As much as I'd like to see the connection and line on a map I would have to agree. An extension to Eighth Ave would likely require storage and staging tail tracks almost to Broadway BUT effectively even if you went all the way to Broadway with a station, the fact of the 1 train station on the high tressle would probably be an out of system transfer anyway and one has to ask how many transfers would occur here to get to the East Side from Upper Manhattan (or the NW Bronx) that couldnt just take ABCD to 125th.
Though the one thing that could change this equation would be a MNRR/Amtrak station at 125th. In this situation I can see a Q extension running al the way to the river as hugely beneficial. The western terminal station would be signed 1Q MNRR Amtrak.
