Just thinking about it.
On the fence about Q tbh. BUT, him leaving and people freaking out…reminds me of Exodus, Moses freeing the Jews from Egypt and them doubting him and God the entire way through the desert no matter what was provided for them (such as once they escape and start claiming being forsaken and not having bread).
Q isn't Moses. But it's an interesting comparison to me, from how I'm viewing things.
I'm waiting for a group here to make a golden calf of sorts.
