So, I decided to check out episode 2 on my DVR this morning while going through some email. At the 30 minute mark it suddenly shifts to a promo for Dave, and then the very start of NCIS:LA (starting with the "Previously on"). It continues with the opener for the episode, goes to commercial, and then returns to Scorpion - elapsed time on my DVR of 4 minutes. I was able to go to On Demand and see the missing portion. While it cut out prior to Scorpion breaking for commercial, it seems to have rejoined at the point where Scorpion returned from commercial.
Over the many years of participating in this list I think have learned that things like this happen because someone punched the wrong button in some kind of switching station or something (or maybe it was just a computer glitch) and the start of NCIS:LA was selected instead of the next segment of Scorpion. But I have a couple of questions. One, why would Scorpion have cut out prior to going to its commercial? Does that suggest that someone not only punched the wrong button, but punched it too soon? Two - did this happen nation wide, just in the Pacific Time zone, or maybe just in the San Francisco area? Or could the mistake have been with my cable provider (Comcast)? The mom looked a little different this week but I could not put my finger on it. I am starting to resent the emotional manipulativeness of this show a lot. I could put up with it, and maybe even appreciate it, if the makers put half as much effort into the plots and character developments and paying off on the promise that their characters are super smart as they did into yanking on heart strings - but they seem intent on not.
