Pretty disappointed that Elias is confirmed as being dead for real. I always expected him, Fusco, Leon and Bear to survive on after the series finale.

Zaggitz posted:Okay I know this is a pretty obvious thing to say. But now more than ever:If you do not want to get MASSIVELY spoiled on upcoming developments for this season, avoid any and all press releases/promo photos for the show going forward. They have already released stuff all the way till ep 10 of the season and there is some massive stuff in there. Wow you weren't kidding, these are huge, huge massive spoilers and I have no idea why they'd out out these promo picks unless its a huge misdirect or just to drum up more interest for fans. I totally regret looking them up but at the same time, it looks awesome and I can't wait to watch those episodes. SpookyLizard posted:I want Fusco to guess and be wrong. A reversal of what Carter did, where's he's just like "it's aliens, isn't? That's how you know all this stuff, alien surveilance." Can totally see a scene where Root convinces Fusco she's a psychic or a wizard.

I'm changing my vote to 'only the Machine dies/merges with Samaritan'. I can't imagine the writers pulling away Shaw, Root or Fusco after what they went through last episode and I can't imagine this show killing Reese and Finch if there was the possibility it'd get renewed when it was filming.

gently caress you CBS. Also shouldn't the Machine and Samaritan have made physical back ups somewhere?

John's not really dead. He just retired to a farm upstate with Carter and Root.

I really liked the fact that the Machine took more inspiration and enlightenment from a pair of (irrelevant) minor characters than it did from something the gang said or did. It sold the idea that the Machine really was everywhere which isn't something they've really covered before. With Reese's death, I'm not sure if I remembered it wrong but after he gets shot and slumps down, were Samaritan's goons firing at him or at the laptop/satellite dish? When it came to Samaritan v the Machine though, I'm not sure if Greer is to blame. The Machine is the way it is essentially because Finch broke it a shitload of times to get it to work. Any of the earlier copies could have just come to the same conclusions and actions Samaritan without Greer's input.

oohhboy posted:???! I liked a lot of the number of the week ones. The serial episodes have a bigger high but sometimes you just want to come home after work and relax. The show did a good job with seeding the episodic episodes with little things that tied in to the major plot.

Spergatory posted:Again; he was not making her wait. It was a choice. She was willing. All he had to do was ask, and he didn't. It was his choice, and he made the wrong one. When you say he chose correctly, you are literally contradicting not only Reese himself, but his entire arc in the show. The definition of toxic masculinity is essentially: Men are soldiers. Men don't have feelings. Men fight and kill and sacrifice because it's their duty. Men must bear all burdens and they must do it alone. Reese's entire loving character arc is unlearning that and realising that he can have feelings and attachments, he can depend on others, he is allowed to want happiness for himself. I have no idea how you could watch the show and miss that. I don't think that's Reese though. A huge part of the show is basically about fundamentally broken people ('bad code') trying to overcome their limitations and make a better situation for themselves. Reese's fault is his Messiah complex. He's the one who has to dive head first everytime into a problem and try to save everyone by himself. It's something that Carter and the other call him out on it time and time again and even in the last couple of episodes, he basically dumps another chance at happiness because the mission always comes first and he has to be the one to save everybody. What you're saying about toxic masculinity can basically be applied to the other characters on the show. Carter, Fusco, Shaw, Root and Finch basically all have story lines where they deny their own feelings and fight and sacrifice alone out of duty with the weight on the world on them. Whoever said they were superheros is basically right and really early on in the show, one of the biggest theories in the thread was that this show was basically Nolan's version of the Justice League. I mean, in the end, Reese dumps another chance at happiness and sacrifices himself for the mission. He doesn't really learn to overcome his feelings or get in touch with his emotions. He goes out being the hero that he is and dies basically the same way he did the first time. There isn't a magically moment where he's healed of his issues and he was right to not ask Jessica to wait. He's the adopted son of a war hero who swaps his duty and mission to the Army to that of the CIA and then again to Finch and the Machine. He's never going to be the family man that his girlfriend wanted. theflyingexecutive posted:The "lovely cop drama" to which I was referring is not an attack on cop drama at large, but how it fits into the show's ideas. Weirdly, this actually gets worse as the show progresses. It starts with using HR as a statement on how the police could tacitly allow organized crime to occur in the interest of preserving order over the individual lives destroyed by such crime. (It adds the nuance later, Fusco and the crooked cops start off as generic greedy amoral bad guys) It also attempted to use Fusco as an example of how someone so clearly designated as evil can eventually become good, undercut by flashbacks that show Fusco as far more reluctant and accidentally bad than his introduction would suggest. The HR storyline morphs such that they abandon their goals of allowing criminal organizations to exist to preserve order and into a very flat, very generic situation where HR is actively facilitating and committing crime to enrich themselves. HR and Elias are basically the idea that even when you're trying to build a perfect world, corruption and crime will always exist because humans are lovely. Luckily, Samaritan finds a solution to this age old problem
