I'm aware of the NCIS scenes, what else you guys got?

Anyone who hasn't done a Mun landing shouldn't get to direct space scenes.

For real. Omg you just reminded me of another absolutely stupid scene from the Netflix series, Another Life. That series' writing is so bad some people think it's on purpose.

So the ship needs to perform a gravity assist to avoid a cloud of dark matter or something. During the slingshot maneuver, they get so close to the star that they should've been absolutely vaporized. But you know what, fine. Flying unnaturally close to the star looks cool and the rule of cool applies. But their first attempt at the gravity assist FAILS and now they have to try again.

That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
