This show is absolutelybonkers.
Thats why weve come back for a fourth season.
I have three notes about that musical number, by the way three notes that align perfectly withScorpion.
I was uncomfortable, Katharine McPhee was underused, and I ended it feeling slightly refreshed?
If the season opener doesnt involve the entire world falling apart, didScorpioneven return to CBS Monday nights?
And she doesnt love that.
I mean, hunky Shadow Cabe got, like…his own in-depth story arc.
Its time to take care of our boy, Sly.
Happy isnt pleased, but its a true redeeming moment for Collins, who jumps in for Toby.
Before they can have theirTitanicdoor moment, theyre both saved.
Meanwhile, its nice to see after four seasons that Paige is getting something substantial to do.
She pulls Sly and Happy up using a winch from the truck on site.
Granted, thats a tape wedding band, so…thats questionable, but hey.
Happy goes back in for it, but she isnt able to snag it.
And that cave is too full of poisonous gas to go back.
Collins has changed, but has he?
Paige and Walters relationship seems stable, but can Walter handle it?
But he needs a numbers man as well, so Collins rides shotgun.
And if thats not enough, hes being electrocuted.
But its aScorpionpremiere, so this all makes sense.
If youre questioning the logic of this, then you have three seasons to catch up on, friend.
Read that sentence back to yourself.Monday nights are wild, man.
Walter hops up on a trunk to break into song again, but theresno time.
This is a two-part episode, and were not going anywhere because more methane geysers have erupted.
Again, if that seems like too much…go back and check out the past three seasons.
Welcome back, because that was a bona fideScorpionpremiere.
