Scorpion	comment	From CBS, the network that brought you The Big Bang Theory, comes another series starring a group of brilliant but maladjusted nerds—but this time, they're action/adventure heroes (more or less). It's Based on a Great Big Lie, specifically the claims of executive producer Walter O'Brien, who supposedly has an IQ of 197 and runs a security firm named Scorpion Computer Services.The fictional Walter O'Brien (Elyes Gabel) ekes out a living fixing small businesses' computer problems in Los Angeles. He lives in a converted garage with three other troubled geniuses: Sylvester Dodd (Ari Stidham), a "human calculator" who relates to numbers more than people despite his extremely high EQ; Dr. Tobias M. "Toby" Curtis (Eddie Kaye Thomas), a "world-class behavioral scientist" whose keen understanding of human behavior has endowed him with a huge gambling addiction; and Happy Quinn (Jadyn Wong), a "mechanical prodigy" who has serious problems with authority and the physical know-how to back it up. These people are all experts in their fields, but when it comes to the minutiae of everyday life, from social skills to paying bills, they're barely functional. However, Walter is able to fully complete Team Scorpion when he manages to meet and, over the course of a very stressful day, befriend waitress Paige Dineen (Katharine McPhee), partially because he recognizes that her "challenged" nine-year-old Ralph (Riley B Smith) is actually a Child Prodigy like he once was.And why is the day so stressful? Because Walter receives a visit from Cabe Gallo (Robert Patrick), a Homeland Security agent who mentored Walter when he was a Teen Genius, and with whom he has a contentious relationship. It seems that due to a faulty software update, the communication system at LAX has shut down, and several passenger planes are endangered; disaster will strike unless someone as brilliant as Walter can fix everything. Walter and his friends — including Paige, who gets roped into helping after they end up back in her diner — go on an epic adventure to save the planes, which they do just in time. Afterwards, Cabe convinces all of them to become a team who will help the government deal with high-tech threats before they can hurt innocent people. Soon, Walter and company are saving the world on a regular basis — and still dealing with their various issues.CBS ended the show on an unresolved Cliffhanger after it ran four seasons, due to its getting beaten by The Good Doctor in the ratings.

Scorpion / int_1062982b	comment	"Flowers for Algernon" Syndrome: Played With in "Forget Me Nots". The team want to use an electronic gadget to improve the memory of a brain-damaged former Secret Service agent so he can remember what happened to the nuclear football he was guarding. Cabe uses it first to prove it's safe. Both men have their physical and mental abilities temporarily enhanced before reverting to normal.

It's treated exactly like Mark's a drug addict ex-boyfriend who keeps pulling recovering addict Walter back in and trying to alienate him from his friends, except the drug is intellectualism.

The villain wanted to destroy her father's casino and start one of her own, Walter wanted to show Cabe that his team could do a private job without supervision, and Toby wanted to prove that Walter could count on him.

A novelty clock Sylvester gets in the start of one episode has a part that later becomes useful in building a homemade thermal scanner to help the team escape from gunmen. When the gang go to rescue a group of hikers, Happy makes one kid dump all the rocks he collected, then decides to let him keep one. The rock becomes useful twice in helping everyone escape a forest fire alive. An action figure made of a rare material that Sylvester gives Ralph at the beginning of the episode is later melted to seal a soldered hole and prevent gas from escaping. A wind-up racecar that Megan got Walter when they were kids in discussed in the beginning of "US vs. UN vs. UK" and is used midway through the episode to carry a lit match to some explosives.

This is such a badge of honor to her that, when she actually does get a tardy after the local Alpha Bitch and her cronies puncture the tires on her bike, she's devastated. As a result of this, Ralph, who has a crush on her, chains all the mean girls' bikes together, while Sly personally intervenes with the principal on her behalf. The tardy is ultimately lifted, on the condition that Sly never set foot in the principal's office again...

Ralph and Drew come in and Walter suggests he and Ralph go start up the engine they recently built, then stops and asks Paige, "unless you want to go right away?" Paige replies, "No, I don't want to go." She's clearly talking about not only leaving the garage for the day but also leaving Los Angeles. Sadly for him, Drew clearly gets it and can also see the way she's looking at Walter as she says it. In "Love Boat," Toby and Happy help Ralph deal with his first crush, and while talking to him about it they are also arguing about whether or not they should get together. Toby wants a Relationship Upgrade, but although Happy likes him back she has never had a best friend like him before and doesn't want to jeopardize that. Toby asks how long "Ralph" should wait. Ralph says he's not sure what they're talking about anymore. The episode title "Cliffhanger." The episode ends with Cabe and Paige leaving the team, and also ends with Walter going off a cliff.

Scorpion / int_45262f16	comment	Big Dam Plot: In "Dam Breakthrough", Scorpion receives a mission on Christmas Eve from the DWP at the Augustine Power Station on Mount Baldy, which may go critical after a 50-foot pine tree uproots and crushes the building's wall. If the transformer gets flooded and shorts, 100,000 people will lose power on Christmas Day. After they re-boot the computer and engineer the roof, they notice a mudslide spilling into the reservoir has put a crack in the nearby dam's wall following torrential rains. Now, they have to stop the dam from breaking and wiping out the town down in the valley by repairing it.

The bad guy turns out to be a professor who lost his daughter to a rare disease, because a successful treatment was cancelled by the company that made it in favour of a more profitable version of the project. The first three victims were children whose parents were the employees working on the project, and the final victim was the parent of the first victim, because he had been the team leader.

Scorpion / int_658f7193	comment	Lack of Empathy: Walter has a low EQnote "Emotional Quotient," the counterpart to IQ, "Intelligence Quotient", often leading him to say hurtful things to people. He has the capability for empathy but with strangers he has trouble sympathizing. A low EQ means you have emotions, you just fail to use or understand them in practical life and often don't recognize them. Walter often states he has no emotions or empathy, which is blatantly untrue. At the beginning of "Shorthanded", Walter gets a casino employee named Ronny fired—not for dishonesty or incompetence, but because his hands are too small to do the job properly. Took a Level in Kindness: Later that episode, Walter and Ronny wind up in the same jail cell. After some unpleasant moments, they actually become friends, and Walter shows Ronny how to accomplish his dream of starting a bakery. This becomes a plot point in "True Colors" as Paige tries to get Walter to act normal because it will help business. His ability to show empathy becomes vital as the team gets sent for psychological evaluation. They pass because the psychologist can see that, even as abrasive as they can be, the team is essentially a family and Walter does genuinely care for them. Also, his goal was to make sure the psychologist believed that the painting was destroyed in the fire.

Scorpion / int_7286e96d	comment	The first few episodes include numerous law enforcement agents and government officials who all carry an Idiot Ball, apparently believing that being intelligent somehow makes you less qualified. Which might explain how so many idiots got high ranking government jobs. There is, in fact, a notable lack of crime-scene investigators, forensic scientists, or medical examiners. When Walter is told that the CIA has gathered their best agents, he automatically describes them exactly like James Bond: charming people in suits who fly around the world on exciting missions. Not only is he right, when he gets shown the CIA entire computer division, it consists of no more than a dozen people, all working in a single room in the basement of the CIA at the same time. However, Scorpion didn't always help in these situations often beginning the issue by disdaining laypeople as well, laypeople and insisting they could do their job better (yes, of course, they could do the technical job better, they couldn't deal with people in that job) usually making it harder in the long run by being antagonistic towards "normals" (things like berating them for inefficient methods only to find out the reason they use that method is technical redundancy to avoid the human error, to prevent a person from doing exactly what they want to do, or a more expedient thing connected to another system they hadn't been briefed on.)

Walter quickly succumbs to hypoxia, forcing the team to throw together a rescue plan that involves forcing the door and flushing him into the upper atmosphere.

In "US vs. UN vs. UK", after Olivia Cromwell attempts to blackmail the team into becoming killers, they decide to help her voluntarily...or so it seems. They just pretend to cooperate with Cromwell so they can capture both her and her target. As Katherine Cooper says, "I know my team. There's no way you're going along with an assassination plot.

Tim states he has never liked Walter because Walter never made him feel welcome to the team and Walter states Paige and Ralph should be spending time with him instead of Tim and Tim will never be a real member of Scorpion. Which is true. In "Sharknerdo", Paige blames Walter for getting them stranded in the middle of the ocean because they ended up changing jobs that day due to him arguing with their point person saying their pay was "A hundred and nine thousand dollars." instead of specifically "one hundred nine thousand." Walter later states Paige is just as much to blame for abandoning him to deal with people on his own despite his low EQ and cutting him out of her life ever since Tim left the team.

In "Father's Day", Toby sends Cabe and his soldiers to the wrong location after misreading a Morse Code signal. Fortunately, Cabe's team realize their mistake, leading to a Big Damn Heroes moment. In "Shorthanded", the team has made half of what they need to pay to get Walter out of jail. Walter orders Toby to lead the team to win his bail with gambling. Toby loses a game of roulette, losing everything, leaving Walter stranded in jail. In "Dominoes", Sylvester forgets to calculate the effect of the change in tides when figuring out how long the team has to rescue a boy who is trapped in a sinkhole. He blames his mistake on still being rattled from having been blown up during their last case ("Revenge"). In "Kill Screen", we learn that Walter has been taking Ralph to "dark web" sites so the boy can see the work of the most brilliant people on the net. Unfortunately, one of those people is the episode's villain. The villain has hacked the CIA mainframe and is selling the stolen secrets; Ralph helps him with what he thinks is a video game design, but is actually a way for a Mexican drug cartel to find a defector and the FBI agents who are guarding him.

The taciturn Happy is all for it, while the Harvard-graduate psychiatrist insists they don't need any help. Sylvester is afraid of a lot of dangers, but he's also rather overweight.

Near the end, Sylvester tells Megan that he wants to leave Scorpion because he no longer feels safe on the team, although he never follows up on this. The two-part first season finale, "Cliffhanger"/"Postcards from the Edge". The team is shattered when Walter learns Cabe's Dark Secret and fires him, while Paige plans to leave when she sees Ralph emulating Walter's suicidal heroism. Then a distraught Walter drives his car off a cliff, which brings everyone together in an all-out effort to rescue him, which reminds them all how much they need each other. The second-season episode "Arrivals And Departures": Megan's disease develops complications and she finally dies. Walter's EQ rock-bottoms from the shock and he is very pissed at Sylvester, who (as Megan's spouse) followed her decision to stop Walter from putting her through any more experimental procedures (thus allowing said complications to occur and finally take her) for the next couple of episodes. The last episode of the last season sees Walter taking a shilling from Paige near the end for one lie he held back for too long and got caught for. If he had come clean like he planned to, things would not have gotten out of control, but that one cock-up manages to once again make Walter's EQ rear its ugly head and unravel the entire team. The series is cancelled with Scorpion now feuding with the group who quit and formed Centipede.

He's also an abrasive, "egotistical jerk", in Happy's words, and an admitted gambling addict. In the pilot Sylvester, the team's numbers and memory genius, gets so sidetracked that he forgets to pay the bills or collect his fees. Later on, Happy and Toby go to couples therapy. The taciturn Happy is all for it, while the Harvard-graduate psychiatrist insists they don't need any help. Sylvester is afraid of a lot of dangers, but he's also rather overweight. Which increases health risks, especially heart disease, the number-one cause of death in the US and worldwide.

Also in that episode is him glaring at a guy dancing with Paige, and possibly deliberately prolonging the mission so he'd have more dance time. We see it again in "Charades", where he insists that (romantic) love doesn't really exist, right after he cuddled up with and read a story to Ralph. Despite being on his way out the door while he's saying this, he stops to affectionately stroke the sleeping Ralph's hair without missing a beat. And then says he likes the sound of Paige's voice.

While it is plausible to knock out ATC communications from one airport, Los Angeles approach control (aka tracon) would simply take over. If LA's Tracon were knocked out as well, LA Center could also take over. This would certainly lead to delays and diversions, but not life threatening situations. Also, at the climax of the pilot, a jumbo jet's wings clip LAX's ATC tower. Something like that would almost certainly cause flight troubles, if not outright crashing the plane, as well as causing serious injuries in the tower.

Scorpion / int_e3bdea5c	comment	Artistic License – Politics: In "Rogue Element", the plot centers around "California's 78th Congressional District". From 2013-2023, California only had 53 districts, at least 25 fewer than the show seems to believe they have (and that's STILL more than any other state). This would also give California a population of at least 60 million, around 20 million more than real life. "Once Bitten, Twice Die" focuses on a border conflict between Latvia, Lithuania, and Belarus and the supposed outbreak of World War III that would result from it due to alliances with the United States, Germany, Poland, Russia, and China. Doubles as Artistic License – History. While Belarus in real-life is an authoritarian regime that has poor relations with any of it's neighbors that aren't Russia, Latvia and Lithuania are both close allies, democracies, and members of both the European Union and NATO. The odds that they would go to war with each other are slim, particularly given that research shows that democracies don't fight other democracies; they would more than likely have resolved any border dispute peacefully, through the EU. They likely wouldn't go to war with Belarus either, knowing the risks of war with Russia if they did (the whole reason they joined NATO was to prevent THAT). Belarus would not likely attack NATO countries knowing they wouldn't stand a chance against NATO, and for all their saber-rattling, it's highly improbable that Russia would let Belarus start a war with NATO. As for China, they've typically had very little interest in the Baltic states, and would have no desire to get directly involved in a war a European war.

Walter later states Paige is just as much to blame for abandoning him to deal with people on his own despite his low EQ and cutting him out of her life ever since Tim left the team.

It makes a couple of blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearances after that (Walter uses it to pick up Megan from jail in "Talismans", but he borrows Paige's car to take her home at the end of the ep; he also uses it to get to Paige's place at the end of "Crossroads"), but every other time they need a vehicle, they're either in Paige's Chevrolet (see Product Placement), or the Team Van. In "Fish Filet", Happy observes that the drug cartel lord has a wheelchair "better than Walter's car." Cabe's bought one in "Sci Hard". It takes some Car Fu just to get the cassette tape that was stuck in its player loose.

And this is after Walter's inability to throw things accurately was demonstrated early in the episode. In "Toby Or Not Toby", the team is frantically cutting through Mark's dental-floss booby trap to reach Toby, who's tied up with a beaker of acid precariously tilted above his head. Realizing they won't reach him in time this way, Happy dives through the remaining strands and snatches the beaker just as it's starting to tip over.

This is done partially because Walter disagrees with Sylvester and with Megan's own opinion on whether she should undergo an extremely painful but potentially life-saving medical procedure and having Sylvester as a spouse allows him to supersede Walter's court order while Megan is incapacitated, and also because she's aware she doesn't have much time left. The actual ceremony is officiated by Ray and happens offscreen; we only learn what they were planning at the end of the episode, which is when Walter finds out.

It turns out this is for Sylvester's benefit, as Walter is very aware that Megan may die of multiple sclerosis and he knows he's not exactly equipped to handle an emotional trauma like that. This becomes a source of friction in Season 2 when Walter and Sylvester disagree on Megan's medical care, to the point where Walter gets a court order and Sylvester marries Megan in order to go over his head. The expected friction between the two of them is cut short when Megan dies; afterwards, Walter comes to view Sylvester as a brother.

He claims the door itself is made of titanium; in realty all aircraft exteriors are made of aluminum, which is lighter and melts much more easily than titanium — they would’ve died in the pipe from the heat or melting metal. In "Tech, Drugs and Rock'n'Roll", Walter sucks off all the oxygen in the server room in order to put out a fire and an empty plastic bottle becomes crushed - which would have only happened if the pressure in the room had increased instead of decreased.
