</scorpion> Episode 2.05 Super Fun Guys

I am so unbelievably stoked for this episode like it's all I can think about.

That last sneak peek won me over. Bring on the absurdity!!

Seriously. Every time I think this show cannot do it better - they do. Such as amazing episode. Loved the case - and the science. Loved the campy cosplay. The comedy was top notch, the tension was extreme and we got serious character development from Walter, Happy, Toby, Sylvester and even Ray. Awesome.

I seriously love how Ray is finding his way of fitting into the group. He's like Team Scorppeon's little cheerleader, and I love him. Sooner or later, he'll be Walter and Paige's new ship captain because I feel like Toby's jumped that ship for some reason.

Anyway, I LOVED tonight's episode. Lots of small Waige moments, and I almost swooned when Walter reached over Paige to protect her. ♥

Romantic In Denial

Great episode!! Loved everyone in this - they all did an awesome job. Story line was exciting and have to say that everyone looked super cool in their Super Fun Guy costumes.

Agree that there were lots of feels and Ray is trying so hard to fit in. Love his never say die attitude.

I loved the Super Fun Guy cosplays that the team used. They were fun.

I liked that Toby is trying to give Happy the space he thinks she needs, but I'm still not convinced he's going about it in the right way. Sylvester calling him out on it was good to see too.

Sylvester being able to be there for Megan was great and I loved how Ray was able to help him get to NATO and to Megan. Ray also keeping Sylvester's visit to Megan a secret from Walter is sweet, but I hope it doesn't blow up in their faces later.

Walter sensing something was wrong with Sylvester, actually asking about it and admitting he's working on his EQ was adorable. I love seeing scenes with their friendship.

There was just so much in this episode - bits for each of the 3 romances, plus some Toby/Cabe bromance and Walter/Sly bromance.

I do sort of wonder about Toby actually entering a ring. Although every time I think of it, I envision him boxing in his Giggler outfit and Of course, no way do I buy his claim that he's over Happy. I'm just not quite sure if he's trying to psyche himself out, or his friends.

I guess I'm in the minority, but I didn't love this episode. Not the worst, but definitely not my favorite. The case was interesting enough and there were some funny lines, but some of the relationships felt a little off to me.

I thought the scenes between Sylvester and Megan were sweet, but didn't quite understand why she wanted to keep the procedure a secret from Walter. Last season Sylvester commented that Walter attended every doctors appointment with her. If she's been able to hide her worsening condition from him, is he not even visiting her anymore?

I also didn't understand why Toby felt the need to go "cold turkey" all of a sudden. When he got Happy the dollhouse, I was never under the impression that he was trying to fool himself into thinking he was no longer in love with her, but rather that it was a way of giving her space while still spending time together and fully repairing the friendship. Her asking him to work on it with her seemed to me like a step in the right direction and then he turns her down. I don't blame him for focusing on his own emotional well-being for once (especially if he thinks she's dating Chet) but if he starts avoiding her, isn't he just confirming her greatest fear, that people only let you down? I'm very curious to see her reaction in the coming episodes.

WriterFreak001

I had to.

FoxPhile

OMG! That is terrific! Now I want a Super Fun Guy episode every week! Is it too early for a </scorpion> spin-off?

I was looking forward to Ray as a character and I had no idea how much I'd love him.

I can't picture them OUT of their costumes now, which makes it really hard to write fics.

FoxPhile

I honestly wasn't sure about Ray at first, but now I love him. He's so wacky - and yet he has unexpected depths. It should be lots of fun watching the character develop.

Nicole - you just need to come up with a fic idea that puts them back into their costumes.

WeBuiltThePyramids

His enthusiasm and complete lack of awareness about certain things while being obnoxiously in tune with other things, I just can't get enough of him at this point.
