Great to have the show back for another season!
sarastro74 October 2017
Over its existence so far, "Scorpion" has only managed to become more and more enjoyable for me. Super-smart people with lots of technobabble adventures and strong characters with wildly humorous interactions. This is just a cozy and fun show, always pleasant to relax to. It must be a tremendous amount of fun to write!

The season 4 opener was fully on par with the high standard the show has been maintaining after its uneven first season. A crazy world-threatening plot, and (hilariously!) our team gets almost no resources to work with, so it's business as usual for Team MacGyver! They're in the Arctic, and naturally runs into a luxury hotel for high-level Russian officials - what else?

I think some people dislike the show because they are not quite aware that it's a comedy show - and if you try to take it seriously, well, then you're not really gonna be able to! But I love it. 8 stars out of 10. Great and smart entertainment!

Scorpion are really enjoyable, but..
torj_alfa1 January 2019
First of all, I enjoy and like this show. But it also have some flaw, and as another here said, me too believe some of the writers are making the show dumber than it should be, so "normal" people don't feel themself more stupid than necessary. Perhaps so we should understand it better. But hey, I truly loved this show, specially the first seasons. Then the stuff that happens, most things that could have been doing much better and safer, in other ways. Also the Scorpion team came to my country, before my own government would have arrived there? I don't believe that. I see if they would use actors that talk norwegian as good as other americans (irony, but I am sure some of them are real good in norwegian), or if they actually did film this episode here in Norway, they could use some of our own actors in smaller roles. The last one is not so trustworthy, of many reasons, and the cost. But it would be awesome, if this Scorpion episode actually was filmed just a few miles from my town. I'm just starting on this last season, and I hope they do it better. All the characters are amazing, and if it wasn't for them who have been in this show so far, I'm not sure I would have followed it further. But the script could have been more intelligent than it is, sometimes. As few series I can watch first, I then may buy the whole serie on bluray one day.

Binge watching this show why you should

Despite of bending reality in their solutions to an extreme, the actual interaction between the characters is great. Super good acting and script.

What a start to season 4

I really don't trust Mark Collins, he always need to be kept an eye on.

Saying that, the musical number is hilarious and the way Walter is dealing with his new emotions is endearing.

What happens .......

Jumped the shark?
charleswatts121228 September 2017
This series has been on a downhill slide (science wise) since season two,this episode looked like it was written by people from either Mad magazine or National Lampoon.

First lets look at the methane leak. Late in 2015 the Aliso Canyon gas leak started here in southern California and the nightly news was able to show infra red video of the gas leak- so how could a gas leak not be seen and detected by EVERY orbiting camera, NOAA and other agencies! Apparently the writers must have been living in a cave the last two years to not know this or they just think their viewers are stupid, either way I feel insulted.

As another has stated governments in the area of the leak would not take too kindly to having interlopers in their country without permission.

Now as to the singing it would have made more sense if it were all in the minds of the individuals and not actually sing out loud silliness.

In short the production staff has gone of the rails and are headed for cancellation if this nonsense keeps up!

I smell something Stink...Human Natural Gas

The only things worth watching, were the Musical Scenes that were Laughing Out Loud Funny.

As far as the Earth Ending Methane leaks, Where is the Norwegian Government that would demand direct involvement, instead of letting Foreigners (U.S.) involvements. Translation the Norwegian Government would have an Entire Army of Scientists, Norwegian Military, Construction, Millions of Tons of Materials and Equipment there even before Team Scorpion even entered Norwegian Airspace.

Norwegians take their Sovereignty Seriously having for so long been living so close to the U.S.S.R. and U.S.S.R. Allies.

The Norwegians have lots of experience with dealing with Methane, from their Off Shore Oil Platforms.

Can easily tell that the Scriptwriters never have been to Norway.

What idiot decided to include show tunes in this show?
LilKaylie26 September 2017
Show tunes are not at all something my husband or I would ever watch and that being in the intro of the first episode almost made us turn it off right off the bat. Stick with what the show is all about and ditch the lame stuff. If you're alike us skip a minute or 90 seconds ahead in the show. It goes back to normal.

This show keeps getting dumber
aqueckboerner2 December 2019
Warning: Spoilers
Well I guess it was only a matter of time until they featured an episode allowing Katharine McPhee to show off her singing talents. Unfortunately it doesn't fit with this show and this episode proves it by characters breaking out in song not just once but twice. Even though I know there are some very farfetched things in this show, I have enjoyed the first couple of seasons but now the show is just getting stupid.
