Comment on Let's say the Borg somehow managed to assimilate a Q. How fucked is the universe?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 months agoAnother option: Assimilating a Q assuming human form is the exact same thing as assimilating any other human. They get no more knowledge of their powers, and maybe only some understanding of the universe as a whole because they only get what’s able to actually work inside that meat brain, and not the whole sum of the being of the Q who was assimilated.

This seems logical, but when the continuum revokes or disables Q’s powers in TNG he still appears to be a super-intelligence. I would think even that degree of power could potentially augment and improve the capabilities of the Borg by orders of magnitude.
I don’t know if he appears more intelligent than an average human. He tells the captain to change the universal constant of gravity, because that’s something he used to be able to do, and when reminded that he can’t he has no helpful suggestions.

Put into that frame, it’s like Marty McFly using Gray’s Almanac to place bets. A temporary boon with limited implications compared to the span of the Q continuum.
