This episode brought up a lot of questions for me: if there are other Team Irrelevants, is Samaritan after them too? If not, why not? They wouldn't have the blind spots added by the replaced servers, so no cover identities for them. Are they just better at hiding? Are they actually helping fight Samaritan, or can only Finch & Co. do that for some reason? How long have they been around? From Pierce talking it sounded like they'd been doing this for a while; could they have helped last week when Harold's number came up and avoided Root's & Elias's deaths? Did they have access to the open system before Finch closed it? Other Team Irrelevants going around raises a lot of questions regarding the Samaritan plotline, so I'm hoping they tie into the conclusion and we get good answers to them, though I'm a bit worried it'll just be dropped since we've only got two episodes left. Edit: And for all the importance of the Machine being a closed system again, it's remarkably chatty (not to mention the bit where it threatens that guys daughter). What "full potential" can it not exercise without Harold's approval, if it's already got other teams running around that it's giving numbers to, can modify the organ waiting list, speak through the loudspeaker, and somehow get all those people after Harold kneecapped?

Zaggitz posted:The finale ends with Reese finally KNOWING his body. Reese will get pounded in the butt by Alistair Wesley, thus tying up the last remaining loose end in more ways than one. Edit: Samaritan's fatal misstep in the last episode is its newest choice of target: Leon Tao. Jigsaw fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Jun 12, 2016 |

raditts posted:...I don't get it, he created a robot that might randomly do something that can inflict pain, and it's some huge shocking surprise that the thing is indeed capable of inflicting pain? Can it "decide" to inflict pain, or is it just a random number generator that moves an arm with a needle on the end of it when the number is higher/lower than some threshold? The way the article's written it's unclear, but I'm guessing it's the latter. It also makes it sound like it's not completely trivial to make a system whose behavior from moment to moment is unpredictable, which is just stupid.

I was a bit bummed they couldn't get Taraji Henson back for a short cameo in this episode.  Otherwise, great ep, though.

I wonder if Finch'll reconstruct the Machine out of the version locked in the Faraday cage with the Samaritan code in the subway. Presumably, the virus can't affect something not networked. That'd also let them finally resolve that plotline after doing nothing with it all season.
