Thank you!
In my understanding of the Many Worlds theory, any possible reality does exist in the multiverse. As Q shows, the "Ensign Picard" universe is possible, so it has to exist, I think. And if he can just shunt prime-Picard over to that universe for a few days, why bother making a bespoke pocket universe just for his little experiment?
Oh man, the "for want of a nail" options are huge, aren't they? On one hand, maybe no Locutus; on the other hand, maybe Halloway became Locutus, and things went way worse. Maybe without Picard to toy with, Q never introduced the Enterprise to the Borg, and they're still chilling in the Delta Quadrant.
Yeah, that "Parallels" Riker definitely got in the fandom's collective head. It's a striking image.
