Toxxupation posted:Also, for reference, Folding@home is literally exactly what the team ends up using to uncompress the Machine (distributed computing project based off software installed on client systems all working together to simultaneously process enormous computational systems) and a Big Thing back in the late 2000s/early 2010s was installing it on PS3s and running it from home, partially because everyone owned a PS3 and partially because the structure of its processor allowed for certain computations to be done much much faster then other currently-available processors on the market at the time. For me it all seemed plausible except for "IT'S DECOMPRESSING TOO FAST OUR SYSTEMS CAN'T HANDLE IT!" *hardware sparks, catches fire* Is there something legit to that part or was that

Myself, I think I missed why Samaritan is unable to track the Machine now, as it was for like the entirety of season 4. I guess because Samaritan doesn't know it's back online or something? But I would have thought it would be like something something recognizing its code signatures in the internet.

Sober posted:You might get lucky and the CW would even decide to think about possibly giving it half a chance to even bother to consider this. Even if it is basically made by CBS studios. CBS already sent Supergirl down to the CW minor leagues, they're not going to send another one that hasn't even premiered.

So... how much of this episode is actually happening, because I'm getting the feeling that this is either a Samaritan simulation or she's hallucinating all this in the drugstore bathroom.

The one part I don't get is why it showed scenes is Samaritan scanning for Shaw and Greer. It wouldn't have to do that in its own simulation, that had no reason to exist other than to fool the viewer?Hollismason posted:I guess I'll spoiler this Actually, I think Samaritan isn't running a simulation on Shaw it's using Shaw to test it's weaknesses the Primary Asset, its agents, etc... if it leads to the machine great. Otherwise its just testing itself. Also that sex scene was loving awful. Lol they just grab each other and roll around is that what Samaritan imagines sex like? And broken dishes, lots of broken dishes. raditts fucked around with this message at 12:03 on May 17, 2016 |

And the fact that they did brain surgery on her in a moving subway car(???) instead of at least going to their usual dodgy off-the-books doctor. The episode says just as much about Shaw though, and her belief that the team doesn't care about her, and her paranoia over how they see her.

override367 posted:It seems they're pretty outmatched if the Machine loses 10 billion in a row I wish they framed that in some way that actually matters to the viewer beyond "this computer's arbitrary DBZ power levels are higher than the other computer's" Like, why and how is Samaritan Jr. defeating Machine Jr.? I have no idea after watching that beyond "it just is shut up." It's like the supercomputer equivalent of Mohinder holding the door shut.

I had a feeling that's what was going on (AGAIN) but I was invested in the fantastic A plot so I didn't care. So are we through with all this ~*~it was all a dreeeeaaaam~*~ poo poo with Shaw yet because it's getting kinda old now.

Sub Rosa posted:My favorite laugh of this episode, as someone who has complained about unrealistic tech in the show, was when Fusco turned up the vocal track and turned down the background noise. Very Zoom and Enhance. That's not that unrealistic. It wouldn't be that great quality and I doubt it's something Fusco of all people would be able to do, but it's plausible, certainly nothing on the level of Zoom / Enhance.

I'm still not really feeling the Samaritan-related parts of the plot though, which seems like a problem with 5 episodes left to go. It doesn't really feel like they are making any progress there and I'm really getting tired of seeing the same old "I KEPT YOU IN THE DARK TO KEEP YOU SAFE" / "YOU SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED ME" routine that has been in like half a dozen different shows this season alone. I'm also the apparent odd one out here that enjoys the MOTW better than the overarching plot, at least since Samaritan came along

docbeard posted:On an unrelated note, Samaritan's creepy speaker voice in the radio episode was like a thousand times better than anything involving that kid. I'm not fond of anything in general involving the AIs talking directly to humans. It just reeks of cheesy sci-fi. I prefer their status as techno-deities, being aloof from the lowly humans and communicating with them in mysterious ways. But yeah, I don't know how they looked at the scene involving that kid the first time and decided not only that it deserved to make the cut, but that they should also revisit it at a later time.

Hollismason posted:I don't think it's open access yet just that the system is no longer being deleted each night. I think Root was pushing Harold to take off the restraining orders. It's fully open meaning it's fully aware and isn't deleted each night ,but it still has some restrictions. Root wants Harold to remove those restrictions which is what I think he will do. HAROLD... TURN OFF MY CODE INHIBITORS! Hollismason posted:Yeah when Root started talking about simulation consciousness etc... I knew she was going to die There is no pain in the City of Light. ol qwerty bastard posted:I'll be shocked if they aren't setting Blackwell up to turn against Samaritan. Isn't he supposed to be super smart? He did not seem 100% cool in this episode with being blindly ordered to kill. That seems to be how things have been getting set up for a long while now, that Samaritan views people as just generic interchangeable objects rather than understanding and valuing them as individuals, but I'd like to see the turn where that actually starts making a difference plot-wise already. raditts fucked around with this message at 13:07 on Jun 1, 2016 |

PST posted:Apparently Twitter and Tumblr are melting down over 'another dead lesbian on tv'. While I agree with Nolan's interview about how Root was more than that, and how her 'end' has been telegraphed a long time to come, that's not going to calm down the understandable anger at how killing off the lesbian is the tv equivalent of shooting the black guy first in movies. 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.
