One of my favorite "new"(-er) shows. Scorpion never ceases to amaze me with new twists and challenges every episode. These characters must be living in the spiritual shadow of a giant "Murphy's Law" book!
I look forward to each episode with breathless anticipation... which is why the networks are ASPHYXIATING me! With the vast stretches of time between seasons (and sometimes episodes) it is difficult to keep up with continuity in most, recent shows (including Scorpion). As the series become more sophisticated and involved, even a show NOT entrenched entirely in a serialized format (like Scorpion) can leave your mind reeling, trying to keep up... But, that is a rant for another place.
It DOES however lead to the absolute necessity of owning every season of our beloved shows as they are released, so you can dip back into that delicious goodness and keep oneself satiated between broadcast showings.
This second season release of “Scorpion,” like the first season, leaves me scratching my head: Why no blu ray? Sure, Scorpion isn't known for its spectacular, effects laden visuals, but out of principle, this is a show about high IQs and high technology... If these characters were in the real world, they would likely scoff at the idea of their show being available in only one format, and in the LAST generation one at that. I know the absence of a blu ray boggled my mind when Season One was released, and here I am again. Paramount? Given the sophistication of the characters, story, and presumably the audience, why not upgrade these releases and use the additional storage space to present extra features to complement the show? I can imagine an entire franchise of a "Mythbusters" theme, trying to keep up with the feats on this show. Or if not special content, with fewer discs, a "green" release of the season, in reduced packaging could offer an impactful statement which I believe the characters and creators of the show would approve (as well as bringing down production costs for the release).
Scorpion, the series, is high-brow, high-octane action, wrapped in high-dramatic (drama/comedy) goodness. How about a high-definition release as well?
