@ds1 I understand, that a season ist usually filmed about a year in advance to its airing. Filming one episode takes about a week. I am not sure tough, wether or not that includes postproduction. Therefore, I considere it rather unlikely, that they purposely tried to ride the simpathy wave (nope, no extra episode in 4 days). Personally, I don't see why anything should be rescheduled at all. Since the Californian area is prone to earthquakes anyway.
And what help would it be for those Taiwanese people if they did reschedule? That would seem like hushing the whole thing up. I'd considere that rather disrespectful. Like there is no such bad thing like earthquakes.
Personally, I don't see why anything should be rescheduled at all.
That's totally your opinion and all, yet other TV shows did a reschedule in similar circumstances. It is usually out of respect for the victims. Filming an episode perhaps a year ago doesn't change that. That would make it even worse since that would mean they still went with the airing and didn't care. Compared to how this topic is usually handled in TV Scorpion does it in a questionable, disrespectful way.

This episode was offensive on so many levels, it's mindblowing.
Do you think this episode had aired, if the recent earthquake wouldn't have happened in Taiwan but a country that is "more significant" to the USA like UK, France or similar? Or if that earthquake was at least above 7.5 to be considered dangerous like this episode heavily implies ("Korea Town" of all places)? Maybe not enough people died there? What? You find me asking like that morally questionable? That's my point, so do I think regarding this episode. At what point is a reschedule in order and when not?
I am not sure how/when they film the episodes but the plot of this episode was at least badly timed.
Ever since this episode airing, I can hear Faraday rotating in his grave.
