Ah... wasn't that just a representation of one of their weapons? So that the VOY crew could conceive of what they were holding, or something along those lines?Rochey wrote:Given that they can be held hostage with a musket, I'm guessing no.

Re: Daimon Bok and Picard and 'Survivors'
Regardless of what it was meant to represent it shows that technology, if sufficiently advanced, can kill a Q. If they can be killed they're not omnipotent, and not gods.

Re: Daimon Bok and Picard and 'Survivors'
Not at the time, but what it was isn't really relevent - it was clearly a piece of technology, given that Voyager's crew were able to use them.
Given that a decent right cross was able to knock a couple of Q's teeth down his throat, however, it's not inconceivable that a musket might be able to kill one of them.

The boxing ring scenario was, certainly. The knuckle sandwich, on the other hand, wasn't.

Quinn explicitly told Tuvok in Deathwish that the Q weren't omnipotent.

They only like to believe they are.
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

No, no, no, no, no. The Q pretend to be omnipotent - DITL mods are omnipotent. Surely you haven't forgotten already?
