I'm watching Fringe at the moment, and the main character (Peter) does this douchey thing^[the man is the epitome of a psycho narcissist. Constantly mansplains to his female colleagues. People die for him and he barely reacts. A woman he briefly dates ends up dead and he does her autopsy quite happily. Explains to others how they should feel about certain situations. Has the expression range of drying paint. The writing for this character is genuinely terrible and I could go on. ] to show how clever he is by saying things in different languages to impress his colleagues about how worldly he is.

Most of the time I just accept that the actor is trying his best to pronounce the script he is given, but this time he said something in a language I did understand, and not only was the pronounciation all wrong^[again, it's fine, the actor was doing his best] but the sentence itself did not make grammatical sense and that's how I knew that the writers did not actually give a shit: as long as he sounds smart, he does not need to be smart. That's how little respect the writers have for their audience.

Anyway I'm 3 seasons deep and have 3 more to go. Terrible show. Cannot stop watching.
