I tend to keep facts in my head.
Proof of Q being a Q. some of it.
En route to Farpoint, Captain Picard and his crew first meet Q The mysterious and powerful being denounces the human race as barbarians and challenges the crew of the Enterprise to disprove his belief. If Picard and his crew are not persuasive in their arguments, they will be sentenced to death.
Picard defends himself and mankind by explaining that, unlike Q, humans have learned not to prosecute and judge things they don't understand. Hearing the words "prosecute" and "judge," Q announces that he knows humans all too well. He leaves the Enterprise in a blinding flash, stating that "preparations" must be made.
After separating the saucer to protect the families on board, Picard stays behind to face Q. Suddenly, the ship begins shaking as it did when Q first appeared. 21st century courtroom. When the bailiff announces the judge, the crew is shocked to find Q sitting on the bench!
Picard convinces Q that the upcoming mission at Farpoint will be the perfect opportunity to prove his point. Q accepts Captain Picard's proposal but gives him only 24 hours and a reminder that failing this test will mean death for the Enterprise crew.
After assisting the reunion of the estranged aliens, the crew learns that it has passed Q's test.
The Enterprise and crew travel to uncharted territory when a test on the ship's propulsion system backfires and blasts the starship more than a billion light years from their own galaxy.
Traveler a meek, humanoid alien (acting as the propulsion expert's assistant), was the true catalyst for this potential catastrophe.
The powerful Q demands the Enterprise and crew abandon their rescue mission and partake in a deadly game which, according to Q, could result in either "the greatest possible future" for the crew ... or death!
The game involves surviving a confrontation with fanged, animal soldiers created by Q. Strangely, the major player in the game turns out to be Commander Riker who is given Q's power and offered full membership in his continuum. After using his new-found power to save Wesley and Lt.Worf from the hostile creatures, Riker meets with the crew to discuss Q's proposal. After the meeting, Q tempts Riker by telling him that if he joins the continuum, the Commander can use his powers to give his friends anything they want.
Picard having faith in his crew's resistance to temptation and their common sense, urges Riker to accept Q's offer. Riker obliges by turning Wesley into a 25-year-old Starfleet officer, restoring Geordi's vision, creating a female Klingon companion for Lt. Worf and offering Data the chance to be human. However, to Q's disbelief and Picard's pleasure, the crew members decline the gifts because of their disreputable origin. Thwarted again by the integrity and ingenuity of humans, Q disappears, thereby returning Riker to his normal condition.
That is just the skimmed stuff.
Lie,cheat,and yell like hell to win.
Not that it matters; the onscreen evidence indicates that the biggest, baddest Trek ship ever conceived would be squashed like a bug by, say, an ISD.
