That was loving awesome. Team Machine is all together. Also, Samaritan doesn't have the whole scenario what with Fusco now on team Machine and everyone together. I see that they are keeping with the tradition of naming devastating episodes after NIN songs. Tomorrows episode is "The Day the World Went Away". 4 more episodes ![]() Hollismason fucked around with this message at 07:11 on May 31, 2016 |

Spent the better part of May catching up with this show. My dad loves it, a friend of mine recommended it. Saw it on Netflix, and now I'm in to it. I'm just waiting for God Mode Fusco.

Tonight's episode, "The Day the World Went Away" is the 100th episode of the show! It's also the beginning of what is presumably a 4 part series finale, so get hype.

I'm changing my vote to 'only the Machine dies/merges with Samaritan'. I can't imagine the writers pulling away Shaw, Root or Fusco after what they went through last episode and I can't imagine this show killing Reese and Finch if there was the possibility it'd get renewed when it was filming.

Did they ever bother to do blanks on this show besides If-Then-Else or what? Cause the lack of cycling last episode was hilarious.

Special Finch guns, obviously. Just like their magic invisible earpieces.

I hope they don't end the series without mentioning how the precinct bowling team is doing now that Reese joined. That seems like the biggest loose thread right now.

CeeJee posted:New York has crazy strict rules for use of pyrotechnics so everything is done digitally in post. I feel like they held shots longer in this episode than I'm used to on this show, even the action shots , so it made it seem more noticeable. I have to go back for the first 3 seasons and check but I definitely started noticing this more last season. I think it's just more noticeable when they do rolling gunfights and the richochets are all post and not from squibs going off tearing scenery apart.

It is losing to it in simulations because it's running it's own thing: Transferring itself to Root through the cochlear implant. ![]() Also I assumed Fusco's introduction to the machine was going to be watching Reese go God Mode on all those guys who were outnumbering them. They kept playing up how outgunned they were. We better get God Mode Fusco by the finale. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 19:50 on May 31, 2016 |

Dont worry you are not alone I notice it as well. They have those guns now that are airsoft and do the correct slide motion. Why they don't use them sometimes I dunno, it seems 50/50. Also, we must get Discouraged God Mode. That was supposed to say fuscoe but I am leaving it. New thread title please.

It is losing to it in simulations because it's running it's own thing: Transferring itself to Root through the cochlear implant. Hahaha, that would be interesting, and while I don't quite see it working out quite that way, I think that the Machine only cares about Samaritan to the extent that Samaritan is a threat to people. Especially now that we know for a fact that they both have the same broad mandate of protecting humanity, and just two very different approaches to doing it. Interestingly, it mirrors almost exactly the split between the relevant and irrelevant numbers; Samaritan identifies and responds aggressively to major threatening trends (like national security) whereas the Machine focuses on individuals, and expects people to solve their own problems once they've been identified. On an unrelated note, I've been watching the series from the start again and I just watched the first season finale and the first two of the second season, where Root is introduced as something other than a name on a screen. And I noticed this time that even before we know she's Root (and crucially before the Machine has had any known contact with her), her box in Machine View is yellow, even after she kidnaps him but before she starts actively threatening him. Which fits with what we learn later about the Machine trying to free itself, but I love that sort of attention to detail.

Okay, I totally did a fist pump when yellow box happened ![]() Fusco is da best.

I had the biggest loving smile when Fusco stepped out of the car with the yellow box. I'm so mad this show is ending.

Zaggitz posted:It's pretty clear to me that Root faked her death to force Finch into action, rip Elias though. But how would that work? Finch didn't know her exact status, and Fusco was looking over her and couldn't have contacted Finch, unless the machine told him and it got cut for time. I hope you're right though, that was a heavy episode...

A More Perfect Union I'm late on this one, but I thought it was hilarious towards the end where Finch literally is watching their number being dragged off by an assassin, and he tells Reese this over the comm, and Reese just goes ![]() ![]() I'm also confused because supposedly they are working with an "open system". What does that mean? Because I thought that would mean that they have access to all the information the Machine has to determine where the threat is coming from and who it is targeting. Apparently not because they spent most of the episode making wild incorrect guesses about who the target is and why. What does the "open system" mean, then? CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Elias was right, what did you think he would do Harold? I note how Harold didn't even really protest at that. On some level, even he had to know that The Voice was a little too competent and too dangerous to let him live.
