Guinan

Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on her?
I've wondered what business she's had with the Q - possibly she is a part of the Q Continuum (not necessarily a Q)?

I reckon she is a Q in disguise, but one that abides by some sort of rules: the Q might have their own 'prime directive' and Guinan chooses not to interefere. She and Q squared off a bit with cheesy 'stances' in "Q Who" so Im assuming she could somehow combat him? Sheer speculation there.

Or perhaps she was formerly a Q and was cast out for reasons unknown.

I quite like that idea - maybe she was given a guise of an El-Aurian and perhaps her friendship with Picard centralised about him saving her? She said that she was in a [very] lot of trouble and he saved her - due to the none-linear timeline, it is conceivable that it happened before the late 1800s (Time's Arrow) so that she had the El-Aurian guise for that time, but happened well after when Picard may have saved her?
I like that possible explanation.

Or she's just an El-Aurian, an exceptionally long-lived species with slight empathic powers and a keen insight to the true nature of people. Yeah, I am the fun killer =)

Yes but as we've seen its easy for the Q to assume different forms. Q once turned, er....Q, into an amoeba in a Voyager episode.

So lets say that there is a trial, and 'guinan' is cast out of the continuim, but she can choose any species. Perhaps, as a Q, she found the El-Aurians the most fascinating and decided to become one. Or maybe she's half-Q?

Who knows. but I reckon that there was always more to Guinan than met the eye. She'd been to the Nexus and somehow returned, as I recall from generations?

speaking of that, what was the reason why she didn't try to get back to the nexus again?

She was content enought not to. She had self control.

I think she is Just a ordinary person with great perseption.

Guinan was centered enough not to go back, unlike Soran. She felt great loss, but she knew it wasn't real.

She's an awesome character. ANd her hats rocks.

Guinan: Guess how smart I am.
Q: It's over 9,000!
Guinan: Now guess how strong I am.
Q: It's over 9,000!

lol!

Would be neat if she was Q but sadly both actor and actress are aging rapidly and the likelyhood of another Generation movie seems unlikely to me.

I always thought she deserved a bigger role on the ship. Best part Woopie ever played I think and did a much better at councelling than the damn councelor.

I didnt really like her for some reason. Just didnt really like her.

She was thrown out of the nexus for attempting to re-enact the movie 'ghost'.

Well, we surmise thru Data that she can apparently perceived things beyond linear time. Other than that, she's like most bartenders...

*shrug*
I never really paid much attention to her, for me she was just another background character. I found her neither interesting nor boring, rather 'meh'.

I didnt like how in yesterdays enterprise Picard made a huge choice because she had a funny feeling.
