Q makes a lot more sense if you consider the whole thing to be a charade. He doesn’t have any intention of killing Picard or any of his crew, or even stopping them on their mission. He does want to put on a show for the rest of the Q continuum to demonstrate the humanity won’t revert to their worst impulses under stress.
Likely, what he ultimately wants is a solution against the Borg. They’re a tricky one for the Q to deal with in more direct ways. Something like how Gandolf can’t directly attack Sauron at full power, because when gods fight, the world tend to break apart.
That’d be such a great theory if the Borg weren’t completely screwed over as an interesting psudo-race with the end of Voyager and … which ever movie it was. Frigging Borg Queen for a hive mind?? A nexus or what ever they called it to teleport out? Asinine writing.

Q is omnipotent. If he wanted them gone he could snap his fingers and they’re gone.
Instead he summons a mariachi band and randomly fucks with Picard.
Think Q get in trouble when they do that with each other
