@iotaero By "there", Q meant their initial system(s) (like, humans should have stayed in their solar system), because he still believes humans and other humanoids are not ready to discover the whole galaxy. Borg was his way to prove this to them because he believed Picard was arrogant. Apart from that I agree with your comment.
@arda I hadn't considered that and that does make more sense to me, actually. It's less illogical to me, at least. Although I do still think that it's flawed to claim that they're out of their league when he's backing that up by 'throwing them out of their league' and into a situation. To me, that would be like throwing someone who'd learned to swim in mostly still water into a crashing river with an approaching waterfall. It would back up the opinion of the person being out of their league, but be a manifactured situation setup to support that opinion.

Every storyline with Q annoys me so much, because the character infuriates me. It's pisses me off how this potential "higher being" can be so fucking illogical. The fact that he responds to Picard's refusal to let him join the crew, because they don't trust him, by then hurling them 7,000 light years away into danger is so goddamn counterintuitive. He may think he can override their trust requirement by making them beg for his help, but he adds insult to injury by practically mocking the fact that he got 18 people killed. It infuriated me when he said: "Admit it, Picard. You're out of your league. You should have stayed where you belonged." THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE, YOU STUPID FUCK. You brought them there! YOU brought them into that goddamn situation. Every fucking storyline with Q is like this and it's ridiculous! It never fails to make me irrationally angry.
All that aside, I was happy to finally be introduced to the infamous Borg.
