Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Q put humanity on trial.

In the episode "Encounter at Farpoint", the Enterprise embarked on its debut mission: solve the mystery of Farpoint Station (which turned out to be the fact it was an alien lifeform separated from its mate). On the way to the station, Q appeared and declared humanity a dangerous, savage, child race. Q decided to put humanity (with Picard and the Enterprise as its representative) on trial. Picard appeared to win the trial, but as Q would later admit in "True Q", the jury was still out and in "All Good Things", Q stated that the trial never ended.
2. Q gave Riker the powers of the Q.

"Hide and Q" was the second episode that featured Q, and it was in that episode in which Q gave Commander Riker powers of the Q. The explanation that Q gave was that humans have become more powerful throughout the ages and will continue to do so, perhaps becoming even more powerful than the Q Continuum. Q gave Riker powers so that the Q might better understand humans.

Although Riker at first enjoyed the powers (giving Geordi his sight back, aging Wesley ten years, providing a Klingon mate for Worf, attempting to make Data human), they declined, and Riker realized it was too much power for himself and gave it back.
3. Q introduced Starfleet to the Borg.

In "Q Who?", Q offered to be a member of Picard's crew stating that he had experience with the aliens that lived throughout the galaxy, and he would be willing to help Picard gain the needed experience. Picard refused, and Q flung the Enterprise thousands of light years away from their current location into a region of space where they would encounter the Borg. Picard tried to reason with or defeat the Borg, but he was unsuccessful. Picard eventually conceded Q's point (that Picard needed Q's help), and Q once again flung the Enterprise thousands of light years, this time back to their original location.

In a previous episode ("The Neutral Zone"), a mysterious lifeform scooped up colonies on a planet, which this episode confirmed to be the Borg. Furthermore, later episodes would reveal the Borg had knowledge of humanity. Likewise, Q offered to join the crew, but when Picard accepted the fact that he needed Q's help, Q shortly left the ship, so it would seem as if Q was merely preparing humanity for the Borg rather than introducing the Borg to a new species to assimilate.
4. Q appeared naked on the bridge of the Enterprise.

In "Deja Q", Q was kicked out of the Q Continuum and stripped of his powers (and apparently clothes, since he appeared on the bridge naked). This was a result of his prior visit to the Enterprise where he introduced them to the Borg. Q was allowed to choose what to become, so he picked human and was sent to the Enterprise with Picard, the closest thing he had to a friend.

However, as the episode progressed, it was clear that the real reason he chose the Enterprise was because Q knew they would save him from his enemies that would like to get revenge on Q now that he was mortal.
5. Q had the senior officers take part in a recreation of Robin Hood.

In "Qpid", Q learned about Picard's affection for Vash, so he decided to show that love brought out the worst in him. He decided to do this by recreating the Robin Hood mythos with Picard as Robin Hood and Vash as Maid Marian. Other senior officers played other roles: Data as Friar Tuck, Riker as Little John, Worf as Will Scarlett, and Geordi as Alan-a-Dale. Picard took on the task of rescuing Vash single-handedly, which Vash pointed out brought out the best, not the worst, in Picard proving Q wrong. Once Q's "game" was over, Vash decided to travel with Q exploring the unknown parts of the galaxy.
6. Starfleet commander Benjamin Sisko punched Q.

In "Q-less", Q's only appearance on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", he was pining after Vash. Vash had left Q during their trip to the Gamma Quadrant and she was discovered by Lieutenant Dax and Ensign Pauley, who took her to Deep Space Nine after their runabout had malfunctions, which would later plague Deep Space Nine. (It was discovered that one of the artifacts Vash brought back caused these problems.) All the while, Q was a nuisance to the senior officers of Deep Space Nine. One particular way was engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Commander Sisko.

After Q took several shots at the commander, Sisko returned the favor by punching Q in the face. Q was shocked seeing as Picard never hit him, but as Sisko replied, he wasn't Picard.
7. Q took part in a trial in which another Q wanted to die.

In "Death Wish", the Voyager crew transported a member of the Q Continuum, later called Quinn, onboard. Quinn requested asylum onboard Voyager and if he won, he wanted to become mortal. This was because the thing Quinn wanted to do most of all was die, because he had done everything in life, and the only thing left was to experience death. Quinn argued that it would force the Q Continuum into the unknown.

He even brought Q, Janeway, and Tuvok into the continuum (in a way understandable to humanoids) to show how dull life was there.

In the end, Janeway's decision was to rule in Quinn's favor and Q gave Quinn Nogatch hemlock so that he could die as he wanted to.
8. Q was part of a Q civil war.

As a result of Quinn's death, the Q Continuum experienced chaos, and that chaos resulted in a civil war, an event that Janeway experienced in "The Q and the Grey". Q believed that mating with Janeway would end the civil war, because the infusion of human DNA would help the Continuum.

He tied to woo her with a romantic evening and puppies, but this was not enough. Janeway convinced Q that she was not interested in him and suggested another Q. In fact, a female Q had appeared on Voyager stating that she once had a fling with Q.

This satisfied Q and helped end the civil war. The Q mating ritual was performed by having the two Q touch fingers with one another.
9. Q had his son (played by the actor's real-life son) visit Voyager.

In the episode "Q2" (the title of which refers to Q's son), Q2 brought chaos to the Q Continuum, so the crew ordered Q to control his son. This was hard for Q due to Q being unfamiliar with parenthood, so he decided to leave his son on Voyager under Janeway's care...and without Q2's powers. Q2 was still uncooperative, but things started to change once Q2, with Icheb onboard, took a shuttlecraft and entered the territory of an alien race, thus violating their laws. Icheb got injured, and Janeway ordered Q2 to head back to the region of the alien race and apologize. This alien race wished to punish Janeway, since she was Q2's guardian, and it was parents/guardians who were punished for their child's mistakes. Q2 volunteered himself to take the punishment, and the alien revealed himself to be Q. He wanted to test Q2 to see if he would be selfless hoping that would satisfy the Q Continuum. It didn't, but Q managed to convince the continuum not to punish Q2.

Q's son was played by John de Lancie's then 16-year-old son Keegan. This was not intentional - Keegan was one of many actors who auditioned for the role, and he was selected as the best fit for the role.
10. Q failed to get junior officers to take part in his mind games.

In the episode "Veritas", Q appeared twice: once in a flashback and once at the end of the episode. Junior officers Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford were brought before a court to testify about the actions of the senior officers. One brief flashback was about Q putting the officers through a game dressed as chess pieces.

At the end of the episode, Q appeared in the present day and challenged the junior officers to a duel as part of a game to test humanity. However, the four of them refused and kept walking.

This caused Q to leave the Cerritos.
