    Sisko punched Q? I watched a lot of next generation and deep space as a kid, not all, I don’t consider myself a trekkie, but I am familiar. Q on next Gen I know, and when me and the SO did a rewatch she hated Q (I love him! He deserves to be punched but he is soooo good)

    I don’t remember Sisko punching him. Did Q later reveal to Sisko how he allowed that to happen? The Qs are all but omnipotent compared to the other races right?

    Sadly Netflix dropped next Gen when we were about 50 episodes in (very early season 2) and we haven’t switched out for a VPN (yet)so I rely on yall for unbiased truthful answers.

      One of the first DS9 episodes. Q taunts Sisko, goading him into hitting him, and Sisko does it.

      In universe, I think this was Q presenting Sisko with a test, which Sisko failed because he let his temper get the best of him, so he promptly left and didn’t return.

      Out-of-universe, it was clearly meant to convey to the viewer early on that Sisko isn’t like Picard, you shouldn’t expect him to be like Picard, that he’s a more emotional and volatile character.
