I am certain they will save Walter. They can still leave the finale open-ended, but the show has already been renewed for a second season. Do you know if they finalize salaries before they announce renewal?

I can't imagine that they would. But now is not the time to be demanding.
Sylvester was reluctant to eat food a week after its sell by date.
I'm eating mustard dated 2012. Mustard is the type of food where I won't likely have problems and I haven't. It's like wine.

I enjoyed the episode very much. Walter’s wild ride ended in near disaster. His car was on the cliff all night and he was impaled on a piece of metal. He was fortunate to be alive.
Happy was really bold to drop onto the conference table while the billionaire was holding a meeting, but she was desperate to get the VIN for the car so they could track Walter. Happy has used her skills to save them numerous times and I am beginning to think she is the second most valuable member of the team. Happy is also witty when she wants to be:
Officer: Do you know what this badge means?
Happy: That you got D’s in high school?
I like the nickname for Cabe, “Super Gallo”, and he demonstrated his strength when he held Walter with one hand while they were lifted from the car. His bravado was amusing when he flashed his SCUBA diving card as I.D.
Walter had a beautiful smile at the thought of Paige coming back to work. Paige sneaked a kiss while Walter was knocked out from the sedative.
We do not know if DOD will still use Scorpion after the argument between Cabe and the boss.

I thought Scorpion was working with Homeland.

I checked just to make sure, but I'm remembering Cabe's comments.
At home I feel safe with Wikipedia. Not just because I feel I can rely on it but because it's not a site that causes problems.

"Scorpion" is next!
With the IRC control cable, the length of time it takes to change the channel varies.
I would have seen it, but I didn't even know "Whose Line" would be on. However, I wasn't absolutely sure I saw it.
I have to be really careful from now on to make sure everything will tape, since the TiVo has only one tuner.
And I have to upgrade the other one later this month, but it'll be different equipment so it'll work better.
Oh, and TV Guide said JEERS! Katharine McPhee and Megan Hilty performed songs from their series "Smash" and this wasn't broadcast for some reason.

I thought this was a big hit, but I was reading an article that said it fell off once "Big Bang Theory" moved and it just did well enough to keep from being cancelled.

Weird. As I turned off the TV last night it was being recorded. But the 9:00 episode didn't record and I don't know why. My hope is that it just didn't start the OnePass until the next episode, the way it didn't with "Jeopardy", which I had to tell it to record manually. Same thing with "Odd Couple" and "2 Broke Girls" but it appears next week it will record.

One episode didn't seem familiar. Until Paige quit her job at the restaurant.
I keep taping this show. It must be very popular to air so many times.

Great season premiere.
They know how to scare us. I know, they would never destroy southern California with a nuclear bomb. But wow, one impossible situation after another and one impossible solution after another.
Plus Walter and Paige have feelings for each other.
I don't like that their new boss is prettier than Paige.

Amazing!
Paige's hair looked so good through the entire episode, no matter what.
I did read they're replacing the girl who looks like a model with Peri Gilpin of "Frasier". Good idea, and I liked her.
Which episode had Paige back at the restaurant? And the story of how she ended up working there.
They sure know how to make us nervous. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong in Cuba, and you think they'll never make it out alive. But of course they will.

Wow. Sylvester in prison. Who would have ever believed it? And especially his dissing of a gang and almost getting killed. They sure know how to make things exciting. First Sylvester loses his ability to communicate with the outside. Then they make it as difficult as possible to get in there and help him. And even when they get him what he needs, things just have to keep getting worse.
I was very pleased Cabe stood up to the Homeland director. I keep reading now that these are deputy directors he works with. That makes more sense. I guess Peri Gilpin starts next week.
Meanwhile, Walter seems to have a new friend. I'm not sure I like him. He does make a good pretend lawyer.

I still love this show and watch it when it airs. The secret to my enjoying it is to fast forward through the nerve-wracking parts, see that they are okay, and then rewind to watch it real time. Otherwise, I feel myself becoming anxious.
I did not think Sly would ever work up the nerve to confess his love, and I am happy for him. When Gabe stood up for Sly when he was in prison, he said Sly is only 22 years old. They certainly ask a lot of him and he always comes through for them.
I guess Walter's new friend is supposed to be comic relief, but I thought Toby was low-key comic relief that fit well the show. I wonder if Toby's decision to stop pursuing Happy will last.

If I ever had any doubts Sylvester would not be replaced by Cabe as my number 3 favorite character, his time with Megan settled that issue.
I was hoping Walter's friend was temporary. But they do need someone to keep the place in good shape. Although the episode summary for next week that I read when looking at TV listings suggest they'll need a lot more than what he can do. And it's a 90-minute episode.
Sylvester didn't have to say a thing. He would be too scared to go into a former soviet republic, though he did go to Cuba, which is almost the same thing.
The superhero costumes were funny.
I don't see how Walter and Paige were able to hold on to that truck.

That was amazing. How could they put kids in jeopardy like that?
I was glad Walter wasn't at fault for those software problems. But they sure made it look bad.
There's no way Sylvester could have survived in real life. The writers can do whatever they want even if seems to defy the laws of physics.
I'm glad Paige and Cabe were outside and able to investigate in their way.

Sylvester's weight would have caused him to plummet to his death, but like you said, they can do defy the laws of physics on TV.
Walter does endanger their lives based on the probability of survival. But how would he have felt if Toby had not recovered?
It was very exciting and I thought the children handled it extremely well. I guess they trusted Sylvester.
I thought the man who was with the billionaire might have been part of the problem, but he was not. He was just worried.
When Walter decided to hang out with his friend at the end, I thought "Good for him".

I wasn't even thinking of Sylvester's weight. I don't think any normal-sized person falling like that could have hit that solar panel and survived.
Yeah, saving lives other than Toby's scared me. I majored in computer science in college (and despite that I know about as much about computers as Paige knows about science) and got to take a tour of the room where the mainframe was. I knew about their fire suppression system.
Supergirl's friend was horrified when she jumped off a roof.

Scorpion was awesome and this was my favorite episode of the season. Everyone was outstanding and played an important role, including Paige and her son. Walter and Happy are daredevils...I cannot think of another reason for their heroic actions. I enjoyed their antics tonight.

Wow, what a thrill ride.
This episode was different from most of them. The adventure started late and ended early, so we had a whole other set of plots.
Ralph handled himself really well. And he didn't get emotional, which was amazing. His biggest problem is that he knows all this stuff and just seems like a know-it-all and has trouble being friendly.
And once again, the laws of physics were violated. No one would have survived what Happy did.
I liked how Sylvester laughed at Happy's jokes. You pretty much have to be one of "them" to get those. I'm sure the cast of "Big Bang Theory", except Penny, would have laughed.
One little problem. That train wasn't moving as fast as it appeared to be on Sylvester's screen. there's no way they would have had time to do anything.

Sylvester manages not to get himself in a jam and he can get them out of one. All because he's with Megan. I really hope she can pull through. I get she wants to keep her quality of life but soon she might not have a life period if she doesn't change her mind.
What Walter is doing was also done with Edison Carter many years ago. Edison's brain became M-M-Max Headroom.
Walter is getting reckless trying to make sure he saves Megan. Paige being there doesn't really help much. In fact, sometimes I wonder what Paige's value really is other than looking pretty. Cabe did give her the specific job of making sure Toby and Happy ... I forget.
Toby is an M.D., so why last week did he say he was a Ph.D.? Unless that degree makes him smarter than an M.D.

Area 51
I have heard of Area 51, but I never researched to find the truth behind it. I think some members of Scorpion were thrilled to go there. I do not see how Walter can do enough jobs in a short period of time to buy the equipment he needs.
When the team is supposed to be in stealth mode, they hold continuous conversations at normal volume and, of course, they get caught. Happy, Toby and Paige were pretty clever after they were locked up.
When Walter and Gabe were trapped on the plane with the kidnapped scientist, I do not know exactly what Walter said about weightlessness, but that was a pretty good trick to make the keys float to him so he could unlock the cuffs. My goodness, Gabe and Walter sat in the pilot seats and passed out.
My favorite exchange was Toby: “Are you sure they are not landing?” Sylvester: “I’ve never seen a plane land at that angle.”
“Aliens?”
They might not get paid but Walter took the storage capacity.

US vs. UN vs. UK (11-16-15)
Team Scorpion is blackmailed to break into the United Nations to assist in the assassination of a menacing arms dealer. Also, Sylvester makes a bold move to protect Megan's wishes.

I was very disturbed at the direction the episode was going and was wondering if I would continue to watch the show. However…
After fast-forwarding through most of it and seeing how it ended, I watched the entire episode again with pleasure. I was not interested in seeing our team help someone carry out an assassination plot.
Walter’s plan to capture the villain was complicated and ingenious and the Mi6 agent was up to the challenge. I enjoyed watching him and perhaps he will return one day.
They kept fooling me because I thought all of those “mistakes” like the suitcase not detonating were really mistakes. But I did wonder why it detonated in the stairwell. It is good that the team works so well together because timing was crucial.
Walter continued to be very forceful in his determination to keep Megan alive regardless of her wishes. It did not surprise me that he obtained a court order to make him her legal guardian, but Sylvester’s solution did surprise me. I am so proud of Sylvester.
