Q is like Ayn Rand

There is possibly an essay there on Q and objectivism, but it's way too early in the morning for me to contemplate it. Though I'd think questions of ethical self-interest and the necessity of choosing your own values probably does become rather more vitally important when you are damn near literally omnipotent and capable of rewriting reality if left unchecked.

On the subject of Q being a narcissistic asshole, though: he's a trickster god. They always are. Even the ones who are genuinely working for the net good of the people under their care (which Q arguably is) are usually assholes about it. It's most of the fun with tricksters.

From a distance, obviously. On a personal level, I suspect most people would want to do a Sisko on it and just punch the bastard. That's the beauty of the TV screen, though. You can like all the assholes, because you don't have to personally deal with them.

Which is good, because Q is still one of my favourite Trekverse characters.

This comment is good and you should feel good for making it. IA 100%

Sisko punching Q is definitely the single most obvious reason Sisko is the best captain, though.

Also, I do agree that Q is a trickster-god, and I do like Q, but I like him far less than I usually like trickster-gods. He's just, by the standards of trickster gods, really kinda... small minded, I guess.

To be fair to him, in between the petty tricks and small annoyances, he also steered interstellar civilisations into contact with each other, fought a civil war among his own (omnipotent) people, reintroduced the idea of procreation among his own people, and willingly tried to sacrifice his existence for the greater good when given no other options. So, I mean. He's petty and small-minded in personal interactions, but he's got a fair few larger goals playing in the background.

This.

Q has a lot of moral fiber, he's just crass about things that are important to mortals because of his scale.
