A week in the ICU with very few visitors gave me time to find a new hobby! Does anyone on my TL paint these?

I know JR wanted to leave, I just don't agree with that "Oh I guess I killed myself" because so much of the show's audience resonated with Q's mental issues. I believe it could have been handled better, that's all

He went on a quest, he went traveling to other worlds to find magic, he went off to chronicle adventures, he went to find Middle Earth...he was intelligent and observant and there were so many other options for an exit. AO3 has dozens of fics that fans created (including the ones I penned!)

I was recovering from cancer when a friend sent me the first book. I went through them again and again! I know JR wanted to leave but damn, the way I loved my Q!

Check your laughter, friend, because I was literally AT the 2018 NYCC panel where the writers said this. JR can't speak on it because of contracts etc but the head writers said they wanted to show anyone could die and because of "cosmic whimsy."

No, he didn't, that was 100% the series writers doing.

Count_Bakula_Writes_Trek @countbakulawrites.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The writers did it to show "Anyone can die." As someone who's had multiple suicides in my family, that's not a "lesson" I needed.

Star Trek and music are both important to me
Epic handshake meme. Left is Star Trek, right is music, crossover is "It's been a long road..."

Remember when Garak had his own call-in show during the war? #StarTrek #StarTrekMemes #StarTrekDS9
Top left: Garak is speaking into a microphone, "You're listening to The Catty Corner. I'm Garak, your host. Quark, who is our first caller?"

Top right: Quark is shown speaking into his own microphone. He says, "We've got Captain Boday on line 1."

Bottom left: Garak listens to his incoming caller. "Hi, Garak. Long time listener, first time caller. I was just wondering if you have seen the Breen uniforms."

Bottom right: Garak passionately replies to his caller, "Dear me, yes! Aren't they just garish and grotesque? To any Breen who may be listening, I know a good tailor in the Bajor System."
