scoripon show on CBS

Yeah, the commercials looked pretty bad. They showed them during football these last few weekends and I still don't really know what the show is about. "Is that Katherine McPhee?" is my only takeaway from the commercials.
 
I just Loved Scorpion!! The actors were amazing!!
The story line was the best I have seen in years.
Over all a very well written show!!
 
I tried it and couldn't even make it all the way through the first episode. It was pretty dull, but not bad enough to make me grab the remote until the co-pilot climbed down onto the landing gear to plug the airliner into the Ferrari. That was so ungodly stupid that I had to switch off immediately. Pretty rare for a TV series to jump the shark in the pilot episode, but they pulled it off.
 
Just pulled up a clip of Scorpion. Robert Patrick needs a mimetic poly-alloy injection, he is looking rough.
 
Yes, the tech stuff was horribly bad...

No one tested the new airline software before pushing it out?

backups are overwritten every 12 hours and they only have 1 copy of the backup? their whole backup scheme was retarded.

the backup HD was then wiped by a speaker magnet in the car door

At 1 point they had a computer screen where you could clearly see the computer rebooting but in the foreground, they were running some kind of software.

apparently either the airline software is very small or they all use very fast cetwork connections because they were going to email the software to the airline.

they then found a plane that had not been updated to the new software yet so they flew the plane really low to try to download it wirelessly from the plane. that didn't work because the plane was going to fast relative to them sitting in the tower. so they got a ferrari and drove high speed down the runway with the plane right overtop of them. they had the co-pilot unhook a really long ethernet cable (i highly doubt they would have a cable that long) from something in the plane, go down through the landing gear and plug it into a laptop which a girl was holding in the ferrari. the plane had to ascend so the laptop flew out of the car still attached to the plane, but not right before it finished downloading the software (i think they said they had 7 seconds to download it). I'm not sure why they had to use a cable instead of wireless like they originally tried. somehow, the software got from that laptop to the tower and they installed it and got it working in like 5 seconds.

Not sure how this plane didn't get the new software wireless like all the others?

I'm sure there was other stuff I am missing.

Wait, are you saying that planes don't have magic CAT5 cables laying around that looks to be 25ft but can extend to 200ft if you keep pulling it, and that nobody leaves a Ferrari 458 parked conveniently with no alarms in it, and then the co-pilot was saying reach for the cable, instead of saying give me the laptop, and then we will make another pass to give the laptop back to you ?

Come on, these are "special people", who have a IQ of 197, so this is all plausible!

The datacenter breakin.

ive never seen a climate/access controlled datacenter look like a storage locker that is only accessed by keypad. typical hollywood, "hey the key pad does not work just shoot and it will magically unlock the doors." but the keypad is a super dense metal alloy so the "geniuses" come up with the idea of if they find a power substation they can generate 500,000 KW brownout and cause the keylock to reset and open the doors.... they find one and the super genius mechanical engineer picks the lock, flips a couple of levers and throws a big switch and boom instant 500,000KW brownout/powersurge :\

Doors to datacenter magically open by rolling up just like a storage locker. the Heros are inside the datacenter now they are faced with another obstacal, hundreds of racks of servers. So the super genius psychology guy finds a family picture of some dudes desk that is the manager of the DC and from that one picture alone is able to totally psycho analyze the manager. From his psycho analysis of the manager he is able to figure out how the manager would lay out the DC and where he would put the backup servers for LAX. So it goes like this the info from the family picture leads to them to a cage that is not locked and then from that figured out the server is on the left side of the isle, then figures out what rack its in and THEN finds the one drive that is part of a SAN and pulls that drive... and behold it is labeled LAX on the drive carrier. they did this in about 4 minutes.

Then they take this drive that has a complete full backup nevermind that it was part of a SAN and put it in a towel and then put it next to a speaker in the fast a furious drive back to the diner where the other genesis are waiting. the speaker magnet fries the drive so no data is recoverable....

😱

the plane shit... lol, ok so the super genius gets a supercar and drives it 200+ down a 2 mile long runway while a commercial aircraft like a boeing 757 "hovers" 8 feet over them while the co-pilot pops a hatch and crawl out onto the nose gear holding on for dear life in 200mph winds he dangles a cat-5 cable down to the car and they plug it into a laptop...

😱😱😱😱😱

It's on CBS... they can't even do football right (Sims and Nantz are their A Team?)

CBS is the WORST. If you couldn't tell this show was going to blow by the commercials, your deductive reasoning skills are suspect.
