very strongly about the whole thing of, you can never go back…. Here, we are not, in fact, going back. We are taking what we have and we are moving forward. And to me, that’s exciting.

Already at work on  Picard Season 2, de Lancie also shared his thoughts about getting to work with Patrick Stewart again — the last time Q and Picard interacted was in the 1994  Next Generation series finale “All Good Things…,” so this makes a 27-year reunion for the two actors.

I have [been filming]. It was fun. My own issues have always been the same. I have to put in a lot of homework because I’m very dyslexic and I just have to work really hard to get all of that into RAM, as it were. And then once that’s done, I’m there to play. And so it was just fun. That type of preparation has paid off and you’re just ready to rock and roll.

Finally, the actor shared his feelings about the fan response to Q’s return to  Star Trek  after all these years.

This is thin ice for all of us: There are expectations. In the case of that little announcement, I thought they exceeded expectations on that. It was a really nice little morsel of, “Here he comes!” What I felt was mostly was, ‘Oh shit!’ [Laughs] The pressure is on! That’s how I feel about it. I find that to be a challenge. I hope that I can match it. I hope that we all can match it, and more to the point, exceed it.

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 is in production now, and is expected to debut sometime in 2022.

Star Trek Picard: Das müsst ihr über Q aus "Raumschiff Enterprise - Das nächste Jahrhundert" wissen!

In "Star Trek: Picard" Staffel 2 kehrt John de Lancie als Q aus "Das nächste Jahrhundert" zurück. Doch wer oder vielmehr was ist Q eigentlich? Mehr bei Netzwelt!

• John de Lancie ist ein "Star Trek"-Urgestein und seine Figur Q bei Fans überaus beliebt.
• Die Beliebtheit erstreckt sich jedoch nur auf die Zuschauer, Picard selbst hat immer wieder Probleme mit dem Schelm.
• In der zweiten Staffel von " Star Trek: Picard " kehrt John de Lancie nun als Q zurück. Wir verraten, was ihr über Q wissen müsst!

Patrick Stewart ist in " Star Trek: Picard " als beliebter Captain Jean-Luc Picard zurückgekehrt und hatte in der ersten Staffel noch weitere Stars aus " Raumschiff Enterprise - Das nächste Jahrhundert " im Gepäck. In "Star Trek: Picard" Staffel 2 folgt mit John de Lancie als Q der nächste Rückkehrer!

Star Trek: Wer ist Q?

Die eigentliche Frage sollte nicht lauten, wer Q ist, sondern vielmehr, was Q eigentlich ist. Bei Q handelt es sich um ein für Menschen omnipotent erscheinendes und unsterbliches Lebewesen, welches dem Q-Kontinuum angehört. Die gesamte Spezies sowie alle Mitglieder des Kontinuums werden Q genannt.

Die Q können Zeit und Raum manipulieren und sind unberechenbar. Während viele sich aus den Geschicken des Universums heraushalten, gibt es einige, die sich gerne einmischen und mit ihren Mächten Späße treiben, dazu gehört auch Q (John de Lancie).

Q tritt in "Das nächste Jahrhundert" eher als Antagonist auf und brummt Captain Picard gerne neue Aufgaben, Probleme und Hindernisse auf. Dabei ist Q nicht vollends bösartig, sondern belehrt die Menschen gerne über ihre Fehler und Ansichten. Dabei ist er jedoch überaus arrogant und sieht seine Torturen als Spaß. Mit der Zeit lernt er jedoch auch von Picard.

Das "Star Trek"-Universum wächst auch 2024 und 2025 weiter an. Wir verraten euch, welche neuen Filme und Serien starten werden und listen alle Neuerscheinungen!

Das Erscheinungsbild, welches Q annimmt, wenn er auf Menschen trifft, gleicht ebenfalls dem eines Menschen. Er trägt gerne eine ranghohe Sternenflottenuniform, in denen er sich Picard optisch nicht nur anpasst, sondern ihm und anderen Besatzungsmitgliedern seine Überlegenheit symbolisieren will.

Star Trek: In welchen Folgen tritt Q auf?

Q tritt in verschiedenen Folgen verschiedener Serien aus dem "Star Trek"-Universum auf. Sein erster Auftritt erfolgt in "Das nächste Jahrhundert", doch auch in " Star Trek: Raumschiff Voyager " findet er Gefallen daran, Captain Janeway auf den Senkel zu gehen. Wir listen euch alle Episoden, in denen Q auftritt.

• "Raumschiff Enterprise - Das nächste Jahrhundert": Staffel 1, Episode 1 "Der Mächtige"
• "Raumschiff Enterprise - Das nächste Jahrhundert": Staffel 1, Episode 2 "Mission Farpoint"

• " Star Trek: Lower Decks ": Staffel 1, Episode 8 "Veritas"

Was wissen über Qs Auftritt in "Star Trek: Picard" Staffel 2?

Aus den ersten Trailern zu "Star Trek: Picard" Staffel 2 geht bereits einiges hervor. Q sucht Picard auf, um wieder sein Unwesen zu treiben. Einmal mehr will Q seinem "Capitaine" die Fehler der Menschen aufweisen, denn "der Prozess geht nie zuende".

Wie heißt die Verlobte von Spock?

Q verändert die Zeitlinie und schafft ein totalitäres Regime und somit eine dystopische Zukunft für Picard und Co. Nun ist es an Picard, in unsere Gegenwart zu reisen und Qs Schabernack ein Ende zu bereiten.

Ein kleiner Schönheitsfehler in Qs Rückkehr ist der Fakt, dass Q nicht altert, Schauspieler John de Lancie jedoch schon. Wir liefern euch die Erklärung, warum Qs neuer Look in "Star Trek: Picard" dennoch Sinn ergibt !

"Star Trek: Picard" Staffel 2 startet im Februar 2022, wir verraten euch 28 spannende Fakten und Spoiler, die verraten, wie es weitergeht!

Q and the Crew

While Q appeared across various Trek series, his relationship with the crew of the Enterprise-D was especially key.

StarTrek.com

Welcome back to the Star Trek Villain Showdown as it continues on through the semi-finals!

We previously looked at Gul Dukat’s twisted impact on the crew of Deep Space Nine . Now, we’re talking all things Q , namely his impact on Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation and later in Star Trek: Picard . This trickster started off as the first antagonist faced by the crew of the Enterprise-D , and grew into a beloved opponent and figure throughout the show’s seven seasons.

Firstly, let’s talk about Q’s relationship with other Starfleet officers. He expressed shock when Sisko didn’t have time for any of his shenanigans (“Picard never hit me!” “I’m not Picard.”). He tangled with Janeway a few times during her journey through the Delta Quadrant , even roping her into raising his son with her “vaunted Starfleet ideals.” When he appeared on the U.S.S. Cerritos , Ensign Mariner dismissed him, knowing he was planning on testing humanity once more with her and her friends.

[ RELATED : Everyone Loves Q (But Which One?) ]

The mysterious representative of the Q Continuum found the most eager audience for his schemes in the crew of the Enterprise-D . On the first mission with Captain Picard at the helm of the Enterprise , he appeared to put humanity on trial to see if they deserved a chance to continue to grow. Picard, with his sense of diplomacy and philosophy, saved the human race and Q disappeared… for a while.

Q would pop up throughout the run of TNG to provide tests and tomfoolery to see how the crew reacted. Be it teleporting them to Sherwood Forest or turning to them when he had no powers (and then, promptly teleporting a mariachi band to the Bridge once said powers returned to him), he was involved in many excellent Enterprise adventures.

[ RELATED : PiQard - Q's Influence on The Captain ]

Throughout his appearances, Q was fascinated with Picard himself. In one poignant episode, “ Tapestry ,” Q appeared to a dying Picard to give him an It’s A Wonderful Life -style chance to see what his life would’ve been like had he never learned to take risks. This helped guide Picard into accepting his past, especially the risks he took during his youth, as he realized he wouldn’t be where and who he was today without those wild years. This was a key moment for Picard’s psychology, with Q’s presence instrumental to that journey.

In the TNG series finale , Q appeared once more to test Picard and humanity, placing them on trial again. With the aid of time travel and a few stirring speeches, Picard proved humanity was worthy of saving, prompting Q to vanish. That marked the last time Picard would cross paths with Q until the Season 2 events of Star Trek: Picard .

In Star Trek: Picard , a dying Q wanted to afford Picard the opportunity to release some of his past traumas while allowing him to grow close with someone. He did this in typical Q fashion, of course, by sending Picard into an alternate timeline in which the Federation fell and an evil Confederation had taken its place. Picard and his allies, along with the Borg Queen , had to time travel back to present day Los Angeles to try and fix the timeline. They were even aided by a young Guinan !

[ RELATED : The Trial Never Ends: Q’s Approach to Advocacy ]

However, Q’s main goal was simple — he wanted to free Picard from the trauma stemming from his mother’s death. Nearing the end of his life and realizing he was alone, Q didn’t want Picard to suffer the same outcome. However, in a twist of fate, upon opening up to Picard, Q did not die alone. He was able to reconcile with his friend and opponent Jean-Luc; marking his final moments with a rather noble act.

While Gul Dukat was a force of evil throughout his entire journey on Deep Space Nine , Q alternated between enemy and ally throughout his run across the Star Trek universe. Do his acts of good counter-balance his acts of mischief?

Q was trapped on Voyager when the ship was battered by the shock waves of a pair of supernovae , which were side effects from the Qs ' use of weaponry in the civil war. Anxious to catch up with her lover, who had escaped with Janeway into the Continuum, she provided the Voyager crew with information that allowed them to enter the Continuum themselves. She also provided them with advanced weaponry that allowed them to rescue Q and Janeway from the custody of the status quo faction, which was planning to execute the pair.

At Janeway's suggestion, Q offered to conceive a child with his old flame as a means of ending the civil war by bringing into existence the first newborn Q in over ten millennia. Q agreed, and the pair went off together to raise their new son. ( VOY : " The Q and the Grey ")

Unfortunately, her son Q , failed to live up to his parents' expectations; he became a notorious hell-raiser instead. Fed up with Q's lack of responsibility and their inability to control their child, she disowned her child and left Q Junior's discipline up to Q in 2378 . ( VOY : " Q2 ")
