You've got to feel sorry for Walter in this episode. Trying to function after a big night is hard enough for normal people. Let alone with the world falling down around you. Paige being jealous is great.

The not-so-smart building

Strange episode.

Warning: Spoilers
Spoilers: This could have been a good episode. It wasn't. Why? I am pretty sure Richard would have a manual, emergency exit just in case. Sly gets locked in a room during the emergency. However, the door pins are on his side. He could removed them. Also, he is wearing slick sole shoes. When they trip the panels for Sly he uses them. Several problems. He is a big guy. I don't think they would support his weight. Also, he seems to be able to keep his footing, then he starts slipping. D-episode.
An Insult to Viewers with Brains

Warning: Spoilers
Scorpion takes liberties with logic, and scripting convenience, we all know that, but we enjoy the show enough to keep watching. But this episode was so illogical as to send me in search of who was responsible. It was such a complete train wreck (no pun towards the next episode intended) that I thought our viewing days were numbered.
So much of this show was insulting that it would exhaust my word limit to cover them all. The insults that spring to mind: Firemen standing around while people are banging on the "bulletproof" GLASS DOORS suffocating is an insult to firefighters (how about, "stand back, we're going to back this vehicle through the side windows."). Conversely, breaking shatter proof glass with the velocity and lack pin point impact generated from a sling-shot pen is an insult to physics majors. Having a person with a fear of heights climb out of a high rise building onto a retractable solar panel is an insult to everyone who has such fears. And it doesn't take a genius to see that a person of Sylvester's proportions plummeting 10 feet onto a 2 foot by 3 foot solar panel, that bends (rather than breaks) and maintaining his balance as it angles away from the building is impossible ... and an insult to anyone with a brain of even modest proportion. There's also the kid's comic books that were left to burn when they could have been dropped to Walter below. That along with the comic book humidor seemed like deliberate foreshadowing for something that they could not fit in to the episode. Horrible script, horrible direction, even the acting was sub par.
There is incredible competition for our viewing time. Another dog like this and our household will be done with Scorpion.
