Re: Strawman
I'm not sure that you're example is a 'straw man' ....
besides Captain Kirk has never been disrespectful to
local inhabitants!!!

Re: Strawman
I'd agree that next generation has suffered from poor
writing. Eg,
​
Picard and Dr. Crusher fall through a hole into a
pillared and vaulted room. Picard gets up, dusts himself
off and says 'We seem to be in some kind of underground
structure.'
​
And Q is just a cut-rate Squire of Gothos!!
​
..what's that tell you about the writing quality?!??
