      Picard can get his good buddy Q to turn off entropy. Picard wins.

        Q would absolutely do it, too, because turning off entropy might be fun and destructive.

        Depends how Picard ended up in that situation. Are we talking the “natural ageing and eventual death” kind of entropy or are we talking “somehow invulnerable except at the quantum level in an infinite void of nothing, awaiting quantum decay”?

        In the former, Q would only save Picard temporarily to make a point or for one last adventure. Q won’t help indefinitely and entropy wins.

        In the latter, Q’s probably the reason Picard is in that situation in the first place. There’d be some jape or point (“now you know what it’s like to be bored as a Q” or somesuch whiny nonsense), but Picard would eventually be back in his regular time stream, at which point we’re back to the first scenario.

        but entropy would just

        continue

        driving all closed systems towards chaos and the heat death of the universe

        im pretty sure Captain Picard is still inside the universe pacifism or no

            just gonna light my geek cred on fire here

            I have not seen the original movies. Nor TOS or DS9. I’ve seen maybe halfish of TNG, and am currently trying to watch it all through.

              The TOS movies were my fave. But TNG had the best TV series in my opinion.

              I watched DS9 last because they went pretty deep into space magic and I wasn’t into it.

      Depends on if we’re talking new or old testament picard. TNG picard would intentionally lose to it because it’s actually Q. [Pic]ard would defeat it with special effects.
