Q's retort make me laugh the hardest. Riker's reaction makes me wonder if it was an improvised line. But then that would suggest that Q's clap back was also improvised.
I chuckle when I see this episode the quickest tongue and sharpest retorts met only by a sneer and threat of bodily harm. Really the chemistry between them is chefs kiss 😘!
I always found the dynamic between Worf and Q intriguing. Q could easily do away with him if he wanted, but he knew exactly which buttons to push to get him angry. Worf.. well he's just Worf. He never took any unnecessary barbing and he wasn't going to make Q the exception.
I actually suspect that the Q may have something like the Prime Directive or at least a firm rule when it comes to simply killing lower species. I have never seen Q directly slay someone. Annoy them, torture them, put them in lethal situations, but never outright use his powers to kill.

"Drink not with thine enemy -- the rigid Klingon code." During the Klingon Civil War we saw the exact opposite of this. Of course, that was all among fellow Klingons, so maybe it's like Rule of Acquisition 17 -- drink not with thine enemy, unless the enemy is a Klingon.
Worf always followed an ideal that pretty much no other Klingon bothered with. It's like someone trying to follow bushido or chivalry in the modern era completely oblivious to the fact that few if any from those eras actually followed that crap.
@@InfernosReaper I like this idea. I think because Worf grew up around humans, his idea of what it is to be a Klingon is based on 'old school scripture' as it were; probably gleaning most of his information from the Federation's history with the Empire and whatever details of Klingon society they taught in schools. So he kind of represents the 'orthodox' Klingon, while most modern Klingons follow a much more non-orthodox way that probably eschews things like "Drink not with thine enemy," leading Worf to proclaim with shock: "You drink with our enemies!?"
@@SJReid82 yep, all while forgetting that when that war is over, those who survive will be brothers once more so no need to take the vitriol into off hours.
Word got the last laugh knowing that the sisko (the one captain that gave him most respect) punched Q right in the kisser and never had to deal with him again.
@@koalabrownie I don’t see why they wouldn’t, since the Qs are godlike and this Q is so openly arrogant. It feels more fitting, and not unfitting for the Romulans. Though I guess his other appearances in Voyager can make an explanation for it.
@@spaghettitime3263 true, he stands for honor, loyality and rules and he always gets fucked up because of it :-D He is like the Starks from GoT and in the end he dont even get the girl.
Q: “What must I do to convince you people [that I’m only human]???” Warf: “Die!” Q: “Oh very clever Worf, eat any good books lately?!” Quite possible my favorite exchange in all of TV… 😂🤣😂
I think its awesome that an old human 21st Century soldier uniform eventually became one of the more standard uniforms of the Romulan Empire later........at least the material used in its manufacture - its the same, the little grey tiles!!
Im not sure if Worf ever told Sisko about how much of a pain in the ass Q was and how Picard was the only thing keeping him from tearing him in half but I like to think it's the reason he absolutely destroyed him in the bar fight at Quarks
just saying if that was Kirks enterprise when he brought the "fantasy women" onto the bridge im pretty sure it would have been the biggest orgy in star fleet history.
It's too bad Worf wasn't in season 2 of Picard, or Q in season 3 of Picard... Honestly I wish that Q had been throughout season 3, to witness the "final" encounter between Picard and the Borg, it would be one of the few things to make it better
Q and Worf, the best of friends and always there for each other.....
🤣
Kind of a shame that Q and Micro Brain never appeared in DS9 at the same time.
Q: "What must I do to convince you people?!"
Worf: "Die."
This still kills me every time.
Riker's reaction really sells it. 😁
Rikers reaction kills me 🤣😂

And Picard's.
Dorn's voice is a war drum.
Q's retort make me laugh the hardest. Riker's reaction makes me wonder if it was an improvised line. But then that would suggest that Q's clap back was also improvised.
"oh very clever Worf, eat any good books recently?" Is absolutely one of my favorite lines

Worf's quote, 'Die', is one of the best one word one-liners in T.V. history.
The way Riker looks up at him is absolutely perfect as well
"Eat any good books lately?" is an amazing insult
Lol yes
After "Die", it was a firecracker after a photon torpedo.
You’re missing the best quote of all: I am NOT a merry man!
Also, I love how disappointed Worf was when Q snapped away those women.
... while smashing Geordi's lute against a tree. 🤣
I was expecting him to say that here...only to get disappointed
@@ytechnology”sorry”

And Q enjoyed every minute of it.
He's his second favorite person to poke at after Picard
@Chris Stetsko that's because he doesn't have any friends or hobbies 😂
He's just a lonely space wizard
That's because if Q kills Worf, Worf wins. And Q knows it.
I actually suspect that the Q may have something like the Prime Directive or at least a firm rule when it comes to simply killing lower species. I have never seen Q directly slay someone. Annoy them, torture them, put them in lethal situations, but never outright use his powers to kill.
My favorite lines:
Q: What must I do to convince you people (that I am mortal)?
WORF: Die.
Q: Oh, very clever, Worf. Eat any good books lately?
Riker let out a smile, because of everything Q put them through beforehand.
Picard had a hard time not smiling either, but you can see his lip curl.
This was a great answer.
"i can't disappear, anymore than you could win a beauty contest."
opens door to reveal a wall of beauty contest trophies
This killed me 😂
Tbf Worf's appearance has changed a lot. Maybe he had work done.
Given that he was mortal (and hence, liable to pain and injury) Q was taking a chance there....
@@christopherdean1326 Old snarky habits die hard

It is
Any episode of Jerry Springer is a better love story 😁
I wish people would stop saying this.
Nah, I'm just kidding. Never gets old.
@@ShamrockParticleHave you heard the sad news about Jerry Springer?😢
thats not difficult
Q wasn't there, but he was responsible for: "Sir, I must protest! I am _not_ a Merry Man!"
I’m not Klingon but a snarling fishnet clad women on all fours is fine by me. Move over worf
I really wish that scene had lasted longer.
I'm not the kinky type, but I have to wonder at Picard's disdain. What ever happened to not being judgmental about how consenting adults have fun?
@@joeschembrie9450 LaForge was the one who found it weird but that's also coming from a guy who forms an emotional bond with holograms while the ship is being destroyed, so...
I would push Worf out of the way grab that woman by the hair and say "let's go You got your work cut out for you"
@@highlander723cringe
Q with the mariachi band is probably my favorite scene in the whole series.
That and the boxing 🥊 match on DS9 and the trial of Quinn on Voyager.
Worf looked disappointed when those two ladies disappeared...😄
Nah. That was just his Michael Dorn showing. 😏
Picard: I don't feel like celebrating!
Riker: Hold on... let's not be too hasty.
“…and Microbrain..! Growl for me- let me know you still care~!”
Q was always my favorite character. His episodes on TNG were legend.
It's amazing how Worf's character and makeup changed over the series.
"Drink not with thine enemy -- the rigid Klingon code."

“Growl for me, Worf you still care to kill me!” Q
John de Lancie must've loved playing as Q!
"Q" was the greatest Trek character of all time.
“Die” the absolute best one word line in TV history in my opinion.
"I don't need your fantasy women"
From the guy that loves a woman from the Holodeck
Hey, it was before the beard
He still doesn't need Q's fantasy women.
"Worf! Is THIS your idea of sex???" Lol Geordi and his kink shaming.
“Eat any good books lately?” I love that line.
Nobody actually fired a phaser at Q. It would have been interesting to see.
But Sisko did punch him in the face.
@@moffant4916 And Guinan stabbed him with a fork...but that probably doesn't count.
@@moffant4916 Make you think that maybe Picard should have let Worf have his way with Q. It seemed to work well for Sisko.
"Eaten any good books lately??"
Best Q line ever. I've remembered it for years.
It pales compared to "Die".
2:07 "Eat any good books lately?" Now that is hilarious right there!! xD
Word got the last laugh knowing that the sisko (the one captain that gave him most respect) punched Q right in the kisser and never had to deal with him again.
I wish I could see bloopers from their moments.
The only one to out do Worf's stolid if barely confined restraint when it comes to Q is when Sisko punches him.
Geordi showing a lot of judgement for a guy that falls in love with a hologram later.
Whether on TNG, or on Voyager - Q stole the scene(s) whenever he was on. Kudos to John de Lancie.
Too bad it took only one episode in DS9 for Sisko to "punch" Q out of that series.
I’m surprised Q never made any pet jokes for Picard telling Worf to stand down and Worf listening.
He does make the joke about the rug
He makes pet Talaxian jokes on Voyager
The Romulans do that in their introduction. They probably didn't want Q to go that far.
@@koalabrownie I don’t see why they wouldn’t, since the Qs are godlike and this Q is so openly arrogant. It feels more fitting, and not unfitting for the Romulans. Though I guess his other appearances in Voyager can make an explanation for it.
Worf missed a really good chance to sweep the floor with a human Q, once in a eternity.
Love how Picard has to regularly tell Worf to not beat the hell out of Q
Worf was about to shoot the view screen😹
John Sherwood de Lancie, Jr. (born March 20, 1948) is an American actor, best known for his role as Q in various Star Trek series (1987-present).
His head ridges have changed a lot through the episodes. Several times.
Q is right ....humans are ALWAYS suffering!!! Sad but True.
Q,Q,Q. You always find the right words, with or without your magical power. Keep going buddy!!😀👍💖
Riker: "I don't need your fantasy women"!
Me: "Uhhh...I mean...if you don't want them... ✋"
Drink not with thine enemy, several episodes later both sides of a battle are in a bar drinking together.
It was a neutral place, where they are not on opposite sides while there, just fellow Klingons.
Worf is the only Klingon that actually cares about Klingon rules
@@spaghettitime3263 true, he stands for honor, loyality and rules and he always gets fucked up because of it :-D He is like the Starks from GoT and in the end he dont even get the girl.
Q: “What must I do to convince you people [that I’m only human]???”
Warf: “Die!”
Q: “Oh very clever Worf, eat any good books lately?!”
Quite possible my favorite exchange in all of TV… 😂🤣😂
My head canon is that prior to Picard season 3, Worf was on a self improvement journey because Q tried to make amends and it didn't go over well.
Q must annoy the Enterprise crew, and every other Starfleet officer knows about Q. Q will get recognized on every starship and Starbase.
Also, evolution of Worfs makeup
So funny ❤ watching Q today on STNG and him not winning a beauty contest made me laugh 😂
Riker without beard is such a shocking sight.
Worf has the scene of Siskio punching him on repeat!
The look riker gives worf when he says 'die'
I think its awesome that an old human 21st Century soldier uniform eventually became one of the more standard uniforms of the Romulan Empire later........at least the material used in its manufacture - its the same, the little grey tiles!!
The fact that Q was not used in any of the movies is a crime.
Eat any good books lately? XD
I'm gonna steal this one.
Im not sure if Worf ever told Sisko about how much of a pain in the ass Q was and how Picard was the only thing keeping him from tearing him in half but I like to think it's the reason he absolutely destroyed him in the bar fight at Quarks
I suspect that news of that is at least part of why Worf is intimidated by The Sisko.
@@InfernosReaper I always though it was because Worf saw Sisko's holodeck program where he went by Hawk and carried a Colt Python.
Q is right about fairness. That concept only matters to a species where the Creator treats them all spiritually equal.
At 2:52 Wrof was like, oh man I feel like celebrating!
just saying if that was Kirks enterprise when he brought the "fantasy women" onto the bridge im pretty sure it would have been the biggest orgy in star fleet history.
Ah, lust. Thy name is Mudd.
Logical.
When Q said he can't disappear, Worf should have commanded, "Then be quiet.
1:31 - I call dibs! Off to the holodeck! If I’m not back in three hours, send in a mortician.
BE QUIET!!! 😂😂😂
Q is the greatest. A teacher posing as a trickster buffoon. He must know Yoda.
Worf: WHY YOU LITTLE
You weren’t like that before the beard!😂
Worfs original headpiece lol.
Q the music.
Q referred to Data as alive. He is alive because of conciousness. A light, soul, I am.
AI HAS NO SOUL!!!!
1:10 - I feel like I've seen this conversation somewhere before... Oh yeah. This conversation happened later on in Return of Harmony.
The best one, oh very clever Worf eat any good books lately 😂
Worf, eat any books lately? 😂😂😂
picards goatee and stache reminds me of the original robin hood errol flynn
1:38 lol no place for it what possess you lol
Worf has no fear.
The number of times Picard and Riker had to stop Worf from disemboweling some douche.
1:50 Down, boy!
I'd say Patrick Stewart would've made a rather ruthless Sheriff of Nottingham.
Micro brain in a macro head.😂😂😂
Someone needs to write a purity called "Microbrain" to the song Purple Rain
“Drink not with thine enemy” is a Klingon custom? Kurn doesn’t seem to think so in Redemption.
Imagine if Worf found out Sisko punched Q in the face
Microbrain is ok as a nickname but I prefer what he calls Neelix - Bar Rat!😅😅😅
they didnt put the scene with them in the turbolift
I wonder how Lore would react if Q called him microbrain!
Eat any good books lately 😊😊 Worf looks better in Red
2:06
It's too bad Worf wasn't in season 2 of Picard, or Q in season 3 of Picard...
Honestly I wish that Q had been throughout season 3, to witness the "final" encounter between Picard and the Borg, it would be one of the few things to make it better
Q became a more likable character towards the end of the series.
Game respect Game!
I'm just saying, that is also my idea of sex
'I don't need your fantasy women.' Kirk would've kept them, those chicks were fine.
Tasha Yar.. Yes please
Ol Microbrain
2:18 Dissapear
Micro-brain! Growl for me so I know you still care
"Eat any good books lately?" 🤣Decades later and this still makes me laugh every time.
always hated how they had Worf growl at Q.
I'm surprised nobody got slapped! (Sorry… too soon? :-)
Virgin Q vs Chad Worf
You know worf you'd make an excellent throw rug in nottingham castle .....q was such an Ass... lol
