FYI, Scorpion is ridiculous. I hope that Robert Patrick doesn't get backed up from all of the scenery he's chewing.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Scorpion has started out far sillier than Numbers ever got, and I gave up on that one in the third season, I think.

Thrive to spite them
Taxi Brooklyn was a real show? That looked like some kind of really well produced SNL parody or something.

Watched an ep as workout and yes, it is a real show. Well, surreal. Actress has no charisma. The leads have no chemistry. Don't know whether they can act, because nobody could deliver the lines in that script convincingly. You hear about people who could read the telephone book and make you feel strong emotions. The writing in BT is nowhere near as stirring or poetic as a telephone book.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, my mother made me watch Scorpion last night, and I was angry starting with the title. t /Scorpion makes literally no sense!

I caught a tiny bit of it in between recorded shows (Miss Marple, hooray!) and what I saw did not make me want to watch it. I didn't even realize the title was all pseudo-techified like that.

Always Anti-fascist!
Scorpion looks a little like numbers and a little like Dork!Leverage. I have seen the actress from Taxi Brooklyn in other stuff and she was okay, but I don't know if it's the dumb premise or she can't play a detective or both, but, yikes.

So Forever's worth a watch? I was reminded of Capt. Jack, except every time he revivifies, he's naked and in water.
Which, OMG, that would be a thing of beauty forever!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The superlatives in the ads for Forever are a bit much, but I'm enjoying the show.
