I really like this slightly more chill La’an. John de Lancie was not expected. So If Trelane is now implied to be Q jr, is this episode supposed to take place before we see him in Voyagers Q2? He does come off as more of an immature teen in voyager, whereas in this and in TOS he’s quite more childish, especially when he’s challenged in both Trelane episodes.

So um, La’An teaching Spock to dance… 🥵
Also: John de Lancie is the voice of Trelane’s dad?! OMG!

It has been confirmed. That was Q and Trelane. Trelane is Q’s son. Trelane is not Q Jr.

When he started snapping to change things I was like oh, okay, I see what this is. I think Trelane did that too, but it became such a trademark of Q that it was hard to ignore the similarity. And then the voice was just delicious icing on the cake. They didn’t make a big deal of it or make some weird tortured commentary to try and tie it into continuity. They just let it be as a story on its own.

Unofficially in Beta canon: yes.
Alpha canon: maybe? They haven’t so much as confirmed that Trelane is a Q.
