Q wouldn't be terribly helpful in being protected either.
"I don't mind being catapulted." "How soon we've forgotten the chimney debacle last week." "That wasn't Sherlock's fault. I'm wearing the proper shoes this time."
"Have you noticed the only time Sherlock pays attention to you is when he's trying to kill you?" "Yes, but it's fun!"
I do also wonder if people were also inspired by Mallory becoming the new M as it being somewhat canon that a Q name should be given to the Quartermaster.
Yes, that too. And somewhere Dench!M's name is written down as Olivia Mansfield, as well, apparently. But M names are far more conveniently coincidental than Q names. You'd have to hire people on name alone.
"I know you have no experience with computers, Quintin, but I'm afraid we're going to have to put you in charge of Q-branch."
