Hrm. I like the alternate version of Root/The Machine's season opening phone call.

Logging into AVC with Disqus is enough to make me enjoy kinja.

I could see the Machine tapping into Shaw's chip (which I think is still in, right?) to superimpose Root into her world.

Seriously this show needs a Hugo, particularly after they (hopefully) fix the borked nomination system at WorldCon this year.

Eva Green should really also be up in there.
Emmys should really have an Honourable Mention list, where deserving actors/actresses who didn't quite make the top 5 could still get accolades.

If you stopped watching the show right after Carter died, you specifically missed the best episode of the season.

In a way, she did; Finch was the only one who could prompt the Machine into greater self-defence, and her death accomplished that.

I really liked season 2 of The 100, but I didn't even make it to Lexa's death this season. I'll probably watch it again next season, if the reviews pick up.

If the LA, Chicago, etc. versions were all as good as this one, I would have zero complaints.

I'm really hoping that Amy Acker shows up in Nolan's Westworld as the avatar of an all-seeing AI.

To be fair, this was shot a long time ago and should have aired in 2015, well before the Lexa facacta.

I really like The Americans, but I had to stop watching earlier in the season because I couldn't handle watching it and PoI in the same week. I think my heart might have just given out. I'll have to catch up on this season at the end of the month.

Harold's fear of what he would do with the Machine's power go back to the start of season 2.

But that was after his speech.

I do think Fusco makes it out alive. Finch and Reese are almost certainly dead. I could see Shaw surviving to continue to work with the Machine's simulated version of Root.

I think Finch has been so hesitant to personally engage in violence and use the Machine to her full potential because he's aware of just how far he can go.

The Kills had two songs.

I still want Bowie's "Saviour Machine" before we are out.

Shaw was back for a week; I'd like to believe there was time for them.
Also, I'd be very surprised if it all doesn't end with the two meeting again in a the Machine's simulated afterlife.

"I spent years wondering how people could be so cruel, petty, so selfish - and then I'd think about how you could change them. Fix them.
And that's why I've sealed up the machine. Not to protect it from the people I was giving it to to protect it from
me, from people like us, from the things we'd do with it."
