Walter O'Brien, whose life the show is based on, also reveals just how much of the series is drawn from real-life situations his company, Scorpion Computer Services, has been involved with.

Kadin and Orci also talk about how geekiness has become chic and has re-defined what it is to be a hero on television, and how the US networks are changing the shape of the broadcast season. Scorpion is distributed by CBS Studios International.
