Goddamn that was an episode. I swear, it felt 3 episodes crammed into one.

It ends with Finch dying and all the phones on earth ringing at once.

I love that Carter still took down HR.

"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."

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.

This has been bothering me for a while, but I don't think the Machine was telling Harold to kill the congressman in that episode. The congressman was both Relevant and Irrelevant. 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.

Also, it's clearly an "L"

I''d say due to the spacing, it's gotta be John Talas.

Could be Talents. Like in the Parable.

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.

If he was never in any danger, then guard him from whom? And again, if he's the potential cause of a lot of deaths, that would make him Relevant and the Machine would have given it to Northern Lights/Indigo. Team Machine only gets Irrelevants.

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.

I feel like the difference between Samaritan and the Machine is that Greer was an insufferable hands-off parent who would let his precious Indigo Child do whatever he wants, while Finch was trying to make his kid understand there was a world outsider herself and her actions had consequences.

Greer: If wiping out half the human race with a virus is what you want, who's to say it's "wrong?"

Finch: Put down both the cat and the lighter.
