/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

They also don't explain how the Q are omnipotent, just that they can play with reality. Ex: change the coefficient of gravity IIRC the meteor scene.
Beings that live somewhat out of time or whatever that other dimension thing Kirk got stuck in (been a long time since I watched that movie), I guess you could make the case that there may be some tangential mojo between both of those mechanisms that could be dangerous to a Q.
But that's a lot of wand waving. It was never explained because each of their powers is supposed to stay mysterious.
The Nexus from Generations is seperate from the Q, just a recurrent timeless dimension that travels along a spacial ribbon which some of Guinan's people happened to interact with.
As for the Q Continuum, according to Q (de Lancie) "The Q didn't come into existence. The Q have always existed." VOY s3e11 "The Q and the Grey"
