They're ignoring the very real possibility that he's going to be the murderer of whoever is doing this to him.

Reese raised this very possibility right before the commercial break.

Carter is rocking this whole officer thing.

Yeah well, that's what happens when you release Laserbeak's personal info like that.

That seems like the obvious answer which makes me wonder if there's maybe a curveball in the works.

Also I'm digging the hell out of Shaw as a full-time character, you've got to love someone who loves their work as much as she does.

That's pretty cool that the machine has them both at very high probability of killing each other.

Highly doubtful, I'm certain if these people find out about the Machine they wills top at nothing to destroy it. This would pave the way for Root being the machine's protector, maybe eventually convincing them that the machine itself isn't so bad.

There's no way they set that up just to let it lie fallow. Last season the big thing in the background was Decima's virus but that was more or less resolved during the finale. Decima might still be around but the showrunners could place them on the backburner while Anonymous gets to be the looming threat for a while. Root's no longer exactly an antagonist in quite the same way either, so that leaves them with HR and maybe the ISA if they decide to try and go after Shaw and/or Finch.

This is kind of a far-fetched supposition, but what if this new faction has something to do with Harold's past? They are extremely privacy heavy and Harold does have that as a personal focus, not to mention what we know of his history pre-IFT (leaking the internet, "sedition and treason" or some such).

I think he's just a guy. She's already had partners that were scene as corrupt but were actually innocent and vice versa.

We haven't really seen an 'anti Machine' group. Having the machine sponsor anti machine groups and dissent as some sort of counter balance to people who would abuse the machine is a pretty interesting idea. The new group could just be another version of Reese and Finch's team.

CTV-Halifax, and it's on at 7 Eastern, not 6.

Oh that makes sense, I think I get CTV Halifax but it's somewhere away from all the other normal HD channels so I wouldn't have found it scanning.

Random curveball idea for Carter's rookie partner: He's an Elias mook sent in to make sure Carter doesn't get hosed with. We all know Elias' outfit is good at being fake cops(our good buddy ScarCop and whatnot.)

Oh I like that. His and Carter's tenuous alliance is full of potential. Elias can't stay cooped up in a basement forever so I'm half suspecting/half hoping that this season we get some decent forward movement on the whole Elias vs. HR plot.

I thought that was weird at the time. How could they BOTH have an extremely high percentage chance of shooting each other when the machine should be able to tell who will have the upper hand in the situation? If it was just CEO Douchebag vs. Engineer Guy, the readings should have been more like 48 or 49 each. But, I think that reading was actually showing him having an extremely high chance of being both a victim and a perpetrator himself. Not Engineer guy also having an extremely high chance of being a perpetrator. So CEO Douchebag had an extremely high chance of killing Engineer Guy but then didn't stand a chance against Anonymous with Guns.

The machine is simply assigning them a prediction of "imminent violence," it's not making a judgment on whether one is going to be the victim or perpetrator. If someone shoots somebody else, regardless of which one does what, then the chance that both people are involved in a violent crime are 100%.
