I have a feeling I'm gonna stick with that based on the actors' charm alone… Hey, it worked for Castle… I'm still watching that even though the series ran out of fresh ideas 2-3 seasons ago.

I'm gonna have to adopt the use of "nope" as a verb…

Yeah — last season and this one have been so good IMO because many POIs turned to be related to the bigger story. I would die of happiness if they somehow found a way to bring back some of the S1 POIs. For example, I always thought the judge and the doctor (Tillman) would show up again to help the team, but I was…

Wait. Wait. I was just rewatching this and I realized — how did the Machine know that Simon's life was in danger? Does this mean that it has access to Samaritan's algorithms? (If it does, I totally missed this.)

That trailer was so good.

Hahaha oh man. Terry O'Quinn should leave that show (or has he left already? I forget) and guest on this one.

True. This makes me feel less indignant!

Yeah, the music drew me in big time back when this show as still a procedural. THANKS, UNKLE.

That's awesome — thanks for explaining that!

It's got the procedural and SF double whammy. It has no chance. I mean, John Noble wasn't even nominated, was he?

Please explain the Jesuit-SF connection; I'm intrigued.

But this week also had a PoI, it's just that the PoI was the target of Samaritan.

I haven't shipped a couple this hard since Mulder and Scully.

What are your thoughts on Scorpion? (Is it not plural? My bad!) I wrote it off entirely based on the premise and the fact that it's another cyber-crime procedural on CBS. I was like, "I already watch PoI, what do I need this for?"

Yeah, I know, I watch silly shows, too (*cough*Hawaii50*cough*). I just get so frustrated that this show is so good, yet isn't on the radar as much!!

???

Samaritan may have 756 assets, but it doesn't have Bear.

Would that be Dr. Richard Nygard, by any chance?

I agree; I felt they kind of rushed things with Root and Finch last night. But the two actors absolutely sold it, so I have no objections.

*shakes fist impotently at Samaritan*
