I don't look down on all mortals. They have their uses. Nor do I have a problem with Q who want to enjoy what mortal societies can offer.
What I have a problem with is being openly and blatantly a Q and still interacting with mortals as if they were your friends. We aren't on the same level. The power differential cannot help but corrupt. I will admit that as lesser species go humans are rather good at being able to reject omnipotent beings, but how pathetic do you have to be to pine after a species that has repeatedly rejected you? Without doing something about it, such as taking a completely different mortal form and opening interactions with them without revealing who and what you are?
He has better things to do and he still does this. When he was an outcast more than half the time and bored out of his mind the rest of it, I could understand why he'd engage in such an immature pastime. But this is ridiculous.
