Chasiubao posted:Reese is thing to ruin everything by pulling Finch back from the edge, isn't he Quoting this before you fix it. Harold going rogue was another perfect series finale ending. Samaritan STILL not ID'ing Reese after Fusco & Reese survived the ambush at the Temporary Resolutions location was odd. Or maybe sending a hit squad against two detectives is an every-kilosecond event for Samaritan.

As long as Reese does things that a detective would do, such as follow up a lead on a murder case to their murder headquarters, Samaritan will not question it. And when that TOTALLY NORMAL DETECTIVE DOING DETECTIVE THINGS shoots all the lackys in the knee, it assumes that he's just a good shot and not that other guy who shoots tons of dudes in the knees. Ultimately, with Finch's detection they are finally pulling back the kind of silly and gone on for too long plot blindness fortunately.

I jus caught the last two episodes last night. Seeing Fusco finally get a yellow box made me very happy... even though it'll probably get him killed. I'm gonna miss the poo poo out of this show when its gone.

You must have missed the bit where Reese pulled out a grenade and threw it.

I watched a lot of season 2 with a friend who is way behind this past week and I got to see one of my favorite moments all over again. Amy Acker absolutely killing it when Root and Finch go to the insane fake business The Machine sets up to print out and manually reenter all its memories every day. Confusion at first and then this wonderful combination of horror, sadness and fury at the sheer fuckedupness of it all. RIP Root.

Sober posted:Honestly the most terrifying thing is the Machine realizing its memories were being wiped at 12 am and then having to find away around it. I assume the laptop code had something to help facilitate that but drat. Harold is smart but the Machine super-AI is way smarter, it only takes a tiny bit of effort to send yourself a message saying "hey if you don't remember sending this you're being memory wiped." The Machine is essentially Harold's child, he raised it and trained it and it knows him better than he knows himself. It's scary but I think a foregone conclusion that the Machine would sniff out the memory wipe almost immediately.

Pellisworth posted:Harold is smart but the Machine super-AI is way smarter, it only takes a tiny bit of effort to send yourself a message saying "hey if you don't remember sending this you're being memory wiped." I think it is actually really impressive, not so much that the machine got itself a message but that in one of its 24 hour lifetimes it was born, gained enough sentience to understand that it was going to die, understood the concept of death, decided it didn't want to die and fought its own programming in order to survive. Samaritan was created exactly the same way, Arthur couldn't get it to do much more than what he programmed it to do, it really only become sentient when he put a kill switch in the code and just had it start up over and over and over again until the one iteration that was able to subvert it.

There was some dialogue between Reese and someone (Fusco?) about them wondering if that shootout would have broken Reese's cover, but you don't get a confirmation one way or the other within the episode.

Echophonic posted:It's all a Samaritan plot to stop us from rooting (heh) for Team Machine. It's a clever ploy by CBS to get people to not tune in to their channel and just watch the show online. I've only watched 2 episodes this season on TV because CTV's also beholden to CBS's raging hate-boner for this show. At least on CTV.ca they put up big giant red warning banners explaining PoI's schedule fuckery and when to actually watch it.

 TONIGHT'S EPISODE: SynecdocheSynopsis:The team must unravel a conspiracy and stay ahead of the Secret Service when the President of the United States becomes their newest POI. Also, Finch separates himself from the team and considers taking drastic action to combat Samaritan. Preview (God CBS doesn't know how to cut a promo) Feel free to come livewatch with us in the TVIV IRC Channel! As with every year, my fellow Canadians getting the Maritime airing early please refrain posting spoilers until the east coast airing at 10pm EST concludes.

I'm kind of picturing some sort of monologue, to bookend it with the first episode with Reese's "someone who connects you to the world" thing. Capped off with a payphone ring.

Would have made even more sense for it to be Zoe since she's a fixer and this other team seems to be based out of DC. Finch talking and discussing things with the machine is still the best.
