Oh, I like him a lot as a character. And De Lancie is great. But if I were on the Enterprise crew, I would fucking hate even hearing the shithead's name.

I don't know, man. Given that first impression, I get it. That kinda shit is hard to overcome, even for humans in Roddenberry's utopian view of humanity.
Also all the Borg stuff happened because he wanted to make a fucking point.

There is a school of thought that he did that to give humanity a chance to get prepared for the Borg since they were already aware of the Federation. Kill me.

Agreed.

The idea that the Borg were already aware of humanity came later. Like McP said Q was trying to make a point but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt that it was part of a grander more benevolent scheme.

The Federation arrogantly believed it could use reason and understanding to bring peace to the galaxy. Q showed them that that universe is an uncaring, brutal place where only superior firepower ensures survival.

Q started out almost from the beginning telling Picard "you don't know what's out there. " Then he sent the Enterprise to the Borg and made them aware of humans and he told Picard "now they're aware of you, so they'll be coming for you. Get ready." So it looks to me like he wanted humanity to do something to ready themselves for the Borg.

I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Trek but I'm pretty sure in subsequent episodes and series that it turned out the Borg were aware of humans prior to the Q Who. Call it a recon if you will. I'm not even sure if we are agreeing or disagreeing on this. I guess what I was going for was I didn't think Q deserved all the scowls. Even if he did maybe crack a smile when he dresses your captain as Robin Hood.

We as viewers can get the humor, but if we were on that ship and he comes along doing all the bullshit he does, it's not hard to see why they didn't like him very much.

Is it the character or the actress you don't like?
Most obnoxious character ever. And she's paired with Odo, who kinda sucks too. But I guess she hides him in her vagina at one point, so that was kinda neat.
