God Q as recurring. Hopefully with three skills and not just cmd-dip-sec.
Q2 is Q's son.
Q2 is not the character featured in the Voyager Episode "Q2" but instead Corbin Bernsen Q.
Q2 as a 5*… great!
Riker Q as a 4*… great!
Early event announcement... great!
EDIT: after the first mega event announcement, my prediction of the 5*/4* Q variants is still holding up - God Q as recurring 5*, 4 left Qs as 4*, 4 right Qs as 5*
Mostly excited for Q as God as the recurring! I've been hoping for that since we found out the Continuum would be involved in the Mega. Thanks DB!
I thought "Q2" was Corbin Bernson Q?
What would the Corbin Bernsen version be called then?
Not this guy: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Q_(Junior)
Q2 is Corbin Bernson
Yes. I think that although the Episode was called "Q2", the offspring of Q and Lady Q was called "Q Junior". {And played by John DeLancey's real life son, IIRC.}
I always though Q2 was Corbin. I can't remember if he was referred as such or not in the episode.......

I would say Command {God, after all}/Diplomacy {welcomes people to "heaven" and gets them calmly settled in/Medical? {For the further events within the episode? Picard's medical history being edited and such?} But no idea what their thought process will be.
In the Most Wanted Ships and Crew thread, Corbin Bernson was Q2 and Q's son is Q Jr. Nothing else really makes sense. In the credits, I think Corbin Bernson was also listed as Q.
But... I was clearly wrong about the legendary vs SR's. Only took one event to prove me wrong, lol. Oh well... I may have been the first to request Q2, so you know I'll be gunning for him.
Someone in another thread mentioned the famous Arthur C. Clarke quote "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic," so I'm hoping that DB takes note and gives him SCI or ENG (but not expecting it, to be honest). Beyond that, that whole episode was meant to be some sort of therapy on Picard's soul, so he should hopefully have MED.
It's obviously Corbin Bernson from the TNG episode.
I looked up his stats. The bases are quite low. Mintakan Riker is "decrepit" at this point.
Since MED is used for counseling as well as traditional doctor stuff, I think it could be justified as God Q's primary. But my gut says it's his second or third.

Really? Unless there's a huge Q2/Bernsen sub-fandom I've never heard of, I don't see any reason this should be an especially competitive event. I certainly won't be contributing to it. I liked Q2 alright and I dig Corbin Bernsen in general (big Psych fan), but to chase him in a full Galaxy Event? Nah. Plus, Week 2 is the Skirmish, and all I gotta do is plop Q as "God" into a seat to get the full max bonus, and I'll have him by then anyway so there's no strong Week 2 payoff for having him, either.
Threshold and out for this dude.
Yeah. He was a total dork on that episode. One item and out
You’re right. I guess I was more thinking the mega in general and people would go all out to try to get the 5s.
We need the alt Q2 in his Indians uniform and I’m all in. We could have cheating Dorn and then Pugilist Dorn.
1 Sorry about the 1 in Vash's "Week 1" blending in with the L in Q's "Legendary". Didn't notice that.
2 Makes me think the previously floated theory of the 4*'s on one side and 5*'s on the other may hold some water. Guess we'll find out!
Q2 refers to the version played by Corbin Bernsen.
