  • Voyager was especially notorious for this. TNG had its share of technobabble, but it felt like every character in Voyager apparently had intricate knowledge of advanced engineering concepts that magically solved every problem in almost every episode.

    Chief Engineer B’Elanna: “There’s this new problem no one has ever faced before and we don’t know how to fix it!”

    Commander Chakotay: “Have you tried realigning the dilithium matrix?”

    B’Elanna: “It wouldn’t work because it would cause an interference pattern in the warp attenuation field.”

    Chakotay: “What if we harmonize the polaron emitter to reverse the polarity of the chroniton field so we can convert the matter/antimatter reaction into a photonic gamma burst and triple the power of the warp core?”

    B’Elanna: “That could work!”

    Not real, but this feels like almost every episode in Voyager.
