The Star Trek Q Spinoff Showcase

Isn't it about time Star Trek's Q had a spin-off TV series? Here are a few entirely serious suggestions...

My god’s got no nose!How does he smell?He’s omnipotent!

With CBS commissioning a new Star Trek series, and Michael Dorn’s talk of a Worf spinoff, we felt it was time to give a spotlight to our favourite omnipotent being, Q. Considering the delicious and grotesque puns used as episode titles whenever he graced the bridge with his presence, we feel as if there are a number of potential shows that could take the franchise in new, cost-effective, and definitely original direction. And there’s just some where we came up with a pun but it didn’t make sense even to us, but we’re running with it anyway because we commit to our half-baked ideas even when they run out of steam after going on too long like this sentence.

Judge Qdy

Q threatens Picard each week with the destruction of humanity unless he can pay a $50 fine and promise to stop sleeping with those other women.

The Qpprentice

What task is too menial for an entity? 15 Qs battle for the ultimate prize, a business loan with fellow self-appointed god Alan Sugar, where they are forced every week to clean windows to prove they are serious about their ill-advised telemarketing business. Featuring guest analysis from Simon Brew to cries of “why is this on Den of Geek?”

The Jeremy Qyle Show

Q meets members of the public and mocks them for being mortal and poor. Basically like the current Jeremy Kyle Show, except with a host that is actually omnipotent and doesn’t just think he is.

In this gritty New York cop drama, Q rubs his colleagues up the wrong way by always knowing who the murderer is, on account of his omniscience.

He-Man And The Masters Of The Qniverse

The joke here is that Q wears a bra and fights Skeletor, which actually makes as much sense as the original but wouldn’t sell as many toys.

The Q Team

Q puts together a team of crack commando squadron of Enterprise officers accused of violating the prime directive, and uses his god like powers to make a tank each week.

Red Q Diaries

Softcore pornography series where Q has sex with Tasha Yar in impossible positions, like trying out the Kama Sutra if it had been drawn by Escher.

Q Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown

Out of spite, Q makes his own spinoff of the spinoff, and changes the format to replace all the letters with Q, include an imaginary numbers round, and change the countdown qnundrum to contain a million letters. At the end, he condemns humanity to death for being a dangerous, savage, child race. Thanks, Jimmy Carr.
