On a side note, but I fucking hate how bad it is media. It's just so awful. I think I was watching a marvelslop show and the technobabble was so bad in situations that just didn't need it to be. Like, you could have done the tiniest amount of research and you DIDN'T? Not even the slightest, so something could make sense? Is this how science sounds like to "normal" people? Nonsense?? I think a lot of normal shows that aren't scifi/capeshit are guilty of this terrible practice too.

Actually, I do wonder if the combination of age, bad education, social media brainrot and the god-awful proliferation of technobabble on TV shows has something to do with what you mentioned? It's just so painful.

Didn't one of the writers on NCIS confirm that they purposely makeup outrageously stupid technobabble to troll the few members of their audience who are capable of plugging in an ethernet cable?
