Are we sure that these areas are just invaded by liquid hydrocarbons? It could be rather different nature of land/terrain more smooth and highly reflective for radar? The area where Huygens landed showed the same features of these areas in the apod image, but there was no trace of liquid. Probably there are not methane lakes, neither of another liquid, but only surfaces of different nature, which better reflect the radio waves of the radar. Huygens didn't give us any evidence of liquid on Titan. All this goes to show the mainstream's level of science fiction. In addition on Titan, I wonder, also make it sense for a serious science, argue that a low-mass planet as Titan, could maintain an so thick atmosphere unchanged for 4 billion years? It seems to me ridiculous to support such poppycock.
