Spoilers Star Trek: Strange New Worlds - Season 3 Viewing (Spoilers)

Trelane in TOS used a machine to do his magic, IIRC. Which isn't a Q thing.

They thought he used a machine, because he was never far away from his mirror, so Kirk shot it in the duel sequence. After that he still used his powers, in the hunt for Kirk.

Spock detects and destroys the machine, but to his surprise Trelane still has his powers.

It seems to me that the Q do not have children in the biological sense, but occasionally beings spontaneously develop reality altering abilities, and these can be “invited” to join the Q continuum. Possibly after a probationary period, akin to childhood.

Gary Mitchell might have become one of these proto-Q (or P) had Kirk not killed him first.

Thanks for correcting me on that scene.

Q do, in fact, have children in other ways. When they take human form, they can have biological children (Amanda Rogers from ST:TNG). They can also create offspring by consent between 2 Q. (Presumably the plural of Q is Q?). Q and Miss Q created Q2 during the Continuum Civil War.

They can also just make other people into Q, like Q did with Riker.

It's kinda wild how people are treating this. The Q are trickster gods who can do literally anything. Yet somehow the notion of them lying and the idea that they can do something wildly powerful are both rejected.

Besides, it's Star Trek. It's not like canon actually means anything in this 60+ year old sci-fi franchise.

 

[James Gasik]

Q (DeLancie) claims that he can have a child with just about anything, or, to quote him directly from "The Q and the Grey": "...could have chosen a Klingon targ, the Romulan empress, a Cyrillian microbe."

Usually wary of funny episodes, but for Muppet Star Trek I will make an exception.
