I always got the impression that everything Q did was simply irritating. Winn made decisions that actively risked people’s lives because she was looking for career advancement. She was actually a threat.
Also they kind of knew that Q wouldn’t actually allow anyone to get hurt because he probably wasn’t allowed to.
Q did things that were ultimately to the benefit of the characters. Picard is a better person from Tapestry alone. I wouldn’t even call Q a villain. Antagonist, yes, but not a villain.
I thought the idea there was that the Borg were already on the way and him doing that gave them a chance to prepare. Then they reinforced that idea with First Contact and Enterprise, because at that point they didn’t know how to write a series without the Borg.
Yeah, but you’re supposed to dislike Winn, she’s the villain. Her acting was perfect for the role.
Good villains make you want to crawl in through the screen and punch them, and boy is Kai Winn a punchable character.
Ironically, I have never wanted to punch Q, but Sisko punched him and never Winn.

Q is charming. Winn has zero charisma.
Well, except for the whole Borg incident.
