John DeLancie at the 2017 Star Trek Convention 

No joke, John de Lancie playing Q is the best casting I have ever seen. I am a major Star Trek fan and Q is my favorite character.

I've always loved how Q was written (and performed by John) to be one of the few that could really put Picard on the spot. The chemistry between Stewart and De Lancie is a joy to watch. Such great actors, both of them.

Q "What must i do to convince you people?" Worf "DIE"

Holy crud! John looks so young in this video like in 40s or 50s. I had to go check his actual age, turns 70 next year. Damn

4:50 He could play Q only thanks to....TIME TRAVEL??? How amazing ist that??!!

Wow they milked this but it's amazing to see and hear. The Q episodes were some of the best, closely followed by the Borg episodes and sure there is a cross over there!

He was in more then 6 episodes of the Next Generation. Encounter at Farpoint (26 September 1987) Hide and Q (21 November 1987) Q Who (6 May 1989) Déjà Q (3 February 1990) Qpid (20 April 1991) True Q (24 October 1992) Tapestry (13 February 1993) All Good Things... (23 May 1994)

John DeLancie is one of my top three favorite actors! I was so looking forward to seeing this!

Great Q&A. I watched "Legend" as it aired, have it recorded on VHS, have the DVDs. I have the "Alien Voices" cassettes. I've met John 7 times and he's always been delightful and charming. Always good to watch him in these shows.

Thank you for posting this!

Can't thank you enough for posting all these videos. Terrific!

@heather ferris thank you again for recording and posting the array of convention videos. it's so very kind of you.

Great guy; great actor. Can't believe he did so few episodes - every one of them a delight to watch.

Great guy, fantastic to work with - Wonderful delivery with everything he does :)

Thanks Heather!

Great to see this with John D'Lancy as Q. He was one of my favorite characters in Next Generation. A truely iconic figure in the series and history of Star Trek.

I was sick in the 80sand had to watch days of our lives with my mom, and he played a mentally handicapped character and I loved him in it. Funny, I was always a Star Trek nerd in school, and two of the characters I connected with because of other things they were in. Burton from reading rainbow was the other. Actor. I had seen Dune, but did not realize Stewart was in it until later.

Heather, thanks for all of the hard work of recording these. I cannot comprehend how someone would be silly enough to leave their phone's sound on during these talks (Ueard during several interviews).

One of my top favorite Trek characters.

Why isn't there a Q movie? it would be amazing to see a movie that spans all star trek generations in all eras.

My favorites caracter on the Trek. I love you Q... very intelligent actor...

John was in Emergency (back in the 70s as a doctor) and them again in a few Emergency ending movies.

Dude in the audience. PUT YOUR PHONE ON SILENT. That out of the way, thanks for the video! ;)

OH MY GOD IT'S MY MAN DISCORD ;O;

DeLancie is a nation treasure

The reason it seems like he was in more than just 6 TNG episodes is because he was in 10 TNG episodes :) Ive seen several interviews where he says he was only in 6. Even if you count the 2-parters as 1, he was in 8 episodes.

Mon Capitain!

OMG that motor mouth sitting near the camera... puh-lease!

I'm wondering who the other two people that haven't heard this story are.

I loved him in Assassin's Creed too.

The thing about "Legend" was that DeLancie and Anderson pulled roles that were VERY different from the things they had popularized previously. DeLancie, who had been Q, played a brilliant but inarticulate nerd and Anderson played a technically disinclined but very charismatic friend. The two characters saved each other's bacon on a weekly basis. But the body language changed to the point where you would not have been able to guess the parts that either had previously played.

So Q was on _My Little Pony_ ? I might have to start watching that show.

I was stationed in S. Korea in 74 to 75. So I know how confusing the international date line can be.

That's clearly Q impersonating a human actor!

Heather Ferris are you going to go on the cruise or check out the Parsippany NJ reunion?

alien voices was awesome!

LOL @ Peter Gunn intro.

Moderator was correct, he was in 8 episodes. :) (And two of those were two hours, so that could be counted as ten....)

Hey, that James Bond opening theme has a connection, of sorts. He was in a tv movie of Get Smart.

Wow ... if I heard “I’m Gene Roddenberry” ,,, I would have died right there and then. ...LOL

Am I totally crazy or from some angles does John DeLancie resemble Tom Hanks??

Love the work of DeLancie, but based on this, i am not sure i like the person himself. Oh well, he is still a terrific actor and i don't exactly need to like him to like his roles and his work. Thank you for uploading, Heather

On his favorite episode, I am surprised he did not say "well which would you enjoy more, a shuttle with Stewart or a bath with Mulgrew" lol

"Theres a crime here!" They used a different person to represent T'pol, like what!?

LOL at #startrekonline reference starting at @34:07

first question: "I mean, like, you know, like, I mean, like, you know...."

Did delancie forget that the trelane q relationship was covered in the non canon novel 'q squared'? Its not canon but he posed for the cover and its a very interesting read. It reveals that in contradiction to the voyager storyline trelane was a child born into the continuum and that the beings at the end of the squire of gothos were his parents. Kinda. The female was his mother and the male was her husband and thought he was trelanes father, but his real father was john delancies Q though an affair he had with the female q.

Darth Alarak is a pretty cool guy.

Fans of his should check out his episode of the nerdist podcast

Love John & Q! Takin a guess but, I bet Peter Capaldi was to be the "Scottish-Q"?! Now, THAT would have been Fantastic, too!!

I don't care what he or anyone says about his episodes. Tapestry is hands down the best Q episode of any appearance he made. All Good things, of course great episode. But Tapestry was just so amazing an episode. It had Q really doing what he does best. Abusing his powers, teaching Jean Luc a lesson, along with the great chemistry those two have playing off each other, comedy (Flowers for Jeen Luke Pickard and waking up in bed next to him.. LOL) and it was just a great story. But even John himself here said that Q is at his best in moments like that so I think he too appreciated the episode. But yeah I can watch Tapestry over and over again and never tire of it. Sadly there are some bad Q episodes (DS9 and Voyager I'm looking at you) but he did make the show that much better and we are all better that his character is a big part of the franchise now. Oh and John... there were 8 (or 10 if you count two as two parters) episodes of TNG you were on.. ;)

Tapestry

2:03 Look at my face, damn you! Look at my pretty, pretty face!

He has done the most badass thing that John De lancie has done?

Thank you for posting this. I am wondering why DeLancie is sitting on the opposite side of the couch from the interviewer. There's more space between them than there is in a bed right before a divorce. Just wondering.

Q and eh

Q !

Is he very old?

oh, here's an idea: TURN OFF YOUR PHONES

Obi Q Kenobi

Just a general tactic when someone is chatting in an audience, which is particularly obnoxious because you're somewhat hostage to them...lean into their conversation and say, in slightly louder volume (enough that others hear) "Oh, I knooooooooow! That's so cool! Tell me more! I'm really stoked about that!" Theoretically should handle any situation.

Remain secular brother much love

Shame so many rude people chattering along and playing with their phones during all this. So FN rude. If they are that bored with JD, they should just leave. Let others listen with out distraction. This is why I won't go to 1 of these things. The fanatics are too self absorbed in themselves and have no consideration for anyone around them. How many times I have seen people stand up at the mic and others give them grief for something they ask/share or how long they are up there, etc. I get that there are sometimes thousands of people at these things, but there is no way dozens of people will get time at the mic, so accept it and let the few that do, get their moment w/out harping on them. Just FN rude.

Why can't they never put a good camera on a good location on these Conventions?

The original QAnon. 😜😜😜😜😜

Get OFF My bridge.

the moderator is obnoxious, like how he talks and he is too loud
