#scorpion show

my biggest guilty pleasure show is scorpion, i love it so much, easily top 10 fav shows or me.

idc about scientific inaccuracies, idc about how unrealistic & dumb it is, idc about the fact that every episode is basically the exact same. i love those stupid geniuses so goddamn much. toby is such a comfort character for me and his & happy‘s relationship is one of the few straight couples that make me feel something

scorpion simultaniously manages to give their characters so much heart and personality and quirks and traits and also have them be flat as all hell and never learn their mistakes. its so unique i dont know HOW they do it

(i have only seen up to season3 finale. for these purposes, lets pretend s4 does not exist, though if anything i think itd drive my point home)

I love the team as much as anyone but you HAVE to agree the characters are strangely made. Its not that they fall flat on a personality front- each of them is clearly distinct, not just the members of Scorpion but also the sideliners like the homeland directors, Tim, Ray, Patrick, Ally ect ect. they and ESPECIALLY our main cast is a large draw of the show, a group of whacky misfits with distinguishable traits doing crazy stuff, yet i cant help but feel like they are so two dimensional in some spaces.

Take for example Happy. a favourite for right reasons, shes awsome and badass and a woman whos smart (which is a lot to ask of a 2014s cbs writers room), yet if you take a good long look at her her character comes down to 3 cores: mechanics, her relationship with Toby, and being an orphan. This leaves barely ANY room for nuance, as all we see is her being mean to everyone and, throughout the show, gradually get a little less mean to Toby and really, thats it. and this stuff happens to ALL the characters.

i honestly think Cabe and Sly are best off. Cabe because all hes got is "old" and "gun" but at least he's pleasant to watch, and Sly because of how megan made him less fearful and he stood up to walter a few times, though that eventually kinda washed away. The real worst crime here, are Walter and Paige.

Genuily these people are insufferable to watch. Paige's entire character concept is crazy- a person to 'help geniuses be normal', esentially infantilizing and babysitting a group of grown ass people is a wildly abelist concept, and things like autism was not THAT farfetched of an idea back in 2014. She is weirdly supposed to "bring everyone together" while she barely has a relationship to anyone outside of Walter, and her "you can save everyone!" positivity speech personality clashes with the taking-no-shit mother persona they just cant help but try to give her, making her a crazy hyporcite in 50% of episodes.

and Walter is constandly in the show portrayed as a guy who so strongly believes he has no emotions he cant process them, and while Elyes Gabel is a cutie it does NOT make up for the insane things Walter says and does. And if theyre pretending this man doesnt have Sociopathy because for many people it is synonymous with evil, then im simply forced to look at him from the standpoint where he has nothing more then a high IQ and appearently, a fucking annoying superiority complex he never EVER gets over, and this all without even getting into how this dumpster show ended.

and yet, somehow, these characters are endearing beyond belief. between good actors and delightful found family dynamics, i hate to say that while Scorpion is far from good, i cant help but love those freaks

No clue if this is like, old news or something, but I just started watching a show called Scorpion and so far? I fucking love it.

I'm only 3 episodes in but like. I already am so attached to these characters. It's about a team of people who all have their own niche who get hired by the CIA to take on cases around L.A. that no government agency could figure out.

The kicker? All of the main cast is so clearly neurodivergent coded. Like there is 1 neurotypical lady and SHE is treated like the odd one out, not them.

Granted, not all of it is EXPLICITLY stated. For example, I would say the main character Walter is Autistic, but even when the dude who's whole thing is psychoanalyzing people to hell and back is talking about him, he doesn't mention it. He mentions trouble with authority figures and intellectual megalomania, but not Autism. E

Even if Walter was flat-out stated to be Autsitic, he would be pretty stereotypical. The reason I like it so much despite that, however, is because he is never told he needs to change and is actually very against the idea of changing oneself in order to seem "normal."

It did a lot that impressed me in the first few episodes that I don't have the time to go into right now but FUCK i love it so much. There's like 4 seasons I think on Amazon Prime but honestly I dont care where you watch it or how legal your method of choice is. I really hope this holds up as the seasons go on because I really like it so far and if it falls apart I will have a fucking cow. I will absolutely throw a tantrum if they ruin this for me

Could someone who has seen the entirety of Scorpion give me the run down on Paige and Walter’s relationship??

[anymousse]

Schrodinger once told a story about how he loved his wife. Love made no scientific sense to him, he couldn't explain the bond. But he said when they stared into each other's eyes, their consciousness must have been mathematically identical because that's when love made sense to him. When looking into her eyes.

Walter. Scorpion season 3. Episode: Rock Block
