    Good villains make you want to crawl in through the screen and punch them, and boy is Kai Winn a punchable character.

    Ironically, I have never wanted to punch Q, but Sisko punched him and never Winn.

      I always got the impression that everything Q did was simply irritating. Winn made decisions that actively risked people’s lives because she was looking for career advancement. She was actually a threat.

      Also they kind of knew that Q wouldn’t actually allow anyone to get hurt because he probably wasn’t allowed to.

        Q did things that were ultimately to the benefit of the characters. Picard is a better person from Tapestry alone. I wouldn’t even call Q a villain. Antagonist, yes, but not a villain.

          I thought the idea there was that the Borg were already on the way and him doing that gave them a chance to prepare. Then they reinforced that idea with First Contact and Enterprise, because at that point they didn’t know how to write a series without the Borg.
