Producers were initially reluctant to use Q on the show. Fan demand, and Kate Mulgrew herself, who had known John DeLancie prior to their respective Star Trek castings, pressed producers to use him on the show. The producers' reluctance stemmed from difficulties in finding a rational explanation for the Voyager crew's encountering Q. It was also felt they had to find a compelling storyline to involve Q beyond his usual role as largely a pest. Ultimately, Michael Piller's then twenty-three-year-old son came up with the idea of discordance within the Q Continuum. Another challenge was knowing that Q had the power to return Voyager home to its proper space, which would mean ending the show. John DeLancie said he determined that if asked, Q would say, yes he could send Voyager home, but that no he wouldn't.
