Really excited for his arc, & how they've executed it so far. Think he's there for 3 more episodes (8, 10, & the finale).

Samaritan would've caught Elias on camera if he did, & finish the job.

Out of all three doctors, think Enright's the most likeliest in this regard.
She helped stabilize the lady Samaritan experimented the neural implants with in M.I.A., as well. Fusco saved her wife, so she'd be more than willing to help him out.

Hersh (sniffles)…

Then you'll love next Monday's show.

To me, he'll always be the creepy guy whom Phoebe dated in one episode in S8 of Friends.

Probably between B.S.O.D. & SNAFU (which is likely when Fusco would've read Reese & Finch about this situation; and they let him know). About 2 months have passed between those episodes (per Emerson!Reese in the opening scene).

TV.com mentioned that Amy Acker auditioned for Kate. Imagine if she'd gotten it.

I pointed it out (probably alongside many other peeps). It was filmed as the seventh, for the reasons you pointed out (would've been physically exhausting to be in every scene in her first episode right off the bat). Let her get comfortable with 'A More Perfect Union' & 'QSO', & then let it run.

Mine too. They're both the fifth eps of their respective seasons, have a lot of development on the AI front, & kickass scenes with Finch & Root. Always a pleasure. Probably rewatch it soon.

Though I've seen her only in Lost & Frequency, always came across as a fine actor.

You're welcome. They really doubled up on the smaller things this year, which you can catch upon rewatching (6741 is packed with it).

Between Revolution, Once Upon a Time, & this show on ABC Family (I refuse to call it Freeform) she's been working on, don't think Mitchell could've made it.

Thought he'd be a good fit to play the President or something.

Me too. Xander's a terrific actor. Shame he & guys like Terry O'Quinn or Željko Ivanek never came by here. Probably scheduling issues, or the fact that some of them either don't work in New York (X-Man's based in LA, & the show uses a lot of the local talentpool), or have other gigs (Ivanek's got Madam Secretary, &…

Yeah, that was sweet. Though they didn't show the kid on camera (the actor was probably unavailable, & they used a double).

No argument there. I'm inclined to let it play out, before dismissing it completely. Ending this stupid thing was the right move, though.

If it's not the tumor which affected him, what if he's actually succumbing to the virus then? Limited time to live, & he's gonna make the most of it. Go out on his terms.

I think Finch is gonna die, too. A friend pointed out that the show may've foreshadowed an Alzheimer/tumor like situation in the second episode (he's seeing Grace in the surveillance cameras, but she's not actually there). And they once again brought up the fact that his father died of it, in the season premiere.

James is back in next Monday's episode. Enrico on Tuesday. Enjoy!
