I hope the show returns also. I have really enjoyed it and would hate for it to end with this episode. It was terrible and painfully disappointing. As in painful to watch.

Are you sure you won't change your mind?

It didn't take me long to trust Nolan and company and assume they wouldn't let me down. So glad I was right on that. They had a vision and I couldn't guess where it was going, but It's been more rewarding than I imagined. The sacrifices showed what was at stake, and the team additions turned out to be brilliant moves.

I didn't find it a satisfying ending to Life myself, but I know what you mean. Watched season one of Fairly Legal for Sarah too, but couldn't watch any more than that either.

I loved Life. Was sooo disappointed at its cancellation with no closure. So thankful we got that, and in grand style, with POI.

Yes, this show will stay with me too for a very long time. What a finale! The journey has been pretty amazing. And to think I started watching to see what Michael Emerson (I missed Ben Linus!) would do in a procedural with an intriguing-sounding premise. This show twisted and turned, and grew into so much more. Nolan…

Exactly.

Not sure what your holodeck comment means (it's been a long day at work), but all I was saying was Samaritan can obviously take over the controls of a fire suppression system and use it for its evil ends. Regardless of whatever safety measures are in place. I don't think it's weird when this type of scenario occurs on…

Could be, but it didn't seem so, from Root's alternate life scene. The Senator got in the way, so Greer sent her to kill him. Pretty nasty.

Shaw's smile as she greeted Bear and petted him made my heart happy, if only for a second.

I enjoyed that too. Of course, the simulations were only The Machine's likely projections of what would happen according to available info and probabilities (or whatever). The unpredictability of human nature, and choice, means we'll never really know. But I'm glad she used the simulations to show Harold his choice to…

Samaritan could override any protocols in the building.

Plus, Greer was a total madman, a deranged religious zealot. He was happy to die for Samaritan, thinking he'd just guaranteed that Samaritan would live on. But I had to laugh as he failed, while overestimating his own importance. That made it all the more gratifying.

That was heartbreaking. And from a Machine. Well played, show.

I've been hoping to see Leon too.

Amen to that!

I have no problem with the numbers episodes of this season, because it's, as you say, built into the fabric of the show. Initially it was just Harold and John, and the numbers missions are what saved John, then Lionel, and so on. When all else fails and hope seems impossible, John's go-to plan has always been, "So we…

I'm thinking the Machine recruited Logan. It's the only scenario that makes sense (to me anyway). Just don't believe he could get to her when even Samaritan cannot.

I actually did remember him and that he was a very early number. Am I too involved? Perhaps.

I really liked the emergence of the second Team Machine. And that their number was Reese… Very concerned about Harold, of course. Can't wait to see how this ends, even as I'm dreading its end. So much.
