Scorpion - It Isn't the Fall That Kills You - Advance Preview
Oct 9, 2016
LM Reviews ScorpionScorpion “It Isn’t the Fall that Kills You” was written by the team of Nick Santora and Scott Sullivan and was directed by Sanford Bookstaver, whose other credits include Chicago Fire, Med, and P.D., House, Jericho, Bones, and many others. This is another great action-packed episode – the kind that Scorpion does so well. The case does keep getting more complicated and outrageous as the hour ticks to a close… Elyes Gabel (Walter) and Katharine McPhee (Paige) give particularly good performances. I thought this was a much stronger episode than the two hour season premiere.
The episode plummets us into the action before flashing back six hours. Toby (Eddie Kaye Thomas) and Walter try to follow Sylvester’s (Ari Stidham) lead in relieving their stress, but then, life at the garage seems to keep getting in the way. Look for AAA and HHH to be important roadblocks.
Richard Elia (Andy Buckley) returns with a job for the team. Naturally, the job gets complicated. It looks like the team will have 26 hours to solve 4 problems, but it ends up being a lot less time and 6 problems! After the dust settles, Elia has some valuable advice for Walter.
Not much happens on the Toby/Happy (Jadyn Wong) front. Meanwhile, I’m finding Paige and Tim (Scott Porter) pretty insufferable.
Lightening is nobody’s friend. Cabe (Robert Patrick) gets to do something he hasn’t done in thirty years. Baked Alaska is the dessert of choice. And look for an awesome Barry White fantasy sequence. The new catch phrase for the show appears to be “bull-poop”…
I don’t want to give away anything that will ruin the suspense of the episode (but if you want to be more spoiled, read the captions to the photos in the gallery). But I will tease some dialogue – no names and in no particular order….
Was there a sport you didn’t play?
That’s a dossier of all my suspects.
That is so romantic.
It’s no use. He’s out.
It’s like Space Uber.
Shut up.
That sucker’s gonna launch.
His subconscious tried to hang on to you.
Looks like I’m going to have to make an uncomfortable call to the Whitehouse.
He’ll fix it. He always does.
I don’t put everything in the case summaries.
It should be called a galaxy because it contains a heavenly body.
You think about that kiss all the time.
True love always makes me cry.
You know how to talk to us. That’s why you’re on this team.
