Sober posted:Except that was kind of a sticking point when they were in DC last season and they interpreted the Machine as telling it to kill Congressman Roger McCourt. Literally following that episode they hadn't received or helped numbers as they were doing; at that point he had already decided to clock out even if Reese and Shaw refused to. But honestly, that's probably just nitpicking and like I said, it was a good episode.

The invitation to the game was an image posted on a message board that contained instructions to hack Silverpool's network. The question is either why wasn't Silverpool tracking the other players or how did the other players get as far as Claire if they were unable to hack it?

In a scifi show about two god-like AI's fighting it out for world domination, a New York cop making a clean shot without harming civilians kinda stretches the limits of credibility.

I hope the new captain sticks around. Also, "it's hot as hell out here" is a perfectly valid reason for shooting someone in the knee.

Zaggitz posted:Neat detail, since the episode or case at least didn't have anything to do with Samaritan we saw all the transitions from the Machine's perspective. I wonder if this will be a subtle way of indicating when an episode will be arc heavy.

For a while, I thought "Dominic" was going to turn out to be Elias' new alias and means of control. This was an okay Number of the Week, but even better was that they're re-establishing the local power-structures that were destroyed in the previous seasons. Elias left a vacuum and now it's being filled. HR will probably follow. DivisionPost posted:What is this, the 4th time they ran a misdirect like this? And it STILL landed just as hard, probably because this time they hired an unknown and put him next to Marlo loving Stanfield, all the while running the double-cross with the DEA agent. I also constantly forget that people like Fusco and Elias don't know about the Machine. It's incredible how much potential the show keeps in reserve.

Daveh posted:I think "How do you do that thing with your voice?" Is my favourite line of the episode. "Put him on the line" was pretty great. monster on a stick posted:The Machine gives our heroes two kinds of numbers - the ones that are the instigators, and ones that are victims. There's certainly some evidence that the Machine provided victim numbers to Research - the scientists killed at the beginning of Relevance was set up, and his number was given because of that.

Not a bad episode, but I wasn't really feeling the tension. And there was too much exposition, even by this show's standards.

They should have gotten one of the kids from Blackish. Honestly, it was as much a fault of the direction and purplish dialogue. That's hard to sell even with adults, much less kids. I do appreciate what they were going for, though.

GrandpaPants posted:I'm really curious where this show will go if they neutralize "hostile AI god" as their nemesis. What's left? Like even if they go back to that whole Elias vs. Dominic storyline, that just seems like such a step down in intensity/threat level. If they stick with the Neuromancer angle, it will be extra-terrestrial AI.

Katreus posted:IMO, this coldness is one of the reasons that Root was originally drawn to Shaw. The idea that someone doesn't really seem to feel emotions or, at least, not enough for it to affect her calculus - well, that would make Shaw very logical, almost machine-like in a way in her efficiency. And as she got closer, she found that Shaw's got a pretty unbending moral core despite (because of?) that.

oohhboy posted:The machine didn't tell them to do anything, it suggested a possible solution. The Machine registered the threat to McCourt as “ERROR: DIRECTIVE CONFLICT.” McCourt was innocent and in danger, but was also unknowingly creating a mass casualty event, as well as presenting a direct threat to the Machine. He qualified as both a relevant and irrelevant number. The Machine wasn't telling them to kill him, She was putting Harold, the Admin, in a position to make a decision. The Machine was asking for guidance. I think Harold simultaneously misread the situation (thinking it was a hit) while also solving it (don't kill innocents) for the Machine.

Zaggitz posted:Reese was at about his usual level, but Fusco was spouting off Shaw rear end lines that made no sense for his character to be spouting. I thought this episode did a good job of playing on standard expectations without giving standard explanations. Yes, I realize that sounds goofy.

Zaggitz posted:Yes I did see the episode that was all about how much Fusco changed from his days as a "cleaning up the streets" dirty cop. Have YOU seen Devil's Share? Shakugan posted:Anyone else find the budding "relationship" between Reese and his therapist to be incredibly disturbing? That he's basically going to these sessions to creepily hit on her? He had a chance to just ask her out when their mandated therapy ended, which while still weird, is nowhere near as bad as continuing his sessions where he never says anything anyway. It's just all sorts of creepy and inappropriate.
