ShadowDog Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Scorpion has been okay so far but not fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NumberSix Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm liking Scorpion so far, but the pilot set way too high a bar for emotional moments and killer popcorn-flick stunts that the next two episodes couldn't possibly have hoped to touch. But it's pulling in double-digit ratings, so chances are I'm gonna lose points on it. I do see a lot of other dead shows walking on my list, though. And when Selfie falls, many of us shall dine on its misery like kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
