In a war of attrition, entropy will always be victorious.
There are THREE lights!
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.
JLP is a big adult. He can clean his room by himself.
Does entropy get prep time?
it has existed and will exist for as long as time itself
so
yes by definition
Does entropy have a knife?
it does now
oh god
what have you done
Entropy runs faster with a knife, everyone knows that!
Picard would win by not fighting
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
Does entropy have a knife?
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.
wow thats a heck of a username
Yes.
i like the cut of your jib
Before or after he got captured and briefly assimilated into the Borg?
Depends on how much he loves Data.
i dont get it but im up voting you anyway
Have you seen the movies?
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.
sounds like i need to watch the TOS films and DS9 then
space magic sounds like my jam
