So Dominos is the 12th episode of the first season of a show called Scorpion.
The show is about a smartass, who loves rubbing it in...so I definitely can relate.
They basicly recycle the plots of other shows,
but come up with ludicrous pseudo-scientific solutions,
that poke more holes into the plot than life pokes into protoss's fast expands.

I don't mind any of that; show someone sitting in front of a screen solving problems by pretending to be smart on my screen, to dissolve my lifetime not so smartly and I am happy as can be.

So the titles are always ambiguous (haven't had that before in a TV show, now had we?--sarcasm).
This time they literally play with Dominos,
while solving one problem solves a bunch of other once, just like dominos.
The cool thing, even though this episode might be the corniest of all,
it also solves the problem I had with the show:
The main Character:
[image loading]
Walter O'Brien, played by Elyes Gabel.

After the first eleven Episodes, if I met Elyes on the street I'd just punch him in the face,
nothing personal, just acknowledging his professional perfomance portraying an asshole.

Just wanted to say, everythings cool now and I don't have to punch him anymore.

Also, if you enjoy ... MACGUYVER ... this show might be for you! :D

Just a question without wanting spoilers - are you now OK with it because it somehow "justifies" his arsehole behaviour relating to events that have shaped him...or is it something less shallow and shitty?
It's just daft to me that some people will completely excuse characters' behaviour that they don't really like because they sympathise with the past and end up liking characters who they'd hate in real life because they'd (well, hopefully) recognise that a crappy past doesn't excuse acting like an arsehole in response.

No, it is something more shallow, this series is bad and they went the only way they know how to fix things, go batshit tacky. :p
