So how's CBS going to gently caress with the airing besides what they've already done?  I just got around to watching that extended trailer and I am really excited to see where they take the final act.

JossiRossi posted:There was a great moment when Finch was talking about the Machine right next to Fusco. When Finch then tries to get Fusco's attention he was totally in la la land. Fusco knows exactly as much as he wants to. I think he knows he is a potential weak link, so if he ever gets coerced he doesn't actually want info to divulge. And that's why Fusco is the best. Second, if you count the dog.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou posted:I thought he said "farkakte," which is Yiddish for "crappy" or "screwed up" or "ridiculous" or "goddamn." As a NYC cop, he probably would have picked it up as a slang expression. That's what it sounded like, now that I've seen it spelled out. That's a pretty Fusco thing to say, too.

I think it was a gamble and a way to get out of camera view. She'd either get a new identity and be on her way or she'd stall until she came up with a better plan and/or got help.

Yeah, the psychiatrist part was more interesting. They could have done a lot more with his need to protect people conflicting with his desire for a normal life.

I think one of the more telling ways that Finch was off was him referring to Samaritan as a god. I also liked Lambert referring to Team Machine as the Machine's acolytes. Both of those things are things Greer says. I forget what Lambert called them when he gave the meeting invite to Root, but I'm reasonably sure it wasn't acolyte. I guess Samaritan thinks Greer is an example of how people see AIs.

GrandpaPants posted:Did this episode take place in the past? I thought Shaw showed up in S4 in one of Decima's vans. I forget the circumstances, but does it line up with the possibility that she's the one who sniped Elias and Dominic? I don't think so. They didn't make it ambiguous who shot them, it was just some dude from Samaritan.

I don't know that it'll be 'bad' , but I'm definitely feeling like it's going to be really open after a big paradigm shift of some sort. I wonder if this episode is doing something to set that up with them releasing the research. It's definitely in keeping with the show that releasing something when you don't understand the consequences is dangerous. I like the Root/Reese parallel in that they're both trying to encourage the person they're protecting to take up arms. Reese trying to teach Harold to shoot definitely has an echo in Root wanting to teach the Machine to push back. Their pacifistic natures are the only thing keeping them from becoming the monsters they're fighting, as evidenced by the Garrison kidnapping. I definitely am interested to see where they take that.

Well, one of the first things Finch says to Reese is that they'll probably both end up dead. I feel like it going either way would be pretty satisfying. It being a squad wipe would feel pretty lovely, though, I think.

WarLocke posted:This came up a while back in the thread, and someone had the idea that Finch and Reese will die in the finale (fulfilling the arc started in that early episode when they talk about neither surviving all this alive) and the show will end with Root doing a version of Finch's monologue as she and Shaw continue to do the work of Team Irrelevant (for Root, finally completing her journey from villain to hero; and for Shaw mirroring Reese's arc of finding a purpose in life by saving numbers). I could very easily see that working quite well. The changes in the intro and monologue have been used to show changes in the status quo fairly frequently, so I could see capping it with a final one.

Well, I think he was trying to save his own rear end by reminding her how futile resistance in a simulation is. I think he underestimated how much she wanted to watch him bleed.

ShakeZula posted:Is Shaw's original blindspot cover still effective? Now that Samaritan has lost manual track of her she can just disappear into the crowd again, right? Her setup isn't like Root's, once it was burned, it was done. Samaritan has that blindspot ID marked as deviant. Actually, something I noticed. The machine tags people based on threat, knowledge, and stuff like admin or asset. Samaritan's only special markers are threat and asset. Greer just has Primary instead of an asset number. Really cool way of showing the difference in how they see people.

I think it's Finch being a hard-headed son of a bitch and refusing tools because they violate his ethics. Root got all the information she wanted when asking the open system. Harold just refused to rely on it at all, since he planned on closing it.

I don't think it's a subtle distinction. Samaritan is an open database. Anyone with access can run queries, track people, mark out hits. The Machine is closed (to most people, anyway), it has all the same information, but the idea is that you can only interact with it as designed via the relevant numbers protocol and Ingram's failsafe. It's the difference between being able to talk to the dude in the Chinese Box and the door being locked. It definitely seems that the erasure methods aren't being repeated, I'd agree with that. I mean, they weren't before, but now it's not even requiring a workaround.
