That could create an amazing sense of connection to the whole series, and would be an really fun closing to the greatest sci-fi universe of all time.

This is a theory I have heard more than once, and I've always been attracted to it. Not only is it a cool explanation for the Borg (and one that makes sense)...it helps to salvage the terrible first theatrical outing of Star Trek

Maybe it's time to have Q in a movie.....

I *LOVE* Q. But a Q movie has already been done: it was called "All Good Things..." Aside for the budget, I think everything about that episode was on par with movie theatre quality.
OK, seriously though, Q in a movie would rock. John DeLancie is incredible as Q and he works so well with Patrick Stewart. Most of the TNG movies have been about Stewart and Spiner, because they're basically the strongest actors on the regular TNG cast, so the relationship between Picard and Data was heavily developed. With Data dead, that can't be done anymore, but they could still focus on Stewart as Picard and have the same quality of acting and character relationship by bringing Q in for a movie. The Picard/Q episodes were *always* good. In fact, Q is what saved Encounter at Farpoint, because aside for that it was a pretty crappy pilot.
The trick, however, is what the hell do you do with Q in a movie? And that's why I brought up "All Good Things..." Q has put humanity on trial, Q has introduced the Federation to the most terrifying race in the galaxy, finally Q has helped Picard prevent the human race from never even coming into being. For god's sake, what more can he do?!
Any movie storyline with Q would likely pale in comparison to what has already been done in TNG.
