  Star Trek: The Q Continuum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Q shows Picard his history, and eventual meeting with another omnipotent being called 0 ("Zero"), who Q eventually helps escape from his frozen prison planet in another plane of the multiverse.
Q's attempt to help arrest the four is recognized, and his punishment is relatively light, with Q's rehabilition to include repairing a small planet, the third in distance from a Class G star that had been thriving with dinosaurs.
Q makes several appearances in the novels, as well as, of course, being present on the Enterprise E while Picard and her husband are in the past.

 Q (Star Trek) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This Q was apparently something of a rebel within the Q race, and his antics occasionally got him into trouble with his fellow Q and served as an inspiration for the Q that the Voyager crew would know as Quinn, who admired his restlessness and inquisitiveness.
Q is one of the most beloved recurring characters on Star Trek: The Next Generation, in large part because of the comedic and dramatic chemistry between actors de Lancie and Patrick Stewart (who plays Picard, captain of the Enterprise).
In one Season 3 episode, "Déjà Q", Q is punished by the Continuum by being turned into a mortal, in this case (by his own choosing) a human on board the Enterprise.

 Q Continuum - Memory Alpha
The Q Continuum is an extradimensional plane of existence inhabited by a race of beings known as the Q.
As a race, the Q are apparently both nearly immortal and nearly omnipotent, possessing the ability of instantaneous matter-energy transformation and teleportation, as well as the ability of time travel.
Based on descriptions by numerous Q, including the Q later known as Quinn, as well as Amanda Rogers (the child of two Q in Human form), the Q Continuum is a highly ordered society, but is also the result of eons of evolutionary stagnation.

 Star Trek Lives - Life-Forms - Q Continuum
However, Q did not cease his antics, and he came back in 2367 once again to the Enterprise-D. During a meeting of the Federation Archaeological Council, he cast everyone into a simulation of Robin Hood and his merry men.When the game was ended, Q took Picard's old flame Vash and vanished.
Q returned once again to evaluate a human who was actually one of his own to determine if she is fit to wield the power of a full Q. This woman, Amanda Rogers, experienced the exhilaration of possessing god-like powers, but was not corrupted by them.
Q told him that his death resulted solely from his bad judgment as a youth and offered him a chance to relive his life to avoid the mistakes that would lead to this untimely death.

 Q   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The Q being, usually taking the form of a human male, is known to have confronted the El-Aurian native Guinan around 2166, a century before the Borg scattered her people and over 250 years after she first encountered Captain Picard and his crew when they were time-traveling in old San Francisco.
Because of such ongoing meddling, Q was reportedly stripped of all his powers by the Continuum and banned again circa Stardate 43539, choosing human form in refuge aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise to hide out from all his enemies.

 [No title]
Q even gives Picard a way out; he says "What you choose to do with it is entirely up to you." Had Picard been possessed of his usual common sense, he would have relived events precisely as they originally occurred, accepted that he would die on the operating table, and dealt with the consequences.
Q initially appears in his most malevolent mode, reprising his role as the judge in the 21st century atomic court of horrors from "Encounter at Farpoint." He is at his most sadistic and autocratic, but this time he is the hero, not the villain, providing Picard with leadership he desperately needs.
Q's interactions with Vash are laden with spoken and unspoken references to Picard, and Q is disappointed that Sisko (Avery Brooks) cannot serve as an adequate substitute for the Captain.

Q has appeared in episodes of Deep Space Nine and Voyager, and it has long been rumoured that John DeLancie would reprise the role in one of the Star Trek films, but he has sadly yet to materialise on the big screen.

Q rolls off a litany of all the limits of being human: wearing clothes, being too hot or too cold, growing feeble with age, losing his hair, having to bathe, suffering from various physical ailments.
He can take on the role the Continuum’s enforcer of the rules: In True Q, he is sent to bring a stray Q into the fold -- or else execute her; in Encounter at Farpoint and All Good Things, he presides over the Continuum’s trial of humanity.
Eventually, Q’s idea is put into action: He fathers the child with a fellow Q. She is an Eight, and not likely to let him slip out of his responsibility -- the hard work.

 Q
John de Lancie, whose portrayal of the mercurial character Q in Star Trek: The Next Generation has made him internationally (if not intergalactically) famous, was not always an omnipotent being descended from the Q Continuum.
Born in the City of Brotherly Love to Andrea and John de Lancie, young John distinguished himself while in his pre-teen years by flunking the fifth grade after racking up the most detentions ever given a child his age.
John's television acceptance speech has become a classic and it is still aired on highlight reels fifteen years later as he thanks, "in order of importance", those elements instrumental to his success: "props, cue cards and the lunch truck."

 Q CONTINUUM
To quickly recap, the Q (keyboard and rack) is a 16-note polyphonic virtual analogue synth, expandable to 32 notes.
Unlike the Q keyboard and Q Rack, the Micro Q has an external power supply and the one which arrived with the review unit was a bulky, Euro-type two-pronged monstrosity.
The Micro Q's single-DSP design also means that the number of simultaneous effects are reduced from the Q's eight to five and the delay effect can only be used in the Global effect slot.

Q and Picard watch the fall of the Tkon empire (again, something that merits no more than a couple of chapters...but stretches through the entirety of this book).
The book provides an interesting aspect of the Q continuum as it describes a war of the Q with these entitites.
