It has the fabulous Dylan McDermott in it.

Just wondered if it's worth a look?

    It's being cancelled by the U.S. network so not much point in getting in to it. I think he is a great actor.

    The only worse show this season is probably "State of Affairs", although at times "Scorpion" comes close.

    I enjoyed it but they have aired 17. Episodes, left it on a massive cliff hanger that the entire series had been building to, and have now pulled it from the schedule.

    So rather annoyed to have wasted 17. Hours of my life watching it.

    Until they show the remaining episodes. Don't bother.

    Is it definitely being cancelled? I know most rumours suggest it will be, but not seen 100% confirmation from CBS.

    That's why i don't watch shows until a renewal, otherwise I am wasting my time for it to all end on a cliffhanger.

    It hasn't offcially cancelled but it's without a doubt going to be

    Nothing would be watched/made - I watch new shows, if I like, I keep watching, even if it only last one season.

    As for Stalker, I like...sad it might be cancelled.:(

    I liked it, but that's not saying much as I'm also a big fan of Elisabeth Rohm who stars in it, and I'm pretty sure no-one else likes her, so what do I know? LOL.

    Anyway, I'm sure I heard that Mira Sorvino was joining the cast. Seems strange that she'd agree to join a show that is getting cancelled.

    I tend to do the same but I gave Stalker the benefit of the doubt. Never again.

    Only in a recurring role, not as a series regular.

    I enjoyed it. The stories were better at the beginning though

    It had great potential and the critics I think early on tipped to fly and last as a success so Im disapointed its been axed.

    I'll agree with State of Affairs being terrible but there is something likeable about Scorpion. It is total nonsense but it's bread dead entertainment. I just treat it as a modern version of the A Team with geniuses.

    Stalker started off OK and it has good cast (even though the lovely Tara Summers was woefully underused) but I got bored of it mid-season and fell behind US Pace. Once I heard it had been cancelled I couldn't be bothered to watch it again.

    Bib: Cool phrase:). Don't know its precise meaning.

    Another cool phrase I came across an Oscars review this week was the verb "to humblebrag" - i.e. when a celebrity receiving an award or praise and says in their acceptance speech, "I'm so humbled and privileged and honoured by this award. It's truly amazing... blah, blah, blah"

    ETA: The way State of Affairs ended its premier season you would be hard-pressed to think they wanted a second one.

    Haha!:D That's a shame. Still a cool phrase in need of a meaning:). I guess that's a 'no-no' on Scorpion for me, then!:cool:

    It hasn't been axed yet, there's still hope. Not much though,.

    How have you wasted 17 hours of your life if you enjoyed it?

    I'll be really peed off if they cancel it, I thought it was really good.

    It got better as it went along. Or maybe I just got used to it :)

    Because my enjoyment has now been made mute by the fact there was a massive cliff hanger that may never get a conclusion. It's frustrating and makes me feel 'what was the point'. Stories have a beginning, a middle and an end. I enjoyed watching the episodes but don't enjoy not knowing the outcome of what was basically the series arc.

    When the end is removed the over all enjoyment is lessened.

    For me anyway.

    i watched a few episodes and just couldnt get into it. There were too many holes/clichesa and non explanations in plot that ruined it. 2

    The last episode that aired though was one of the worst I've ever seen of any show, anywhere. I mean it was an episode literally filled with wall to wall stupidity. It removed any lingering good will I had left for the show.
