The pilot was fun. As with all pilots, the aim is to 'sell' the show by showcasing elements of what is in store. In Scorpion, this had the effect of a rushed feel, somewhat like weird reboot of Crank. The plot jerked along, highly unlikely scenarios played out and some technical issues were glossed over or ignored.
In the time given, I feel they did very well - all the core characters were introduced, background was given and possibilities were put on display. I have no doubt that the pace will slow down to a quarter of the pilot's and the plots will be fleshed out more.
I liked what I saw: I wasn't bored, I wasn't bemused and, for the most part so far, I like the characters. Even the kid, and I just don't like kids in TV or movies. Maybe because he doesn't say much, but I digress.
My only fear is that this show will degrade into yet another endless serial, becoming a self perpetuating micro industry that the cast and crew live off until retirement. CSI, NCIS... I'm looking at you.
Oh, and Katharine McPhee is hot. So... there. Yeah.
Give it a shot.
