dsbs 0 Posted April 25, 2003 Well, on the fun and mischieveous side, one of the first things I would do is make sure the Yankees never have another winning season, at least until Steinbrenner dumps his ownership. On the serious side, I'm not really sure what I would do. My own prime directive philosophy might cause me to not do anything and let everything take it's natural course. I probably would travel the galaxy and observe but I don't think I would blatently use the power like three wishes from a genie. I do believe in that old saying that "Power corrupts and absolutel power corrupts absolutely." Being only human, this would be too much of a threat to myself and those around me. Just like in Hide and Q....I don;t think I'd want myself to have the power of Q. I'm only human after all (yes...human...). But as this is purely hypothetical, why not have some fun?

Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 25, 2003 Fun, okay. I would make all the TNG cast look and feel (wouldn't want some to look 40 and feel like 80) like they did around 1994 for a long time so they could do more movies (all very successful) for as long as I want.

8247 0 Posted April 25, 2003 I have to be honest...If I inherited it right now, I would start off by trying to help the world, but I would then realize that no matter what I did, the idiot people of Earth would continue to screw things up no matter what I did. I would then indulge myself with everything that Earth has to offer, then, I would move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're a bunch of idiots) Yes we are. We've had ages to make this world a better place and we keep screwing it up even worse. Even in Star Trek we didn't get any better till the Vulcans showed up. We're a lost cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsbs 0 Posted April 25, 2003 Exactly. We couldn't even get there by ourselves....I once had to write an essay on why progress is an illusion, and that was one of the examples I used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dsbs 0 Posted April 26, 2003 I dont think even Q has the power to fix this. I just wish there was something I could do (for real, lol!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lessa_Soong 0 Posted April 26, 2003 In some small way, we all have the power. Be the best person you can be. LOve those around you. Forgive, learn, grow, try and love some more. Do what ever you can to keep Gene's dream alive and show the world that it is not impossible if we try. What was it Kirk said...I will not kill today.

Takara_Soong 4 Posted April 26, 2003 Oh I know what I would do. I would move people I don't like to some crappy but survivable planet for a few years - long enough to regain my sanity. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
