Ah well, at least the writer realized that space wasn’t flat.
Also, while early Star Trek ships move in a relatively realistic fashion, around the middle of Next Generation’s run they started banking like aircraft. :/

Artificial gravity is created using generators embedded in gravity plating on the floor. Gravity levels in corridors and crew quarters could be adjusted. (DS9: "Melora"; VOY: "Learning Curve") Shuttlebays were "variable gravity areas." (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

Banking eliminates the need for expensive gravity plating in the walls, to keep you from skidding across the floor during a turn.
