see I WOULD have thought that the Cruella movie spoilers I’ve seen here were for sure fake, but I’ve learned my lesson from “Mr. Mime is doused in gasoline and burned alive” and “Palpatine fucks”
studios making “gritty” modern reboots of children’s cartoons:
Okay, but Aaravos actually keeping his word but his and Virens dynamic taking a complete turn with Aaravos making it very clear who is now whose master and getting Viren to humble himself enough to ask him ‘How may I serve you?’
Honestly, the concept that Q needs Picard more than Picard needs him is interesting. Because it would be so utterly foreign and frankly maybe even a bit terrifying for Q if he ever were to be confronted by this.
Because he is the godlike, ancient entity and Picard is the human. If between the two of them one should feel the need for the others company even from a distance or even just in thougths than it should be Picard.
Yet instead, Q is the one who has to vie for Picards attention.
Picard: How many times have you been in my bed ?
Q: With or without your knowledge?
The wish of a god, or even just the wish of a godlike entity, was not something that the universe could just leave unanswered.
So, when a being with the power to lay waste and create entire galaxies with just a snip of their hands had found themselves in the rather unfortunate siutation of having confessed something they were sure was unrequited, the universe listened.
Listened to a wannabe-god trying not to let it show how desperate and almost embarrassingly earnest he was.
And how everything inside of him begged and foolishly hoped that a french starship captain at the very least felt something similiar.
So, while wishes alone of mere mortal men can not even move a single corn of rice, reality itself can sometimes bend itself in order to please a Q.
Even if said Q is not (entirely) aware of it.
Considering the trailer, I am going to be making the prediction that Viren won’t survive the sereies but won’t necessarily die in Season 5 but probably in season 6 or season 7 tops. Season 5 will be the built up for finding a way to stop the Mage Fam (or at leat what remained of it) while also trying to find a way to kill Aaravos in case they fail (which they will).
I think they are going to keep Viren around for at least season 6 since I think Viren is going to sacrifice himself trying to stop Aaravos even if Virens only and main motiviation would be in trying to keep Claudia from becoming another one of Aarvos puppets like he had become.
Season 5 is probably going to end with Claudia and Terry freeing Aaravos despite Rayllumm and Cos. combined efforts. And it’s going to be just in time before Virens ultimate demise.
I think the worst thing Picard could ever say to Q is “You mean nothing to me.”

THE HUMAN CONDITION
Let’s all take a moment to remember that in Deja Q, poor Q, who was scared upon experiencing for the first time in millions of aeons what it’s like to have a mortal body that falls asleep for example, told Picard that he needed guidance, and Picard just brushed him off.
Q told Picard, whom he trusted out of ALL beings in the Universe, that he needed support in learning what it was to be human, and Picard just came back with, “If you want to continue with this charade, you can do it alone.”
I felt bad for Q. The anxiety at being in a fragile, human body, and cut off from his home, The Universe, and all that he had ever known in his existence, and not a single person could be bothered to give him at least some sort of orientation into having a human body. Come ON! It didn’t even have to be a good orientation. A few explanations of what it’s like to be tired, what it feels like when you have to go to the bathroom, feel hunger, etc.
We know the anxiety and even FEAR when something unexpected happens in our bodies (a sudden pain, bleeding, etc). We know this to be true.
Granted, Q is feeling normal sensations, but DAMN!
He must’ve been so scared.
And he STILL loved Picard enough to throw a party at the end and give him ALL the credit for saving him from the Calamarain when Q2 did it! 🥲🥲😭😭😭
I just…can’t.
