Replying to my own post, such bad form, but I just had a thought. I remember that moment of shock when… after we'd been led from the start to believe that the premise was that Harold couldn't live with these people being considered irrelevant to finding out he had, and had dismissed them and shut them out.

"Cura te ipsum" was also my first glimpse that this was going to be something out of the ordinary. Not just because the ending was so brilliant (it was) but because it struck me how much depth was put into the NotW. It was a strange inversion for CBS, like an anti-Elementary.

Yes, it was a hallucination. It quickly cut back to a "camera eye" view showing the yellow box around Finch but also revealing no one else present, before switching back to his point of view talking to his vision of the machine.

That was beautiful. I was worried that with the shortened run and how much was left with just the finale to go they couldn't pull off the sense of closure this show deserved. I shouldn't have worried, it was in great hands.

You win the internet today! Congratulations, don't use it all at once.

Now that I've had a few days to think coherently about this without the terrible ache inside it left me the first time I saw it (I was a mess…). I have to just say, hands down some of the finest examples of how much can be said with just a look without a word being said when you trust your actors.

Too late, I'm a season behind Orphan Black too and it just got me as well :(

The cell processor is an awesome design and those PS/3 supercomputers just stunning, but I was waiting for the crisis moment:

I really got the impression that it was along the lines of "if you want to leave, don't worry you'll never see us again" as in you will be dead. They seem super paranoid about being discovered by the outside world (only Gordon knows where they are, only he can facilitate people coming or going) and they don't seem so…
