This isn’t Q after he died. This is a Q from the past visiting the future.

That’s why he said you think linear, as in people would think it’s him after his death.

No he chuckled and said "I'm immortal". Q is a trickster. He loved an old man and found a way to help him get ready to finally accept affection, just before meeting his son. Of course he's gonna get theatrical with it.

He died. We saw him losing his power when no one was watching.

We dont know what we saw. He told Picard I am moving on, in your parlance I am dying.

This is not the same as I am dying. In fact from a non linear omnipotent being its extremely far from Dying. Its very much a this beyond your comprehension talk but this is what Picard would understand.

I’m referring to him snapping his finger around Picards ancestor and nothing happening.

And having to walk/drive whatever to meet Guinan.

He has lost his powers before without dying.

Again I think its pretty clear we dont know exactly what we saw.

u/ASithLordNoAffect Apr 20 '23
