So, ideally, CBS should have given Scorpion its final season (even if it were curtailed) and here’s a list of what I think Scorpion season 5 should have contained. ( Read more... )

Fic recs in the following fandoms: Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Marvel Cinematic Universe, Scorpion and While You Were Sleeping.

I’ve seen the trailer for Fantastic Beasts 3: Dumbledore’s Something, and I’ve got two thoughts:

Having said that, I doubt that I’ll see it in the cinema – I’m going to miss The Batman and the opportunity to rank it among the other Batman films, even though it features Catwoman and an intriguing cast. But it sounds like its aesthetic is not very me friendly ATM.

But disc 4 of Scorpion season 4:

I liked ‘Wave Goodbye’ less than ‘The Hunker Games’ and ‘Lighthouse of the Risng Sun’, and I liked ‘Nerd, Wind and Fire’ more than the other three.

This is really behind the times, I watched these episodes on DVD ages ago. I should say that the DVD case is plastered with ‘The Final Season’, and I knew nothing much about its content. I’d avoided the fandom after I failed to watch the third season when it aired on TV, and even more so as I worked my way through the DVDs in 2020-21.

Disc 1

I preferred the season opener Extinction’ to the other three episodes on this disc.

( ridiculousness and feels )</cut?

‘Dirty Seeds, Done Cheap’ is good, ‘Don’t Burst My Bubble’ is better, ‘Monkey See’ less so and ‘Broken Wind’ is the weakest of the four episodes on this disc.

This is how far behind I am on writing up my reaction posts (see below), I watched the final episode of season 4 last night, and without getting into any detail, I was gutted, because being the spoilerphobe I am, I’d taken the fact that the fourth season DVD is described as ‘The Final Season’ as meaning that the showmakers knew they weren’t coming back, if not at the start of the season, by at its end, and had written an appropriate send off. Nope. We had what would be an adequate season’s end, if another season was coming next. Grr. The show’s four seasons have been comfort viewing for about a year (a very difficult year - I can’t tell you how glad I’ve been that Sylvester Dodd is a fictional character living through an entirely different 2020-21) and now I’m left mumbling ‘Is there a comic book?’ And I don’t read comics however much I guzzle comics-inspired media. It’s a daft action drama that’s been off air for a few years with no canonical resolution. It’s never nice feeling kicked by American network TV ruthlessness.

(I know this will be a time for fanfiction, once I have processed a little. And ideally found the one disc I have somehow lost over the past few months. )

Scorpion season 3 - Disc 4.

I rated these four episodes about the same.
