Wait aren't Jack and the other guy both AWOL at this point?

Yeah. I assume Finch did some computer stuff to fake them being checked in or something.

I love how they set up the differing views of Finch and Potential Bad Guy of the Week.

Also Shaw :3

That rookie was sent by HR, wasn't he?

Either that or he'll be tragically killed by HR.

Oh this guy better get whacked by the end of the episode. Nobody attacks Finch!

Those last 10 minutes. drat.

-edit- Also, I missed most of season 2. I assume that the last bit with rookie cop showed that he was working with HR?

And is also the reason why Elias is currently hiding out in a basement rather than in prison. You should probably watch the rest of season 2 is what I'm saying.

If they'd post it online I would! :arghfist:

That ending really hit what I don't like about Root; she's literally a super hacker AND a super stealth agent with no reason to be the latter. How can some hacker somehow sneak up on a trained operative and disable them?

Yeah that part I didnt like. Given how Shaw has acted in the past, i'd assume that she'd booby trap her door or something. On the other hand, maybe she has some cameras in her room or something for the machine to scope out how to best sneak in?

It seems Carter chose poorly.

Yup. I'm really hoping that this is part of Carter's plan.

I was thinking Assault on Precinct 13 but that works too.

For a brief, brief moment I actually thought the writers might kill Carter. The whole "a hero falls" thing in the preview for this episode made me think they might actually go for it after everyone's been bracing for something to happen to Fusco, but nope, last minute phone call saves the day. Still though, this is just the first act, two more to go.

I was absolutely sure for a few seconds she was going to start the monologue and then promptly get shot. This show has me on such an edge, and if every character gets through it alive I will be shocked.

Im going to go with Root. She's not really heroic (yet), but I still keep coming back to Finch telling her that how does she know this isn't exactly where the Machine wants her to be. What if the Machine is playing the long game and has someone she can trust completely in close proximity to team irrelevant in case poo poo goes down?

Holy poo poo they are going to kill Fusco and his kid :(

Im back on "Carter is going to die". Fusco and Reese would be too obvious at this point.

-edit- So does Finch save Fusco or Reese?

I kinda like root. I hope she doesn't get broken. More broken I mean

The show is kind of fundamentally about redemption so I doubt they're going to unredeem a character.

I hope.

But after the S2 finale, the Machine can upgrade and change it's own code. While it is respecting Finch's wishes in terms of the nature of their relationship, the Machine now possesses agency that isn't bound by any artificial restrictions Finch would have created.

Just because she doesn't have to doesn't mean she doesn't still want to respect Finch's wishes.

Pilli posted:

Since the Zoe actress is busy on another show, I was wondering whether they set up Holly as her replacement. It seems to suit the Reese character to have a part time female sidekick. Not sure if the show tried it with Shaw, but I never saw these two actors working that well together. Shaw comes off better for when me paired with Finch, who really got "her number."

They did it in the season 2 finale. It was great. The problem isn't Shaw/Reese chemistry; the problem is that Shaw is nobody's sidekick.

It helps that Fusco is so goddamn amazing.

They also have Shaw and Root, so "oh boy they killed off the badass lady of course" doesn't apply.
