What do you think are some of the worst examples of Treknobabble in the franchise?

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

    JJ-Trek, hands down. From “red matter” to interstellar transporter beams to Khan’s magic blood.

    The reason it’s so bad is that it’s fucking plot holes galore. By the end of Star Trek (2009), starships are obsolete. By the end of Into Darkness, everyone should be immortal.

    Treknobabble is supposed to serve the plot, but this shit undermines the entire premise instead. It’s ridiculous!

        What blew my mind about that whole intro is they hid the entire ship UNDERWATER AT THE SHORELINE with a severe risk of damage to the local terrain and sea life instead of, you know, being in orbit.
