      In that scene, on mute: he waves his blinky screwdriver. He gets angry. Waves it again, then smiles. He did it! He downloaded from the dog!

      Unmuted: Geordi explains he needs to scan the dog's prions for subspace signatures matching the encryption key found on a Romulan's nose

      Maybe in another scene that beagle needs to be turned into a bomb. Or analyzed to see if it is actually Picard. Or whatever.

      In each case that blinky screwdriver comes out, and in each case no engineering takes place if you mute it.

      In each case, all engineering looks exactly alike. The only difference is the magic spell used.

      Compare it to Harry Potter on mute. No matter what spell Hermione uses, it involves waving a wand.

      Only when unmuted can you tell that Hermione is doing this spell instead of that. Which makes sense: she's using magic, for fuck's sake.

      This is a weird complaint. IRL you can't tell the difference between two different smartphone apps if you can't see the screen

      AFAICT what you're saying is TOS took their futuristic UIs to the maximum degree of abstraction acceptable to viewers

      And TNG failed to go further than that, bc if they had the TV show would've become unwatchable as a TV show

      Sure it would've made sense if the whole ship were controlled directly by neural feedback mechanisms but you can't film that

          It would've made sense if there were no physical "gun" and the phaser was a cloud of nanites that deconstructed shit at will

          Reply to @pookleblinky But then you don't have a TV show at all. You have a story impossible to make sense of without narration
