No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I would argue that that point is weak and of dubious merit.
I would argue you're just picky.
Okay. I don't see how that refutes any of my prior statements. Promoting junk science and then defending junk science as the only way to get people interested in STEM is a flimsy debate tactic.
If you like the show you like the show. I'm not here to poo poo people's taste in programming. But promoting it as culturally important and "it gets kids into STEM!" is disingenuous.
But it is culturally important due to how many people watched it and reference it and it did get kids into STEM, just because it is flawed in other ways do not discount those two facts.
I would argue you're not worth arguing with.
Just watching you reply to every comment in this thread is cringe.
