Goodbye, I guess.

Yeah "almost a template for" is hardly the phrase I'd used to describe the relationship between Trelane and the Q. The concept of Q was so obviously based on the William Campbell character Trelane that Peter David even retroactively defined Trelane as a memeber of the Q in his novel Q-Squared. There's really nothing "almost" about it.
