John de Lancie’s way of delivering lines is so theatrical that it’s hard to believe he ever plays / played some regular dude. The guy is born to strut on a stage. If he’s not doing theatre, the only kinds of roles that seem to make sense with that voice and that style are gods.
Even in that MacGyver episode MacGyver sounds calm and laid back, but de Lancie’s character seems like he’s about to give a speech.
Of course he can build that warp core, but what do you want him to do with the ductape?
Q: “I like this guy, I’m going to make him fight Egyptian gods.”
Normal universe:
Mirror universe:
Who would win?
Depends. Seducing women? MacGyver. Building a warp core? Strangely enough also MacGyver.
Geordi would reroute the phase inducers and reverse the polarity of the articulation frame.
MacGyver would rip up the carpet, unscrew a bulkhead, rip out an EPS conduit and duct tape them together
Scotty, of course.
I can see it
They’re both fighting over the same pile of scrap to build whatever they’re building to defeat the big bad, when they both reach for the same spare pattern buffer. It activates, releasing Scotty. He tsk’s their work, pulls up his sleeves and announces “Looks like two youngins in need of a miracle!”

My favorite Q episode was the one where he caused two passenger jets to collide over Albuquerque, NM.
That was a fun one. I always liked the one where he put everyone in a labyrinth and took away their magic and wings.
Or an Ancient Wormhole
That’s what she said
MacUseless
Damn Q was fine once upon a time.
He needs belt buckles, shoelace, and a piece of gum to make a nuclear reactor. So a warp core isn’t too much more
I would pay to see Jack vs Q
Jack blew him out an air lock
S6E11 “Prometheus”
EDIT:
Him being the name of the dog
Q sends SG1 to meet the Borg
Sam: “Their shields remodulate to block our energy weapons!”
Jack, reaching for the C4: “Not my problem…”
Borg cube: (explodes)
Sam: “Their shields remodulate to block our energy weapons!”
Jack unloads an entire mag from his P90: “I’m sorry Major, did you say something?”
“This is a weapon of WAR.”
They can’t adapt if you just nuke them every time.
(Jealous Scotty noises)
In an alternate universe, RDA was Q with the starfleet insignia replaced by the victorinox logo.
