Hi guys, it's been a while since I've lasted posted something, since October 2; and I want to share some of my thoughts this season since I haven't been successful in finding time to continue "Words" or write another story. First off, I'm limited on what I can say because I have only watched 5 whole episodes this season: 3x01, 3x02, 3x06, 3x07 and 3x11. Scorpion switching their air time to 10-11pm Eastern Time Zone is usually when I get ready for bed and that's why I've missed the majority of Season 3; the 9-10pm Eastern Time Zone air time seemed better than I had the option of watching a new or old episode. Enough talk about the time span and other stuff, there are a few things from the current season which I want to address.
First thing is with the past episode: 3x20 Broken Wind. I don't like how they gave Happy a free pass on what she said to Paige. That thought was offensive for calling her a cheerleader even though Paige admitted she was one.
On twitter, I was having a conversation with another Scorpion fan, tvfan00, about the quarrel between the two girls of Scorpion in a sneak peek. He or she believes Paige took offense for not being able to help Happy with the wedding plans before knowing Happy doesn't like being the center of attention. Well Happy, grab a straw because the wedding is completely about you and Toby; and the bride and groom are the CENTER OF ATTENTION in either a small or a big wedding! Back to the conversation. It was in my interpretation that Paige became offensive to the insult from Happy because Paige interpreted as 2.5 to 3 years of working together and being friends mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I am then asked if Paige thought the insult was for the wedding plans or for the cheerleader comment. Well, here is what I think.
To answer your questions, I believe Paige did not take offense for the wedding plans in the future, but taking offense for the cheerleader comment. I remain on my stance about Paige taking offense for what seemed to be a bended friendship instead of a real friendship even though the girls patched up in the end. Paige thought she was on good terms with Happy until Happy indirectly applied Paige was dumb. Happy's comment was an unconscious thought about the company's liaison to the real world in which Paige saw she was under minded by the engineer. Being stuck on the gondola with a great chance of death brought out this thought and should be treated as if Happy said the same quote on the ground. Think about if you thought you and one of your friends were on common grounds which created a good friendship. Then you hear a comment from your friend on you which they never voiced to you. How would you react to this opinion or statement?
This scene as some parallel to the dilemma between Walter and Cabe back in Season 1. Originally, Walter thought his software program was going to be used to deliver aid packages for the US federal government. However, this was a lie since Walt found out by seeing bombs being dropped using his software; this destroys his friendship with Cabe instantly. Throughout the first season of Scorpion, Walter and Cabe rebuild their friendship by working together. Except then Walter and the audience find out more truth about the Iraq bombing: Cabe knew the actual reason for 2 or 3 days before the mission launched. Walter finds out that his mentor knew the truth behind the software program built in 1x21 and becomes irritated. Walt doesn't trust Cabe at all through this episode and part of the season finale since he did not want to see another person manipulated by a person he knew.
Not telling the whole truth will result in a friend or co-worker to lose trust in that person who withheld the truth or who lied to them. Happy withheld a thought from Paige which resulted in Paige beginning to doubt her friendship with her fellow co-worker/friend. This caused a minor bump in their friendship. Cabe manipulated the truth from Walter twice and it almost resulted in Scorpion losing their contract with Homeland plus the cyclone to be destroyed. Co-workers and friends should be honest with each other from the start and change the other's opinion of each other by their actions. There is nothing good coming from a stereotype; plus there is an exponential chance of a stronger friendship if the friendship is built on honesty.
Random thought: Episode 3x20 aired on 3/20.
Up next: A change in Tobias Curtis, and this change is "Not good".
