Just wanted to get this thread started for those who've seen it and want to discuss the episode. Right now, mostly have to say I really liked it

I was hoping to watch this last night but I had to record it instead. Was it good? Wait...don't tell me. I'll have to try and watch it tonight so I can chime in here.

We liked it also. I'm not sure what to think of Paige and Walter though. Tycho indicated that they dated in RL and broke up. I wonder if that is why they backed off on them getting together on the show. They did not have a lot of scenes together either. It's a shame as I felt they had some chemistry. What do you guys think or am I just being silly here? Gabe did indicate though that Walter may of "lost the girl". I'm not too thrilled about that as I am not a big fan of Tim. JMO here.

What an exciting way to start a new season! A two-hour premiere, no less (too bad we never got that from Castle, but I digress lol). Luckily the relationship aspects picked up where they left off in last season's finale. Most people want Walter and Paige to be together, myself included, but the Tim character is such a nice, trustworthy guy (so far) that it's hard to dislike him. Hopefully Happy will be able to prove to Toby why he should stick by her as she handles her "marriage" situation. The action scenes were high-paced, and the technical aspects used to find solutions to each problem showed the true genius of each character. I especially liked the scene in which Sly and Ralph showed up at the garage in their PJs. Based on its preview, next week's episode should be as good as last night's opener. Looking forward to what lies ahead

I so enjoy this show. It has a similar lightness and fun that Castle had in the early seasons but with more of a focus on the team. I kind of see it as an updated, techie The A-team. As for Walter and Paige, I agree with Cabe that Walter isn't ready for a real relationship. I think Walter and Paige will eventually get together but I'm afraid we'll have to wait another season for it to happen. I'm expecting that Walter will work on himself this season and I'm okay with that. I expected Tim to annoy me but I actually kind of like him. He's a decent, honest, guy who truly likes Paige and gave her every opportunity to back out of their budding relationship gracefully if that was what she wanted. I don't necessarily want Tim and Paige to end up together, but for the moment I'm okay with them dating. It will give Walter incentive to work on his issues. My favorite couple is Toby and Happy. They're both incredibly flawed but they're both trying to make their relationship work and I think they'll get there. I'm curious to find out what the story is behind Happy's marriage. DrvrTrnr I also loved it when Sly and Ralph showed up in their jammies. Scorpion is sweet and fun and I'm glad it's back.

We were finally able to watch it last night. Sounds like this will be a season of relationships. I liked Gabe's Gastly advice. Walter needs to grow. I couldn't believe how clueless Page was to Walters behavior. She is suppose to be the people person on the team.

How did you like the 2nd episode? We thought it was really good but, oh my, we feel really bad for Walter if he remembers what he did while oxygen deprived He will be mortified especially considering Paige is all into her new guy. It'll be painful to watch. Anybody else feel that it is kind of creepy the way Toby keeps trying to figure out who Happy's husband is? She told him that she would deal with it and tell him all. IMO, that should be enough for him. Give her some space. If time drags out, then get pushy, otherwise, back off.

Well that was a twist. Walter the mystery hubby, granted it was for the green card until, he could gain citizenship. Plus, Happy pregnant. It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

Tonight's episode was the first time I didn't like Tim. The scene with Paige, Ralph, and him was awkward. I loved how the team moved heaven and earth to find the lost autistic boy. It showed how far they've come in their emotional maturation. Walter being the husband wasn't as surprising as Happy announcing she is pregnant. Toby will certainly be hovering over Happy and not wanting her out in the field with the team, which should lead to some uncomfortable conversations. It'll be interesting watching how the team handles all this information. Paige's job just got a lot more difficult trying to keep everyone calm.

Very good show. Can't Gabe just pull some strings and have Walter declared a citizen in the interest of National Security and Walter wants to be a citizen??? Just saying??? Happy preggers?? W O W.

We've always watched this show although I seem to be rolling my eyes more and more about the outlandish problems and solutions that this team deals with. After watching this season's premiere, I'm just not into these characters enough to waste any more time on them.

I am really enjoying Scorpion. I find the show to be a lot of fun and I like all of the characters. (Spoilers if you haven't seen the latest episode!) geezer2008, I agree that it seems as though Cabe should be able to get him an updated visa now that they're working for the government. I NEVER expected that Happy would be pregnant,which makes the twist all the more fun (although I expected it the moment she put on the face mask in the lab). I can't wait to see where they're taking this story. I also appreciated how they tried to show autism in a realistic way while highlighting the dangers of kids wandering off, which I'm told is particularly high with autistic children. I believe the writer for this episode has a child who is autistic and I think they did an admirable job of educating the public while still telling an entertaining story. I'm really looking forward to next week's episode.

IMO, That was a very good epi. We really liked the conversations between Walter and Happy,and Paige and Toby. We laughed at Happy's comment about wanting 2 hours of peace and quiet and the sleeping arrangements. I like how Walter is evolving and how all the genius's are learning to become more normal and human. It's fast becoming one of my favorite shows.

Sad to say but viewership is down about 25%. I feel that people liked Walter and Paige caring about each other, flawed as it was.
