Howling:The Person Who Is Really Behind the Miracle

Ok, so we know that the Miracle didn't just spontaneously happen, but someone has to have caused it. And, since Jack is a fixed point in space and time, we know that it must be someone with near-omnipotent powers. Now, there are enough super-powerful aliens in the Whoniverse that it is hard to narrow it down, until you look at the cast for Miracle Day. John de Lancie is playing a character at some point this season. That's right, Q is responsible for the Miracle. In Doctor Who we have seen the void with all the infinite parallel universes, and in Star Trek we had that TNG episode where Worf kept slipping into different quantum universes. With Q's infinite power, is it impossible to believe that he travelled from the Star Trek Universe to the Whoniverse? I for one look forward to seeing Q appear out of nowhere, wearing Jack's WWII outfit, and addressing him as "Mon Capitan." I'm sure that Q was just bored and felt like messing with humanity by making everyone immortal.69.251.176.29 21:43, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

There are more than a few problems with that theory. For one thing, even if Q were capable of travelling from one science fiction franchise to another, the Miracle is pretty sadistic even for Q. After Encounter at Farpoint, Q wasn't really much of a villain, and by his Voyager appearances he was pretty much a good guy. Yes, he introduced the Federation to the Borg, but after their Enterprise appearance it seems more like Q was doing Starfleet a favor. More importantly, however, we know from The Empty Child that Star Trek is a work of fiction within the Doctor Who Universe. It seems like more than a bit of a stretch to say that the two are different parallel universes. Besides, both shows depict parallel universes as having the same species, but with different historical events. Except for arguably the Sontarans/Hierarchy, and the Humans, no species have appeared in both "universes." Miracle Day is trying to appeal to a new audience, and filling it with Star Trek references would alienate many viewers. Plus, I doubt that Starz or the BBC has the right to randomly put Star Trek Characters in their stories.Icecreamdif 22:11, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I like it. You can even explain why Q decided to appear on Torchwood instead of Doctor Who: after his experience being punched by Sisko, Q isn't going anywhere near Rory…

Anyway, for Icecreamdif: The biggest problem with that theory is that the original poster obviously didn't take it seriously, and you did. But if you do want to take it seriously, Q obviously has the power to change things so Starz and the BBC have the rights to use him. :) --173.228.85.35 03:54, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I certainly hope that he didn't take it seriously. I was just pointing out that he clearly didn't fully think it through. Not that I think that you're taking this seriously, but I doubt that being punched by Sisko actually hurt him, he was just surprised that Sisko actually did it. If we are going to pretend that Q is omnipotent enought to travel to another show, it is still way out of character for him to cause the Miracle. I mean, he's a jerk, and has gotten the Enterprise into plenty of trouble, but the worst thing that he ever did was let the Borg kill some of the Enterprise crew in Q Who. Even by the standards of the Continuum, the Miracle is pretty harsh. Besides, the original poster seems to have forgotten that Q has to spend the rest of eternity looking after Q Jr. He didn't really explain that in his theory. If someone from Star Trek did cause the miracle, then it must have been Intendant Kira, as Nana Visitor is also in Miracle Day. Maybe in the mirror universe, the Pah Wraiths left orbs on Bajor, and the Intendant stole one, used one of the alliance's sub-dimensional transporters to travel through the void to the Whoniverse, and used the orb (also known as the blessing) to take her revenge against the Terrans. It makes about as much sense as Q doing it, anyway.Icecreamdif 04:40, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
