Scorpion follows up its enjoyable pilot with a much better episode in which we learn a lot more about our characters, and even see an emotional side of Walter.

The case follows the daughter of the Governor of California, who has been ‘biohacked’ with a deadly virus, and Team Scorpion have been called in to help find the perpetrator and save the child.The case hits quite hard for Walter, and we see some more of his backstory as his sister is introduced. There’s an interesting storyline that runs in the background, and it is good to see more about Walter, as well as adding more depth to the character with him showing some emotions.

Sylvester is superb in this episode, and provides a nice contrast between the seriousness and the humour. Some side-stories involving the other characters are also introduced, though only pursued to a small extent. My only real issue with the episode is that there is a lot of comic relief that takes away from the tension of a scene, and I don’t think it was necessary. If it was placed better, the episode would probably benefit from it.
Overall, however, I enjoyed this episode. It was a much improved episode from the pilot, and hopefully they’ll continue on with episodes like this throughout the season. Watch Scorpion on CBS, Monday September 29th at 9pm.
Nice preview, Bradley. Keep it short and sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteI really liked the back stories of the characters in this episode. Looking forward to ep 3.
Thanks Bradley! Loved the pilot despite the case of the week being a bit over the top. Glad you think this one is better.
ReplyDeleteMe too... I think that data transmission is going to be brought up till the series finale ;-)
ReplyDeleteHa, why not lol. Yep, me too.
ReplyDeleteYep, pilot was good but far too OTT. This is much less so, and it works.
ReplyDeleteGood preview Bradley! Haven't gotten around to see the screener yet, but your preview makes me want to watch it now.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bradley! I glad you like this episode more than the premiere. I was going into the premiere hoping i would make it to the end but i was pleasantly surprised by how much i liked it! I'm now looking forward to the next episode!
ReplyDeletegood to read positive reviews for Scorpion! it is one of my favorite new shows. hope the show lasts for a few years!
ReplyDeleteThis episode was good to very good, but the last 5 minutes were just awesome. That made me very pleased with the show's progress
ReplyDeleteNow that the pilot episode has aired down here, I finally have something worth watching before Doctor Who starts. Looking forward to many entertaining Sunday evenings with team Scorpion.
ReplyDeleteIf I may ask.. how can you see the episode if it's not on air yet?
