/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

If Riker had kept some of the Q powers and knew he had them, then he's a prick, he could have solved a lot of their problems with even a 10th of Q's power, but even then, his power would be dramatically lower that Q's, so Q could still create a chair that Riker can't get a leg over.
See I was thinking he retained an infinite level of power, but only within the incredibly small domain of being able to finagle over any chair, physics be damned.
Q could still create a chair that he couldn't put a leg over, even if physics be damned, because Rikers powers are solely leg over chair, Q has an infinite amount of things he can do with his powers, he could recreate the universe to grow the chair the microsecond his leg starts to reach the top so he couldn't do it, he could stop him at the quantum level, there's absolutely no way Riker could one up Q, even when Riker had full power, Q still had control.
