The Elias twist was great, but I wonder how he ended up with Team Machine. How is it possible that THEY knew he was shot (while they were on the run to save the Machine) and Fusco, who was there when it happened, doesn't know he survived?

According to the promo there are three episodes next week? How is that going to work?

I think the timing can be confusing on this show because some episodes apparently cover one day, while others cover several weeks.

He was a great zombie on The Walking Dead. Shame they never got to work on his flashback episode (this was a thing!). I remember him most from the first season of Dexter. He was awesome in that role. Very creepy.

I think the ultimate test is whether you were cheering or facepalming at the end of Henry's "epic hope speech".

Of all the 20 times Reese has been shot on the show, this one seemed extremely graphic and bloody! That took me by surprise. I would have been really shocked if Finch's "Nooo, this cannot happen!" hadn't taken me out of the moment. Guess I'll chalk that up to him being a simulation.

Some other clues: Shaw was at the safehouse, which Reese said was compromised last week (though I don't recall why?). Also, the Machine didn't seem to be an open system (Root was surprised to see Shaw) and we never saw the underground station because Samaritan doesn't know it exists.

Michael Emerson is over 60 actually. Still kind of young for dementia, but I just like mentioning how much older he is than he looks.

I'm pretty sure they have been getting both irrelevant and relevant numbers since the season 2 finale. They crossed paths with Control a few times because they were working the same case, right?

I think he does want to know about Samaritan, now that he's involved with the Correction. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he learned all about that, and still walks away not knowing about the Machine he works for himself?

Yeah, did they just break up?? It happened very suddenly, halfway through a scene where they seemed to have such a sweet conversation about his work. It left me kind of confused haha.

If Decima soldiers don't kill themselves once caught, their families won't get paid. It's pretty creepy.

"Go to your room!" instantly became one of my favorite Reese lines. He just didn't know any other way to punish that kid!

Let's not forget the library, and Finch's old-fashioned way of cracking the Machine's "numbers" code using book titles and authors!

I was go happy last week when the music from Berric vs The Hound played over the credits. I've wanted that released for years.

When did Jon lose his underpants though?

That would genuinely shock me, but those are some great arguments and I agree that they seemed to be setting up the introduction of the leader of the Harpies in this episode.

Definitely, and it's actually one of my favorite (although I have many) fight scenes because of that. The lack of music made it feel like it was supposed to be more "dirty" to me.

Yeah, I think it can't be a coincidence that all the scenes at the water gardens seem rushed and poorly done. I actually enjoyed the scenes with Bronn in prison and Jaime/Bronn on the road. The Sand Snake exposition scene in that same episode, not so much. Anyway… This is the first time the Sand Snakes were shown to…

The revenge plot doesn't make sense to begin with, because Oberyn wasn't killed by the Lannisters. He lost a fight. I don't see how killing Oberyn's entire family is supposed to undo that, even if Ellaria plans to lead herself to fight the Lannisters. But then again, I'm not entirely sure we are supposed to root for…
