I seem to remember at least one episode about a rogue drone missile (nuke?) of some type that they had to board / disarm, but yeah that aspect of things was really ignored. Same thing with space infrastructure / communication relays and all that, never hear about it unless its a hook for a specific episode..

Q is pretty bored at this point in his existence, maybe instead of just straight up freezing a guy he actually conjured up two dudes with extinguishers for the luls?

You probably hit it on the head about the limits of people's imagination in the 80s/90s, but also I wonder if it had anything to do with Roddenberry and his opinions of what was / wasn't going to show up in Star Trek? He famously forbid interpersonal conflict between federation people, making it annoying AF for the writers on TNG. Plus drone ships exploring everything might not make for captivating TV

The showmakers used to have a wall of star trek cliches, and they made a game to see which pitches from aspiring writers hit the most cliches at once. Time travel was totally on there

Classic extrovert time wasting, I couldn’t imagine going back to that environment and being productive
