Just like technobabble from Star Trek it's primarily annoying when it's a time sink. This show and its characters are good enough that we don't need to babble about half understood physics concepts for 2 minutes straight. It's all magical plot nonsense anyways, so just compress it down to a sentence or two max. They actually did a pretty good job with the butt entanglement scene, it was fast, silly, and served its purpose. The earlier pseudoscience scenes dragged a lot longer than they needed to though.

100% disagree. The pseudoscience scenes haven't dragged on, because none of it is pseudoscience. Everything they have talked about has been legit base-level physics one-step above high school level, and I feel they've said exactly as much as they need to to get the point across without doing a doctorate level dive into the subjects, all while setting up the metaphorical comparison to the plot points.

It's been done well.

But I wouldn't call them solid scientific principles,

We are literally building computers right now based on these quantum principles. The race to the first universal quantum computer is coming to a close very soon, and getting them to the consumer level is a hop skip and jump away.

Like what is so wrong about high school kids talking about tech and science at a high school level.
