Agent Torres in Collective Memory is really obnoxious about technology
Season 19, Episode 9 "Collective Memory" already felt awkward because of the show's attempts to be current by incorporating holograms and cryptocurrency into the case the team investigates. However, the behavior of Special Agent Nick Torres (https://www.looper.com/761109/the-most-heartbreaking-torres-moment-from-ncis/) (Wilder Valderrama) really made this installment much worse. Torres is really rude and belittling about the technology around him and mostly comes off as a jerk.
In comments about the episode in the "NCIS" subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/NCIS/comments/raf3n5/ncis_19_x_9_collective_memory_episode_discussion/), user u/richieadler writes (https://www.reddit.com/r/NCIS/comments/raf3n5/comment/hnm6uvl/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) that Torres' "schtick of mocking nerds, geeks and everyone who can rub two more neurons than he does is getting very tiresome." u/Nighthawk1776 replied "It was like 10x worse this episode. EVERYTHING was apparently stupid the moment it came up. Laser tag: stupid. Holograms: stupid. Home movies: stupid."
You can argue that Torres uses his flashy confidence and judgment of everything as a defense mechanism but it's still irritating to watch. At least he's able to notice something is wrong with Agent Knight this episode and is able to reach out to her. Still, his egotistical episode really brings the episode down.
