After making this, I realized "What About Barclay?" would be a better candidate, but Q works for this scene.

/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.

Apparently, since 1962. Now we just need a better mark to denote sarcasm than /s.
I'm working on a punctuation mark that looks like pelvic thrusting but it's hard to get it on print
It gets that way when you handle it like that.
Considering the question mark is at least as old as the fifth century, I'd call 1962 new.

What's wrong with "⸮"?
Normalize using the interrobang online.
What About Reg
Q should've been the ship's chef in Enterprise, and the last episode should not have been a holodeck experience.
I genuinely would’ve found this hilarious and should’ve been done. Hell, I didn’t know I needed this imagery till now.
It's what I was expecting from the finale episode when I watched it. Instead, I was left disappointed.
The chef being off-screen yet somehow involved in a few storylines, it only makes sense that it was Q or a time traveller.
should not have been
All that is needed to say.
For a while, I thought that last episode was intended to make the entire series nothing but a holonovel. Making it so none of it counted because it was in-universe fictional was a goddamn brilliant way to redeem that entire dogshit show.
Then other stuff started referencing it like it was canon and it went back to being an unforgivable disgrace.
Okay but there's like fifteen other Jeffrey Combses I can appreciate.
Fair enough. ENT as a series is on the weaker end of the spectrum, but not without its strengths. For example, s1e13 "Dear Doctor" focuses on Dr. Phlox and one of the best moral/ethical dilemmas in all of Trek. No "pew pew" flashy distractions, but rather a lot of discussion on the choice to help others at the cost of cultural contamination.
"The trial never ends!"
That is not the correct use of an interrobang.

Patrick Stewart may not be as animated as Richard Dreyfuss, but it still works.
The interrobang, also known as the interabang ‽, is an unconventional punctuation mark intended to combine the functions of the question mark and the exclamation mark.
