Personally, I would write them to be... bored. And tired. And instead of over-explaining how things function, they simply say something along the lines of 'I'm not particularly interested in explaining the schematics or functionality of my proton ray so allow me to tell you that it's just magic." What about ya'll?

What I tend to fall back onto are contemporary science communicators I quite enjoy. Brian Cox especially. I think sci-fi ultimately needs to celebrate the wonder and terror of science, depending on what tone you go for.
