So, there's a thing that happens pretty often in movies and on TV, whenever there's a character who has technical knowledge and another one who doesn't (but perhaps should?). It goes like this:

SPACE CAPTAIN: Why did we drop out of hyperspace?

ENGINEER: [providing the requested information] The main drive lost Valsalva pressure due to a rhodomagnetic flux in monopole chamber two.

CAPTAIN: In English, please!

ENGINEER: [forced to use only the dumbest possible words] The ship is broken.

Typically this isn't played as "ha ha, the captain is an ass who has no idea how to communicate with an engineer even though his job depends on it"; more like "ha ha, nerds don't know how to talk normal." I'm sure this was funny once, but not so much the next 10,000 times.

Anyway: just once I would like to see the reply to "In English, please!" be that the techie character repeats exactly the same technobabble—in Spanish.

I don't know much about circus but I usually enjoy seeing it, and in the last few years I've been seeing much more of it than before. However, I usually don't know what to say about it; all that my brain retains is "they did a thing and they were good at it." For whatever reason, that's not the case with the two excellent 7 Fingers shows I've seen.
