Just an idea that isn't super important but wanted to mention it, in case others notice something more:

I keep thinking about the TV series "The Blacklist" featuring character "Red Reddington." Q has mentioned RED RED several times, and I understand that means Red Cross. But he has also said "More than one meaning."

Red Reddington has a list of the most dangerous criminals in the world that he has compiled over the years… drug traffickers, people smugglers, human traffickers, arms traffickers… He wishes to help the U.S. track down the criminals on his global blacklist. No industry is beyond his reach, including politics, technology, shipping, communications, military contracting, and pharmaceuticals…

Many of Red's statements make me think of The Storm - just two examples:

>"I did not offer you my services to help you round up your run of the mill drug lord. I'm after the big game. The ones that matter."

>"People willingly go online and hand over the most intimate details of their lives to big data. They know your habits, the banks you use, the pills you pop, the men or women you sleep with. Every piece of information is worth something to somebody. And in the hands of the wrong person, that could be deadly."

It's probably only a tangent observation.

But the basic story of the Red Reddington character is similar to:

Q shows up out of nowhere as the behind-the-scenes source who knows everything, and is helping uncover the corrupt power players behind the evil in the world, where nothing in the news is a coincidence.
