    They also don’t explain how the Q are omnipotent, just that they can play with reality. Ex: change the coefficient of gravity IIRC the meteor scene.

    Beings that live somewhat out of time or whatever that other dimension thing Kirk got stuck in (been a long time since I watched that movie), I guess you could make the case that there may be some tangential mojo between both of those mechanisms that could be dangerous to a Q.

    But that’s a lot of wand waving. It was never explained because each of their powers is supposed to stay mysterious.

      The Nexus from Generations is seperate from the Q, just a recurrent timeless dimension that travels along a spacial ribbon which some of Guinan’s people happened to interact with.

      As for the Q Continuum, according to Q (de Lancie) “The Q didn’t come into existence. The Q have always existed.” VOY s3e11 “The Q and the Grey”
