2024-07-07 23:16:04 +0000 UTCThis show to me is way deeper than Nolan’s Westworld too. The machine may not be as advanced as finchs machine but all our data is being mined and sold and used. This show is very prescient.

2019-07-22 17:45:38 +0000 UTCFor many folks, it's not about being above the work, it's about the managers of those jobs perceiving them as above the work. "You're just going to quit" or "they're so smart they'll just disrupt everything" or any sort of other compatibility problems. "Overqualified" is a painful word.

2019-07-15 00:19:01 +0000 UTCI really like this episode and your reaction was great as ever. The one thing I would say is that the tech is generally true to life - So, the way Harold catches the wi fi signal with the aluminium lined snack tube, and the way they can pair phones within a certain distance - all of that is possible

2019-07-14 10:01:12 +0000 UTCThe technology seen in this show is not as far fetched as you seem to think. The whole premise of the machine is based on the US government project called Total Information Awareness proposed by the Bush administration after 9/11. It was nixed because of privacy concern. In this reality instead the government secretly approved it. As for the cellphone cloning ability and surveillance techniques used, not to be paranoid, but those exist as well.

This one seems to be a threat to Finch and the “machine” aspect of the show. While Elias is an antagonist for the more traditional fighting crime aspect of the show.

2019-07-14 08:45:56 +0000 UTCSuch a good episode! And I'm so happy that you're intrigued by who Root is. She's most certainly something. :) And I love how she kills the politician who hired her in the end and makes it appear that he committed suicide too. I also love the moment between her and Finch in the end as well, and that she let's Finch know she's knows exactly who he is and how she was able to hack into his computers both at the library and at their secret headquarters. Brilliant! As for the main storyline with Root and the politician framing this poor guy for the murder of a congressman, making him a patsy, and then trying to kill him... brilliant and it's a storyline I didn't see coming. What a great twist! I really felt so bad for him and his family. Thank goodness for Finch for him buying up a company who will hire him soon and give him a good job. Also... like you said, the fight scene between Reese and the hired killer in the bathroom was great, especially when Reese suddenly rips the hands dryer off the wall and bashes it over the killer's head to render him unconscious. Fantastic! And lastly... I loved that this episode brought Zoe Morgan back in too. I liked her from her first episode titled, The Foe, but this episode for her was even better and I like her character a lot. Thank you again! I really enjoyed your reaction and I can't wait for more! Until next time...
