Are Harper and Zoe confirmed for this season or something, or are you just listing everyone?

Was that Samaritan at the end, or is The Machine recruiting?

I assume The Machine, since the recruiter used Finch's line from the pilot?

What's the clue for the different UIs? Is there something obvious?

I mean, the kid's not really supposed to be good, he's just repeating lines. But yeah it doesn't make it any less annoying to watch him.

Special Finch guns, obviously.

Just like their magic invisible earpieces.

So the only solution the Machine could come up with was to sleep with the enemy?

The final episode is going to be a giant robot battle as both ASIs combine a bunch of trucks into Voltrons.

Samaritan will appear to have the upper hand, but there's a crucial piece of intel The Machine gained by working with its assets instead of using them as tools like Samaritan: The Machine kneecaps Samaritan.

It's a prequel to Lost and the Machine is the Island.

Seems like the Machine should be able to take out a drone.

Harper is the worst. I assume they used her because they couldn't get Zoe. Would have made even more sense for it to be Zoe since she's a fixer and this other team seems to be based out of DC.

Finch talking and discussing things with the machine is still the best.

Zoe would never be part of a team like that.

The DC team wouldn't have had access to the open system, Team Primary did because they physically have the Machine in their possession.

It seems like it's partially (or more than that) taken on Roots personality as well as voice.

It seems like it's speaking like Root consciously (or whatever the equivalent word is for a machine) for Harold's benefit.

Like when it was talking to Harold in the car, that wasn't Root's manner of speech. Just her voice. But after it explained everything to him, it called him Harry.

Orange box. It was all Half Life 3. Gabe is a genius, praise Valve.

They're really just using irrelevant as shorthand for "Samaritan doesn't care if this person dies".

Wasn't there a Senator that was a asset of Samaritan. Maybe it didn't protect the president because it was maneuvering that Senator in place for control of the country?

Samaritan would have taken an active role if that was the goal.

I think with 2 episodes left we just take it at face value. The president doesn't matter in Samaritan's plans.

This episode had a lot of moments where it felt like the writing was doing too much WINK WINK GET IT?? at the audience; stuff like the new Irrelevants quoting Finch's opening credits monologue and Reese explaining why he didn't want to be Secret Service.

Reese was telling a joke.

Korra was bad and had terrible ratings though.

It got good around the time Nick started loving around with it, actually.

That doesn't matter, damage was done by the crappy start.

Couldn't Greer just shoot Harold in the head instead of triggering some Bond villain death trap?
