I'm worried. In that last Samaritan POV shot of Shaw going to the jeep, her tracking halo was clear with no red triangle or crosshair. This escape isn't considered "deviant."

I guess it's because she hasn't figured out that she's not in a simulation yet?

Greer's death was perfect; he willingly accepted being strategically killed by Samaritan to further its goals because he believed its deductions were 100% infallible and correct. Turns out Samaritan was wrong and Greer died for absolutely nothing.

Kind of disappointed that the Blackwell plotline went absolutely nowhere.

That was a good finale, even though it was pretty clear that the ending was an extremely truncated version of whatever the writers had originally planned. I'm gonna miss this show :(

The more I think about it, the more I feel like Blackwell's presence in this show was a big mistake. There were a lot of aborted plotlines in this show where you could tell where they were going if they had more time, but I honestly have no idea what they were trying to do with Blackwell. It felt like his purpose changed from episode to episode, from "average Samaritan operative" to "super special chosen one" to "potential spanner in the works" to "replacement for Martine" before they eventually settled on "Shaw if she never joined Team Machine", which is the least interesting route they could have taken. It makes me wonder why they included him at all.
