      I think there was an episode of Voyager to that effect; a Q decides to show up on Voyager of all places wanting to kill himself because immortality, omniscience and omnipotence get boring after awhile, and Actual Q is (for some reason) cast as the responsible adult in this situation.

      Q’s final scene was Picard’s Season 2 only redeeming quality. Then Season 3 retconned that too.
