I loved this episode. I accept there may be inaccuracies, but Scorpion has never claimed to be a documentary or anything other than light entertainment. Walter tries so hard with Ralph and it's a shame what happened. The angst with Drew is great to see.

King of the Hill... of bad

This has got to be factually the worst episode of a TV show I've ever seen in my life. And that's saying something because pretty much every episode of Scorpion is factually the worst episode of a TV show I've ever seen in my life.
Writers have about as much clue as to how games, darkweb or chatrooms work as I do about why we age and what's the process. It physically hurt my brain to watch this episode, especially when it came to gaming. First and foremost, I dunno what was that kid doing at the start of the episode, but he wasn't playing a damn game, that's for sure. Secondly, nobody and not even their mother posts their game on darkweb to 'have it tested' before 'shipping it to big guys'. The only games that wind up on darkweb are those that are literally illegal everywhere else. Thirdly, I don't care how much of a genius this kid is, he would never be 'the only guy' to have found out the 'secret level'. Gamers are anal. They would literally shove their head into every pixel until they'd found it. Fourthly, that game seemed to be 3D. And was downloaded through DarkWeb. Yeah, good luck with that. So, this kid knows how to 'hack into CIA stuff' and whatever else, but he somehow doesn't know to use a damn proxy or dummy IP or literally any of the dozens of ways to hide himself? Give me a break...
I watch Scorpion mostly for dumb entertainment, but this is just taking it to a whole another level. It wouldn't even take that long to do a damn research, but I guess writers were just to amped up on something to be bothered. The title of this episode ought to be 'Killing Common Sense' instead.
