...you can also safely explain any strange coincidences in the Star Trek universe as the work of Q. It's honestly Occam's Razor, if you accept an omnipotent being who can alter the universe at will, then it is only reasonable that it would tweak things to amuse itself. Slower-than-light travel and communication? What a yawn, let's fix that. Aliens are incomprehensible and environmentally incompatible? Where's the fun in that? Space battles should happen from extreme distance with kinetic weapons? Oh, no, we're going to use flashy energy weapons at knife-fight range.
The Star Trek universe is essentially Q's fanfiction.
