God drat if that wasn't one of the best episode they've ever done. I was calling my TV a motherfucker when I realized they were giving us the Elias plot again and I totally fell for it and Elias was along for the ride. Hoooly poo poo I love this show. Also I didn't even realize I was doing it until after but I did a few weird little claps during that close up of Finch watching the burning car beside Elias. Full measures, no fuckin' around Finch. Then Reese tells Fusco? He's tellin' Fusco FINALLY? And if you're not already smiling ear to ear at this point what are you even watching?? But ahhh poo poo the bridge. The music. The Shaw This episode had everything. bring back old gbs fucked around with this message at 05:04 on May 31, 2016 |

Kegslayer posted:I'm changing my vote to 'only the Machine dies/merges with Samaritan'. My new tinfoil hat theory is the Machine doesn't give a gently caress about Samaritan. 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 18:50 on May 31, 2016 |

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...

raditts posted:Yeah, she just got a paltry 3 seasons as a main character, outlived another main character, died in the fourth-to-last episode of the series, is probably still going to be in the rest of the episodes in computer form, and wasn't even the first person to die in that episode, but it's totally the same as the black guy dying first. You just wasted ~10 seconds of your life trying to apply logic to a tumblr person and now you're a racist too because you mentioned a black guy. Wait till the crew hears about this!!

Tortolia posted:Reese went on one hell of a rampage after Carter died. 600 dead prisoners in a pit behind the prison, Finch sitting against a tree trunk catching his breath, wiping the blood off his hands.

THF13 posted:He's not important. He's desperate because of his ex-con status and he's willing to commit violence against others so Samaritan is using him as a pawn. He was getting step by step instructions without understanding really why he was doing them or why it was important. He is a also literal genius though, it displayed his IQ in an overlay but not everyone had that. It may matter.

SirMonkeyButt posted:Just seems weird. Samaritan could recruit or manipulate almost anyone from a much larger talent pool, including professionally trained soldiers, spies, Hague investigators, etc. I think it's going a step further though, going back through that house painters life to see that he got abused when he was younger, put into foster care, foster parents weren't great people, took advantage of the violence in his past to get him to do violent things for them, then hung him out to dry when he gets arrested for doing something he was ordered to. So Samaritan has this profile of a guy who desperately wants approval from some authority figure and will gladly commit violence for the person if he gets that, and this is their default behaviour because they are mentally broken. Samaritan just has all these different environmental factors it knows add up to make specific skill sets and it's finding people better suited to their jobs this way instead of simply stealing Blackwater's employee list and assuming they'll be loyal because they are soldiers.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I'm sure someone else already mentioned it, which is what reminded me of it, but go back to the Season 5 premiere. It began with some apocalyptic-sounding narration in Root's voice, so go watch and listen again, knowing what we know now, and it will change your outlook on what we've already seen and what is yet to come. nah I don't remember that it was probably nothing.

oohhboy posted:Destroy the antenna with what? and the fact they weren't going to get to the antenna in time to destroy it unless they used Root's magic missile. As you said, they had to be sure and the Machine was the only thing that could pursue him. Could have used Chekov's semtex I suppose. I thought both the machine and Samaritan needed the sat, and it was a bit of a race.

Oasx posted:Why would you release a box set of a tv series without any extras? I would think that it was more important than ever to give people a reason to buy the series, instead of jus re-watching it online. The answer is always CBS

BoneMonkey posted:Thought CBS didn't own the DVDs? That's why they didn't like the show so much. They couldn't make money off it on the back end? I bet they own the commentary and not the DVD rights or some silly poo poo like that. Always assume the dumbest, stupidest reasoning with CBS, they have done nothing to earn the benefit of the doubt.

KilGrey posted:I don't understand why you would do this. What's the point? Yeah, it goes faster but...? Are you really that crunched for time? Are you gonna die and need to get through shows as fast as you can? Eh, some people watch entire series while doing other things, missing half the content, then complain about plot holes. Some people watch it fast but actually pay attention. I watch everything in a sound isolated darkroom that hermetically seals and doesn't open until I've watched 12 back-to-back episodes bank-vault style. One time I accidentally started a 6 episode miniseries and was stuck in there for days until i found another series that complimented it thematically to make the full 12.
