I 'd
LOVE to have that additional power, the power of the
Q.

That 's
not part of the storyline,
besides, Picard is an old man.
Kirk was better a better captain.

Space travel and time travel are
THRILLING.
I 'm a
very intense supporter of the Space Program.
I 'd multiply NASA's budget by 2OO,
but
private exploration of Space is
better.

Me, I'd have said "Thanks but no thanks mate".
I
loved those few episodes with The Traveller in the script.
Thay were very creative. (I watch the re-runs of those eps.)
Admittedly, to have gone on that trip with him woud have taken
courage.
If I had the power of the Q, the first thing I 'd do is
eliminate,
annihilate, any and all government control of gun possession,
or faser possession. Its neat, how the target
VANISHES from a faser blast.
No need to dispose of the target. I was discussing with a friend in NY
that he shud plan his anti-burglary defenses beforehand
so that he need not
START to decide what to do
when an emergency is already in progress or when
he has shot an ugly dead thing on the floor of his apartment.
It might be difficult for him to get rid of it without involvement of police;
potentially
awkward taking the dead target down in the elevator,
if he meets his nabors. He has a lot of guns, but its un-likely that he has fasers.
Maybe he coud use the freight elevator; I dunno. What do u think ?

and quit Star Fleet and all that space stuff, good for him..
He accepted The Traveller 's offer and
he went with him, with his mom's blessing.
She counseled him to "dress warmly on those other planes of existence."
I was very pleased with that. In the 1990s, I had a friend named Andre,
a lad who looked exactly like Wil Wheaton; good fellow.
He subsequently became a medic in the US Army.
He might be a general by now, for all I know, but I was struck by the very close
similarity of appearance. His mother introduced him to me on his 13th birthday.
I mentioned that similarity to him, but he did not appear to like it.
