"Oh God, you have her bad timing, too." That was a damned good finale. Fusco and Bear survived so there's no need for a riot, and bonus Harold and Shaw! Here's hoping Netflix picks up a totally unrelated show called "Thornhill."

So wait... we saw a couple shots of Greer in a hospital bed, I guess on life support or something... so is that old fucker not actually dead, or is he braindead, or what?

Now that the series is over, I'm disappointed nobody kicked that dipshit little kid Samaritan was using as a speech puppet in the face at any point. Everything with that kid was loving dumb.raditts posted:So wait... we saw a couple shots of Greer in a hospital bed, I guess on life support or something... so is that old fucker not actually dead, or is he braindead, or what?

The machine's default black background becoming a yawning abyss for Samaritan was a nice final UI touch:

 Really glad it stuck the landing, despite the rushed season. I can only imagine that Blackwell would have played out better had there been a full arc to build him up to villain status than the few leaps in this one. Here's the piano music that was playing this episode. Great stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BioylrW8jhU

None of the people the machine was looking at were significant or related to the main characters. They were all just random deaths she witnessed at some point that helped her understand death.

It's far more common for shows to end badly than to stick the landing, but this was easily one of my favorite episodes of the entire run. Even as someone who feels like it was definitely time for the show to end, the conclusion of the show's arc was really satisfying. I'm usually someone who finds things to criticize even about my favorite shows, which this really wasn't anymore, but I think the end was good enough that I really don't have any complaints for once. Just on a sentimental level, John sacrificing himself for Finch, who had more to live for with his unresolved relationship with Grace, was definitely the appropriate choice.CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:gently caress you though Finch, you should have died along with John. You don't deserve your happy ending. Show just glossing over all the damage you did with your ice9 virus. If Finch deserved punishment for anything, it was for not preventing the rise of Samaritan in the first place by taking out a crucial policymaker. It is kind of ironic that he ultimately won by engaging in some lesser evil activity that would lead to direct harm for many people around the world, in the name of the greater good, given that Samaritan claimed to be doing exactly that same thing. Still, the fact is that the Machine is obviously a safer bet for humanity given its capacity for caring. Samaritan was put in charge without any moral guidance, so it could just as easily have decided to snuff out humanity someday as save it (though I still think we're meant to believe it was sincere about its desire to preserve humanity in the present).

One thing I was kind of hoping to happen-- if Samaritan had a backup copy then obviously it had a place it intended to upload it to after the storm had passed. I was expecting a bunch of Samaritan agents standing around, watching a screen with baited breath, waiting for their god to return, only to be greeted by the Machine UI and a hearty  LOL, YOU THOUGHT. HERE'S SOME IRRELEVANT NUMBERS, LOSERS, GO MAKE YOURSELVES USEFUL.

His actions would lead to catastrophe making him Relevant. But he was both unaware of the results of his actions and targeted for murder by Decima agents, making him Irrelevant. The Machine was faced with a moral quandary and placed Harold there so that Admin would solve it. TALAMANTES TALAMAS TALAS TALLAS TALLIS I''d say due to the spacing, it's gotta be John Talas.

Decima were there to guard him, after all this was the man who was going to secure Samaritan got the gov't feeds. He was never in any danger. The machine spit out his number as the potential cause of a lot of deaths, the only solution to which was killing him.

pik_d posted:TALAMANTES Hrmmmm http://www.name-doctor.com/name-talas-meaning-of-talas-26466.html quote:This name derives from the Greek “talôs (τάλως)”, meaning “talon, claw”. Talōs was a giant man of bronze who protected Europa in Crete from pirates and invaders by circling the island's shores three times daily while guarding it. In the Cretan dialect, Talôs was the equivalent of the Greek Hêlios, the Sun: the lexicon of Hesychius of Alexandria notes simply "Talos is the Sun". In Crete, Zeus was worshipped as Zeus Tallaios, "Solar Zeus", absorbing the earlier god as an epithet in the familiar sequence.
