The new Star Treks (TNG, DS9, Voyager) don't do that so much anymore, but I

know what you mean. As a side note, I do know that when there's something

technical/scientific in the script - but the scriptwriter doesn't really

know what it is - they write tech. That is, e.g., someone will say "The

tech isn't teching, and we need to tech the tech before it blows up."



I do like gerplex, however, and will pass it along to a friend who works on

the Voyager set.
