  • To be honest, the Q-level powers in Trek always made me a little uncomfortable. In a purely mechanistic universe, it feels correct that there should be things that are physically impossible, which constrains stories in a satisfying way; not allowing dramatic conflicts to be easily disposed of as if by magic. For a deep-space exploration ship to stumble upon one or two godlike aliens can be interesting, but at this point the galaxy seems packed to the gills with species so absurdly powerful it’s not really that interesting any more.











  • I think it depends on who’s in whose universe. Does the Force exist in Star Trek’s version of the Galaxy? Do the scientific principles that make phasers work also function in a galaxy far, far away? A Jedi without the Force wouldn’t be useless, but might be at a disadvantage after suddenly becoming “mind-blind.” Meanwhile, Starfleet’s officers stripped of their phasers would have to resort to the two-fisted punch!
