| − | |A show involving four geniuses who try to use their gifts to prevent global catastrophes as well as figure out how to live among normal society in their spare time that's loosely based on the life of Walter O'Brien. It promotes the concept of using one's innate skills for good, as well as improving oneself, with one episode in the series also mocking professor values as well as the current university system. The first season also has some negative views on government encroachment due to Walter being reluctant to allow Scorpion to be used by Homeland due to them using stuff against his intention. In addition, some of the main villains have also been Communists and various terrorist groups. On the other hand, it also has at times engaged in some more liberal themes such as environmentalism as well as some denouncement of Capitalism in later seasons. | + | |A show involving four geniuses who try to use their gifts to prevent global catastrophes as well as figure out how to live among normal society in their spare time that's loosely based on the life of Walter O'Brien.
