And to think some folks actually wanted Claire to be Samaritan's avatar…

So much to love in the new POI: the software programmer/MMA number of the week, the Nautilus puzzles resurface, and best of all, Root's back in dual guns glory!

Finch took that class in the year 2012. Dominic appears to be atleast 30 years old. Unless he ages quickly, I doubt it.

Next week's POI is a software engineer, who also appears to be an indie styled mixed martial artist. This show know to write kickass women or what?

She's back in the next one (going by the promotional photos released last week). Martine was listed in the press release for 416, so their rematch could occur there, or in 419 (as the title suggests that it's Martine centric).

True, one of the purposes of the Nautilus game was to eliminate the threat identification network that "Silverpool" was developing. But this could be pertaining to developing an AI ecosystem, propagated by Samaritan itself, for a defense function in its war against The Machine.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_9… Here's a cool match with Regal & Daniel Bryan back in 2001. Dude was about 20 years old, and was already a natural!

Very true on Regal. The dude's got such a wonderful flair for the art of the sport, and it shows.

Arabic? Kinda like Sabu, huh?

That one had filler written all over it, primarily cause it was the first episode produced, after CBS picked up the show for a 23rd installment. They may revisit the character later on, but even if they don't, not a problem.

Possibly gonna be the last 'complete standalone' episode of the season, as the ones following it, leading into the finale certainly appear to be very myth-arc heavy. After what we got from Prophets to M.I.A., that's about 9 episodes filled with amazing plot progression, it's fair for them to do a breather episode. But…

Major props to Triple H & Dusty Rhodes for spearheading the youth movement through NXT. Can only hope that "Creative" doesn't neuter these guys once they're called up.

Guess is he'll pique the interest of both systems.

Maybe his character'll help kick off the angle that Nolan & Plageman mentioned, pertaining to Silicon Valley startups attempting to build their own Artificial Intelligence, and the emergence of the private sector into this game. Sounds fun…

Reese's pretty therapist returns. YAY!

Sounds… FUN. Given Poul's track record, easy pickup.

The promo for this had 2 recurring players from Person of Interest: Robert John Burke (Simmons), Morgan Spector (Yogorov, and actually gets to use a Russian accent this time!), as well 2 one shot guys: Michael Potts (Travers, though he may be recurring soon), and Scott Cohen (Rasmussen).

Helps that it is a girl's name, as evidenced by Jensen Ackles' real-life wife Daneel Harris.

If Nolan plans to adapt all 7 novels, he could try to intermix them with a non-linear narrative (with the prequels & sequels as flashbacks & flashforwards), as opposed to covering them book by book like Game of Thrones. And he's really good at writing women, so he can try to expand on their characters in the…

Yeah, she's the number of the week.
