I can't recall if Samaritan lists him as an asset or not.

After the scene where he shows the ballistics report and confuses the hell out of the IA guy, he does have a Samaritan asset tag, yeah.

I really dug how Keith David seemed like a really cool boss who just has a job where bad poo poo has to happen sometimes. Comes with the territory, no hard feelings.

Honestly I think it wasn't the Samaritan issue that caused him to break it off, but the CIA close call. Just last episode he was taking Fusco's comments to heart and joining the bowling team, and then he ran into Beale and dredged a load of poo poo up. There were also comments about it having been several months since the Machine was first taken down; if it was worries about Samaritan he would have broken it off earlier.

Reese flat out looked panicked when he first saw Beale in a manner I can't recall seeing before.

Ultimately he broke it off either way but having his past directly dredged up like that and Beale commenting about Reese doing what has to be done seems a bigger trigger for regression than anything.

Also, with the new version of the Machine being more proactive (hiring an assassin, providing coded messages, etc) I have to wonder if forcing John into a scenario where he would be exposed to his past was the direct goal; a guy rummaging around in classified files strikes me as a Relevant number, not an Irrelevant one. Makes me wonder what other intervening or manipulating she will be doing.

Reese went on one hell of a rampage after Carter died.

Finch is going to take things to a level Ben Linus could only dream of. Holy poo poo.

Yeah, Finch procuring a virus called Ice-9 from a secured military installation is really worrisome. :ohdear:

Fun episode and a nice little answer to the "Why doesn't the Machine have other assets" question. I wonder if they started up after the Machine was rebuilt.

I thought that was a wonderful end to a really great show. The abridged season hurt the pacing and there were definitely dropped plot threads but on the whole, pretty drat good.

Gonna miss my weekly kneecapping bonanza.
