Scorpion (2014)
So stupid that it's entertaining
I've worked around 20 years in the IT industry and I know it would only take someone one year to figure out all the bullshit that was going on there.
First off; if you have a data server, all the data is not stored on a single hard disk, it's spread out on multiple disks in case one of the fails. So you can't just pull out a disk.
Secondly, only magnets of really high industrial strength would wipe a hard drive.
And lastly, while they hooked up the laptop from the plane with a moving car - and said they had problems with the WiFi signal towards the moving plane - but the WiFi signal to the LAX tower with a moving car of the same speed did not fail? And oh, it's interesting to see that they just happen to have the longest CAT cable in the history of mankind to throw down ...
Some other reviewer called out "Sharknado-stupid". And I think it's quite fitting.
Otherwise, it's a really promising show - kind of Sherlock combined with computer "geniuses", but they need to work on their script. Badly.
The Lottery (2014)
Unbelievable
If there would be a global fertility crisis, they would have a international lab with all the countries working together.
I'd also like to point out that this is my first review ever. But after seeing a few episodes of this ... yikes.
Also, if there was only 6 people that has children since the crisis, they should have been paid by the government to stay at home and take care of their kids. Who in their right minds demands that they have to have jobs, when they have to take care of the 6 last young people? Same goes for the 100, they should be provided for as well.
The writers are solely thinking out of an Americanized perspective; every man for himself.
This is a big spoiler : When Mary hands Perez the pills, the venue was clearly a bedroom or a living room where they would have been cameras.
The only reason I give this show a 3 is because I'm fascinated how they can screw up such a good premise for a series. So I'm watching on hoping they will make it fit somehow, but I'm highly doubtful.
