What are the words you don't want to hear in a sci-fi show?

"Sir, if we don't tech the tech, the ship will explode!"

"What if we tech at a polarity of tech instead. Won't that tech?"

"I'm on it!"

> Trek writers before getting advice from their technical consultants on what to substitute for "tech"

on that note, I hate needless sci-fying words... "hydro-spanner". Really? In the future you can't just say "hose" anymore?

Yeah, one of the main reasons why I stopped watching any kind of Star Trek. Sick of all the made-up techno talk; it made my goddamn ears bleed...

"Something wonderful has happened. Ani, I'm pregnant..."

(wouldn't want to hear that in sci-fi OR real life)

Especially when the resolution of a whole episode depends on the technobabble. Thats one of the reason why I liked a lot of the "Q" episodes, 'cause technobabble and wanky technical tricks had no effect on him.

1. "How about we give you this entire bottle of the Schnappster, you tell us where the chicks are?"

2. "We don't have to make love. We could talk. We need to talk."

3. "That little whore makes me feel nine feet tall!"

(Ok, I know...none of these lines are terribly "sci-fi" sounding...but could you imagine them in a GOOD sci-fi series...? I think not.)
