And what series do you think does it poorly the most often?

    Thanks, that sent me Googling. “KIM: I’ll try extrapolating the verteron exit vector. No, I can’t get it. There’s a strange phase variance in the radiation stream. We’ll have to wait until the probe exits.” Episode 6 (another wormhole?!) http://www.chakoteya.net/Voyager/106.htm

      Thanks, couldn’t remember the exact line

      at least there’s only one word in there that makes it complete nonsense, “extrapolating a vector” sounds vaguely sensible, technobabble for “i’ll have a guess at where it’s headed”
