So what new shows are you looking forward to this fall?

Any new shows this fall that you're really looking forward to? Mulaney could be fun, as he's one of my favorite standup acts and there's a lot of talent behind the scenes too, with Lorne Michaels and Andy Ackerman (a director from Seinfeld, and a bunch of other decent stuff).

Anything else that you're interested in?

I already saw some shows In which I had interest: Forever, Gotham, and Scorpion.

I'm still looking forward to The Flash (saw the leaked Pilot) and Constantine.

• Gotham
• The Flash
• Constantine
• Forever
• How to get away with murder

Constantine, mostly. I'm less interested in Flash, as I wasn't thrilled with Arrow either. I'm also interested in Agent Carter, but that comes during the mid-season break.

Scorpion was...interesting premise, but I could almost hear the Executive Meddling with the action at the end..

I'd say Kamen Rider Drive, but I think they start showing new Riders and Sentai in the winter, actually.

Scorpion.

Yeah that was a big disappointment :/ I can only hope the it picks up from the pilot.

NCIS New Orleans could be good, the city is certainly picturesque enough.

Enh, it wasn't bad. It won't be Must See TV but if I have nothing better to do I'll catch it/

"Wasn't bad?" Dude the actors involved may be talented, but the script was some how how dumber than Sharknado.

Ep 2 is not starting much better. The kid apparently "hacked" a thermometer.

Seriously, I'm not insisting on full realism but this Show takes Hollywood Hacking way beyond so far :/

Edit: And now we are adding Hollywood Virology.

Oh they are boardcasting it now as we speak in the states? They only show the premier Sunday down under.

The cast and premise has a lot of potential I give it that. But honestly the writing something I would expect from a parody of a Hollywood Hacking and TV Genuis tropes. He even has a down to earth single mother waitress's with a autistic child as a love interest for chrissake!

How do the writers look at themselves in the mirror in the morning?

New eps come Monday evening in the US, so I'm usually watching them Tuesdays...

And it is a bit Troping By Numbers...

Oh relax, Human Calculator, that's Level 2 Biohazard. The fun stuff is Level 3. Still...ever heard of locks, evil Pharma company?

It's a shame considering the true story behind the show is very interesting (if admittedly probably bulldust).

Well who knows it might pick up. One thing I did like is that they haven't resorted to any antagonists for easy drama yet. It's a nice change of pace to see a action drama where only 'bad guys' are mechanical failings and human stupidity.

I think the moment when I knew %Scorpion (Or whatever) was going to be meh was when beating the chess grandmaster in eight moves was considered a sign of genius.

It's not. That's not how chess works. Sure, the kid had to know what he was doing, but if you lose in eight moves, that's because you were careless.

Well, that or the kid is actually a young Charles Xavier.

....you might be in for a dissapointment then.

I think that highlights the biggest problem with the show: The writers can't make the characters look smart. They can only make the other characters look dumb.

I'm pretty easy-going with dramatic license but the premiere have him saving the airport by as waitress's pointed out simply plug-in a computer in and rebooting the system. This doesn't make him look smart it makes whole air control and everybody involved look criminally incompetent.

Damn. Although if they abandoned the terrorist syndicate of the week format and given him some sort of intellectual Chessmaster nemesis that could work. The Moriarty to his homes if you will

Re: }{Scorpion

So, latest episode.

The ending.

*Bursts out laughing*

They used a radio based DAC to totally-realistically-hack the nuclear powerplant, thus saving the day by uploading new data.

That's right.

Any, "Genius," who has a DAC plugged in to a backyard radio tower (And to be fair, that's pretty weird; there's really no explanation given for why our 200 IQ scoring hacker genius (Not Mr, "Despite being the genius protagonist I really just delegate;" a different one) has one in the first place. I mean, the radio tower I get. The DAC? Not so much. Hell, he doesn't really have a need to send data out in the first place, since he's really just listening) can reprogram nuclear power plants whenever they want.

A DAC is pretty much a one way (Which means the data transfer isn't, "Safe," and that a lot of data is lost) modem. Only slower, since instead of Dial-up, you're connecting to the Nuclear power plant through radio.

"Oh god! The terrorists have discovered punch card technology!"

"Zounds! Debug the vacuum tubes, we're going to have to work fast if we want to keep up!"

Since we know the 2015-2016 new series pick ups I'm going to list ones I'm looking forward to again.

Complete list of new Network series.

I'm looking forward to:

• Supergirl on CBS
• Blindspot on NBC

I would have said Lucifer on Fox and Legends of Tomorrow on CW but they are premiering in Winter.

Isn't Blindspot the one with Jaimie Alexander?

Yes it has Jaimie Alexander.
