Disconnected nacelles and programmable matter were complete turn offs for me.
Comment on Worst examples of Treknobabble

I think Discovery had the worst. It isn’t the technobabbke it self that was the problem, it was how it was delivered.
Everyone seemed to be needed to be the most intelligent person in the room. So one person would start with some sudden realisation and solution, and then another would interrupt them and pick up the idea and then either back to the first person, or yet another person would interrupt. Between then all they’d build a tower of technobabble and deus ex machina, and self congratulatory nonsense. It was just so silly.

Is this example actually real or is it made up?

The text is not really, but the situation is.

OK but OP asked for examples and your post makes it look like you’re just making up nonexistent situations in order to complain about a TV show.

I think you commented to the wrong person.

I mean, as an engineer, I can tell you that sort of group solving DOES happen in meetings sometimes, but it’s the speed they do it at in the show that’s unrealistic. At the same time, slowing it down would make for bad television so idk
