    EPIC! AMAZING!! FANTABULOUS!!! WITHOUT HYPERBOLE, AN EPISODE AMONG ONE OF THE BEST THAT THIS SHOW HAS GIVEN US, THE VIEWERS.

    HIGHLIGHTS:

    AMAZING FLASHBACK SCENES PROVIDING GREAT INSIGHT INTO THE MACHINE'S PSYCHE!!

    AMAZING AND EPIC SCENES BETWEEN FINCH AND ROOT. HE CALLED HER FRIEND AND COMRADE. *SNIFF*

    AMONG ALL TEAM MACHINE MEMBERS - ONLY ROOT WITH THE EVER CHANGING IDENTITIES - BOTH A BLESSING AND A CURSE.

    GREAT SHOOTOUT BETWEEN ROOT AND MARTINE. I HONESTLY THOUGHT ROOT WAS GOING TO DIE.

    SPEAKING OF MARTINE - SHE'S ONE SCARY WOMAN!! CARRYING OUT SAMARITAN'S ORDERS WITH COLD EFFICIENCY. SHE'S ROOT'S COUNTERPART IN EVERY WAY.

    THE SHOW CONTINUES TO REMEMBER CARTER - REESE OPENING UP TO THE SHRINK ABOUT HER DEATH MADE ME TEAR UP. :'(

    SHAW AS ALWAYS WAS AWESOME.

    THE ENDING SCENES WERE A DOUBLE WHAMMY: SAMARITAN WANTS GREER TO FIND THE MACHINE AND HAROLD IS FINALLY READY TO TALK TO THE MACHINE.

    P.S: I apologize for the CAPS but I am way too pumped up right now. The episode blended the Number of the week seamlessly with the overall mythology and it was exhilarating to watch.

    Whoa, I thought Root was going to that great digital beyond there for a moment. Sweet scene twixt her and Harold when they were working the computers together.

    Remarkable episode, brilliant in every single way. The all conspiracy, the moments between the characters (wow Reese, Finch and Root performances was incredible), the action (spectacular Root vs Martine), the excellent script, wow, just wow.


    I love see Harold and Ingram back, the parallel between the problems with the machine in the past and the way samaritan's act today was fantastic, I think they show the first clue to stop Greer's machine. Oh man I wanna watch this episode again.


    Martine = TX from Terminator 3.

    Root! And Nathan is back! I'd love more flashbacks, I like his character. Poor pre-Machines, bad daddy murdered all of them [minus 1]. So not cool, bad Mr. Finch! Bad Dobby!

    So much better than I was expecting from the promo! Cool flashback with Ingram and nice to finally see Root a bit scared. Love the conversations about Harold's Machine verses Samaritan and to get conformation that "Martine" is in touch with Greer. The gun scene between Martine and Root was pretty awesome!


    Bad Robot stuff: Shrink scene reminiscent to Jack Bristow and Patricia Wetig's character on Alias!


    Can't wait for the next one!

    Got goose bumps when Root started to ask Harold to tell Shaw something but Harold stopped her and said Ms. Shaw already knows. I have tried to be fair minded with the people who have gone all hate-sy on this show but it is getting really hard to respect them and their scorn when you see an episode like this one.

    epic... awesome flashbacks of Finch fighting the earlier versions of the machine giving us insights of what Samaritan might be/is, getting a read of what is in John's mind with his scene with the psych, and loved every Finch/Root scene as they have an odd hotness to them (as well as Root/Shaw.. lol) and loved when Root told Finch that the only difference between the 2 machines is him...... great Root/Martine shootout - you have to think that is something we're going to see a few more times down the line.......

    Well looking at some of the criticism I think some people just weren't ready for the show to change they were liking the show just fine and believe they should have stuck to it and don't want to adapt with it. Me I like the direction it's heading I mean cases of the week are fun and all and they still do them. One constant complaints that keep comming up is shaw and root and carter that what's really becoming annoying.

    Man, this series is incredible.


    There simply isn't another series on television that manages its story so well. Person of Interest is miles ahead of any competition.


    Carla Buono is the perfect actor for her role. She portrays pure mechanical evil so brilliantly. Excellent stuff.


    The Machine's iterations that we saw Finch battle with were pretty awesome. The original "Day One" Oct 13, 2001 fits with earlier reasoning that The Machine was commissioned after 9/11. It took Finch 3 1/2 years to get it to work correctly before he actually began testing it. This opens up a massive new door into The Machine's development. Really looking forward to seeing this fleshed out more and more, given we already know some of what occurred up until its first day online on Feb 24, 2005


    This also makes me question how Arthur Claypool (and later, Greer and Decima) managed to build Samaritan without those same issues.


    Aside from the intense storyline development, this episode had the usual cracking humor and one liners. Despite its serious nature, every single episode makes me laugh. It's a beautiful combination!

    This was a brilliant episode and easily my favorite this season. The flashbacks were so nice, finally we are starting to grasp why Samaritan is so dangerous (and the Machine is, too)! 43 versions, only 1 machine didn't go rogue in seconds.

    The number case was much better to get into, the dialogue was incredibly good (Root/Finch, I also liked how Carter isn't erased and still in the show's memory... not many shows do this!). Then, the mythology... it was all good.

    Plus, I'm glad the poll seems to be back to normal. It's ok to like or dislike, but what was going on here wasn't nice.

    Arthur did mention that Samaritan had issues. That's why it wasn't used at first, right? As for Greer and Decima... I don't think they care about Samaritan's moral code. If it's not working right, they'd just believe that it's because it shouldn't.

    It was a very well done episode but with some plot and character twists I didn't really like.


    Something I liked: when I saw the SP, I couldn't tell what was so familiar in the up-down shooting sequence, but now it clicked: Root's moves were very much alike how Antonio Banderas "danced" in Desperado. Nice hommage.


    Fringenos: I agree on both of your remarks. I was surprised and not exactly the best way by this change with Root. Though I think it's a good news for the Root-haters - her talk and her conversion to a "comrade and a friend" made her on the top of my "who will they kill this year" list. I don't think that Shaw would be her replacement as the AI, I think it was more about personal - about which I'm also not completely thrilled. Both twists are very hollywood-like, took right that edge from the character which made her special and interesting to me. Now with this final scene I would vote Harold as the next AI. Root has already told him once that he could have the same relationship with the machine as she has, he only needs to want it.


    The shooting of the receptionist in the lobby was IMHO too much Terminator-like. Considering The Samaritan's cpabilities Blonde Gun doesn't have a very sophisticated problem-solving toolset.

    I think "not working right" isn't in their mind at all, if "right" should mean anything about morale. Greer's vision about the pure logic based "good dictatorship" of the Machine includes that human behaviour is inconsistent and self-destroying, even with the best intentions, not to mention the worse ones. So the Samaritan can not be wrong simply because it isn't erratic and chained down by rights and wrongs.


    That's why I disagree with the opinion what somebody told a few episode ago, that the Samaritan is the "evil machine". No, Samaritan doesn't evil, it's purposeful. That's why I felt killing the receptionist unnecessarily violent. It didn't serve the task of the moment. No matter how much the Samaritan sees the people as Bad Codes only, dispensable, replaceable in other cases (look no further than picking the governor) it works on their cooperation voluntarily. This act was more of a hollywood overplaying.

    Samaritan finally showed its intentions by this episode and now we see the evilness it is gathering.

    hey, in Finch's defense the machine's 'older siblings' were trying to lie and kill him!

  25. Ereth Reetnith22 October 2014 at 16:41

    the shooting of the receptionist. maybe it's not a sign that Samaritan is losing its wits or a slip or the writers' either. maybe it's a sign that human nature interferes within Samaritan's objectives and interprets/actualizes them in an overenthusiastic manner. which means, maybe shooting the woman was Martine's impatience, and not an order of Samaritan. maybe Samaritan staged that cell game to find a human that would be fitting to serve it instead of the 'slightly faulty models' it has now.

    Simple: Machine's POV. Samaritan's POV of Harold would have been different. :)

  27. Elhar22 October 2014 at 19:22

    As I wrote below, I don't think (and very-very much hope that the writers don't think either) that the Samaritan is evil. It has a goal (defined not even by it) and it tries to achieve it by all means. The Team Machine and the Machine herself are obstacles on its way. Just like I don't feel myself evil if I get rid of a hornets' nest in the attic, the Samaritan isn't evil just because it wants to get rid of them.

    you know in the starting of Root character i never thought i would feel bad or get emotional about Root getting hurt . They did a great job in developing amy acker role.

  31. Necro22 October 2014 at 22:21

    Finch calling Root a friend, I believe, boils down to how Harold just does not have an equal. We get glimpses into his brilliance every now and then, but it's never fully explored. Presumably he isn't "just" a genius with an IQ of about 150, but someone with a considerably higher IQ, making him extremely lonely. And by lonely I don't mean that he doesn't have people close to him, because sure, he does, but when nobody around you - save for Root - even grasps the complexity of your world view, of your thought process you do become naturally attached to the one person that fully(?) understands you.

    I never said Samaritan was evil. I said it used evil people to further its aims. I believe Samaritan is amoral.

  34. Brandon Dean22 October 2014 at 23:39

    Wow, that was phenomenal. One of the best eps of the entire series imo. The shootout scenes where Samaritan and the Machine were basically controlling Root and Martine was fantastic. I have previously commented on here about how I disliked Root when she first arrived, but damn, the way the have writers have developed her story and character has totally changed my perception of her.


    So many different reasons to love this episode.

  36. AnnoDomini23 October 2014 at 02:44

    Indeed. I thought the episode was pretty much perfect, but then I immediately raised my eyebrows when Finch told The Machine they need to talk. It just seemed weird for him to want to talk to The Machine during such a crisis going on, and for him even to speak to The Machine wide in the open in NYC.

    I’ve been wondering whether we will see more flashbacks with
    Nathan. I loved those. Also, great character development for Root plus Reese mentioning
    Carter. And the long-awaited decision of Harold to talk to the Machine.
    Brilliant.
