NextGen was hard fro me to watch in college for those reasons. The show felt like an extension of a politically correct campus on Halloween.
My favorite moment in the show was when Dr. Crusher (Gates McFadden) was launching into one of her PC rants on Q (John Delancey) and, in mid rant, he turns her into a barking, yapping, howling Irish Setter. I roared with laughter. Q snaps his fingers and she’s still ranting and wagging her finger at him. It was the best Trek moment and no one ever brings it up.
The odd thing about Q is that he’s basically Star Trek’s version of The Great Gazoo. Once you have that parallel stuck in your head, it’s hard not to remember it when watching Q deal with Picard and his crew.
I remember that. Yes, I thought that was funny at the time.

I generally liked the "Q" character. He often pointed out the pomposity of the latest Liberal theme being pushed at the time. Yes, "The Great Gazoo" is a pretty good analogy.
