Who Is Amanda?

Star Trek The Next Generation Season 6 True Q

[@TransoceanicOutreach]

2:55 Geordi looks strangely relaxed, slouched in his chair, while talking to an omnipotent alien.

[@hamsterminator]

"Her parents died in an accident" Knowing how powerful the Q are, I can only imagine they made themselves mortal for a laugh and then died as part of the experience!

[@artbrann]

sadly, it was implied the other Q killed them and made it look like an 'accident'(weather control grid fails to stop a huge tornado from smashing their house and only their house)

[@hilaryc3203]

It wasn't implied that the other Q killed them, if I recall it correctly Q outrightly said they did. It was punishment for choosing to live among mortals, to love each other and to bear a child. Q's normally did not love or have children; they were simply created - boom.

[@H4rleyBoy]

It's amazing what reading the script does for actors :) :)

[@VashtheStampede007]

I remember it said that a strange tornado came from the sky out of nowhere and went right through the 24th-century weather modification system (which would have stopped any natural tornado) like it was nothing, and proceeded to destroy the couple’s house. It was an execution ordered by the Q Continuum

[@KMDragonS]

2:39 Picard inner thoughts: Accident? And I got a feeling your fingerprints maybe on it

[@tomservo5347]

The moment my Dad and I always laugh about and still bring up was when Q transported Captain Picard to engineering in his pajamas. Geordie sees him and is like "Wasn't expecting to see you here like this Captain." The Q episodes were some of the best as John de Lancie seemed to really enjoy the role. I saw an episode of 'Barnaby Jones' with a young version of him playing the bad guy. I noticed it must be his personality as I could see a lot of the Q character in him even back then.

[@slevinchannel7589]

Stupid girl, made the wrong decision. Her parents were killed by the Q. Not only does that mean she's going to be with the killers of her parents, but also, it means a lot more. The Q species is primitive and brutal, they kill their own kind if they don't absolutely obey the rules. Also, we have seen what awaits Amanda: the death of the mind, absolute boredom. And also, obviously, as with her parents, if she ever wants to be different than the Q-Typus, she will face death herself... Q even said 'she never had a choice' and hinted on killing her if she refuses him. I could go on, but i stop here. Oh, and yeah, Q Junior being the first Q baby also is a plot hole.

[@fireforeffect1979]

@@slevinchannel7589 Q and Amanda went to visit her parents. Which means they could have pulled them out of time at the exact moment they were "killed". Keeping the time line intact and reuniting Amanda with her parents. The Q have mastered time and space, so time travel is not hard for them. She only lost 18 years with them which is nothing to the a Q who has eternity. Also, yes, Q 's son is a huge plot hole. Almost as big a plot hole as Epstein not killing himself.

[@MichaelBrookham]

To me, this was one of my favourite episodes. The reason is because it is the only one where the crew comes across another Q, aside from the original Q. Most of the people they come in contact with are Klingon, Ferengi, Romulan, etc., but this is the first one to have them come across another Q. I wish they had more episodes like this.

[@ianmoseley9910]

MichaelBrookham They do meet other Q in the civil war?

[@Wesley_H]

Ah, continuity. I love how this episode basically invalidates three episodes of Voyager before they were ever even written. Remember Quinn? The Q who wanted to die because it had “never happened before”. Well there are two dead Q in this episode. But Quinn’s death started a civil war in the continuum which was only ended when two Q mated, which also “never happened before”. And then they had a Q child which, again, “never happened before”.

[@nickdejager8873]

Suicide, dying by choice, is different from being executed by the government. And having child as a lesser species, rather than in Q form, is also different. Beyond that, the Q can and do travel in time. This may have all been after the Q Civil War from their perspective. That said, you're not wrong, either.

[@predabot__6778]

That was a whole big storyline - I believe it was a very controversial decision of his - perhaps related to the Q civil war in that show? Can't quite remember, but it wasn't something out of the blue - and, of course, since the son was Q, he grew sentient quickly. Q did not have a son yet, when this episode aired. I suppose, in part, he may actually have been inspired by the events in this episode, to go down that path eventually...

[@ABW941]

Yes, he finally decided to stay with that female Q he was engaged for 5 billion years or so. And they made their offspring to save the continuum... by touching eachothers fingers.

[@allanrichardson1468]

It's a lot more fun being a mortal than a god. At least in terms of reproduction!

We dont know that. Their finger-touching-sex may be far more exiting than anything we have come up so far. I also dont think they are considered gods, yes they are far more powerfull than many gods we came up with, but they dont need worship, and they are also not the creators or the universe.

[@allanrichardson1468]

ABW941 That’s why I didn’t capitalize the word “god.” Most ancient cultures didn’t attribute absolute immortality to their deities; their myths included one god killing another, a third god or goddess bringing the slain god back to life, etc. in the remote past. And the Norse myths predict a “twilight of the Gods” in the far distant future. So the aliens in the Q Continuum are within the bounds of most ancient polytheistic cultures’ definition of gods. As are the wormhole aliens in DS9.
