Scorpion Brings the Stupidest, Most Batshit Insane Hacker Scene Ever
Scorpion Brings the Stupidest, Most Batshit Insane Hacker Scene Ever:
So Scorpion debuted last night on CBS, bringing us the thrilling tale of “geniuses” who help DHS by setting up wifi access points in restaurants. Yes, that is a true plot point. It all leads to this scene, whose true meaning I will unfold for you so that you can appreciate the full amazing awfulness.
Surprise! (Not a surprise.)
From ad one for this series I knew it looked terrible. It was: let’s take all of the shitty stereotyping of ‘geeks’, intelligent people, scientists, etc… from Big Bang Theory and double-down on it by making all the characters less able to function in reality (because geniuses can only be “relatable” if we render them non-threatening by making them totally socially inept, otherwise: oh noes, intelligent people, we hate functional intelligent people. Yay keeping up the anti-intellectualism in America, that will never have consequences.) and throw in a network-TV-producer’s level of intelligence about how computers work.
It’s not like I intended to watch it, but I’m glad to be wholly reinforced in that assumption.
Wow… Continuum season 3. Holy shit.
