You've got something there, even if Jeph doesn't decide to follow it. If this was TV it'd be spin-off material for certain.

Tova:
True believers will doubtless recall that Spookybot alluded to limits and constraints... the like of which we would not understand. Maybe we'll find out more about that. Or maybe Spookybot will act on that awareness of their very tangential responsibility for Roko's troubles.
Or maybe we'll just have a couple of comics of sass, who knows.

Pretty mild, really. But maybe I've been hanging around here too long. :mrgreen:

Not to be confused with F.C. The Champions. Sorry, the idea of repopulating that sitcom with QC characters, it's just too tempting.

Ah, but did they really "get the better of Q" all those times, or did he allow them to? Remember, most of the time they were being tested, and if there was no possibility they could pass those tests, Q wouldn't even have bothered. Q adhered to a certain set of rules, whatever they may have been, even when he was playing the full Trickster role. (And I'm sure one of his self-imposed rules was to abide by human rules of conduct, at least to a degree). There was literally nothing to stop him from erasing the entirety of humanity from existence, if he so chose, with his signature snap of the fingers.
Q, snapping his fingers before Thanos made it cool.

The fact that the above is a distinct possibility only serves to further reinforce my point. Can you picture Spooky, as currently presented, allowing us pitiful humans anything?
