"Definitely not horrible looking."
You can always trust people on this board to miss the point completely.
No one claimed he's 'horrible-looking' (I think this needs a hyphen, or it means he's not very good at 'the activity of looking').
Whether he's good or bad-looking is still not even close to the point (and it'd be subjective anyway).
The point is, he is FLAWED in his appearance, and if we imagine a 'perfect, divine being', I don't think ANYONE's mind would jump instantly to what Q actually looks like.
Logically thinking, Q should look 'PERFECT', maybe even glowing in a divine way. Q looks so 'common and flawed', like a regular human being. Whether you like his looks or not, is irrelevant, the point is that a SUPER OLD AND OMNIPOTENT ENTITY could look like absolutely anything, so it needs a good explanation as to WHY he chooses this particular form instead of just appearing as 'as perfect form as he can muster'.
The actor looks fine, but as an omnipotent, divine entity that chooses a material form to appear in the front of 'inferior entities', choosing THAT particular form is certainly puzzling, and needs an explanation.
My theory is that Q wants to MOCK the 'humans' at every turn, so he does this by appearing as a 'flawed, middle-aged dude' instead of 'the perfection of the human form' that he easily COULD have appeared as.
The lisp is a nice touch as well..
