This has got to be factually the worst episode of a TV show I've ever seen in my life. And that's saying something because pretty much every episode of Scorpion is factually the worst episode of a TV show I've ever seen in my life.

Writers have about as much clue as to how games, darkweb or chatrooms work as I do about why we age and what's the process. It physically hurt my brain to watch this episode, especially when it came to gaming. First and foremost, I dunno what was that kid doing at the start of the episode, but he wasn't playing a damn game, that's for sure. Secondly, nobody and not even their mother posts their game on darkweb to 'have it tested' before 'shipping it to big guys'. The only games that wind up on darkweb are those that are literally illegal everywhere else. Thirdly, I don't care how much of a genius this kid is, he would never be 'the only guy' to have found out the 'secret level'. Gamers are anal. They would literally shove their head into every pixel until they'd found it. Fourthly, that game seemed to be 3D. And was downloaded through DarkWeb. Yeah, good luck with that. So, this kid knows how to 'hack into CIA stuff' and whatever else, but he somehow doesn't know to use a damn proxy or dummy IP or literally any of the dozens of ways to hide himself? Give me a break...

I watch Scorpion mostly for dumb entertainment, but this is just taking it to a whole another level. It wouldn't even take that long to do a damn research, but I guess writers were just to amped up on something to be bothered. The title of this episode ought to be 'Killing Common Sense' instead.

There isn't much to say about 'Keith'. It's a standard story of a boy- meets-girl basket, with a slight twist towards the end. It's charming, sweet and funny at times, while also maintaining a dose of seriousness through its third act.

Imagine if 'The Fault in Our Stars' dropped cheesy, 'meta' humor, created better chemistry between leads and had a believable dialogue devoid of pretentiousness.

Although not a masterpiece by any means, it's a bittersweet story about young loves and growing up past them whilst they redefine you as a person. Definitely worth a watch.

I watched 'The 100' for reasons I long have forgotten, but I remember visiting its IMDb page when 3-4 episodes were out. It had a decent enough of a rating so I figured I'd give it a shot. Nope.

Since I can't possibly fathom thinking about this show any more, I won't write a full-fledged review, but just point out things that make no sense.

1. Upon descending, teenagers try to establish a chain of command, which is quite normal for any settling group/society since that's how civilizations function. The problem here is that certain people are warranted certain "power" without any reason. A group of five, mid-point through the season, is waging a vote against 80+ people, which they lose, but they still get to carry out their judgment. This makes the whole "democracy" aspect bull, and, more to the point, reflects writer's dumb understanding of the teenagers.

2. Instead of sending 100 completely average people, who had already contributed their fair share to the human preservation, "the smart people" of the future send 100 perfectly healthy, young adults to scout out potentially lethal planet with a small ounce of hope that life is sustainable. No.

3. PG-13 rating; you can't have 100 angsty, rebellious teenagers left alone without any adult supervision and expect them to behave under the guidelines of 'PG-13 rating'. Nope.

4. Think of a stereotypical character. You did? This show has it. And they go nowhere.

5. The very idea that a 100 juveniles are capable of creating self- sustaining and self-preserving society is not only insane and impossible, but even the show itself has to come up with massive plot devices to make it work. '80 people don't rebel because 3 of the bad guys have weapons'. '80 rebellious teenagers listen to 5 other rebellious teenagers'. Come on... at least try.

6. Given that the humans were capable of sustaining life IN SPACE, on a SPACE STATION, for a healthy time, it's virtually impossible that they've failed to create a scouting drone of sorts that would be capable of determining whether life on Earth is possible.

7. They used 'Radioactive'.

8. It got beyond season 1.

9. Dialogue, aside from the fact that it's full of PG-13 cuss words, is something any sane human, with even an ounce of critical- thinking, will laugh at the moment the characters start speaking.

10. It's like Lost, except there are no interesting characters or dialogue, intrigue is non-existent, and it's full of teenager troops like 'Instead of thinking how to survive, let's f*** s*** up and try having sex and making out' or 'You can't possibly understand how I feel even though both of us were thrust into the exact same situation under the same circumstances with no prior knowledge of said situation'.

11. Please let's not go beyond season 2. Please.
