Hercules Says CBS’ SCORPION Is A Show About Geniuses That Could Destroy Your Brain Cells!! Read the full article on AICN I am – Hercules!! A dopey show about geniuses who fix restaurant wifi connections until the U.S. government puts them to work saving thousands from violent crash-landings, “Scorpion” comes to us from “Breakout Kings” creator Nick Santora. The pilot claims “Scorpion” is based on a true story, but I’ll bet you a dollar that one part – the part where a co-pilot hangs out of a low-flying jetliner to feed Ethernet cable to the fast-moving sports car a few feet below the plane – is something Santora made up.
