John De Lancie Returns As Q

One of the key decisions about his return involved not wearing tights. This is, of course, referring to the costumes of older Star Trek. While The Next Generation may be one of the best, no one can deny that the costumes might have been awkward to wear. John De Lancie was very happy not to be wearing his old costume.

That was already – i was half way into accepting the job when i heard that “oh well that’s a good thing”

John De Lancie On Returning As “Q” – Star Trek: Picard Season 2 Blu-Ray Special Features

Star Trek: Picard Season 2 reveals that Q has aged. He hasn’t technically, but he “updates” his appearance to match Jean-Luc Picard (Sir Patrick Stewart). It’s a touching moment that both culls a large VFX budget and shows Q wants to torment his long-time adversary. De Lancie recounts how the creative team wanted “an expanse of time”. Especially when it came to his beard. Q’s new look certainly fits with the evolution of his character.

Alex Kurtzman speaks about how Q still wants to be this “Devilish trickster”. However, we know by the end of Picard Season 2, Q has a change of heart. Additionally, Kurtzman speaks about why Q has this obsession with Jean-Luc. Therefore over the course of the second season, we as viewers understand more, especially when it comes to the personal relationship between Q and Picard.
